What characterizes the Ghost Backlight Window STC-GW?
The Ghost Backlight Window STC-GW is a special solution for directly backlighting icons in an interface. The ghost window remains invisible when backlighting is off, becoming visible only in active mode.
Why have we developed the Ghost Backlight Window STC-GW?
The dynamic and emotional aspects of an automobile have always been fascinating. Whereas factors such as reliability, performance, quality, and price were the most important purchasing criteria in the past, the design, brand, and image are nowadays a competitive advantage and help to differentiate. Whether responsive, family friendly, or elegant, a consistent product design down to the smallest detail is crucial.
Sateco sets the standard when it comes to creating controls and switches and offers expert guidance for executing your complex projects.
We develop your acoustic, haptic, and visual signature using our extensive product portfolio, in-depth knowledge, and years of expertise.
Applications for the Ghost Backlight Window STC-GW
Ghost Backlight Windows STC-GW are functional design elements for silicone surfaces. When used wisely, they can create visual highlights. Silicone surfaces are wipeable, water and dust-resistant, and can adhere very well to three-dimensional support surfaces. They offer limitless ways to create free mold areas.
Which advantages does the Ghost Backlight Windows STC-GW offer?
The Ghost Backlight Window STC-GW opens up new design possibilities in silicone surfaces. Functions become visible only when required. This simplifies and reduces the control surface to the required minimum and prevents distractions while driving.
How is the Ghost Backlight Window STC-GW manufactured?
The Ghost Backlight Window STC-BW is manufactured using a compression molding process. It uses heat and pressure to give a product its final form. In a pre-heated cavity, a vertical press mechanism is used to shape and apply wide-meshed cross-linking to the silicone in its plastic state.
The surface requires a PU coating to protect against abrasion and for continuously good haptics.
Summary
Silicone keypads—particularly the different designs such as the Backlight Chimney STC-BC, the Translucent Backlight Window STC-TR, and the Backlight Window STC-BW—play a key role in highly specialized applications. Equal light scattering and high light intensity make them indispensable components for system and component manufacturers with high innovation and quality standards in the automotive, building automation, industriy & freight transport, and consumer goods sectors.
