A simple, feasible method for the production of laminate composites, consisting of a perforated substrate and a polymer membrane, now allows for the production of tactile displays the size of a computer screen. The procedure developed at Furtwangen University now enables the coating of large substrates with a high-quality membrane film, without creating air bubbles at the bond interface. The new method is environmentally-friendly, as the carrier is reusable and no chemicals are required to reduce adhesion. The procedure can be integrated into commercially available lamination systems.
