Henkel joins Vehicle Displays & Interfaces Symposium 2022

Henkel will be attending the Vehicle Displays & Interfaces Symposium 2022,
held from 27-28 September in Detroit, Michigan. As a leading supplier to the
automotive industry, Henkel is presenting its advanced product portfolio
including structural bonding and thermal management material solutions. The
event will also provide an opportunity for customers to meet Henkel
representatives to draw on their extensive experience to discover the best
solutions for their specific needs for displays.

As the trend in automotive display design is to go larger, thinner, lighter,
and more varied designs that increasingly use dissimilar materials,
manufacturing becomes more complex. Henkel enables the production of
state-of-the-art automotive displays with an advanced portfolio of
innovative products tailored to the specific challenges in structural
bonding and thermal management.

At the 29th symposium, Courtney Freeland, Senior Application Engineer at
Henkel, will give a technical presentation that focuses on structural
bonding and thermal management for automotive displays. The presentation
will introduce Henkel’s latest achievements in structural bonding and the
product capabilities for automotive displays. The presentation explores
market trends and the associated challenges on the display bonding process
as well as providing an overview of ideal thermal management practices with
liquid gap fillers that are applicable for PCBs, graphic boards and LEDs
used in the newest automotive smart cockpits.

Solving bonding challenges in automotive display

Henkel’s structural adhesives for automotive displays bond components
throughout the entire display, from TFT-modules and cover lenses to frames
and barrel structures. Henkel is providing robust solutions to a variety of
bonding challenges, such as bonding dissimilar substrates or compensating
for thermal expansion differences without transferring stresses to the
display. Moreover, Henkel’s in-house expertise in structural bonding is
reinforced by a versatile equipment portfolio for dispensing, curing, or
accelerating the curing speed of adhesives.

Improved thermal management materials: advanced liquid gap fillers

Modern, multi-functional displays and infotainment systems have become
increasingly powerful and generate more heat due to their increased size and
broader functionality. The resulting increased heat emission by display
components makes advanced thermal interface materials essential. With
advanced liquid gap filler solutions, Henkel offers a variety of thermal
interface materials in a spectrum of media and thermal conductivities to
meet various heat dissipation requirements and manufacturing preferences.
And these solve the most challenging thermal control issues in automotive
electronics and displays. Henkel’s Bergquist brand meets the challenges that
automotive display manufacturing provides to perfectly address customers’
needs.

“As a market leader in automotive adhesives, we are proud to be at the
forefront of this exciting field. The symposium gives us the opportunity to
exchange ideas with our partners in the automotive industry about the needs
and innovations across the automotive supply chain. In addition to our
innovative portfolio, Henkel is also providing high specification
application equipment to enable the production of advanced automotive
displays,” said Courtney Freeland.
