TMR_Research_Reports_2017 Oleophobic Coatings Market for Electronic Device | Page 2

Report Description
Oleophobic coating refers to materials with zero affinity to oil. They are oil-repellent materials. These coatings quickly shed off the oil
from their surface. Oleophobic coating is inspired and supported by the development of nanotechnology. The technology creates and
modifies materials at the nano-level. Therefore, oleophobic coatings form oil repelling layers of nano-scale thickness on various kinds
of substrates. The coatings are ideal for preventing fingerprints on smart device displays. However, the coatings are also suitable for a
range of other applications that are impervious to dirt, dust, sticky substance, and other particulates, subsequently offering a substrate
that is easy-to-clean and maintains a clean surface for extended period than untreated glass.
Oleophobic coatings find major application in the electronics segment. The coating helps repel much of the natural oil from the finger
when touching the screen of any electronic device. Apple was the first one to introduce an oleophobic screen on its 3G S iPhone.
Currently, these coatings are been being applied on most of the smartphones and laptops available on the market. Consumer
electronics hold the major share of the oleophobic coatings market, and the share is anticipated to rise even more in the coming years.

In electronic devices, oleophobic coatings are employed for optical device such as touch screens and displays in electronic devices.
Oleophobic coatings are applied on LCD and projection displays as well as on video optical components. These coatings self-clean
themselves from contamination by greasy smudges, fingerprints, and other natural oils that are difficult to remove, and which
significantly deteriorate the appearance and view. Oleophobic coatings are also used in encapsulation of oxygen and moisture sensitive
electronics, such as organic light emitting devices, quantum dot films, photovoltaic cells, and flexible electronics.
The coatings are also been being used employed in printed circuit boards and semiconductor packaging. The demand for oleophobic
coatings in the electronic devices market is observed to be increasing year-on-year, as along with being oil repellent, the product is
also scratch- resistant and keeps the glass scratch proof on which it is applied. The oleophobic layer has a slightly slippery feel to it,
which makes the gadgets feel slick to the touch. This helps the glass to be more scratch resistant, as a reduced friction causes
dangerous materials to slide off the surface, rather than damaging damage it.
