5-5. Mounting Notes 
§ Bezel Edge 
Bezel edge must be positioned in the area between the Active 
Area and the Viewing Area. The bezel may press the 
touchscreen and cause input if the edge enters the Active 
Area. 
 
§ Gap between the Bezel and Touchscreen   
A gap of approximately 0.5mm is needed between the bezel 
and the top electrode. It may cause unexpected input if the 
gap is too narrow. 
 
§ Cushion 
If a cushion is used between the bezel and the top electrode, 
the cushion must be free enough to absorb the expansion and 
contraction difference between the bezel and the top 
electrode. If the cushion is squashed too hard, the expansion 
and the contraction difference may cause the distortion to the 
top electrode. 
The cushion must be positioned more than 1mm outward from 
an inside of the insulation area. (Please refer to right figure) 
 
§ Tolerance 
There is a tolerance of 0.2 to 0.3mm for the dimensions of the 
touchscreen and the tail. A gap must be made to absorb the 
tolerance in the case and the connector. 
 
§ Tail 
The tail must not be forcibly stressed or bent too hard to avoid 
the conduction in the insulated area and wire breaking. 
 
§ Mounting 
Touchscreen must be held from the bottom such as the 
structure gluing the touchscreen onto the display. If the 
touchscreen is glued to the bezel, the adhesion between the 
top and bottom electrode is stressed and may come off. 
 
§ Forbidden Area 
The area within 2mm from the insulation area is structurally 
week for the pressure, espcially for pen use. The film may be 
forcibly bent and may cause defection. This area must be 
protected by the bezel and input must be avoided. 
 
§ Air Vent 
Most of the touchscreens have the air vent to equalize the 
inside air pressure to the outside one. The air vent must be 
open and liquid contact must be avoided as the liquid may be 
absorbed if the lquid is accumilated near the air vent. The top 
electlode must not be swelled by the air pressure from inside 
of the case.
