Why Full Lamination Matters for Portable Monitors?

If you have ever used a standard iPad, you may have noticed something interesting: Apple’s entry-level iPad models still use a non-laminated display, while the iPad Air and iPad Pro use a fully laminated display.

But what exactly does “full lamination” mean, and why does it matter for portable monitors?

Non-Laminated Display vs. Full Lamination

• Non-Laminated Display
  In a non-laminated display, there is a small air gap between the glass and the LCD panel. This makes the screen look slightly recessed, increases glare and reflections, and reduces the overall visual experience.

• Full Lamination Display
  In a fully laminated display, the glass and the LCD panel are fused together without any air gap. This makes the image appear like it’s directly on the surface of the glass, reducing reflections and improving clarity, color accuracy, and touch sensitivity.

Why Apple Still Uses Non-Laminated Screens on Entry iPads

1. Cost efficiency – Non-laminated panels are cheaper to manufacture.

2. Repair convenience – Replacing only the glass is easier with non-laminated screens.

3. Product positioning – Apple keeps premium features like full lamination for its higher-end devices.

In short, it’s a marketing strategy, not a technology limitation.

Why Full Lamination Is Essential for Portable Monitors

When it comes to portable monitors, display quality makes a huge difference. People use portable monitors not only for work, but also for gaming, entertainment, and design tasks. That’s why Intehill portable monitors all use fully laminated touch screens.

✅ Better visual experience – No distracting reflections, sharper details, and vivid colors.
✅ More accurate touch response – Essential for gaming, drawing, or productivity apps.
✅ Slimmer design – Full lamination reduces thickness, making the monitor lighter and more portable.
