Honor 8: 8 Secrets Of The Epic Glass

Honor 8 looks like a dream! Hats off to the world-class glass design. But did you know what makes it epic? ONLY we have the trade secrets. Read on…

There are 8 secrets to it. Here is a lowdown:

Ink-printing layers: There are 4-6 Ink-printing (also called Silkscreen) layers in Honor 8 that enhance the ID color and laminating effects.

Optical coating: Multiple layers (4) of titanium silicon elements with optical coating (OPVD) have been used to increase optical grating to bring out ID colors and lighting effects. There is an additional layer for better colour perception. It ensures increased optical transmission. There is also a reflective coating which enhances lighting effect and 3D grating texture.

3D grating texture: This has a light production layer which fashion the concepts of chaning, docking and touching aurora. High-accuracy 3D grating texture forms a transparent 3D UV layer (similar to multiple prism lines) with great precision and a film thickness of 0.01 mm. The unique aurora design makes certain that light follows movements and shapes follow the light.

Have a look at the rear glass optical process structure (3D grating texture mold process):

PET film: This acts like an attached carrier for grating and other ID effects. Here, carrier has light transmission properties. The grating texture mold help s in carrying out texture printing and light curing. There is a 3D UV layer attached to it too.

Optically Clear Adhesive (OCA): This is a carrier that connects PET film to glass. It has light transmission properties.

Anti-reflection (AR) coating: It ensures images of greater quality through increased optical performance.

2.5D glass: This is a curved glass with rounded edges. This has a bright and transparent front glass with optimal combination of glass thickness and strength which makes the glass shock-proof yet light and slim.

Anti-fingerprint (AF) coating: This has hydrophilic and oleophobic surface properties which makes it easier for the device to get rid of fingerprint smudges.

Honor 8: 2.5D Glass Explained

Honor’s fresh-from-the-oven flagship Honor 8 glorifies ‘glass’ like no one else does. Its dual glass design is the real crowd-puller along with other nifty features. What demands a mention here is the 2.5D technology that not just adds to the ergonomics but does a lot more than you can imagine.

 

So, what is 2.5D glass?

The display of Honor 8 looks slightly raised. That’s technically the 2.5D glass. To be more precise, it is a delicate front cover radian connecting two pieces of 2.5D glass that ensures comfort in hand. This is a curved glass with rounded edges. This has a bright and transparent front glass with optimal combination of glass thickness and strength which makes the glass shock-proof yet light and slim.

 

 What does 2.5D glass do?

The smooth symmetrical connection technique is used to connect the metal middle frame and the glass which then makes the phone super comfortable to hold. And it feels perfectly symmetrical in your hand too. That’s why it nestles into your palm giving you the feeling that it only belongs to you.

Optimal Radian

 The optical radian provides an ergonomic design. The radian of the 2.5D glass and connection material is carefully calculated to ensure that the phone looks unified even when viewed from the sides.

 

 

Twin sheets of 2.5D optical-level glass

Different from common 2.5D glass processing methods, Honor 8’s dual sheets of 2.5D optical-level glass protects the camera with the rear glass and also strikes a balance with the surface.

Now, you know how essential is the 2.5D design to Honor 8’s glass architecture!
