* Increased ruggedness: Bonding a sheet of glass on top of the display increases the ruggedness of the display.
* Improved durability: A bonded display is better able to resist scratches, fluids, stains and dirt.
* Condensation: The elimination of an air gap between the cover glass and the display means that moisture cannot penetrate and cause fogging on display’s surface.
* Extended temperature range and EMI filtering: The temperature range of the display can be extended by incorporating ITO heaters on the cover glass; EMI filters can be added via the same mechanism.
