How to Choose Between Glass+Glass and PET+Glass PCAP Touchscreen Structures

How to Choose Between Glass+Glass and PET+Glass PCAP touchscreen Structures

DINGTouch Professional Selection Guide

In the world of touchscreens, the material structure beneath your fingertips is just as important as the display quality itself. The two dominant structures in the market are Glass+Glass (G+G) and PET+Glass (P+G, also known as Film+Glass).
Each has its own strengths and limitations — the question is not “Which is better?”, but rather “Which is better for your application?”.

1. PET+Glass – The Lightweight, Cost-Effective Choice

Structure: A flexible PET film serves as the top touch layer, bonded to the bottom glass display layer.

Key Advantages

• Lightweight & Thin: Reduces overall weight, ideal for portable devices

• Cost-Efficient: Lower production and material costs

• Impact-Resistant: Flexible surface reduces breakage risk from drops

• Supports Ultra-Thin Designs: Suitable for devices with strict thickness limits

Potential Drawbacks

• Lower Scratch Resistance (approx. 3H hardness)

• Slightly reduced optical clarity, possible light haze or “orange peel” effect

• More vulnerable to UV, abrasion, and chemical exposure

• Tactile feel and premium look are slightly inferior to glass

2. Glass+Glass – The High-Performance, Premium Choice

Structure: Hardened cover glass functions as both the surface and sensor layer, precisely laminated to the display.

Key Advantages

• Exceptional Optical Clarity (>90% light transmission)

• Superior Scratch Resistance (6H+ hardness)

• Long-Term Durability: Resists UV, high temperatures, and chemical corrosion

• Premium Touch Experience: Smooth, responsive feel; excellent with active stylus input

Potential Drawbacks

• Higher cost and heavier weight

• More prone to shattering under sharp impact

• Slightly thicker module profile

4. Other Technical Considerations

• Manufacturing: PET+Glass is easier and more cost-efficient to assemble; Glass+Glass requires higher-precision lamination and dust-free processing.

• Hybrid Innovations: New designs such as CG+Film and UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) are combining the advantages of both structures.

• Surface Coatings: Anti-glare, anti-fingerprint, and anti-scratch coatings can significantly enhance the end-user experience.

5. DINGTouch Professional Solutions

With over a decade of expertise in touchscreen manufacturing, DINGTouch offers full customization for both G+G and P+G structures, including:

• Custom sizes from 2.8" to 65"

• Multiple interface options (I²C, USB, SPI, RS232, etc.)

• Industrial-grade, medical-grade, and automotive-grade solutions

• Optional waterproof, dustproof, explosion-proof, and anti-glare treatments

• End-to-end service from design and prototyping to mass production

Conclusion

There is no single “best” structure — only the best fit for your project.
When selecting your touchscreen, consider budget, operating environment, durability requirements, and desired user experience.
