Embodiment 3
An antistatic LGP provided by the embodiment is electro-conductive. A material of the antistatic LGP provided by the embodiment is an electro-conductive organic macromolecular compound, or its material comprises an electro-conductive organic macromolecular compound, making the antistatic LGP electro-conductive. In the embodiment, the electro-conductive organic macromolecular compound is at least one of polyaniline and polythiophene.
The color of polyaniline in solid state is green, and the color of polythiophene in solid state is red. The light-transmittance of both polyaniline and polythiophene is close to that of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). If polyaniline, or a mixture of polyaniline and PMMA is used as the raw material, the fabricated antistatic LGP appears as green. If polythiophene, or a mixture of polythiophene and PMMA is used as the raw material, the fabricated antistatic LGP appears as red. If a mixture of polyaniline, polythiophene and PMMA is used as the raw material, the fabricated antistatic LGP has a hybrid color of red and green. When white light passes through a green antistatic LGP, the green antistatic LGP turns the light from white to green. When white light passes through a red antistatic LGP, the red antistatic LGP turns the light from white to red. When white light passes through a hybrid green-red antistatic LGP, the hybrid green-red antistatic LGP turns the light from white to hybrid green-red. To prevent white light passing through the antistatic LGP from changing its color, a fluorescent powder layer is coated on one or more surfaces of the antistatic LGP. The fluorescent powder layer transform the green, red or hybrid green-red light back to white again.
For example, to make the antistatic LGP release the electrostatic charges in a better way, an electro-conductive adhesive tape 3 is disposed on a side surface 2 of the antistatic LGP 1, as illustrated in
As illustrated in
S100: providing an electro-conductive organic macromolecular compound or a mixture of an electro-conductive organic macromolecular compound and PMMA as a raw material and plasticizing the raw material;
S200: filling the plasticized material into a mold;
S300: pressure-holding the mold filled with the material; and
S400: cooling the pressure-held mold to obtain an antistatic LGP.
In the embodiment, the electro-conductive organic macromolecular compound in step S100 is polyaniline or polythiophene.
For example, the method further comprises the following step:
S500: coating a fluorescent powder layer on the one or more surfaces of the LOP.
For example, as illustrated in
S600: attaching an electro-conductive adhesive tape 3 to a side surface 2 of the antistatic LGP 1.
When being used, by contacting a locating post (not shown) of the antistatic LGP with an electro-conductive back cover (not shown), the electrostatic charges on the antistatic LGP can be released, preventing the electrostatic charges from adsorbing foreign objects.
In summary, an electro-conductive film is disposed on one or more surfaces of the antistatic LGP in at least one embodiment of the invention; alternatively, the antistatic LGP is made of an electro-conductive organic macromolecular compound, or made of the material comprising an electro-conductive organic macromolecular compound, making the antistatic LGP electro-conductive, therefore the electrostatic charges can be effectively released. By attaching an electro-conductive adhesive tape on a side surface of the antistatic LGP, the antistatic LGP can release the electrostatic charges in a better way.
