Abstract

Cette invention concerne un dispositif d'affichage à cristaux liquides dans lequel un dispositif à panneau tactile comporte une couche de résine autorégulatrice de traitement, transparente et souple (18) déposée sur la face inférieure d'un panneau tactile transparent (1). La couche de résine auto-régulatrice de traitement disposée de manière à entrer en contact avec des prismes (21a) sur une surface supérieure d'un plateau de guidage de lumière (21). Lorsqu'un prisme est mis en contact avec ladite couche de résine pendant une sollicitation du panneau tactile, une partie de contact de la couche de résine est endommagée, ce qui protège le prisme, et se reconstitue ensuite automatiquement.
