Also known as: display seal, sealing, sealing compound

A seal is a protective barrier used in display assembly to completely close the gap between the screen and its enclosure. It can take the form of continuous rubber or silicone gaskets, adhesive tapes, sealing compounds, or resins. A seal ensures a high level of protection against water, dust, and contaminants, often meeting IP (Ingress Protection) standards. It is essential in devices intended for harsh environments, such as industrial automation, outdoor systems, military hardware, and medical equipment.
