Abstract

A direct dry film (DDF) lamination method includes providing a chamber including a bladder, positioning a frame in the chamber, positioning a compound curve substrate in an interior space within the frame, and suspending, by the frame, an optically clear adhesive (OCA) sheet over the compound curve substrate. In embodiments, a top liner of the OCA sheet is scored or cut to introduce weakness imparting flexibility in the sheet corresponding to the curvature of the compound curve substrate. The method continues with evacuating the chamber, deploying the bladder, retracting the bladder, and venting the chamber. Additional steps prepare the product for further boding with a flexible film or rigid part having a matched curvature profile.
