In daily life, almost everyone will use a TV, but we all know why most of the TV remote control is silicone? Can't you use the hard keys like mobile phones? I think it will give people better force feedback, and it is not so easy to break. Is it the cost? Today, Mingzhen Xiaobian will take you to explore the secrets of the remote control!
It turns out that before the emergence of "smart TV", the remote controller was basically an accessory to the TV set. The TV set was developing towards the trend of "large screen, thin body and many functions". Few people took the remote controller as a selling point, especially in the domestic home appliance market. Competition is fierce and profits are thin. Most manufacturers use the lowest cost to realize it, resulting in monotonous products. Specific to why useSilicone button? Mainly or cost-effective.
Because the deformation capacity of silica gel itself is higher than that of plastic, the result is that the use of silica gel shell in the opening of the accuracy requirements are lower than the use of plastic. Its mold, finished product rate, after the mold re-processing is simpler and labor-saving, so the cost will be greatly different. The mobile phone is a daily necessity. If there are physical keys, these keys are the key components to operate the mobile phone. The importance can be imagined. However, the remote controller, at least no one has to take out a remote controller and take it out to play. Therefore, the mobile phone keys and the TV remote control keys are different in positioning and use scenarios.
In the early era of TV function machines, the functions of the products were very complicated, with many keys and the palm of the hand was so large that one-handed operation and suitable for all ages were ensured, resulting in dense key positions and small and convex key layout on the remote controller. In order to ensure the hand feeling and tactile force feedback, the product form that a single key should maintain a certain gap and height leads to less technical choices.
Moreover, TV sets are durable consumer goods, and the remote controller as standard requires high durability of materials. The Nokia full-keyboard mobile phone used by the previous small editor has worn out the paint in three years, while the remote controller at home has no problem with pressing keys in 78 years. Therefore, simple structure, stable quality and low maintenance rate are also major reasons.
The above is the reason why most TV remote controls use silicone buttons. I wonder if you understand it? If you have any questions, please call 136-6988-8704, Mingzhen will give you the most professional answer!
