I was doing a little research and I’m still unsure what can I use each of these tools for. From what I read, a vacuum chamber is used for removing air bubbles from a freshly laid LOCA and an autoclave is used to remove air bubbles from OCA. Please confirm this info and add corrections. Thank you.
The vacuum chamber(Laminator) is where it presses down on the fresh glass/OCA to evenly seal it. The autoclave pulls any remaining bubbles out. So, yes, you’re correct. :) Source: I refurbish LCD’s everyday!
