What is DSP?
Over a quarter of smartphone users in the US have scratched the screen on their phone. It’s common damage that can quickly devalue a device.
DSP has been created by Ingram Micro Lifecycle to solve the common problem of light scratches and scuffs. This Diamond Substrate Process cost-effectively improves the cosmetic condition of electronics, such as tablets and smartphones, boosting the grade and therefore value.
How does DSP work?
Assessed and suitable devices are put into custom-built, device-specific jigs which are loaded into the application machine. The jigs are made watertight with a sealant using model-specific calibrated software and cured under UV. The integrity of the seal is checked using a high magnification dyno scope.
Sealed units are then placed into a polishing bed where a polishing medium is applied using a perfected combination of speed, pressure, and polishing time, ensuring an ideal outcome. This removes the top screen layer that’s been subjected to damage. On completion of the polishing, the sealant is softened and removed so the units can be extracted from the jigs.
The automated spraying process then begins and re-coats the glass surface with a nano-level water-resistant coating to restore the original factory finish. A full functionality, cleanliness, and quality test is conducted at the final stage, diverting any failures to additional processing or passing successes forward to the next stage.
For heavier damages, such as deeper scratches, chipped or cracked screens, where DSP may not be viable, Ingram Micro Lifecycle has a solution. Our LCD repair processes combine technologies to ensure the best possible yield is achieved.
