the number of samples should be 3 pieces.
5.2 Encapsulating adhesive film sample. After stacking the glass, adhesive film, and
backplane in sequence, put it into a vacuum laminating machine, and perform curing
and crosslinking according to the curing temperature and time required by the product
to obtain a laminate. The glass shall be ultra-white patterned glass; the backplane shall
have a composite structure; the size of the laminate should be 300 mm×300 mm, and
the appearance shall not have obvious bubbles and delamination. The number of
samples is 3.
