The present invention provides a functional film structure and a method of manufacturing the same. The functional film structure has a sensor button arranged on a film substrate and can be formed into a three-dimensional shape by thermal forming processes such as vacuum deep-drawing or high-pressure moulding. The functional film structure is preferably flexible and preferably has transparent and illuminated sections.

Illustrated and described are a method and a device for laminating a profiled fibre moulding with a thermoplastic film. The film is laminated onto a surface of the fibre moulding to be coated by heat and differential pressure. To improve the lamination of the fibre moulding and to achieve uniform lamination thicknesses over the entire fibre moulding, the method includes the following steps: fixing at least an edge of the fed film to a base plate, heating the film, deforming the film via a moulding tool, feeding the fibre moulding, joining the fibre moulding to the pre-formed film, and removing the laminated fibre moulding.

An apparatus for and a method of manufacturing a display apparatus are provided. The apparatus includes a first mold configured to accommodate a window; a second mold configured to accommodate a panel member and to bond the window and the panel member to each other; and a guide roller on the first mold. The second mold faces the first mold and has a variable shape. The guide roller is rotatable and is configured to maintain tension in the panel member as the window and the panel member are bonded to each other.
