Insert molding × In-mold transfer | Multifunctional integration of automotive CID covers
Insert molding of optical functional sheets and in-mold transfer of decoration. We integrate a multifunctional cover by taking the best aspects of both methods.
We have a proven track record of meeting the high-level demands of automotive OEMs who want to incorporate optical functions and decorative designs into dome-shaped 3D designs for vehicle CID covers, which cannot be achieved through glass bending processes. The front side features a functional sheet with anti-reflective (AR), anti-fingerprint (AFP), and hard coat properties, while the back side is enhanced with decorative designs and an outgassing prevention coat through in-mold transfer. By combining these two methods, we achieved a unique hybrid molding that balances shapes and high-quality optical performance that are impossible with bent glass. This method can also be applied to high-function cover panels for industrial equipment and home appliances, in addition to vehicle displays.
