Development Tips

UI panel integrated electrode/sensor

Nissha IME can achieve three dimensional and seamless design, which is difficult to achieve with a conventional lamination process, by applying film electrode on a curved surface.
Lighter and thinner products can be achieved and more design freedom is possible with back-side features such as ribs and bosses. Our process is double-sided IML molding with decorative film and sensor film.
