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.
- Cover panel with film electrode in one shot by insert molding
- More design freedom with ribs and bosses.
- Higher reliability without using adhesive
- transparent / transluent window design with backlighting
- Simpler structure and process
Material Insert
