Glass Insert In-Mold (GIM) Method

"Narrow frame" and "seamless" integrated molded product of resin frame with glass and decorative features!

【Customer Development Needs】 We received a request to minimize the bezel by integrating the display glass and resin frame through one-shot molding, in order to maximize the display without changing the size of the mobile device. 【More Specific Requirements】 There was a demand to enhance the precision of the glass insert, minimize the bonding area to the utmost, and ensure waterproofing. 【Our Proposal】 We jointly developed a binder printing that bonds with resin on the back of the glass along with decorative design, which is fused using the heat of the molded resin. We ensured quantitative management of the bonding strength and guaranteed waterproof performance through airtightness testing with specialized equipment. Utilizing the advantages of our in-mold transfer technology, we established a method where "the transfer does not occur on the glass but does on the resin frame," allowing for frame decoration during molding. 【Customer Evaluation】 We were able to provide a product with a narrow bezel and no gaps or steps between the glass and frame, which has been adopted by set manufacturers both domestically and internationally. Additionally, we received requests for not only flat glass inserts but also "bent glass" inserts, which were also adopted.
