Maintains metallic luster while allowing radio waves to pass through | Tin discontinuous vapor-deposited foil
Transmits radio waves that are blocked by aluminum vapor deposition and plating. Achieves a genuine metallic appearance with nano-island tin deposition.
The issue of decreased antenna sensitivity in smartphones, Bluetooth devices, and in-vehicle devices when applying metallic decorative finishes was due to traditional plating and aluminum vapor deposition shielding the radio waves. By depositing tin (tin) in a discontinuous island-like manner at the nano level, we developed a unique deposition in-mold foil that maintains an electrically insulating state while visually emitting a uniform metallic luster. We established a new method that achieves a metallic appearance while allowing radio waves to pass through. This will be adopted in smartphone casings, Bluetooth-equipped devices, and automotive components, providing a high-transparency metallic exterior that does not interfere with radio waves in mass production.
