CNB™ In-Mold Film
CNB™ In-Mold Film Transparent conductive film optimized for 3D formed capacitive touch displays and touch surfaces in smart watches, white goods control panels, automobile center consoles and dashboards, connected user interface devices and curved portable electronic devices. CNB™ In-Mold Films can be easily formed into shape using standard industrial In-Mold processes such as Film Insert Molding (FIM). CNB™ In-Mold Film benefits: Next generation 3D formed touch devices: Enables new creative industrial designs • With bending radius below 1mm and stretchability up to 120% CNB™ In-Mold Films enable virtually unlimited design freedom • Mobile phones with touch on curved edges • Smart watches with touch on curved and flexible surface • Shaped user interface panels for white goods • Curved car dashboards and center consoles • Input devices with 3D shapes (e.g.mouse) • Game devices with touch Replaces mechanical controls with touch Simple sensor manufacturing process • Using industry standard processes for thermo-forming and injection molding CNB™ In-Mold Film CNB™ Sheet Resistivity Touch surface CNB™ In-Mold-Film Transmittance Normalized CNB™ Transmittance 100 Ω / □ 82% 92% 150 Ω / □ 84% 94% 300 Ω / □ 87% 97% CNB™ In-Mold Film in laminated stack, using PC (polycarbonate) as the film substrate.
