  • Publication number: 20240050984
    Abstract: A polymer plastic front plate comprises: a plastic substrate and a hard coating layer formed on an adhesion surface of the plastic substrate. The hard coating layer comprises: organic-inorganic hybrid UV oligomer, high Tg UV resin additive, a plurality of dispersed flaky nano inorganic material, and photo initiator, so as to form a gas barrier hard coating layer with high surface dyne value (>44 dyne) on the adhesion surface of the plastic substrate. It not only has good ink printability and OCA adhesiveness, but also inhibits the diffusion of fugitive gas from polymer plastic front plates during high-temperature, high-temperature and high-humidity, high-low temperature thermal shocks and other harsh automotive industry environmental tests. The gas can be avoided from entering the OCA layer, thereby solving the problems of bubbles and delamination after the environmental tests are performed.

  • Publication number: 20230202268
    Abstract: The invention refers to a light-transmissive plastic plate structure suitable for vehicle sunroof with curved surface and a method for fabricating the same. By using polymer material formulation, UV resistant coating formulation and precision coating technology, the wear resistance of polymer surface of plastic substrate can be improved to the same level as glass, and the original optical and physical properties after various environmental tests can also be maintained. The plastic substrate is first formed into a curved plastic plate through a hot pressing process, and then a connecting structure is formed and fixed on the plastic plate by an insert-molding injection process, in order to replace the traditional car sunroof mechanism which is assembled by glass plate bonded with metal connecting parts.

  • Publication number: 20230150177
    Abstract: A method for processing a curved plastic panel is to first form a hard coating layer, an optical function layer, and a printing layer on a flat plastic substrate, and then cut it into a predetermined shape, and then use a hot pressing and curving device to perform a hot pressing and curving process to the flat plastic substrate in order to make it becoming a curved plastic substrate. The hot pressing and curving device can simultaneously perform hot pressing during the heating process, and has the functions of real-time monitoring of the local temperature and the local curvature forming state, and then feedback to the local heating and curvature forming mechanism for adjustments. The monitoring of temperature and curvature can be divided into multiple stages, which can be monitored stage by stage and adjusted for heating or curvature forming to improve production yield.

  • Publication number: 20210116630
    Abstract: A light-guide sunroof assembly comprises a plastic substrate and a light source module furnished besides the plastic substrate. An outer layer of the plastic substrate is added with dye to form a colored background. A plurality of light-guide microstructures is furnished on the plastic substrate to guide the light generated by the light source module toward an inner surface of the plastic substrate. Thereby, the light generated by the light source module is guided by the plastic substrate and then ejects out of the inner surface of plastic substrate, so as to provide a light decoration or lighting effect that enriches the visual experience. Moreover, the plastic substrate is first formed into a curved plastic plate through a hot pressing process, and then a connecting structure is formed and fixed on the plastic plate by an insert-molding injection process, in order to replace the traditional car sunroof mechanism which is assembled by glass plate bonded with metal connecting parts.
