Patent number: 8153270Abstract: The invention concerns a decorative casing fabricated by bonding a film having a polarizing characteristic to the surface of the casing body via an adhesive layer, and an object of the invention is to provide the casing with enhanced decorativeness by designing the adhesive layer so as to render various color effects in addition to the effect rendered by the polarizing characteristic. The polarizing film is bonded to the surface of the casing body via the adhesive layer containing a special-effect material having a color effect. According to the present invention, by directly bonding the polarizing film to the casing via the adhesive layer that produces a desired color effect, other effects such as color hue can be conferred in the film bonding step, and thus a casing having an excellent decorative effect can be manufactured by a simple process without increasing the number of process steps.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2008Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Fujitsu Component LimitedInventors: Shinichiro Akieda, Takashi Yuba, Takashi Arita

Patent number: 7875339Abstract: The present invention relates to a decoration technique for providing iridescent color effects or glittering luster effects to a resin casing by attaching a polarizing film in contact with a resin casing, and for finishing a cut-off edge portion of the polarizing film smooth. After forming the polarizing film on a mold having a prescribed shape, a thermoplastic resin is injected into the mold to produce a thermoplastic resin casing to which the polarizing film is firmly attached. When cutting off an excess portion of the polarizing film by using a cutting die, a heater built into the cutting die is energized, and the cut-off edge portion of the polarizing film is fused by the heating of the cutting die, thus fixing the edge portion to the thermoplastic resin.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2007Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Fujitsu Component LimitedInventors: Takashi Yuba, Shinichiro Akieda, Takashi Arita
