  • INJECTION MOLDED AND IN-MOLD DECORATED ARTICLE WITH ANTENNA, METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, AND POWER-FEEDING STURCTURE OF CASING WITH ANTENNA
    Publication number: 20130021215
    Abstract: An injection-molded and in-mold decorated article with an antenna includes an injection molded article, a decorative film which covers and decorates at least one part of an outer surface of the injection molded article, a planar antenna arranged between the injection molded article and the decorative film, and a thickness absorbing sheet arranged between the planar antenna and the injection molded article so as to cover the whole planar antenna to absorb a thickness of the planar antenna. The decorative film, the planar antenna, and the thickness absorbing sheet are integrally formed through injection molding simultaneous decoration. Since the thickness absorbing sheet absorbs concavo-convex shapes of an antenna pattern, quality of an appearance design can be improved in the injection-molded and in-mold decorated article with the antenna provided for a communication function of a small mobile device.
