Consumer Electronics
Whether smartphones, flat screens, or notebooks – the expectations about functionality and design are increasing. Intelligent, aesthetic, pleasant to the touch, and brilliant colors: KURZ meets these wishes with the In-Mold Decoration (IMD) process. Extra-thin layers of varnish on the surface make the warmth of wood, the pleasant texture of leather, or the smoothness of metal both visible and palpable.
These layers are far less sensitive than real materials. Light or sunscreen, for example, can hardly harm them. The special advantage for manufacturers is that haptic and visual effects are transferred in one single process step. At the same time, the high product and processing quality is kept consistent – with large volumes. Top functionality meets intelligent design.
BIOFENSE® hygiene protection
BIOFENSE® not only has an antibacterial and fungicidal effect, but also reliably protects against viruses - including SARS-CoV-2. As a result, surfaces stay hygienically clean even in minimal light. This protection is free of heavy metals and also has a long-term effect when cleaning agents are used. It is transparent, suitable for all designs and functionalities, and does not impair the recyclability of the components. And BIOFENSE® surfaces look just as high-quality on recycled as on new plastic material.
Consumer electronics design revolution
It’s high time for new designs in consumer electronics. This is because the trend in this industry is moving towards a ‘future device.’ Looking for inspiration? Get involved with the visionary developments of LEONHARD KURZ! 5G-capable metallization, crystalline structures, backlighting, and touch functions combine to create multifaceted surfaces. Cost-efficient production methods save time and energy and have a positive effect on your carbon footprint.
Future
This smart crystal design impresses with backlighting effects that the users can adjust individually according to their wishes. 5G-capable metallization with Spaceship Metal design dispenses with chromium VI and is THE sustainable alternative to electroplating. Shy tech design with touch control is the chosen solution here that sets additional highlights.
Are you looking for buttons to change the colors of the backlighting? There are only homogeneous user interfaces in the LEONHARD KURZ Infinite Universe. Shy Tech design with touch control is the chosen solution here that sets additional highlights.
Gaming
The transparent Water Glow design makes this calculator look like a design concept from the future. With 3D PLASTX®, holographic logos or effects can be integrated as a brand statement. The mosaic mirror on the fan grille is just as eye-catching as the body with backlighting.
Living
Here, several shapes interlink, which combine to form a multidimensional designer object: A square base area, partially metallized triangles as side walls, and a glossy black pentagon surface. Partial metallization is based on chrome or indium and is THE sustainable alternative to electroplating. Additional operating options are hidden behind homogeneous surfaces in a shy tech design. PolyTC® touch sensors and haptic effects round off this concept.
Digital copy protection
SCRIBOS ValiGate® is the bridge between the real and the digital world. The security label prevents any attempt at counterfeiting with its intelligent technology. Thanks to its unique security pattern, it is completely tamper-proof. What’s more, SCRIBOS ValiGate® can be designed according to individual customer requirements!
3D surface designs with indium
Sensational reflections combined with color, design, and real chrome looks are the latest trends from KURZ. The incredible design variations offered by indium-based metallization can even be seamlessly and precisely transferred to components over 1,000 mm wide. Indium has another advantage: It is particularly suitable for shy tech designs and 5G technology. Backlighting provides additional orientation and design highlights.
KURZ also thinks sustainably with this decoration. Indium metallization is possible in the efficient IMD process. This wafer-thin real metal layer also does not impair the recyclability of the components and is ideal for finishing recycled plastics.
Haptic designs
Smartphones that feel warm and velvety. Leather or wood design with a smooth finish, color gradients with a sturdy grip: with IMD from KURZ you can offer your customers unlimited variety and a unique user experience. The soft-touch coatings with different haptic options are durable, scratch- and dirt-resistant, as well as sound-absorbing. Even transparent topcoats can be given a pleasant feel. Various textures that can be incorporated into the coatings further enhance the tangible effect. Make consumer electronics an experience!
Design meets function
Partial or full-surface backlighting, fascinating color schemes, smooth finishes, a pleasant feel – innovative backlight effects will make your products unique. Benefit from our expertise in combining sensors and design in one component. Tailored to your needs.
