Introducing hygienic touch screen cover panels
with no gaps or protrusions
between panel and housing
YOSHIDA TECHNOWORKS empowers your success
Cutting large volumes of plate glass creates tiny dimensional variations that result in small gaps or protrusions when the glass is fitted into a plastic or metal bezel (frame).
Using our Glass Insert Molding with In-mold Decoration (GIM) process, YOSHIDA TECHNOWORKS eliminates these gaps and protrusions between the glass and the bezel.
The result: safe, hygienic touch screen cover panels with no gaps or protrusions harboring unwanted bacteria
Reliable technology used in smartphones and ATMs
Glass Insert Molding with In-mold Decoration
With our Glass Insert Molding with In-mold Decoration (GIM) technology, trimmed glass is adjoined to the mold cavity and pre-melted thermoplastic is filled around the glass, preventing the formation of gaps or protrusions between glass and plastic. GIM technology is used in products where such gaps or protrusions are unacceptable.
In a smartphone, for example, this allows for both a flat, seamless form without gaps or protrusions between the glass and bezel, and, by minimizing the area of adhesion between glass and bezel, for bigger screens in smaller phones. GIM technology is also used in banknote identification mechanisms in ATMs, where a gap or protrusions between the glass and bezel could lead to the accumulation of dust and jammed banknotes.

What makes YOSHIDA TECHNOWORKS the best solution for healthcare?
The monitors and touch screen cover panels used in healthcare settings pose a risk, as viruses and germs can get into the gap between the transparent panel and its housing. Our technology eliminates those gaps. Screen cover panels can also be provided with antibacterial shields through In-mold Decoration to insert an antibacterial film.
