台灣近幾年來,美學的經濟展現發展契機,尤其是在經濟成長之後,許多人開始追求質感,連3C產品的外觀設計與質感考究也越來越精緻與時尚化起來,不僅獲得社會大眾的熱烈反應,同時也為台灣的美學經濟注入一股新的活力。 因此複合式之IMD模內裝飾成形技術遂成為顯學,其不僅可透過高科技之印刷油墨技術以取代所有塗裝塗料效果,同時一併解決傳統裝飾製程之環保污染,成本高昂及量產困難問題,甚且增大加飾選擇自由度,實在是一種『塑膠革命』的崛起。 但是由於IMD模內裝飾成形技術之領域廣汎,至少橫跨薄膜、油墨、印刷、熱壓成型、射出成型與自動化製程等六大領域,且幾乎皆為產業界之Know-How,無法逕由一般文獻得窺其究竟,因此本論文咸盼透過專利書目檢索統計分析之方式來進行此熱門技術之解讀,以便得能一舉獲知實務技術趨勢與預估產品應用之走向。
Economy of aesthetics in Taiwan has shown its development in recent years. Many people have demanded more on texture after economic growth. Moreover, the appearance and texture of 3C products have become more delicate and fashionalized. The trend is becoming popularized and it also adds fresh element to the economy of aesthetics in Taiwan. Therefore, complex IMD technique is highly focused little by little. It can not only have the effect have coating by utilizing high-tech printing, but also solve the issue of environment, low-cost, and low yield brought by traditional decorating method. It can even enlarge the selection range of decoration. It can be praised as a plastic revolution. However, IMD can apply on film, ink, printing, forming, injection, and automatic processing, so it is know-how belonging to industry only. It’s hard to research on this technique from general publications. Therefore, this paper will interpret this popular technique by analyzing patent list to predict its application and trend.
