Key Products/TechnologiesKeyProducts/Technologies
Foldable Phone Hinge Modules: Core components for foldable phones, including internal hinges (multi-plate, backplate) and external hinge modules. Internal hinges are located beneath the foldable OLED panel, ensuring the panel folds and unfolds without creases. External hinges are crucial mechanical components responsible for the folding structure of foldable phones. These product lines utilize unique etching processes and convergent lamination technology combining metal and tape materials. Products are manufactured by internalizing the MIM (Metal Injection Molding) process.FoldablePhoneHingeModules:Corecomponentsforfoldablephones,includinginternalhinges(multi-plate,backplate)andexternalhingemodules.InternalhingesarelocatedbeneaththefoldableOLEDpanel,ensuringthepanelfoldsandunfoldswithoutcreases.Externalhingesarecrucialmechanicalcomponentsresponsibleforthefoldingstructureoffoldablephones.Theseproductlinesutilizeuniqueetchingprocessesandconvergentlaminationtechnologycombiningmetalandtapematerials.ProductsaremanufacturedbyinternalizingtheMIM(MetalInjectionMolding)process.
Mobile Components: Precision processed components such as metal stiffeners, spacers, and shield cans, utilizing precision press molding and convergent lamination technology combining metal materials and PSA tape.
