Introducing displays that combine high functionality with outstanding design in glass or plastic
YOSHIDA TECHNOWORKS empowers your success
As the electrification of the auto industry gathers speed, the need for interior displays with higher functionality and more sophisticated design is increasing.
Larger displays with a curved design must still be safe and reliable.
With our unique expertise centered on the world’s first In-mold Decoration technology, YOSHIDA TECHNOWORKS offers precise solutions to a wide range of automotive device requirements.
Mass production experience of in-vehicle CID cover panels for Japanese automotive manufacturers
Select the best film for the job: film (In-mold Decoration foil) that can follow sharper, deeper-drawn geometry, AG film or AF film for its LCD-compatibility, or an AR film that meets the desired spec level. Then, we propose the optimal molding process: In-mold Decoration, double-sided In-mold Decoration, insert molding, and more.
With mass production experience of in-vehicle CID cover panels for Japanese automotive manufacturers, YOSHIDA TECHNOWORKS delivers reliably high-quality products in both plastic and glass.
For plastic
Our unique, special techniques eliminate retardation in transparent sections.
Our high-yield double-sided In-mold Decoration process produces a deep, piano-black design.
For glass
Integral molding with a plastic bezel results in narrower frames. The additional ribs and bosses on the rear surface of the plastic bezel makes for improved alignment during assembly and easy reworking of the main body.

Glass Insert Molding with In-mold Decoration
- Side monitors
- Rearview mirrors
- Head-up displays
- Electronic instrument clusters
- Satellite navigation screen displays
This technology enables integral molding of glass and resins and the In-mold Decoration of the resin film during the injection process.
Shaving down the edges for a virtually frame-less design makes it possible to offer a bigger display area.
This technique can also be applied to curved glass.

AR, AG, and AF In-mold Decoration
- Side monitors
- Rearview mirrors
- Head-up displays
- Electronic instrument clusters
- Satellite navigation screen displays
- A-pillar displays
Anti-reflection (AR), anti-glare (AG) and anti-fingerprint (AF) coatings are transferred to the surface during the injection process making it possible to follow the gentlest of curves.
AR, AG and AF coatings can be applied individually or in any combination.
