IML In-Mold Labeling Process – Crafting More Durable Automotive Interiors

Geeton automotive interior components utilize the IML (In-Mold Labeling) process, a highly automated decoration technology primarily used for manufacturing intelligent surfaces. It produces three-dimensional parts with intricate patterns, exceptional wear resistance, and weatherproof properties. The process begins with precision blanking of customized printed decorative films, which are then precisely positioned within the injection mold cavity. After closing the mold, molten resin is injected under high pressure, enabling molecular-level bonding between the film and resin under high temperature and pressure. The result is a high-quality, integrated product with both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. For automotive interior components (e.g., instrument panels, center console buttons, decorative trims, door switch panels), the IML process perfectly meets demands for premium aesthetics, durability, and eco-friendly, low-VOC requirements.

Production Process

Unmatched Decorative Effects and Design Flexibility

Diverse Visual Effects: Achieves colors, matte finishes, wood grains, metal-brushed textures, leather patterns, and carbon fiber aesthetics. 

High Clarity and Texture: Smooth surfaces with ultra-high pattern resolution, enhancing interior luxury and technological sophistication.

Customization Support: Flexible solutions for complex curves, specific colors, intricate patterns, fine textures, and premium metallic finishes, meeting automakers' demands for personalization, high-end appeal, and unique aesthetic expression.

Exceptional Durability and Wear Resistance

Scratch Resistance: Resists daily abrasions from nails, keys, coins, etc., minimizing visible scratches for long-lasting aesthetics.

Chemical Resistance: Withstands common substances like sunscreen, hand sanitizer, and sweat without corrosion or fading.

Lifespan-Aligned Patterns: As patterns are embedded beneath the surface layer (unlike surface printing or coatings), IML components retain their appearance throughout the product lifecycle.

High Functional Integration

Backlit Designs: Enables evenly diffused lighting for buttons, indicators, logos, etc.

Touch Compatibility: Integrates capacitive touch sensors for seamless, modern control surfaces.

Seamless Integration: Combines multiple decorative zones into a single part, reducing assembly steps.

Carlor LED: Interior-Integrated, Multi-Mode Ambient Lighting

Carlor LED is a fully integrated optoelectronic component featuring an RGB tri-color LED array and driver IC in one compact design. It delivers a highly integrated solution for automotive interior and exterior lighting. With built-in high-speed communication interfaces, precision LED drivers, OTP memory, and temperature sensors, Carlor LED meets stringent requirements for color accuracy, consistency, and dynamic response in smart scenarios. It supports HBM 4KV/CDM 750V ESD protection, employs auto-addressing daisy-chain topology, and integrates LED fault diagnostics for comprehensive protection and intelligent system management.

Core Function

Uses an RGB LED driver chip to independently control the brightness and color of the red, green, and blue channels. 

Features high-precision dimming capability ( analog and PWM methods ).

Built-in memory enables user customization or selection of preset RGB parameters.

Optical Properties

Features a 120° beam angle with standardized wavelengths (red: 623nm, green: 526nm, blue: 455nm).

Delivers balanced and vivid color performance with high color consistency

 ( ΔE<0.01 ).

Supports ambient-light-adaptive day/night mode switching.

Communication and Reliability

Adopt a daisy-chain communication structure, supports automatic address allocation, and simplifies multi-device networking. 

Integrated with a hardware codec, it supports high-speed single-ended/differential communication and provides robust anti-interference capability. 

Featuring a built-in temperature detection and compensation mechanism, it suppresses LED color shift caused by temperature variations. 

Equipped with LED fault diagnostics (open-circuit, short-circuit, etc.), it enhances system stability and safety.

User Experience

Support rich  color variations  and dynamic lighting effects  (e.g., gradient, flashing, breathing), covering a broad spectrum.

enable flexible customization of personalized color schemes and dynamic rhythms, creating tailored ambient environments (e.g., comfort, alertness, emotional moods).
