1 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of a decoration film for mobile phones including a Zion material according to an embodiment of the present invention. The mobile phone decoration film of the present invention is a PC PMMA layer 110 as a base film, and an adhesive layer 120 is formed on the lower side of the PC PMMA layer 110, and the PC layer or PMMA layer ( 130) is formed, and the tint printing layer 140 is formed by MDD (Micro Dry Process Decoration) using ink on the lower side of the PC layer or the PMMA layer 130, and the UV tint printing layer 140 is below the tint printing layer 140. A pattern printing layer 150 , a metal thin film deposition layer 160 , and a silk printing layer 170 are formed.

That is, the mobile phone decoration film of the present invention is, as shown in FIG. 1, an adhesive layer 120, a PC layer or a PMMA layer 130, a tint printing layer ( 140), the UV pattern printing layer 150, the deposition layer 160, and the silk printing layer 170 have a structure in which they are sequentially stacked.

The PC PMMA layer 110, which is a base film, is formed by compressing PC (Polycarbonate) and PMMA (Polymethyl methacrylate) into a composite sheet, and the thickness thereof is preferably 0.5 mm.

PC is a kind of thermoplastic plastic. It has characteristics such as impact resistance, heat resistance, weather resistance, self-extinguishing properties, and transparency, and has an impact degree of 150 times higher than that of tempered glass, so it has excellent flexibility and processability. It is often used as a substitute for acrylic, which is easily broken and deformed, and as a complement to general glass.

PMMA is a kind of special resin. It is a polymer (polymer) component of methyl methacrylate. It has excellent optical properties, weather resistance, surface strength, hardness, and moldability.

As a back layer film laminated to the PC PMMA layer 110 , the PC layer or the PMMA layer 130 may be selectively applied, and the thickness thereof is preferably 0.07 to 0.125 mm.

As a material of the adhesive layer 120 used to adhere the base film 110 and the back layer film 130 to each other, a transparent liquid type optically clear resin (OCR) or liquid optically clear adhesive (LOCA)) this is used

Optical adhesive resin is applied as a means to solve problems such as the possibility of bubble formation when applying the substrate of a transparent double-sided tape-type optically clear adhesive (OCA), or a decrease in the step filling ability due to the printing of the cover window. .

The tint printing layer 140 is formed on the PC layer or the PMMA layer 130 , and may be formed through a gravure printing process using a gravure printing roll having a smooth surface. The composition for forming the tint printing layer 140 used at this time includes a dye and a binder. As the tint printing layer 140 is formed by the gravure printing process, a separate heat treatment and drying process is not required, thereby simplifying the process and reducing the process time.

The dye may include at least one red dye selected from the group consisting of Magenta VP, MS Red G, Macrolex Red Violet R, and MS Magenta HM-1450, Waxoline Yellow GFW, Kayaset Yellow GN, and Foron It may include at least one yellow dye selected from the group consisting of Brillinat Yellow 6GL, and also at least one blue selected from the group consisting of Kayaset Blue 714, Waxoline Blue AP-FW, and MS Cyan HM-1238. It may include a series dye. However, the dye that can be used as the dye is not limited, and any dye capable of exhibiting a predetermined color in the cell phone film can be used without limitation.

The binder may use a resin material having a predetermined adhesiveness. By using the adhesive material, it is possible to improve the bonding strength between the film and the pattern layer or metal decoration layer to be described later without a separate adhesive layer. The binder is an epoxy-based resin, an acrylic resin, a polyolefin-based resin, a polyamide-based resin, a polyester-based resin, a polyvinyl chloride-based resin, a polyvinyl acetate-based resin, a petroleum-based resin, a phenol-based resin, a polystyrene-based resin, and a urethane-based resin. It may include at least one of resins.

Meanwhile, the tint printing layer 140 may be formed by MDD (Micro Dry Process Decoration) using an ink containing a Zion material (including a Zion pigment).

The Zion material is preferably a reversible temperature-sensitive pigment that can maintain or lose its original color repeatedly depending on the temperature, wherein the Zion pigment is a metal complex dye, cholesteric liquid crystal, and metamo color from the group consisting of It is preferable that at least one is selected, but is not limited thereto.

In the present invention, the Zion material has the form of a leuco dye, a complete dye, and has the original color of the leuco dye and is one or a mixture of two or more selected from a developer and a colorant that helps develop the color. A color changer that has the unique color of Roikyo dye and helps color development, and when mixed with higher fatty acid alcohols, their ester compounds, waxes, etc. It is preferable that the melting point range is about 5 to 50° C., which is a temperature range that can be encountered in daily life, as it has a color development or decolorization action depending on the temperature.

The Zion material uses a microcapsule or a slurry of 1 to 5 micro sizes, which has excellent usability with respect to the solvent and binder resin included in the ink composition, so that it can have homogeneity without dichroism, and the Zion material is 30 to The color changes in the temperature range of 40°C.

On the other hand, the Zion material may have 40 parts by weight to 50 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the tint printing layer 140 .

On the other hand, if the Zion material is less than 40 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the tint printing layer 140, the color expression power is lowered and it is difficult to properly represent the desired temperature change, and accordingly, it is difficult to transmit the minimum temperature information, and the Zion material is tinted. If it exceeds 50 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the printed layer 140, storage stability is not preferable according to an increase in viscosity, there is a problem in that it is difficult to perform a gravure printing process, and a problem of reducing the reversibility of the decoration film may occur.

Meanwhile, although not shown, a scattering prevention layer (not shown) may be further included between the tint printing layer 140 and the UV pattern printing layer 150 . This shatterproof layer may be composed of one layer or a plurality of layers.

The scattering prevention layer may have a transparent adhesive layer on one side of the transparent polymer film, and a transparent adhesive layer on the other side.

Here, the transparent polymer film is any one of PET (PolyEthyleneTerephthalate), PEN (PolyEthylene Naphthalate), PES (PolyetherSulfone), PI (PolyImide), PAR (PolyARylate), PC (PolyCarbonate), PMMA (PolyMethylMethAcrylate), or COC (CycloOlefin Copolymer) It may consist of any one or more. The transparent adhesive layer may be made of any one selected from an adhesive in which a crosslinking agent is mixed with an acrylic resin, a silicone resin or a urethane resin, a thermosetting resin, or an ultraviolet curable resin, or a mixture thereof, or a copolymer thereof, and the transparent adhesive layer is an acrylic resin, a silicone resin, It may be made of any one of an epoxy-based resin, a urethane-based resin, or a composite resin thereof.

The UV pattern printing layer 150 is a layer on which a pattern is printed on the lower side of the tint printing layer 140 by an Ultra-Violet Printing method.

Unlike general commercial paper, which is widely used for printing paper, materials such as Ban, Silver Paper, and PP have poor ink permeability unlike general paper, so the drying speed of the ink is slow after printing, and a 'X' sound is generated and the ink spreads. There is a problem that the condition of the printout is not good.

The UV printing method is a method to compensate for the above problems, and it uses a dedicated liquid ink that has the property of instant curing, that is, drying immediately when exposed to UV light. It can express various colors, and it is strong against discoloration and moisture, so it can guarantee excellent durability against external weather changes.

Even if it is not a UV-type pattern layer, the pattern layer may be formed through a gravure printing process using a gravure roll in which an intaglio groove of a predetermined design or shape is formed on the surface. At this time, a pattern layer having a concave-convex cross-section may be formed by filling the engraved groove with the pattern layer-forming composition and then performing gravure printing on the tint printing layer 140 . When the pattern layer is formed in this way, it is possible to express various designs, thereby improving esthetics.

The pattern layer forming composition may include a binder material. The binder material is an epoxy-based resin, an acrylic resin, a polyolefin-based resin, a polyamide-based resin, a polyester-based resin, a polyvinyl chloride-based resin, a polyvinyl acetate-based resin, a petroleum-based resin, a phenol-based resin, a polystyrene-based resin, and It may include at least one of urethane-based resins. A gravure printing process is performed by filling a pattern layer-forming composition including a binder material in a gravure roll having intaglio grooves formed on the surface. Accordingly, the pattern layer can be directly formed without a separate curing process later, thereby simplifying the process and reducing the process time.

In this case, when the same material as the binder material used for the tint printed layer 140 is included in the patterned layer forming composition, the interfacial properties between the tinted printed layer 140 and the patterned layer may be improved.

The deposition layer 160 is formed on the lower side of the UV pattern printing layer 150 , and may be formed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or physical vapor deposition (PVD).

Chemical vapor deposition using a chemical reaction in the manufacturing process is an industrial method for making a thin film such as silicon on a substrate in a manufacturing process such as an IC. It is used to make silicon oxide film, silicon nitrogen film, and amorphous silicon thin film. When energy is applied to a gas containing chemical substances with heat or light, or when it is subjected to plasma at high frequency, the raw material is radicalized and the reactivity is greatly increased, so that it is adsorbed and deposited on the substrate.

In the physical vapor deposition process, when an oxide semiconductor or GaAs is deposited on a substrate, compounds are melted to form a solid target, volatilized with heat or an electron beam, and deposited on the substrate. At this time, the raw material is sent in a gaseous state through heat, laser, electron beam, etc., and when the blown gaseous raw material touches the substrate, it is changed to a solid state.

The silk printing layer 170 is formed on the lower side of the deposition layer 160 by a silk screen printing method.

Here, the silk printing layer 170 may perform a shielding function.

On the other hand, a perspective view of the configuration of the printing apparatus for the MDD thermal transfer process according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 . More specifically, the printing apparatus for the MDD thermal transfer process includes a thermal transfer head 10 , an MDD thermal transfer ribbon 11 , a platen roller 12 , and a transfer unit 13 . The transfer unit 13 may include a motor 14 , a driving roller 15 , a driven roller 16 , and a film sensor 17 .

The thermal transfer head 10 applies heat to the film including the film layer transferred by the transfer unit 13 and the MDD thermal transfer ribbon 11 . The platen roller 12 faces the thermal transfer head 10 with the film including the film layer and the manufactured MDD thermal transfer ribbon interposed therebetween, so that the decoration layer from the MDD thermal transfer ribbon is adsorbed onto the film layer. It supports the film including the film layer so that it can be rotated according to the transport of the film including the film layer.

The motor 14 is a driving source for supplying a film including a film layer to be printed to the thermal transfer head 10, and the driving roller 15 determines the shape of a pattern preset by a pattern input device (not shown). Accordingly, the film including the film layer is transferred while rotating in engagement with the motor 14 . The driven roller 16 transfers the film including the film layer while rotating in engagement with the driving roller 15 with the film including the film layer interposed therebetween. At this time, the film sensor 17 detects a position along the input pattern shape on the film including the film layer.
