Nissan’s smarten up Scratch Shield paint for mobile phones
Posted at November 28th, 2009 under General, Mobile content | 1 Comment »
Nissan Motors has announced that it will license its breakthrough “Scratch Shield” paints to NTT DOCOMO for mobile phone application for Japan. A while back, Nissan scientists helped to develop a paint clear coat called Scratch Shield that can self-repair light scratches overnight or over the course of a week.
The “Scratch Shield”, a world first in paint technology, is ideal for mobile phone applications, which is susceptible to scratches over daily use. The clear coat uses a special top layer of highly elastic resin that gives the coating ’flexibility’ that reportedly means that it can prevent or “heal” 80% of surface marks. The coating itself is also tougher, so it is less susceptible to marks in the first place.
Nissan has been licensing its unique technologies to non-automotive applications since 2004. Nissan thus benefits other industries through its research and strives to promote non-automotive features globally.
With the lineup of other licensed technologies like view monitor and far infrared image sensor, mobile phones will also be a value added feature for the customers.
