Home appliance

The application of optical color pigments in the home appliance industry mainly includes the following aspects:

Appearance decoration

• Enhance visual effect: Optical color pigments can make the surface of home appliances show colors that change with angles. For example, ink or paint made of laser paste can make the home appliance panel show rainbow-like brilliant colors at different observation angles, increase the beauty and uniqueness of the product, and attract consumers' attention.

• Highlight personalization: meet consumers' demand for personalized home appliances and make home appliances more differentiated in appearance. For example, chameleon pearlescent powder is applied to the shells of home appliances such as refrigerators and air conditioners, so that they show different colors at different angles, adding personality to the home environment.

Function logo

• Operation instruction logo: Logos made with optical color pigments can change colors according to different lighting conditions or observation angles. For example, on the touch operation panel of some smart home appliances, the button logo made with optical color pigments shows different colors in standby and working states, which is convenient for users to intuitively understand the working status of home appliances.

• Temperature, humidity and other environmental indicator labels: Optical color-changing pigments that can change color according to environmental factors can be used to make labels. For example, in some home appliances that have requirements for temperature and humidity, such as humidifiers and dehumidifiers, temperature and humidity indicator labels can be made with temperature and humidity sensitive optical color-changing pigments, which can change color according to changes in environmental temperature and humidity, and intuitively display the temperature and humidity conditions of the current environment.

Anti-counterfeiting applications

• Product authenticity identification: Optical color-changing pigments have the characteristic of being difficult to imitate. They are used in anti-counterfeiting labels, warranty cards and other parts of home appliances to help consumers quickly identify the authenticity of products. For example, some high-end home appliance brands use optical color-changing inks on the anti-counterfeiting labels of their products. When observed at a specific angle, they will show specific color changes, making it more difficult to counterfeit.

Energy saving and environmental protection

• Intelligent light adjustment: Optical color-changing pigments with photochromic properties are applied to the display screen or lighting system of home appliances. The transparency or color can be automatically adjusted according to the intensity of the surrounding light. For example, smart window glass uses photochromic materials, which can automatically adjust the color depth according to the light intensity, reducing the energy consumption of indoor air conditioning.
