Abstract:
1. A method for fabricating an injection-molded product, comprising: preparing a mold formed of two portions into which a pattern has been carved into an inner face of at least one portion of the mold; disposing a light shielding member within the mold; injecting a molten resin into the mold; stiffening the resin to fabricate an interim injection molded product, and adhering the light shielding member to the interim injection molded product and forming the pattern on the rear face; depositing a coloring layer on the pattern on the rear face of the interim injection-molded product to provide a colored pattern to transform the interim injection-molded product into an injection molded finished product having the pattern with the coloring layer thereon the rear face; wherein the resin is transparent when stiffened so that the injection-molded finished product is transparent on top of the rear face, and having a border around a perimeter of the top of the rear face comprising a light shielding portion so that the top of the injection-molded finished product substantially corresponds to the colored pattern when viewed from an exterior of the finished injection molded product through the transparent top of the rear face, and wherein the transparent top of the rear face is not in contact with the colored pattern.
