Abstract

The injection molding of thin-walled shell of color liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor is simulated by using Moldflow software and the warpage is predicted after molding. It is found that the warpage of plastic parts is mainly caused by uneven shrinkage. In order to reduce the warpage of the shell of LCD monitor, different cooling system of the mold are established, optimal molding conditions are found by optimizing process parameters. The results provide the basis for product design and mold manufacture. It is significantly important to improve the efficiency and quality of the plastic parts.
