Hot 20S is a smartphone with a color changing back cover. The back cover combines photochromic ink and luminescent ink in one finish. In daylight, ultraviolet light turns the surface blue violet and reveals a graphic pattern. In a dark environment, the same surface glows blue green and shows the opposite effect.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Sun and moon rotation light change technology, daytime photochromic met with UV light to show the blue violet effect, the night in the dark environment to show the blue green luminous effect.On the basis of zero power consumption, three color switching effects are realized, providing users with a human computer interaction experience beyond expectations and increasing the fun and memory points of the phone for users.
- Inspiration
- Sun and moon rotation light change technology, the use of the moon front and back of the tricky seconds to think about the idea.Create the sun and moon together, the sense of immersion.The main body of the product is in large body characters combined with the corresponding variations of the sun and the moon.

- Challenge
- Dozens of pigments were screened for the best color change effect.In order to ensure that the photochromic ink and luminescent ink can maintain a balance, the ratio of the ink is repeatedly adjusted.It also overcomes the problems of short light change time, too fast change time and slow dissipation time.Ensure that the light change can quickly respond to the effect of rapid color change and rapid disappearance, while not affecting the effect of light at night.
- Realization and Technology
- This design has a total of 20 processing steps, with nanometer level accuracy of effect. After careful polishing and technical color mixing, the result is ideal.
