Colours and nature are the key of the new OKIA HD press kit
OKIA is ready to surprise Silmo visitors with its new amazing HD press kit. Inspired to the world of nature, the 2010 press kit is a little flowerpot housing a series of colourful and original acetates pieces that represent leaves, birds and flowers: everyone is urged to freely invent and realize his own HD plant, following his imagination and his personal taste. The plant thus created becomes an exclusive decoration for houses or offices, while the single pieces of acetate can be used as wire wrappers.
Once again OKIA chooses to play with its partners and clients in order to show how HD Technology is incredible and versatile: people are invited to discover and explore individually the unlimited possibilities offered by the patented technology in terms of colours, patterns and textures. The innovative HD plant is an exciting experience to understand the connection between HD Technology and our environment: we live in a world made of infinite colours and OKIA is able to create over 14000 of them on acetate per year, satisfying the most demanding customers and literally revolutionizing the eyewear market.
A double layer of thin HD acetate is applied to realize the different pieces, so that they all show different patterns on the front and back side. Moreover, a vivid three dimensional effect is shown on the "tomato" acetate piece through the application of a curved surface. A wide range of gradient colours and marvellous decorations obtained through the use of the BMT technique make the press kit a funny and intriguing object offering the possibility to better understand and experience the sensational HD Technology in an amusing and unconventional way.
Once again OKIA, the innovative company based in Hong Kong, proves to be a leading character in the world of eyewear design and technologies: the new HD 270 technique - the latest goal reached by OKIA through a continuous research and improvement of its patented HD Technology - is set to revolutionize the eyewear market opening new incredible possibilities for product design and development.
Thanks to this extraordinary technique, the HD pattern can cover the whole temple surface except the inside one: for the first time, the sensational decorations obtained through HD Technology can be shown also on the top and on the bottom sides of the temple. In this way, another limitation in the world of eyewear design can be overcome and a greater creativity is allowed.
The new-born HD 270 technique has been applied to a wonderful Capriss model - CPO 1006A - that takes inspiration from the natural world and aims at romantic and trendsetting women. Classic and extremely refined blooms and posies create a harmonious floral decoration while soft tone-on-tone colours give to the frame an unmistakable touch of femininity and glamour. The style plays with the imaginary traditionally associated with the floral world showing a lightly tinted botanical pattern that reflects an elegant and charming look.
Capriss CPO 1006A: the perfect mix between technology and fashion for anyone who loves nature.
Qoins, OKIA's top quality men collection, welcomes a new exceptional and extremely elegant frame.
The new QNO 1006D style carries on the design concept of "timeless classic" applying it to the theme of the vintage lighter: thanks to an original design and to the sensational effects allowed by HD technology, the frame deeply recalls the touch and feeling of a lighter, thus becoming a perfect expression of the Qoins philosophy with its inspiration deriving from vintage products and retro classical design.
Both end-pieces and hinges of the frame oddly recall a gasoline lighter and the gold metal hinge is designed just like the flint wheel that we usually see on lighters. Unmistakable hallmarks of vintage eyewear and retro products are the large eyeshape and the double bridge of the frame, besides the classic colour combination. The vintage look of the new style is completed by end tips with the Qoins logo realized through the BMT technique that allows ultra-shape cutting. A spring hinge with single action is applied in order to provide greater comfort to wearers.
A lighter is very small in size but its production process can be very complicated and its working mechanism is extremely intricate though it can seem simple: in the same way, behind the Qoins collection there is an ongoing research on design and precious details aiming at strong men with an individualist taste that demand the best quality together with elegance. The sense of exclusivity and luxury created by a refined and linear design combined with a classic colour make the frame not simply an exceptional eyewear model but first of all a desirable and collectible object, exactly like vintage lighters with their history and memories.
as an innovative and pioneering technology
July, 2010. OKIA Optical Company Limited's (OKIA) patented HD (High Definition) Technology again has proven itself as an innovative and pioneering invention. On July 2nd, 2010, the State Intellectual Properties Office of People Republic of China has announced the final ruling in favor of OKIA on the re-examination of OKIA HD patent invalidation requested by a Hong Kong Acetate Manufacturer in China.
The ruling has confirmed that OKIA's HD technology patents are valid. OKIA's HD technology is unique and specialized, which the technology allows eyewear designers and brand managers to create any innovative HD (High Definition) colors and patterns. The Clarity of color and pattern is so vivid, which make it almost life-like. What's more? OKIA's patented HD technology does not require MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) which is no risk to the customer trying out any new color. These advantages open up a totally new level of creativity and possibility on products and colors development!
Besides the ability of creativeness, the key benefit of using OKIA's HD technology is the protection against potential copy-cats or infringement. OKIA stands firmly in protecting their customers and the intellectual properties of every OKIA product. If the copied products are claiming themselves to be also HD (High Definition), it may be misleading and harming the trust of their customers. OKIA is proactively taking necessary actions to stop suspected 'copy-cats' and infringed products to the market.
OKIA encourages brand designers and product managers to actively use OKIA's HD technology. The advantages and the benefits of using OKIA's patented technology are obvious which will guarantee customers continuously to create a unique position in the market place.
OKIA will not certainly go unnoticed at Silmo 2010: its new nature-inspired HD style will bring a magic explosion of extraordinary and colourful butterflies that will leave you breathless.
The innovative theme of the butterfly takes inspiration from the world of nature but at the same time it is reinterpreted in an abstract way that gives a highly contemporary look to the frame. Elegant and refined butterfly wings spread along the arms and multicoloured patterns create an extremely realistic decoration.
Sheen and outstanding details of the wings are shown on the frame thanks to the application of the new incredible pearl Acetate: this acetate allows the realization of a pearl and sparkling effect that makes the HD pattern sharper, softer and with a greater volume on texture. This acetate with unbelievable effects that is highly appreciated among OKIA custumers is worked through HD Technology, thus offering a new world of outstanding 3D patterns and textures. As a result of the ongoing progress of this patented and worldwide recognized technology, sensational and naturalistic 3D decorations are applied for the first time on eyewear.
Harmony, glamour and femininity are the main features of this new frame together with a peaceful and romantic atmosphere that derives from the enchanted imaginary of butterflies. Fashion meets nature in the classical theme of the butterfly, the most popular motif for girls wear ever, an enduring favourite in every season.
Fashion, femininity and glamour: these are the ingredients of the new Capriss style that OKIA has just launched for its high quality eyewear collection that aims at trendsetting and demanding women.
The innovative CPO1005a C3 style carries on the unmistakable Capriss philosophy drawing together its romantic and imaginative inspiration together with the most developed results allowed by the patented and worldwide recognized HD Technology. Thanks to this technology, textures and colours are transformed into crisp high definition which shows depth, offering a new world of outstanding patterns and textures.
The acetate frame shows a metal part on both endpieces, while patterns are realized through a simple colour application with extraordinary tonal outcomes that create a high-end stylish look. A wonderful HD floral decoration spreads along the temples in a harmonious combination of gradient colours becoming a perfect expression of the most true meaning of Capriss collection.
The style reflects a charming, contemporary and elegant look that takes inspiration from fantasy, sensuality and innovation at the same time. Its elegant decoration brings attention to the frame and gives it a refined touch of femininity in order to satisfy the individual needs of women who love dreams and romanticism but without any tradeoffs in terms of quality and fashion. This is the very key to the success that OKIA and its Capriss brand have achieved: the clever mix between classical beauty and modern taste.
In view of the forthcoming 2010 edition of Silmo, OKIA has just launched a new extraordinary and highly refined frame for its top quality men collection Qoins.
The innovative QNO 1006A model carries on the design concept of "timeless classic" - one of the main features of the collection - applying it to the new theme of the vintage lighter: thanks to an original design and to the sensational effects allowed by HD technology, the frame deeply recalls the touch and feeling of a lighter, thus becoming a perfect expression of the Qoins philosophy with its inspiration deriving from vintage products and retro classical design.
Both end-pieces and hinges of the frame oddly recall a gasoline lighter and the hinge is designed just like the flint wheel that we usually see on lighters. The vintage eyeshape of the new style is completed by end tips with the Qoins logo realized through the BMT technique that allows ultra-shape incisions.
A lighter is very small in size but its production process can be very complicated and its working mechanism is extremely intricate though it can seem simple: in the same way, behind the Qoins collection there is an ongoing research on design and precious details aiming at strong men with an individualist taste that demand the best quality together with elegance. The sense of exclusivity and luxury created by a refined and linear design combined with a classic colour make the frame not simply an exceptional eyewear model but first of all a desirable and collectable object, exactly like vintage lighters with their history and memories. That is just the most true meaning of the Qoins collection: Qoins is sober, Qoins is unique, Qoins is full of emotions. In one word, Qoins is collectible.
The frame shows a series of outstanding and sculptural orchids on both temples and the petals of the flowers are so thin and carefully bent that they seem real. Harmonious gradient colours complete the realistic effect of the decoration and give it a refined touch of femininity.
This exceptional new frame is the result of an ongoing research and development on the already worldwide recognized HD Technology. This patented technology allows the transformation of textures and colours into crisp high definition which shows depth, offering a new world of outstanding 3D patterns and textures. HD Nano Technology, the latest creation by OKIA, has also been used to realize the floral decorations: the traditional thickness of HD acetate has been reduced in order to obtain a more flexible, lightweight and tough product, while keeping the same effect and the versatility of the original.
Thanks to the progress of HD Technology, 3D floral decorations that we usually see only on dresses, hair bands and other accessories are applied for the first time also on eyewear: charming and full bloom flowers bring attention to the frame and make it a perfect expression of both harmony and glamour. Fashion and sculpture meet, creating 3D embellishments and tactile details that combine fantasy with sensuality and innovation. The new floral HD frame is the most up-to-date answer to the needs of women who love dreams and romanticism but are also concerned about fashion and quality.

As a result of the ongoing research and improvement of this worldwide recognized technology, the new frame combines the high quality and impact resistance of HD Acetate with a trendy design concept. Thanks to BMT technique, which allows detailed incisions with a strong metallic touch, basic shape and geometric patterns stand out against the acetate and create an attractive combination of quirky and bright colours. Stripes, squares and rectangles are the main elements of the texture and each pattern is clearly defined thanks its bold colour-blocking.

Once again OKIA has achieved the highest level in innovation, crossing the boundaries between fashion and technology. The development of new technologies have found its motivation in meeting the needs of its customers, giving birth to a fashion eyewear made of quality, colour, textures and highly detailed imagery.
OKIA Optical Co. Ltd. has applied for and obtained patents for its High Definition Technology (HD) in a number of countries and regions. Our HD technology excels in displaying patterns and/or graphics more clearly and vividly than the current technologies by using our proprietary high resolution plastic devices and components as well as manufacturing processes. Our HD products won much kudos in such world-renowned competitions as Silmo d'Or 2008, Silmo d'Or 2009 and iF Design Award China 2009.
However, since the inception of our HD products and technologies, we have detected numerous incidents of infringement of our HD products and technologies. To Act against such infringement of our IPR and to protectusers of our HD products, OKIA has taken strong measures and issued in various media and through many channels a serious and stern warning against infringers. We has informed all infringers, individuals, groups or entities, that OKIA will take all necessary legal actions to protect its IPR and uphold justice for the consumers. At the same time, we are calling on colleagues in our trade and members of our community to notify OKIA in any time when they discover such infringed products and/or related invoices and documents. That will help to stem the tide of IPR Infringement against the progress of science and technology for the benefits of our society.
Patents play a vital role in advancing science and technology and in accelerating social progress. But the creation of a patent requires a tremendous amount of effort by innumerable dedicated inventors and other support members. Robbing them of their inventions and fruits of their hard work, the infringers enjoy an ill-gotten and undeserved gain . Is this something our law-abiding citizens can and should tolerate? We are calling on all our friends and fellow citizens to do the right things that we all believe in and talk about. Together we can guard against any IPR infrigement for our own good and strike a heavy blow against those infringers and pirates who are holding back the progress of our society.
Those individuals and groups who copy or use, OKIA's patented HD Technology or in combination with other methods to make, sell or offer to sell any HD product without first getting OKIA's approval in writing, are committing a violation of intellectual property rights. OKIA will, without hesitation, take all necessary actions, including initiating legal proceedings, against the infringers.
"Our resolve to fight counterfeiting - says Jacky Lam, Head of Sales and Marketing - is both strong and necessary to ensure that our customers receive the innovation, originality, reliability and safety that HD promises, a promise that is backed by more than 30 years of expertise in the eyewear sector. The counterfeiters' poor quality is clearly recognizable in patterns to us - and for a new technology that many people have not yet seen, they may assume what they are looking at is the original HD." Mister Lam points out "all the counterfeited products that we have seen were easily blurred or peeled off in materials and textures that quite often are subject to cracking - it is clear that they can't get the same results as OKIA and HD - In many cases counterfeit products throughout could pose even greater risks for consumer - triggering allergies in some users. In addition, a low-quality product may cause damage to the face or lens because it doesn't meet the same quality or safety standards that original products guarantee."
OKIA only uses state-of-the-art technologies and innovative materials to achieve complete customer satisfaction and protect the interest of customers. This way the Company can assure and guarantee patent protection to customers offering at the same time an extremely wide range of pattern in high quality multi colours.
HD is a patented technology owned only by OKIA together with all the other patterns they create meeting all international quality standards. Fast delivery and no set up tooling costs are additional and important benefits customers can rely on.
This innovative product coupled with OKIA's 30+ years experience in the eyewear field has led others to attempt nothing short of copycat of HD technology and concept.
OKIA has encountered numerous products falsely claiming to be made using their technology and for this reason has expressed deep appreciation to their customers for the support given in recognizing the importance of OKIA Intellectual and Industrial Property of HD Technology Acetate.
OKIA, the Intellectual Property (IP) owner of HD technology Acetate, will maintain continuous efforts to take all possible legal actions to enforce our IPRs and to create a safe and secure environment for our customers while using our HD technology or products.
In confirmation of the innovative value of OKIA exclusive HD technology, two of its products have been nominated for Silmo d'Or in 'Accessory' and 'Product Environment' categories.
OKIA is world-wide known for its technological and innovative approach to eyewear. Creativity and authenticity are the keys to OKIA success, not only with consumers but also with the operators in the sector.

Glamour design is inspired by flowers. Floral prints are one of the key print motifs in fashion. It is a trend that never goes away, because it embodies the spirit of femininity.

Glamour is embellished thanks to BMT technique applied to acetate to re-create the metallic and sheen floral patterns on HD acetate. These metallic shapes feature more texture and come up with bright strong floral prints.
Glamour works as both a hair pick for your styling as well as a button for the eyewear pouch. It wishes to target the trendsetting women who concerns about their appearance.
The Capriss Display Set has been selected among others to concur in the 'Product Environment' category. The set is made of several smart tools useful to set up shop-windows or shop-corner: displays, diamond-shaped paper stands, cube press gifts, frame containers, cleaning cloths and white paper boxes.
