HONG KONG, July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Biel Crystal Holding Limited (Biel Crystal) has been awarded the prestigious honorary title “Red Dot: Product Design of the Year” for 2026 at the internationally renowned Red Dot Design Award competition organized by Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen in Germany. This award is used to recognize outstanding design products that have proved themselves through consistently innovative, top-class design quality and have set the highest standards of design excellence.
BIEL Crystal’s Award-Winning Designs
BIEL Crystal’s award-winning design is the “Witch Cloak” Ultra-Hard Coating, a smartphone glass cover technology developed in partnership with Honor Device Co., Ltd. This breakthrough cover glass is now featured on Honor’s latest Magic V5 foldable smartphone.
“Witch Cloak” Ultra-Hard Coating, by virtue of its exclusive 4,000-layer structure, achieves a comprehensive upgrade across 6 key dimensions (impact resistance/scratch resistance/wear resistance/fingerprint resistance/slimness/smoothness).
Employing ultra-hard layers, the product boasts a Mohs hardness of over 7, offering impact/scratch resistance 10 times greater than that of its traditional counterparts—easily tackling daily impact and wear. It also incorporates multiple anti-reflective layers, improving light transmittance while reducing light reflectivity to minimize glare for high clarity even under strong light. A durable anti-fingerprint layer can withstand 15,000 friction cycles—3 times the industry standard—efficiently resisting fingerprints and oil stains to maintain a clean screen over time. Additionally, the application of nano-level polishing technology results in a friction coefficient of just 0.02, thereby facilitating smooth operation.
