Abstract:
Disclosed is a case including an injection preform (210, 310, 410) having a recess (111a) on at least one portion of a surface thereof, a deposition layer (120) deposited on a surface of the injection preform, and a paint layer (130) formed on the deposition layer. The deposition layer may directly contact a surface of the injection preform. A method of manufacturing a case includes injection-molding an injection preform having a recess on a surface thereof, forming a deposition layer directly contacting a suface of the injection preform, and forming a paint layer on the deposition layer.
Abstract:
The invention is based on a decoration device comprising at least one main body unit (12a; 12b; 12c; 12d), which has at least one transparent main body whole element (14a; 14b; 14c; 14d) intended for being provided with an internal engraving (16a; 16b; 16c; 16d), and comprising at least one illumination unit (18a; 18b; 18c; 18d) for illuminating the internal engraving (16a; 16b; 16c; 16d). It is proposed that the decoration device comprises at least one storage unit (20a; 20b; 20c; 20d) for storing electronic data.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a casing of a handheld electronic device includes following steps. A casing body and an oxidation metal layer are provided. The casing body is made of metal; the oxidation metal layer is located on a surface of the casing body. The oxidation metal layer is dyed by at least one dye and has an appearance with a color gradient through controlling the velocity of dyeing the oxidation metal layer by the dye. A casing of a handheld electronic device including a casing body and an oxidation metal layer is also provided. The casing body is made of metal. The oxidation metal layer is located on a surface of the casing body and dyed by at least one dye, so that an appearance of the oxidation metal layer has a color gradient.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for the customization of electronic equipment of which portable audio players, portable disc players (501), portable digital games (401) and laptop computers (1001) are representative. The electronic equipment may be fitted with a substantially transparent faceplate (401) and may cover removable inserts (301). These inserts (301) may be customizable to provide unique decorative appearances to the electronic equipment upon which they may be fitted. Decorative designs may either be preprinted on the inserts (301) or a user may produce a customized design.
Abstract:
A shell for an electronic device comprising a shell body (1), a pattern layer (2) on the outer surface of the shell body (1) and a transparent protective layer (3) on the pattern layer (2) is provided, wherein the pattern layer (2) can be formed by curable material. Furthermore, a method for manufacturing the shell (1) and an electronic device with the shell (1) are provided. The shell (1) has fine patterns and stereo vision effect; meanwhile, it has better wear resistance.
Abstract:
A decorative plate for a casing is attached to a casing 1a or 1b, and utilized. The decorative plate is configured by a plate-shaped transparent base member 11, a color half mirror layer 12, placed on the lower face of the transparent base member, that is made of a metal thin film subjected to a tint treatment, a transparency-switching film 13, formed on the lower face of the color half mirror layer 12, that is capable of switching between transmitting and non-transmitting states, a transparent reflection-increasing film layer 20, placed on the lower face of the transparency-switching film 13, that is a composite film formed by alternately laminating a high refractive-index film and a low refractive-index film, and a backing layer 14 that is formed on the lower face of the reflection-increasing film layer 20 in a tightly contact state without having an air layer interposed therebetween, which are successively laminated.
Abstract:
A housing, comprising: a transparent substrate; a decorative coating formed on one surface of the substrate, the decorative coating having a pattern defined therethrough; a protective coating formed on the decorative coating; and a colorized ink coating formed on the other surface of the substrate opposite to the decorative coating and visible through the pattern in the decorative coating. A method for making the housing is also described.
