Abstract:
An electronic device housing includes a plastic substrate. The plastic substrate includes a first surface. The electronic device housing further includes an activating layer formed on the first surface. The activating layer contains metal powder. The activating layer defines a recessed portion. Some of the metal powder is partially exposed on the surface of the recessed portion. Some of metal powder is partially inserted into the plastic substrate corresponding to the recessed portion. The electronic device housing further includes an antenna layer formed on the recessed portion. The antenna layer is a metal layer. A method for manufacturing the electronic device housing is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method for forming pattern on substrate comprises steps of: providing a metal substrate; amorphousizing the metal substrate to from an amorphous pattern layer in the metal substrate; etching the metal substrate and forming an etching portion in the surface of the metal substrate which is not covered with the amorphous pattern layer. The article manufactured by the method is also provided.

Abstract:
A method for making patterns on a metal article comprises providing a metal substrate having an outer surface. A light-absorbing coating is formed on selected regions of the outer surface to reduce the surface laser reflectivity of the metal substrate. The selected regions cooperatively have a shape of a desired pattern. The selected regions are treated by laser-quenching, thereby hardening the selected regions. The outer surface is sandblasted, enabling the outer surface besides the selected regions to have a greater surface roughness than the selected regions. A metal article made by the method is also provided.
Abstract:
A device housing includes a stainless steel substrate having a first metallic coating and a second metallic coating formed thereon and in that order. The stainless steel substrate has at least one recess defined in an outer surface. The first metallic coating and a second metallic coating have different colors. The first metallic coating is left exposed in the recesses but covered elsewhere by the second metallic coating to form a desired symbol, logo, or pattern on the device housing. A method for making the present device housing also is provided.
Abstract:
A housing includes a hollow sleeve, a top wall, and a cover. The top wall is integrally formed with the hollow sleeve. The top wall seals an end of the hollow sleeve to define a receiving chamber. An open end is formed at an opposite end of the top wall. The open end communicates with the receiving chamber. The hollow sleeve and the top wall include a transparent first molded article, a decorative layer, and a transparent second molded article. The decorative layer partially is formed on the transparent first molded article, and a transparent display window of the transparent first molded article is exposed from the decorative layer. The transparent second molded article is formed on the decorative layer and the transparent display window. The cover seals the open end. The present disclosure further discloses a method for making the housing.
Abstract:
A positioning mechanism (24) for use in a mold structure (100) to position a film (30) within the mold structure is provided. The mold structure includes a core mold portion (10) and a cavity mold portion (20) mating with the core mold portion. The core mold portion includes a core plate (12) and a core insert (14) formed on the plate. The cavity mold portion includes a positioning mechanism having a moveable cavity insert (242) and an elastic member (244) for outwardly biasing the cavity insert.
Abstract:
A lens cover slidably mounted to a lens comprises a main body and two guide plates protruding from opposite sides of the main body. Each guide plate has a plurality of contact portions. Each contact portion includes a plurality of projection strips protruding from a surface thereof and facing the lens.

Abstract:
A method for strengthening a housing comprises the following steps: providing a housing being made of colored glaze and having an initial temperature of about 480° C. to about 550° C.; and spraying the surface of the housing using a spray solution containing potassium nitrate, potassium silicate, diatomite, and water to create an exterior layer on the surface. The exterior layer contains K+ ions, and the concentration of the K+ ions gradually decreases from a maximum value in the area of the outside surface of the exterior layer to zero in the area of the inside of the housing.
