Abstract:
An electronic device and a method for manufacturing an outer housing of the electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes an outer housing including a portion including a base including a non-conductive material and a plurality of islands formed on or above the base, wherein the plurality of islands include metallic materials, wherein the plurality of islands are spaced apart from each other, and wherein the plurality of islands form a two-dimensional (2D) pattern. The method includes injection-molding a base and forming a plurality of islands on or above the base, wherein the plurality of islands include metallic materials, and wherein the plurality of islands are spaced apart from each other to form a 2D pattern.
Abstract:
A case frame used in various devices and a method of manufacturing the case frame are provided. The method includes forming the case frame in a shape corresponding to a product to which the case frame is applied, forming a first painting layer with a color of a material applied to a surface of the formed case frame, depositing a transparent oxide deposition layer having a refractive index on an upper portion of the first painting layer, and forming a second painting layer on an upper portion of the transparent oxide deposition layer. Accordingly, the case frame can have an excellent texture by reproducing a brightness and a color anisotropy on the basis of a viewing angle by adding only a simple manufacturing process, thereby being able to improve quality of an electronic device in general and to promote a user's desire for purchasing the device.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a case frame is provided in which a real material is simulated by the manufacturing process from both an appearance and a texture (feel). In the method, a case frame is formed in a shape corresponding to an applied product. A first paint layer is formed using color of a material applied to a surface of the formed case frame. A pattern print layer corresponding to a texture pattern of a relevant material is formed on an upper portion of the first paint layer. A second paint layer is formed such that the first paint layer and a pattern of the pattern print layer are properly expressed that their texture simulates a relevant material. The pattern print layer is further additionally formed on an upper portion of the first paint layer, so that texture of the relevant material can be simulated more realistically.
Abstract:
A cover member and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The cover member includes a case on at least a portion of which a material pattern is formed and a color layer formed on the material pattern provided on the case, in which a portion of the color layer is at least partially marked different from the material pattern.
