METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ALUMINIUM ALLOY SHEET AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17876477 titled 'METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ALUMINIUM ALLOY SHEET AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SAME

Simplified Explanation

An electronic device described in this patent application includes a display and a housing made of an aluminum alloy. The housing has a designated shape and is coated with two film layers.

  • The first film layer is formed on the aluminum alloy using a process called anodizing, which involves applying a specific voltage to the alloy.
  • The second film layer is formed between the aluminum alloy and the first film layer using a different voltage in a separate anodizing process.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be used in the manufacturing of electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other consumer electronics.
  • It can also be applied to other products that require a lightweight and durable housing, such as cameras, smartwatches, and portable gaming devices.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The use of an aluminum alloy housing provides a lightweight yet strong structure for the electronic device, making it more portable and resistant to damage.
  • The anodizing process and the formation of multiple film layers enhance the durability and corrosion resistance of the housing, extending the lifespan of the device.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The aluminum alloy housing with the two film layers provides a visually appealing and sleek design for the electronic device.
  • The anodizing process improves the scratch resistance of the housing, ensuring that it maintains its appearance over time.
  • The corrosion resistance of the housing protects the internal components of the device from environmental factors, increasing its reliability and longevity.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device according to various embodiments of the disclosure may include: a display; and a housing including the display, at least a portion of the housing including: an aluminum alloy machined to have a designated shape; a first film layer formed on the aluminum alloy; and a second film layer formed between the aluminum alloy and the first film layer, wherein the first film layer may be formed by a first anodizing process using a first voltage on the aluminum alloy, and the second film layer may be formed by a second anodizing process using a second voltage on the aluminum alloy after the first anodizing process.
