ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING HOUSING COMPRISING METAL MATERIAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18086895 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING HOUSING COMPRISING METAL MATERIAL
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device with a cover glass seated on a housing. The housing includes a metal frame with a seating surface for the cover glass. The metal frame has two regions - a first region forming part of the side surface of the device and a second region where the cover glass is attached.
- The metal frame of the housing is made of a metal material.
- The first region of the metal frame, which forms part of the side surface of the device, has an anodizing layer that includes nickel (Ni).
- The second region of the metal frame, where the cover glass is attached, has an anodizing layer that does not include nickel.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Electronic devices with cover glass, such as smartphones, tablets, or smartwatches.
- Any device that requires a housing with a cover glass.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a seating surface for the cover glass on the metal frame of the housing.
- Allows for different anodizing layers in different regions of the metal frame.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved durability and protection for the cover glass.
- Enhanced aesthetic appeal with different anodizing layers in different regions.
- Simplified manufacturing process for electronic devices with cover glass.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device according to an embodiment may include cover glass and a housing on which the cover glass is seated. The housing includes a metal frame comprising a metal material, and on the metal frame, a seating surface for mounting the cover glass may be formed. The metal frame may include: a first region forming at least a portion of a side surface of the electronic device; and a second region to which the cover glass is attached, wherein an anodizing layer including nickel (Ni) may be arranged in the first region, and an anodizing layer that does not include nickel may be arranged in the second region.
