Unanswered Questions
How does the modified glass-based material contribute to the structural color of the enclosure component?
The patent application does not delve into the specific chemical or physical properties of the modified glass-based material and how it interacts with light to produce the structural color effect.
Are there any limitations to the use of structurally colored enclosure components in electronic devices?
The patent application does not address any potential drawbacks or limitations of implementing structurally colored enclosure components in electronic devices, such as cost implications or durability issues.
Original Abstract Submitted
A structurally colored enclosure component for an electronic device is disclosed. The structurally colored enclosure component may be a cover member for the electronic device and in some cases may display iridescence. A surface region of the enclosure component may include a modified glass-based material and the structural color of the enclosure component may be due at least in part to the surface region. Enclosures and electronic devices including the structurally colored enclosure components are also described herein,
