Fingerprints and dirt are the worldwide problems faced by the end product housings such as the front screen cover plate and the rear cover plate of a mobile phone.

Still further, the area proportion of the plurality of convexes or the area proportion of the areas other than the plurality of concaves on the first surface is greater than or equal to 1/10 and less than or equal to 1/2.
To achieve a better anti-fingerprint effect, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the gap between any two adjacent convexes is greater than 1/2 of the distance between the boundaries. The gap between any two adjacent concaves is less than or equal to 1/2 of the distance between the boundaries.

The material of the housing substrate is glass, plastic or metal. The terminal housing may be a planar housing or a curved housing.
According to the anti-fingerprint terminal housing provided in the first aspect in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the micro-nano-level convex or concave structure on the surface of the anti-fingerprint terminal housing is formed by the housing substrate and has a specific size design, so that the surface of the terminal housing has high mechanical strength and excellent wear resistance performance while featuring excellent anti-fouling performance and anti-fingerprint performance, low friction coefficient, high light transmittance, and low haze, thereby greatly improving user experience.
According to a second aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a terminal, where the terminal includes a housing, and a display module and an electronic component module that are housed in the housing, the display module is electrically connected to the electronic component module, and the housing includes the anti-fingerprint terminal housing according to the first aspect of the present disclosure.
The following describes the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
Currently, glass is widely used in electronic communications products such as mobile phones, for example, used as a front cover plate or a rear cover plate of a mobile phone. However, these products cannot avoid generation of fingerprints and dirt during use, thereby affecting user experience. To resolve the problems of fingerprints and dirt residues, it is common in the industry to provide an anti-fingerprint coating film on a glass surface, but the method cannot fundamentally resolve the problems of fingerprints and dirt residues.
To fundamentally resolve the problems of fingerprints and dirt residues on a conventional housing surface that is made of glass or the like, and to obtain housing surface that is of a micro-nano structure and that has high light transmittance, low haze, and high wear resistance so as to improve user experience, as shown in
In another implementation of the present disclosure, the first surface 101 is provided with a plurality of spaced convexes formed by the housing substrate 10, the distance between the boundaries of any two adjacent convexes on the same side is in the range of 1-900 nm, and the height of the convexes is in the range of 1-400 nm.
According to the anti-fingerprint terminal housing provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the presence of a convex or concave structure of a specific size can change the hydrophilicity and lipophilicity of the surface of the housing, so that the housing has excellent anti-fouling and anti-fingerprint effects. In addition, the convex or concave structure is formed by the housing substrate, so that the convex or concave structure has high mechanical strength and excellent wear resistance performance, and can ensure that the surface of the housing still has excellent anti-fouling and anti-fingerprint effects after long-time use. Further, the shape and size of the convex or concave structure can be controlled using an etching process during preparation, to eliminate or reduce scattering, diffraction/interference, and the like caused by light on the convex or concave structure, thereby ensuring that a housing with high light transmittance and low haze is obtained to meet a user's use requirement.
In this implementation of the present disclosure, the convex or concave structure is a micro mechanism structure that is invisible to naked eyes.
As shown in
In an implementation of the present disclosure, optionally, the distance between the boundaries of any two adjacent convexes or concaves on the same side is in the range of 1-400 nm. Further, the distance between the boundaries of any two adjacent convexes or concaves on the same side is in the range of 100-300 nm or 150-350 nm. Still further, the distance between the boundaries of any two adjacent convexes or concaves on the same side is in the range of 150-250 nm.
In another implementation of the present disclosure, optionally, the distance between the boundaries of any two adjacent convexes or concaves on the same side is in the range greater than 400 nm and less than or equal to 900 nm. Further, the distance between the boundaries of any two adjacent convexes or concaves on the same side is in the range of 500-800 nm.
In this implementation of the present disclosure, the foregoing distance between the boundaries determines the sizes of the convexes or concaves, thereby directly affecting various properties of the surface of the housing. An appropriate size setting ensures an excellent anti-fingerprint effect and excellent optical effects such as high transmittance and low haze. When the foregoing distance increases, optical properties (such as haze and visible light transmittance) of the housing are relatively reduced. When the foregoing distance decreases, the production process becomes more difficulty.
In this implementation of the present disclosure, optionally, the height of the convex is in the range of 50-200 nm, and the depth of the concave is in the range of 50-200 nm. In another implementation of the present disclosure, optionally, the height of the convex is in the range of 100-300 nm, and the depth of the concave is in the range of 100-300 nm. Further, the height of the convex is in the range of 200-300 nm, and the depth of the concave is in the range of 200-300 nm.
In this implementation of the present disclosure, if the convex is higher and the concave is deeper, the optical properties (such as haze and visible light transmittance) of the housing are better.
In practical application, the shape and size of the convex or concave can be controllably adjusted in the foregoing size range in the embodiments of the present disclosure based on the requirements of a specific product for properties such as haze and visible light transmittance.
To obtain a housing surface having a larger water contact angle, in this implementation of the present disclosure, the area proportion of the plurality of convexes or the area proportion of the areas other than the plurality of concaves on the first surface is less than or equal to 2/3. Further, the area proportion of the plurality of convexes or the area proportion of the areas other than the plurality of concaves on the first surface is less than or equal to 1/2. Still further, the area proportion of the plurality of convexes or the area proportion of the areas other than the plurality of concaves on the first surface is greater than or equal to 1/10 and less than or equal to 1/2. The smaller the area of the convex part (that is, the part directly accessible to the user) on the first surface, the anti-fingerprint effect can be improved more significantly, but the mechanical strength of the surface of the housing decreases accordingly. Therefore, the area of the convex part can be set by comprehensively considering the foregoing impact and based on actual needs.
To achieve a better anti-fingerprint effect, in this implementation of the present disclosure, the gap between any two adjacent convexes is greater than 1/2 of the distance between the boundaries. The gap between any two adjacent concaves is less than or equal to 1/2 of the distance between the boundaries.
In this implementation of the present disclosure, the arrangement of the convexes or concaves is not limited, and a plurality of convexes or concaves can be arranged in an ordered or disordered manner on the housing substrate, and the plurality of convexes or concaves are arranged in a one-dimensional or two-dimensional direction on the first surface. The ordered arrangement may be a periodic arrangement, and when a plurality of convexes or concaves are arranged periodically, the distance between the boundaries of any two adjacent convexes or concaves on the same side is the period. Optionally, the period is in the range of 1-900 nm. Optionally, the period is in the range of 1-400 nm. Further, the period is in the range of 100-300 nm or 150-250 nm. Optionally, the period is in the range greater than 400 nm and less than or equal to 900 nm. Further, the period is in the range of 500-800 nm.
In this implementation of the present disclosure, the convex or concave is a three-dimensional pattern, and a specific shape of the convex or concave is not limited. For example, the convex or concave may be hemispherical, ellipsoidal, columnar, or a linear concave or convex. A specific cross-sectional shape of the columnar convex or concave is not particularly limited, and may be a geometric shape or a non-geometric shape, for example, a square shape, a diamond shape, a polygon shape, a pentagram shape, or a flower shape
In a specific implementation of the present disclosure, the first surface is provided with a convex, more particularly, a columnar convex array. In another specific implementation of the present disclosure, the convex or concave structure is a concave array, more particularly, a hole array.
In this implementation of the present disclosure, the plurality of convexes or concaves may be of the same structural shape and the same size, or may be of different structural shapes and different sizes. To simplify the production process, the plurality of convexes or concaves may be of the same shape and the same size and arranged in an array on the housing substrate.
In this implementation of the present disclosure, the anti-fingerprint terminal housing has excellent optical properties. The visible light transmittance of the anti-fingerprint terminal housing is greater than 80%, and the visible light transmittance of most samples is greater than 90%. Haze of the anti-fingerprint terminal housing is less than 5%; and further, haze of the anti-fingerprint terminal housing is less than 1%, and the haze of most samples is less than 0.1%. It can be seen that the arrangement of the convex or concave structure in this implementation of the present disclosure does not greatly reduce the visible light transmittance of the housing, and the haze of the product in this embodiment of the present disclosure is controlled to be within a small range while ensuring an excellent anti-fingerprint effect, thereby ensuring the application requirement of the product on a terminal product and improving user experience.
In this implementation of the present disclosure, based on a specific convex or concave structure design, the water contact angle of the first surface is greater than or equal to 110°, and further, the water contact angle is greater than or equal to 120°, where the maximum contact angle may be greater than or equal to 150°, so that the terminal housing has excellent hydrophobicity.
In this implementation of the present disclosure, the material of the housing substrate may be glass, plastic, metal, or other useful terminal housing material. The terminal housing may be a planar housing or a curved housing. The thickness of the housing substrate is not particularly limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure, and may depend on a specific product, for example, may be 0.5-0.7 millimeters (mm).
In this implementation of the present disclosure, to further enhance the anti-fouling and anti-fingerprint effects of the terminal housing, the first surface is further provided with an anti-fingerprint coating, the anti-fingerprint coating completely covers the first surface and completely covers the surfaces of the plurality of convexes or concaves, and the material of the anti-fingerprint coating includes at least one of fluorosilane, alkylsiloxane, or tetrafluoropolyether. By combining the anti-fingerprint coating and the convex or concave structure, a better anti-fingerprint effect can be achieved. There is no conflict between the two processes, and because of the presence of the convex or concave structure on the surface of the housing substrate, the contact area between the anti-fingerprint coating and the housing substrate is increased, so that the anti-fingerprint coating is more tightly combined with the convex or concave structure.
In this implementation of the present disclosure, the terminal housing may be a housing, a display screen cover plate, a rear cover plate, or the like of various terminal products, for example, may be a front screen cover plate or a rear cover plate of a mobile phone.
