The present disclosure relates to the technical field of electronic devices, and more specifically, to a shell assembly and a preparation method therefor, and an electronic device.
In related art, a UV-gel texture layer is usually formed on a PET film by UV transferring, in order to show beautiful textures on the appearance of glass. During long-term use, the PET film is liable to be aged and deformed, which makes the UV-gel texture layer attached on the PET film crack, and the texture effect thereof becomes weak. In order to avoid crack brought by the deformation of the PET, someone raises a means of directly spraying UV gel on an inner surface of glass, then rolling the UV gel by a mold with textures, and performing an ultraviolet exposure to form the UV-gel texture layer. However, the UV-gel texture layer, which is formed on the surface of glass by the exposure means, is liable to arise broken line(s) or bubble(s), thus the yield thereof is low.
Therefore, it is necessary to improve the technology of appearance decoration for the current glass shell.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the shell assembly includes: a glass substrate, the glass substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other. The first surface has first three-dimensional textures, the second surface has second three-dimensional textures. Orthographic projections the first three-dimensional textures in a vertical direction are not fully overlapped with orthographic projections of the second three-dimensional textures in the vertical direction, making lights reflected by the first three-dimensional textures and lights reflected by the second three-dimensional textures interfere with each other to present a Moire texture appearance.
According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the present disclosure provides a preparation method for a shell assembly. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method includes: forming a dry film with preset patterns on two opposite surfaces of a glass, to obtain a to-be-etched glass; immerging the to-be-etched glass into an etching liquid for a preset time to obtain a glass substrate, wherein the glass substrate comprises a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, the first surface has first three-dimensional textures in micron level formed by etching, the second surface has second three-dimensional textures in micron level formed by etching, orthographic projections of the first three-dimensional textures in a vertical direction and orthographic projections of the second three-dimensional textures in the vertical direction are not fully overlapped with each other, making lights reflected by the first three-dimensional textures and lights reflected by the second three-dimensional textures are interfere with each other; and removing the dry film on the glass substrate to present a Moire texture appearance.

The present disclosure is described below in detail. The embodiments described below are exemplary only to explain the present disclosure, and not to be understood as a limitation to the present disclosure. The embodiments without any indication of detailed technologies or conditions, technologies or conditions described in the documentation in the field or description of the product are followed to operate. Used reagents or instruments without manufacturer are all common products obtained from markets.
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the present disclosure provides a shell assembly. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to
In detail, according to the interference principal, the interference is a phenomena of forming new waves by spatially overlaying two or more columns of waves. For the shell assembly of the present disclosure, when lights are incident on the three-dimensional textures of the shell assembly, reflected lights at different positions may have light distances different from each other since the three-dimensional textures cause the surface uneven. Thus, the reflected lights will interfere with each other. Therefore, the reflected lights at different positions of the surface with the first three-dimensional textures will interfere with each other, and the reflected lights at different positions of the surface with the second three-dimensional textures will also interfere with each other. Meanwhile, the reflected lights reflected by the first three-dimensional textures and the reflected lights reflected by the second three-dimensional textures will interfere with each other. Under the interference effect of the double layer three-dimensional textures, an outer surface of the shell may present bright and dark strips produced by interference, that is, Moire textures, which form a special appearance effect. The detailed shapes and arranging ways of the Moire textures may be adjusted according to the shapes and arranging ways of the first three-dimensional textures and the second three-dimensional textures.
It is to be noted that, “first three-dimensional textures in micron level” and “second three-dimensional textures in micron level” mean that the line widths and line distances of the first three-dimensional textures and the second three-dimensional textures are both in the micron level, that is, in the range of 1 to 1000 microns. If the line widths and line distances are too small, it is not easy to process on one hand, and on the other hand, the light-split phenomena may occur when the lights are incident on the textures with too small size, therefore it is unable to show the Moire texture appearance under the condition of the textures in micron level. However, the interference condition could not be satisfied if the line widths and line distances are oversized, thereby not arising the Moire texture appearance.
In some embodiments, the glass substrate may be any glass suitable for the shell assembly of the electronic device. The glass, for example, may be silicate glass (specifically such as, quartz glass, high silica glass, calcium sodium glass, aluminosilicate glass, borosilicate glass, etc.), borate glass, phosphate glass, etc. The thickness of the glass substrate may be 0.5-8 mm, specifically such as 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, etc. Besides, a detailed structure of the glass substrate may also be adopted according to an actual need. For example, the glass substrate may be planar glass, 2.5D glass, or 3D glass.
In some specific embodiments, referring to
According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, detailed shapes, distribution locations, and sizes of the first three-dimensional textures and the second three-dimensional textures may be adjusted according to the desired appearance effect. In some specific embodiments, the line widths d1 of the first three-dimensional textures 110 (i.e. widths of the three-dimensional textures) and line widths d2 of the second three-dimensional textures 120 are 1-100 micron(s) respectively (in specific, the values may be 100 microns, 80 microns, 50 microns, 40 microns, 30 microns, 20 microns, 15 microns, 10 microns, 9 microns, 8 microns, 7 microns, 6 microns, 5 microns, 4 microns, 3 microns, 2 microns, 1 micron, or the like). In some specific embodiments, line distances w1 of the first three-dimensional textures 110 and line distances w2 of the second three-dimensional textures 120 are 1-150 micron(s) (in specific, the values may be 150 microns, 140 microns, 130 microns, 120 microns, 110 microns, 100 microns, 50 microns, 20 microns, 10 microns, 5 microns, 1 micron, or the like). In some specific embodiment, texture depths h1 of the first three-dimensional textures 110 and texture depths h2 of the second three-dimensional textures 120 are 1-100 micron(s) respectively (in specific, the values may be 100 microns, 80 microns, 50 microns, 40 microns, 30 microns, 20 microns, 15 microns, 10 microns, 9 microns, 8 microns, 7 microns, 6 microns, 5 microns, 4 microns, 3 microns, 2 microns, 1 micron, or the like). In the above ranges of line widths, line distances and depths, the double layer three-dimensional textures may make the reflected lights interfere with each other, so as to render the special Moire texture appearance, with more tridimensional and splendid appearance, and better decoration effect.
In some specific embodiments, shapes of the orthographic projections of the first three-dimensional textures 110 and the second three-dimensional textures 120 in the vertical direction are independent from each other, and may be any one of geometric shapes or irregular shapes. In detail, the geometric shapes may include at least one of circle (referring to
In some specific embodiments, the orthographic projections of the first three-dimensional textures and the orthographic projections of the second three-dimensional textures are not totally overlapped. In specific, the first three-dimensional textures and the second three-dimensional textures may be different from each other in shape, size, or arrangement manner. For example, the first three-dimensional textures are a plurality of parallel strip textures, and the second three-dimensional textures are a plurality of dot textures arranged in an array; alternatively, the first three-dimensional textures and the second three-dimensional textures are both a plurality of parallel strip textures, but with different line widths and different line distances; alternatively, the first three-dimensional textures and the second three-dimensional textures are both a plurality of parallel strip textures in shape and size, however, they intersect with each other, for example perpendicular to each other, or crossed with an angle of 45 degrees, etc.
In some embodiments, referring to
In some specific embodiments, the coating layer may be of single-layer structure, and also may be of multi-layer structure. In some specific embodiments, the material of the coating layer may be at least one of silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, niobium pentoxide. For example, the material of the coating layer may be multi-layer structure with titanium dioxide and silicon dioxide alternatively disposed. The cover-bottom ink layer may be an ink layer with a preset color. In some specific embodiments, the cover-bottom ink layer may be a black ink layer, to achieve a better shading effect, and a better-looking appearance effect. In specific, the cover-bottom ink layer may be of sing-layer structure, and also may be of multi-layer structure. The specific ingredient and thickness of each ink layer may be same or different with each other. For example, the specific ingredient of the ink may be common ink used in the shell assembly of the electronic device, and the thickness thereof may be 10-15 microns. When the cover-bottom ink layer is of multi-layer structure, it may be formed by coating the same ink repeatedly, specifically, it may be formed by coating the ink for 2-3 times, with the thickness of 3-5 microns for each coating.
In some specific embodiments, the coating layer and the glass substrate have different refractive indexes. Therefore, it may achieve a clearer border between the glass substrate and the coating layer, a stronger texture effect, and a better optical interference effect generated by the double layer three-dimensional textures, thereby obtaining a more splendid and stereoscopic appearance effect. It may be understood that, the larger the difference value between the refractive indexes of the coating layer and the glass substrate, the clearer the border between the coating layer and the glass substrate and the stronger the interference effect generated by the double layer three-dimensional textures. In some embodiments, the difference value between the refractive indexes of the coating layer and the glass substrate may be equal to or greater than 0.5, for example, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1 etc. Therefore, the appearance effect of the shell assembly is more splendid and stereoscopic, and the decoration effect is better.
According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the present disclosure provides a preparation method for a shell assembly. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the method includes: forming a dry film with preset patterns on two opposite surfaces of a glass, to obtain a to-be-etched glass; immerging the to-be-etched glass into an etching liquid for a preset time to obtain a glass substrate, the glass substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, the first surface having the first three-dimensional textures in micron level formed by etching, the second surface having the second three-dimensional textures in micron level formed by etching, the orthographic projection of the first three-dimensional textures in the vertical direction and the orthographic projection of the second three-dimensional textures in the vertical direction being not totally overlapped with each other, and lights reflected by the first three-dimensional textures and lights reflected by the second three-dimensional textures interfering with each other; and removing the dry film on the glass substrate. By this method, the shell assembly with the double layer three-dimensional textures may be manufactured and obtained fast and efficiently. The manufacturing process is simple, the operation is easy, and the production yield is high. In addition, the obtained shell assembly may form a special Moire texture appearance, which renders more dazzle and stereoscopic appearance decoration effect. In the mean time, it's not easy to deform during long-time use. It may be understood that this method may be used to manufacture the foregoing shell assembly.
In some specific embodiments, forming a dry film with preset patterns on two opposite surfaces of a glass may include: providing a whole layer of dry film, overlapping the whole layer of dry film with a film roll with preset patterns, and exposing and developing them, to obtain exposure areas and unexposed areas; removing the non-exposure areas of the dry film, to obtain the dry film with the preset patterns; and attaching the dry film with the preset patterns on the two opposite surfaces of the glass. It may be understood that, the whole layer of dry film is formed on two opposite surfaces of the glass before the whole layer of dry film is overlapped with the film roll. In specific, the dry film may be formed by spraying directly on the surfaces of the glass; also the dry film may be pre-manufactured and further attached to the surfaces of the glass. In some embodiments, the film roll may be overlapped with the whole layer of dry film to form an overlapped product, then the overlapped product is attached to two opposite surfaces on the glass, and then exposure and other subsequent operations are performed. The film roll with preset patterns may be manufactured by configuring a layout on computer, so the film roll with preset patterns has fine textures. It is to be noted that, the dry film on two opposite surfaces of the glass have different preset patterns, in order to guarantee the interference effect of the double layer three-dimensional textures.
It may be understood that the dry film mainly has the function of protecting glass, in specific, the dry film may protect a portion of the glass covered thereby from being etched in the subsequent operations. The dry film may resist attack of the etching liquid for a long time without being peeled off or melted. According to the forgoing usage requirement, the dry film may be a photosensitive acid-resistant film. Specifically, the dry film may be a polymer thin film, may be made of polyimide, liquid crystal polymer or polyethylene naphthalate thin film, which may perform cross-linking and curing when exposed to ultraviolet lights. After being covered with the film roll, the dry film may be further exposed directly to the ultraviolet lights. A portion of the dry film exposed to the lights is cured, and other portions of the dry film which are not exposed to the lights are not cured. The photosensitive film which is not cured may be removed by developing. For example, a flat spray line may be used for developing, to remove the non-exposure area of the dry film. The developing liquid may be a sodium carbonate solution with a mass concentration of 0.5% to 1%, so as to form preset patterns on the dry film corresponding to the film roll with preset patterns.
In some specific embodiments, after the dry film with preset patterns is formed on the glass, the to-be-etched glass may be immerged into the etching liquid to be etched, so as to form the three-dimensional textures at a position not covered by the dry film. In specific, the etching liquid adopted may be a hydrofluoric solution with a mass concentration of 5% to 10%. Therefore, the etching speed is fast, the etching accuracy is good, the obtained three-dimensional textures have smooth surfaces and high accuracy, and an appearance effect of the shell assembly is better. It could be understood that the etching period may be adjusted according to the sizes of the three-dimensional textures, the etching speed of the etching liquid, and the like. In some specific embodiments, the etching period (i.e. the foregoing preset time) may be 1-10 minutes, specifically such as 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 4 minutes, 5 minutes, 6 minutes, 7 minutes, 8 minutes, 9 minutes, 10 minutes, or the like.
In some specific embodiments, the glass substrate may be cleaned after etching, to remove the etching liquid left on the surfaces of the glass. In specific, water may be adopted to clean the glass substrate, or ultrasonic cleaning may be adopted to clean the glass substrate. Then the cleaned glass substrate is dried for convenience of further operations.
In some specific embodiments, the operation of removing the dry film with preset patterns from the glass substrate is not specially limited, as long as the dry film can be effectively removed, and the glass substrate would not be damaged. In some specific embodiments, de-plating technology may be adopted to remove the dry film with preset patterns. The specific process and parameters may refer to the conventional technology, which is not described here in detail.
In some specific embodiments, the method further includes: forming a coating layer on the first surface; and forming a cover-bottom ink layer on a surface of the coating layer far away from the glass substrate.
In specific, the coating layer may be formed by a method of physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, or the like. The cover-bottom ink layer may be formed by a process such as screen printing, coating, printing, presswork, or the like. The detailed operations and parameters may refer to the conventional technology, which will not be described herein.
