Colored glass casing

Abstract

Provided is a colored glass casing having favorable characteristics as a casing of an electronic apparatus, namely having superior production cost, high strength, and light blocking properties. The colored glass casing clads an electronic apparatus, and is configured from a glass having a light absorption at the wavelengths of 380 nm to 780 nm of at least 0.7, preferably a glass having a light absorption coefficient of at least 1 mm-1. To result in the abovementioned glass, preferably 0.1-7% in mole percent on an oxide basis of at least one component selected from the group consisting of the metal oxides of Co, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Cr, V, and Bi is contained as the coloring component in the glass.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a colored glass housing used in electronic equipment, such as communication equipment, information equipment, and the like that can be used in a portable manner. Background technique [0002] Considering various factors such as decorativeness, damage resistance, processability, and cost, the casings of electronic devices such as mobile phones are selected from materials such as resin and metal, and used. [0003] In recent years, attempts have been made to use unused glass as a raw material of the housing (Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2). According to Patent Document 1, in electronic devices such as mobile phones, by forming the main body of the housing with glass, a unique decorative effect with a sense of transparency can be exhibited. In addition, according to Patent Document 2, it is disclosed that the glass plates on the inner sides of the main body case and the rear cover of the mobile phone are not transpa...
