[0043] Example 1

[0044] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, Embodiment 1 of the present application provides a housing, comprising:

[0045] A panel 100, wherein the panel 100 has a first area 1 and a second area 2 for input, wherein the first area 1 and the second area 2 are integrally formed;

[0046] The panel 100 is provided with a glass layer 4 and a membrane layer 5 along a first direction A, and a first surface of the glass layer 4 is bonded to a first surface of the membrane layer 5 .

[0047] Specifically, the panel 100 can prevent the components inside the electronic device from being affected by the external environment (such as dust, moisture, impact, etc.), ensure the stable operation of the electronic device, and extend the service life of the electronic device. The first area 1 can be a touch area, which is used for users to input information and realize operation control; the second area 2 can be a palm rest area, and the second area 2 can also be a frame area including the palm rest area, which can be used to improve the comfort and stability of the user; or, the second area 2 can also be another touch area to realize a dual touch area, or a large range of touch areas to improve work efficiency, meet the needs of different user groups, and provide a richer and more flexible interactive experience. The integrated design of the first area 1 and the second area 2 makes the overall structure of the shell more stable and improves the mechanical strength and durability of the shell.

[0048] The glass layer 4 has good capacitive sensing characteristics, can accurately identify and respond to user operations, and provide a precise and sensitive touch experience. The glass layer 4 can be at least one tempered glass to improve the strength and impact resistance of the glass layer 4 and improve the safety of the electronic device. If one-time tempered glass is used, the size of the glass layer 4 along the first direction A (i.e., the thickness of the one-time tempered glass) is at least 0.7 mm; if two-time tempered glass is used, the size of the glass layer 4 along the first direction A (i.e., the thickness of the two-time tempered glass) is at least 0.5 mm to ensure the strength of the glass layer 4, while ensuring its mechanical properties such as impact resistance and pressure resistance.

[0049] The diaphragm layer 5 improves the strength and durability of the shell. Since the diaphragm layer 5 has a certain toughness, it can play a role in buffering and dispersing pressure when it is impacted by external force, thereby reducing the impact force directly transmitted to the glass layer 4 and internal components. In addition, the diaphragm layer 5 and the glass layer 4 are bonded and bonded to form a more stable overall structure. This overall structure can reduce the risk of shell deformation or cracking caused by material separation or loosening, and enhance the structural stability of the shell. The diaphragm layer 5 can be selected from polyethylene terephthalate diaphragms, polycarbonate diaphragms, or epoxy resin diaphragms.

[0050] The film layer 5 and the glass layer 4 are bonded together by adhesive to keep them stable during use and prevent them from being easily separated or loosened. This stable connection can improve the overall structural strength and durability of the housing. The adhesive bonding can also effectively disperse and balance the stress between the film layer 5 and the glass layer 4, thereby limiting the deformation and tension of the glass layer 4. The adhesive for bonding can be optical adhesive, epoxy resin adhesive or organic silicone adhesive, among which optical adhesive with high transparency, low refractive index, low absorption rate and good light transmission performance is preferred.

[0051] The shell provided in the present application integrates the first area 1 and the second area 2 of the panel 100 to make the structure of the entire shell more stable; the glass layer 4 is capable of accurately identifying and responding to user operations, providing a precise and sensitive touch experience, and the membrane layer 5 and the glass layer 4 are bonded together by optical adhesive to form a tight and transparent composite structure, which effectively limits the deformation and tension of the glass layer 4, improves the overall structural strength and durability of the shell, and provides users with a more reliable, stable and safe electronic product shell.

[0052] Preferably, the glass layer 4 has a second surface processed by a first process to form a first appearance effect (not shown in the figure), and the second surface of the glass layer 4 is opposite to the first surface of the glass layer 4.

[0053] Specifically, the entire second surface of the glass layer 4 has the first appearance effect; or, part of the second surface of the glass layer 4 has the first appearance effect. For example, when the panel 100 is entirely a touch area, the entire second surface can be processed by a first process to have the first appearance effect. In this case, the first process can be frosting, laser processing, chemical etching, or mechanical engraving, etc. In this case, the first appearance effect can be a specific pattern or texture to increase the friction of the second surface, improve the stability and accuracy of user operations, and enhance user experience; or,

[0054] When the panel 100 has a palm rest area, whether to perform the first process treatment on the palm rest area can be flexibly designed according to the actual needs of users and product design goals. Specifically, when the palm rest area is subjected to the first process treatment, the palm rest area has a good anti-slip effect due to the increase in friction, and at the same time, the palm rest area and the touch area have a coordinated appearance, thereby maintaining the consistency of the overall design of the panel 100 and enhancing the visual beauty of the product. If the palm rest area is not subjected to the first process treatment, the production cost can be reduced and the product appearance can be made simpler.

[0055] Preferably, the film layer 5 has a second surface (not shown in the figure) which is processed by a second process to form a second appearance effect, and the second surface of the film layer 5 is opposite to the first surface of the film layer 5.

[0056] Specifically, the second process can be an ultraviolet curing transfer process, which can produce fine, clear and colorful patterns or textures (i.e., the second appearance effect), and due to the different light reflection angles, the texture of the ultraviolet curing transfer will show differences in gloss and effect at different viewing angles, thereby increasing the quality and variability of the product; alternatively, the second process can also be a printing process, which can achieve various vivid and fine patterns and texts, and at the same time has rich color expression, so that the second surface of the membrane layer 5 obtains a rich and diverse second appearance effect. The second process of the present application is preferably an ultraviolet curing transfer process.

[0057] The specific pattern, color, and size of the second appearance can be flexibly designed according to the actual needs of users and product design goals.

[0058] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, preferably, the panel 100 further has a third area 3;

[0059] The second region 2 penetrates along the first direction A to form the third region 3; the first region 1 is located on the first side of the third region 3 along the second direction B; the second region 2 is connected to one side or both sides of the first region 1 along the third direction C, and the first direction A, the second direction B and the third direction C are perpendicular to each other.

[0060] Specifically, the panel 100 is divided into three areas and laid out according to functional requirements, so that limited space resources can be used more effectively and efficient space utilization is achieved.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, preferably, the second area 2 is formed through the first direction A to form a third area 3, and the third area 3 is used to accommodate the first keyboard. The first area 1 and the second area 2 can be integrally formed to form an integral structure.

[0062] Specifically, a third area 3 can be used to accommodate the entire first keyboard. Since the panel 100 includes a glass layer 4, this design is more conducive to the processing and manufacturing of the panel 100. In order to improve the strength and structural stability of the panel 100, the second area 2 at least has a first part 21, a second part 22 and two third parts 23. The first area 1 is integrally formed with the first part 21, the two second parts 22 are arranged at intervals along the third direction C, the first part 21 and the third part 23 are arranged at intervals along the second direction B, and the first part 21, the second part 22 and the two third parts 23 enclose the third area 3; wherein the size of the first part 21 along the second direction B is greater than or equal to 12 mm, and the sizes of the two second parts 22 along the third direction C are both greater than or equal to 8 mm.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, preferably, the second area 2 is penetrated along the first direction A to form a plurality of the third areas 3, and each of the third areas 3 is used to accommodate a key on the second keyboard.

[0064] Specifically, the plurality of receiving portions 31 correspond to the respective keys on the keyboard, so that the layout of the panel 100 is more refined and customized, and more precise operation feedback is achieved, which helps to improve typing accuracy and enhance the user's input experience.

[0067] The coating layer 6 is disposed on the second surface of the diaphragm layer 5 , and the target material of the coating layer 6 is a compound of silicon or titanium.

[0068] Specifically, the coating 6 can be provided only in the touch area of ​​the panel 100; or, in order to ensure the consistency of the panel 100, the entire panel 100 can also be provided with the coating 6. The coating 6 can be vacuum plated, for example, by physical vapor deposition, magnetron sputtering, etc. under vacuum conditions; or, it can also be measured by chemical vapor deposition or electrophoretic deposition. The present application prefers vacuum plating to reduce the presence of impurities, so that the coating 6 has high purity and good adhesion, and at the same time, the thickness of the coating 6 can be precisely controlled.

[0069] Silicon or titanium compounds have a stable dielectric constant, which can ensure that the touch area maintains consistent response characteristics under various environmental conditions (such as temperature and humidity changes), avoid electronic effects that affect the touch function, and improve the stability of the touch function.

[0078] The cover bottom layer 8 is disposed on the second surface of the membrane layer 5 opposite to the first surface. The cover bottom layer 8 is used to cover the components inside the electronic device.

[0079] Specifically, the color of the cover bottom layer 8 can be selected to be darker black or gray to cover the components inside the electronic device and improve the aesthetics. The number of layers of the cover bottom layer 8 is not further limited. When one layer of the cover bottom layer 8 cannot cover the components, multiple layers of the cover bottom layer 8 can also be provided.

[0080] Example 6

[0081] like Figure 8 As shown, Example 6 of the present application provides a shell. The difference between the shell of Example 6 and that of Example 5 is that the cover bottom layer 8 is arranged on the second surface of the diaphragm layer 5 through the coating layer 6 .
