Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a housing and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic device housings with decorative patterns or textures already exist in this field. In these related technologies, the decorative textures are formed by printing or etching, resulting in shallow texture depth, which affects the decorative effect and limits the further application of textured electronic device housings. Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for an electronic device housing that can form textures with a certain depth, providing a better decorative effect and enhancing the consumer experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, this application aims to provide a housing and electronic device that can form a texture with a certain depth effect, thereby providing a better decorative effect and enhancing the consumer experience.

[0004] In one aspect, this application provides a housing comprising: a substrate; a first dielectric layer, the first dielectric layer being stacked with the substrate; and a decorative layer, the decorative layer comprising an adhesive and a decorative component, the adhesive encapsulating the decorative component within the decorative layer, the decorative layer being disposed on the side of the first dielectric layer away from the substrate.

[0005] According to this aspect, the decorative pattern or effect in the decorative layer is provided directly by the decorative component, rather than printed or etched into the housing. By enclosing the entire decorative component used to provide the decorative effect within the housing, it is possible to form a deeper decorative pattern or texture, thereby providing a stronger three-dimensional effect and a better decorative result.

[0006] In one possible implementation of this application, the decorative component includes a textured decorative element.

[0007] In one possible implementation of this application, the texture includes plant textures and / or geometric textures, or the decorative element includes pre-treated plant tissue.

[0008] In one possible implementation of this application, the decorative element includes pretreated plant tissue.

[0009] In one possible implementation of this application, the pretreatment includes one or more of dehydration, drying, staining, denaturation, and de-meatization.

[0010] In one possible implementation of this application, the adhesive includes UV glue, the thickness of the decorative component is less than 0.3 mm, and the thickness of the decorative layer is the sum of the thickness of the decorative component and an additional thickness of 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm.

[0011] In one possible implementation of this application, the first dielectric layer is made of PET and has a thickness greater than or equal to 0.05 mm, and the substrate is made of glass or PC and has a thickness greater than or equal to 0.4 mm.

[0012] In one possible implementation of this application, the housing further includes a holographic texture layer and a coating layer, which are disposed between the substrate and the first dielectric layer, or on the side of the decorative layer away from the first dielectric layer.

[0013] In one possible implementation of this application, the shimmering texture layer is disposed on the side of the decorative layer away from the first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer is disposed between the shimmering texture layer and the decorative layer, and the coating layer is disposed on the side of the shimmering texture layer away from the second dielectric layer.

[0014] In one possible implementation of this application, the iridescent texture layer is made of UV adhesive, the coating layer is made of lithium or magnesium, and the thickness of the coating layer is between 150 and 500 nanometers.

[0015] In one possible implementation of this application, the decorative layer has multiple sub-decorative layers, each sub-decorative layer including a sub-decorative component and an adhesive that encapsulates the sub-decorative component within the sub-decorative layer.

[0016] On the other hand, this application provides an electronic device that includes the aforementioned housing.

[0017] According to this aspect, in the housing described above, the decorative pattern or effect in the decorative layer is provided directly by the decorative component, rather than printed or etched into the housing. By enclosing the entire decorative component used to provide the decorative effect within the housing, a deeper decorative pattern or texture can be formed, thereby providing a stronger three-dimensional effect and a better decorative result. Electronic devices equipped with such a housing can possess the beneficial effects of the housing.

[0018] In one possible implementation of this application, the electronic device further includes a light-emitting component disposed on the side of the decorative layer near the interior of the electronic device, and the decorative layer is at least partially transparent to the light emitted by the light-emitting component.

[0019] In one possible implementation of this application, the electronic device further includes a decorative piece disposed on the side of the housing near the interior of the electronic device, forming a gap between the decorative piece and the housing. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the concepts and ideas of this application, the application is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments given herein are only a part of all possible embodiments of this application. After reading the specification of this application, those skilled in the art are capable of making improvements, modifications, or substitutions to parts or the entirety of the following embodiments, and such improvements, modifications, or substitutions are also included within the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0029] In this document, the terms "one," "an," and other similar words are not intended to indicate that only one of the described things exists, but rather that the description refers only to one of the described things, which may have one or more. In this document, the terms "comprising," "including," and other similar words are intended to indicate a logical relationship, not a spatial relationship. For example, "A includes B" means that logically B belongs to A, not that spatially B is located inside A. Furthermore, the meanings of the terms "comprising," "including," and other similar words should be considered open-ended, not closed-ended. For example, "A includes B" means that B belongs to A, but B does not necessarily constitute all of A; A may also include other elements such as C, D, and E.

[0030] In this document, the terms "first," "second," and other similar terms are not intended to imply any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different elements. In this document, the terms "embodiment," "this embodiment," "an embodiment," or "an example" do not indicate that the description applies only to one specific embodiment, but rather that such description may also be applicable to one or more other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand that any description made herein with respect to one embodiment can be substituted, combined, or otherwise combined with the descriptions in one or more other embodiments, and the new embodiments resulting from such substitutions, combinations, or other combinations are readily conceived by those skilled in the art and fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] In various embodiments of this application, the housing can refer to a thin-walled structure with a spatial curved surface shape, characterized by a relatively small thickness compared to its overall dimensions (such as length, width, span, etc.). In some embodiments of this application, the housing can specifically refer to the housing of an electronic device, used to protect the internal components of the electronic device, allowing the user to hold, grip, or place the electronic device in any suitable position during normal operation. In some embodiments of this application, the housing can refer to the housing that comes with the electronic device itself, rather than a protective case that needs to be purchased separately to protect the appearance of the electronic device from damage. In some embodiments of this application, the housing can refer to a housing that does not form the external outline of the electronic device, but is disposed inside the electronic device. For example, when an electronic device has a light strip that can emit light outwards, the housing can act as a lampshade for the light strip, protecting and supporting the light strip, while the lampshade is covered on the outside by the housing that forms the external outline of the electronic device.

[0032] In various embodiments of this application, an electronic device can refer to a device that utilizes electronic technology principles to achieve specific functions, primarily based on the movement and control of electrons. Electronic devices consist of numerous electronic components connected by circuits, forming complex electronic systems to achieve various functions. These electronic components can be various electronic components built on semiconductor materials (such as silicon), such as transistors and diodes. These components can control the flow of electrons, achieving basic functions such as signal amplification and rectification. In some embodiments of this application, electronic devices include common personal consumer electronics products, such as mobile phones, computers, smartwatches, and in-vehicle terminals, as well as industrial automation control equipment and various precision instruments in the scientific research field.

[0033] In one embodiment of this application, the housing is manufactured in several ways: a glass cover is laminated with a transparent film to create a completely transparent effect; a glass cover and a textured film create a semi-transparent appearance effect on the front or in parts; a textured glass cover and a textured film create a semi-transparent appearance effect on the entire surface or in parts. The problem with these housing manufacturing methods is that the texture is formed by transfer or etching, resulting in low texture depth and a lack of three-dimensionality.

[0034] In some embodiments of this application, dried leaves and flowers, among other decorative items, are fixed to the bottom surface of a transparent PET (polyethylene terephthalate) sheet using transparent adhesive, which simultaneously seals them, creating a decorative effect with a solid interlayer within the transparent film. Alternatively, a shimmering texture and a high-gloss coating layer can be superimposed on the bottom to create a shimmering effect with solid decorative elements. Compared to traditional nanotexture solutions, this approach offers a more realistic and refined effect.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, decorative pieces with plant textures may appear rather dull because they are placed inside a casing, affecting their decorative effect. By adding a brightening layer or a glare layer, the brightness of the decorative piece area can be increased, making its texture more prominent. Especially for translucent decorative pieces, such as those with leaf veins visible through transparent leaf treatment, the aid of a brightening layer or glare layer can make them appear brighter and achieve a better decorative effect.

[0036] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a housing according to an embodiment of this application is shown.

[0037] In this embodiment, the housing 100 includes: a substrate 110; a first dielectric layer 120, which is stacked with the substrate 110; and a decorative layer 130, which includes an adhesive 131 and a decorative component 132. The adhesive 131 encapsulates the decorative component 132 in the decorative layer 130, and the decorative layer 130 is disposed on the side of the first dielectric layer 120 away from the substrate 110.

[0038] According to this embodiment, the substrate 110 serves as the base material of the housing 100, primarily providing structural strength and providing support. The first dielectric layer 120 and the decorative layer 130 can be disposed above or below the substrate 110. In other words, the first dielectric layer 120 and the decorative layer 130 can be disposed on the side of the substrate 110 closer to the inside of the electronic device or on the side of the substrate 110 farther from the inside of the electronic device. This is because the decorative layer 130 can achieve different decorative and structural effects when disposed above or below the substrate 110. When the decorative layer 130 is disposed below the substrate 110, the substrate 110, as an exterior component, can protect the decorative layer 130, while the decorative layer 130 creates a certain sense of depth. When the decorative layer 130 is disposed above the substrate 110, the substrate 110 supports the decorative layer 130 from the inside, while also bringing the decorative components 132 in the decorative layer 130 closer to the outer surface, thus highlighting the decorative effect of the decorative components 132.

[0039] According to this embodiment, the decorative component 132 is encased in the decorative layer 130 to protect the decorative component 132, ensuring that the details and textures of its decorative elements are preserved for a long time and are not damaged or affected by other structures or the external environment. The adhesive 131 can be applied to the decorative component 132 by vacuum coating, thereby avoiding the formation of air bubbles.

[0040] According to this embodiment, the first dielectric layer 120 is provided to support the decorative layer 130 on the substrate 110, so that the material of the decorative layer 130 (e.g., UV adhesive) can be firmly adhered to the substrate 110. In practice, during manufacturing, before the decorative layer 130 is bonded to the substrate 110, it needs to be bonded to the first dielectric layer 120 first. This allows for the easy removal of excess adhesive around the decorative layer, forming a size and shape that matches the substrate 110. Then, the cut combination of the decorative layer 130 and the first dielectric layer 120 is bonded to the substrate 110. This is because the shape of the substrate 110 is often already determined before other layered structures are bonded, and the substrate cannot be cut after the decorative layer 130 is bonded. Therefore, the first dielectric layer 120 is needed as an intermediary to cut the decorative layer 130.

[0041] As an example, decorative component 132 includes a textured decorative element. According to this example, the primary decorative effect of the decorative component is a decorative texture formed by the decorative element, which is entirely located within a housing. This allows the texture on the decorative element to be completely enclosed within the housing, giving the texture more depth and layering, thereby enhancing its decorative effect. Compared to ordinary printed or etched textures, the texture formed by the decorative element provides a more pronounced three-dimensional effect, further enhancing the texture and aesthetics of the decoration.

[0042] According to this example, a decorative element can refer to a separate or integral component that serves a decorative function. A decorative element can refer to a specific form of decorative component 132. By setting the decorative component 132 as a textured decorative element, the decorative component 132 can achieve a delicate, soft, and aesthetically pleasing decorative effect, beautifying the electronic device's housing 100 through richly detailed textured patterns and enhancing its visual appeal. In this example, the texture can be any texture suitable for decorating the electronic device's housing 100, including but not limited to wood texture, stone texture, carbon fiber texture, metal texture, matte texture, leather texture, geometric texture, water ripple texture, starry sky texture, camouflage texture, leaf vein texture, snakeskin texture, embossed texture, nano texture, etc.

[0043] As an example, the texture includes plant textures and / or geometric textures. According to this example, by limiting the texture to plant and geometric textures, the form and visual effect of the texture can be enriched, allowing the texture to express a more natural and diverse textural layer. In particular, plant textures, which exist in nature, are often not well formed through printing or etching. This application, by completely encasing the decorative piece with such a texture in a shell, makes the details of the naturally formed texture richer, the three-dimensional effect stronger, and brings a more authentic visual effect from nature.

[0044] According to this example, plant textures may include leaf textures, bark textures, dried flower textures, hay textures, etc. In some embodiments, textures may also include leather textures, etc. Geometric textures may include geometric shape textures, geometric pattern textures, etc. In this example, since the textured decorative element is entirely enclosed in the decorative layer 130, its texture details can be displayed more clearly and comprehensively, unlike embossed and etched textures. Therefore, the texture of the decorative element can adopt more complex and aesthetically pleasing plant and geometric textures. In particular, naturally formed plant textures are more suitable for being set in the housing 100 by enclosing the decorative element, thereby achieving a delicate, clear display and preservation.

[0045] As an example, the decorative element includes pre-treated plant tissue. According to this example, the plant texture on the tissue has a unique decorative effect, connecting it to natural objects such as flowers, trees, and shrubs that bring natural enjoyment, thus giving even industrially standardized products like electronic devices a naturally beautiful aesthetic. By directly using the pre-treated plant tissue as a decorative element and encasing it in the casing, the plant texture of the casing becomes more delicate, offering a fresher and more natural visual experience, and providing greater texture depth and a stronger sense of three-dimensionality.

[0046] According to this example, the texture of the decorative element is a plant texture, which is directly derived from plant tissues found in nature. Such a decorative element, set within the housing 100, creates a refreshing effect. Naturally formed plant tissues possess rich detail and texture; by completely encasing the plant tissues within the decorative layer 130, the veins of the plant tissues are clearly visible, thus imbuing standardized electronic products produced in industrial settings with a unique natural charm.

[0047] As an example, pretreatment includes one or more of dehydration, drying, staining, denaturation, and desquamation. According to this example, pretreated plant tissue can be preserved for a longer period and is more suitable for industrial processing. Plant tissue that has undergone dehydration, drying, staining, denaturation, or desquamation retains its naturally formed texture and is less prone to decay and spoilage, making it suitable for industrially produced durable goods.

[0048] According to this example, dehydration treatment can refer to naturally air-drying plant tissue or rapidly removing moisture from plant tissue using methods such as desiccants, microwave heating, or freeze-drying. Drying treatment can refer to further drying plant tissue based on dehydration treatment, making it even drier. Staining treatment can refer to coloring plant tissue to give it a color different from its natural color. Degeneration treatment can refer to treating plant tissue with chemical agents to alter its chemical or physical properties. Desquamation treatment can refer to removing the mesophyll from plant tissue, such as leaves, leaving only the hard or textured parts of the plant tissue.

[0049] As an example, the adhesive includes a UV (ultraviolet rays) glue. The thickness H2 of the decorative component 132 is less than 0.3 mm, and the thickness H1 of the decorative layer is the sum of the thickness H2 of the decorative component 132 and an additional thickness H3, which is 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm. According to this example, a UV glue is used as the adhesive to ensure strong adhesion and to avoid air bubbles during the bonding process, as UV glue is a light-curing adhesive and can be cured by light, thus reducing the likelihood of air bubbles. The decorative component cannot be too thick to avoid affecting the adhesive's bonding strength. The minimum additional thickness should ensure that the adhesive can seal the decorative component, preventing it from detaching or becoming loosely bonded; the maximum should ensure that the adhesive will not crack during the curing process.

[0050] According to this example, the adhesive can be a UV glue, which has strong adhesion, can be cured by light, is not prone to air bubbles, and has high transmittance to ensure that the decorative effect of the decorative layer is clearly visible. The adhesive can be applied to cover the decorative component 132. The adhesive has a certain degree of fluidity and can cure quickly after being exposed to UV light, forming a protective coating on the surface of the decorative layer, isolating it from the air and effectively protecting the decorative layer.

[0051] According to this example, the thickness H2 of the decorative component 132 is less than 0.3 mm. This is because the decorative component 132 cannot be too thick, otherwise it will affect the adhesive strength of the adhesive 131. The decorative component 132 should maintain a certain distance from the edge of the housing in the lateral direction. If it is too close to the edge, the area left for the adhesive will be insufficient, which will also affect the adhesive strength and easily cause gaps or air bubbles.

[0052] According to this example, the additional thickness H3 is 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm. This is because if the additional thickness is too thick, the adhesive layer will be too thick and prone to cracking during the curing process; if it is too thin, it will not be able to seal the decorative component 132 well, causing the decorative component 132 to detach from the adhesive 131.

[0053] As an example, the first dielectric layer 120 is made of PET and has a thickness greater than or equal to 0.05 mm. The substrate 110 is made of glass or PC (polycarbonate) and has a thickness greater than or equal to 0.4 mm. According to this example, the first dielectric layer made of PET has good high-temperature resistance, while also possessing a certain degree of flexibility and toughness. The first dielectric layer must have a thickness of at least 0.05 mm to ensure that it can effectively support the decorative layer. The substrate is made of glass or PC and has a thickness greater than 0.4 mm to provide sufficient strength and resistance to damage, ensuring that other layered structures can be firmly attached to the substrate.

[0054] According to this example, the first dielectric layer 120 is made of PET. PET has good high temperature resistance, as well as a certain degree of softness and toughness, a certain degree of surface hardness and a high transmittance (≥90%), making it highly suitable as a decorative layer for transparent covers.

[0055] According to this example, the thickness of the first dielectric layer 120 is greater than or equal to 0.05 mm. This is to ensure that the first dielectric layer 120 can play the role of supporting the decorative layer 130. If the first dielectric layer 120 is too thin, the decorative layer 130 may not adhere well to the first dielectric layer 120, resulting in bubbles or detachment.

[0056] According to this example, the substrate 110 is made of glass or PC, and the thickness of the substrate 110 is greater than or equal to 0.4 mm. The substrate 110 with this material and thickness can have sufficient strength and toughness to ensure that the shell 100 formed on the substrate has sufficient strength and resistance to damage, and to allow other layered structures to be firmly attached to the substrate 110.

[0057] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a housing according to an embodiment of this application is shown.

[0058] In this embodiment, the housing 200 includes a substrate 210, a first dielectric layer 220, and a decorative layer 230. The decorative layer 230 includes an adhesive 231 and decorative components 232, and is disposed on the side of the first dielectric layer 220 away from the substrate 210. The housing 200 also includes a glossy texture layer 240 and a coating layer 250, which are disposed on the side of the decorative layer 230 away from the first dielectric layer 220. According to this embodiment, by providing a glossy texture layer and a coating layer in the housing, the gloss of the housing can be enhanced, resulting in a stronger luster. The glossy texture layer and the coating layer, combined with the decorative layer, make the texture and patterns of the decorative components in the decorative layer more prominent, allowing the rich details and depth of the decorative components to be clearly perceived under strong luster, thereby enhancing the visual appearance of the housing.

[0059] According to this embodiment, the shimmering texture layer 240 is provided to enhance the gloss of the housing 200, allowing the housing 200 to reflect more vibrant colors under light, while simultaneously illuminating the decorative components 232 in the decorative layer 230, making the decorative elements and textures of the decorative components 232 more prominent. The shimmering texture layer 240 can be made using a UV transfer printing process, and different textures can be selected to create different light and shadow effects.

[0060] According to this embodiment, the coating layer 250 is provided to generate a strong metallic luster and reflective effect at the bottom of the iridescent texture layer 240, making the iridescent effect of the iridescent texture layer 240 more obvious and transparent. The coating layer 250 can be formed into a high-reflectivity coating using nano-plating.

[0061] As an example, the iridescent texture layer 240 is disposed on the side of the decorative layer 230 away from the first dielectric layer 220, and a second dielectric layer 260 is disposed between the iridescent texture layer 240 and the decorative layer 230. The coating layer 250 is disposed on the side of the iridescent texture layer 240 away from the second dielectric layer 260. According to this example, by providing the second dielectric layer, a strong bond can be maintained between the iridescent texture layer and the decorative layer, preventing the formation of detachment or bubbles between the iridescent texture layer and the decorative layer material, which would affect the appearance and structural strength of the housing or electronic device.

[0062] According to this example, the second dielectric layer 260 can be made of materials such as polyurethane. The second dielectric layer 260 can be transparent, allowing the gloss of the iridescent texture layer 240 and the coating layer 250 to pass through. The thickness of the second dielectric layer 260 can be around 10 micrometers to ensure adhesion between the decorative layer 230 and the iridescent texture layer 240.

[0063] As an example, the iridescent texture layer 240 is made of UV adhesive, and the coating layer 250 is made of lithium or magnesium, with a thickness between 150 and 500 nanometers. According to this example, the iridescent texture layer made with UV adhesive exhibits good structural strength and a good appearance. The coating layer formed with lithium or magnesium provides a high-brightness appearance and is easy to manufacture. Using a coating layer of this thickness ensures reflective brightness while avoiding weak adhesion, delamination, or air bubbles caused by excessive thickness.

[0064] According to this example, the iridescent texture layer 240 is made of UV adhesive, which provides good structural strength and a good appearance.

[0065] According to this example, the coating layer 250 is made of lithium or magnesium. The coating layer 250 made of these two metals can have a high-brightness coating effect, while being easy to manufacture at low cost using mature processes.

[0066] According to this example, the thickness of the coating layer 250 is between 150 and 500 nanometers. This is to ensure the coating effect while avoiding the coating layer 250 being too thick, which would result in weak adhesion.

[0067] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of a housing according to an embodiment of this application is shown.

[0068] In this embodiment, the housing 300 includes a substrate 310, a first dielectric layer 320, and a decorative layer 330. The decorative layer 330 includes an adhesive 331 and a decorative component 332, and is disposed on the side of the first dielectric layer 320 away from the substrate 310. The housing 300 also includes a glossy texture layer 340 and a coating layer 350, which are disposed between the substrate 310 and the first dielectric layer 320.

[0069] According to this embodiment, the iridescent texture layer 340 and the coating layer 350 are disposed between the substrate 310 and the first dielectric layer 320, and above the decorative layer 330. This allows the decorative component 332 in the decorative layer 330 to be observed through the transparent or semi-transparent iridescent texture layer 340 and the coating layer 350, thereby giving the decorative component 332 a more dazzling luster and highlighting the high-brightness luster effect brought by the iridescent texture layer 340 and the coating layer 350. At the same time, it gives the faintly visible decorative component 332 a certain sense of mystery and depth, creating a different visual experience.

[0070] According to this embodiment, opaque colored ink can be screen-printed on the bottom of the decorative layer 330 to form a special decorative effect of opaque texture with a dazzling effect and solid internal layer.

[0071] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of a housing according to an embodiment of this application is shown.

[0072] In this embodiment, the housing 400 includes a substrate 410, a first dielectric layer 420, and a decorative layer 430, with the decorative layer 430 disposed on the side of the first dielectric layer 420 away from the substrate 410. The decorative layer 430 has multiple sub-decorative layers 431, each sub-decorative layer 431 including a sub-decorative component 432 and an adhesive 433 encapsulating the sub-decorative component 432 within the sub-decorative layer 431. According to this embodiment, by providing multiple sub-decorative layers, each containing a sub-decorative component, the housing can achieve a decorative effect through the stacking of multiple sub-decorative components in depth, further enriching the visual appeal of the housing. This allows multiple sub-decorative components of different heights to jointly decorate the housing, enhancing its luxurious and refined appearance and improving its visual attractiveness.

[0073] According to this embodiment, a sub-decorative layer 431 may refer to a part of a decorative layer 430. A sub-decorative layer 431 can independently function as a decorative layer, possessing all the components and functions of a decorative layer. A sub-decorative component 432 may refer to a decorative component existing in a sub-decorative layer 431, which can independently function as a decorative component, possessing all the parts, components, and functions of a decorative component.

[0074] According to this embodiment, the decorative layer 430 has multiple sub-decorative layers 431, each sub-decorative layer 431 having a separate sub-decorative component 432. Thus, in the depth direction of the housing 400, multiple sub-decorative components 432 are stacked, collectively serving a decorative effect. In some embodiments, the decorative elements, patterns, or textures in each sub-decorative component 432 can be different, thereby enabling the superposition of multiple sub-decorative layers 431 to produce a complementary and synergistic effect, avoiding simple repetition of the same decorative elements. Those skilled in the art should understand that... Figure 4 Although only two sub-decorative layers 431 are shown, the number of sub-decorative layers 431 is not limited to this; there can be three, four, five, etc., and the number of sub-decorative layers 430 can be any suitable number.

[0075] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device according to an embodiment of this application is shown.

[0076] In this embodiment, the electronic device 500 includes a housing 501. The housing 501 includes: a substrate 510; a first dielectric layer 520, which is stacked with the substrate 510; and a decorative layer 530, which includes an adhesive 531 and a decorative component 532. The adhesive 531 encapsulates the decorative component 532 in the decorative layer 530, and the decorative layer 530 is disposed on the side of the first dielectric layer 520 away from the substrate 510.

[0077] According to this embodiment, the housing 501, as part of the electronic device 500, serves to protect the electronic device 500 and enhance its appearance. A decorative layer 530 is provided within the housing 501, which decorates the appearance of the electronic device 500. In this embodiment, a decorative component 532 is encapsulated within the decorative layer 530 using an adhesive 531, allowing the decorative effect of the component 532 to be fully reflected in the entire housing 501. The decorative elements, patterns, or textures of the component 532 have greater depth and a more three-dimensional and layered feel, thus making the electronic device 500 more visually appealing.

[0079] In this embodiment, the electronic device 600 includes a housing 601, which includes a substrate 610, a first dielectric layer 620, and a decorative layer 630. The decorative layer 630 includes an adhesive 631 and a decorative component 632. The electronic device 600 also includes a light-emitting component 640, which is disposed on the side of the decorative layer 630 near the interior of the electronic device 600. The decorative layer 630 is at least partially transparent to light emitted by the light-emitting component 640. According to this embodiment, by providing the light-emitting component, the housing of the electronic device has a self-illuminating effect. This luminous effect can particularly highlight the decorative effect of the decorative components in the decorative layer, for example, making the plant textures in the decorative components more prominent, producing a stronger visual impact and a three-dimensional effect.

[0080] According to this embodiment, the light-emitting component 640 can refer to a component capable of emitting light to illuminate the housing 601 of the electronic device 600. In some embodiments, the light-emitting component 640 can be composed of a circuit board and an LED (light-emitting diode), for example, made into a light strip. The light-emitting component 640 is disposed on the side of the decorative layer 630 near the interior of the electronic device, so that the light-emitting component 640 can emit light from the bottom of the housing 601, allowing the light to pass through the housing 601. At this time, the housing 601 can be made transparent or translucent, thereby allowing at least part of the optical fiber emitted by the light-emitting component 640 to pass through. By illuminating the housing 601 with the light-emitting component 640, the decorative elements, patterns, or textures carried by the decorative component 632 in the housing 601 can be displayed more clearly, so that the user of the electronic device 600 can clearly and obviously see the decorative component 632 embedded in the housing 601, and the decorative function of the decorative component 632 is further enhanced.

[0081] Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device according to an embodiment of this application is shown.

[0082] In this embodiment, the electronic device 700 includes a housing 701, which includes a substrate 710, a first dielectric layer 720, and a decorative layer 730. The decorative layer 730 includes an adhesive 731 and a decorative component 732. The electronic device 700 also includes a decorative piece 740, which is disposed on the side of the housing 701 near the interior of the electronic device 700, forming a gap H4 between the decorative piece and the housing 701. According to this embodiment, by providing a decorative piece at a certain distance below the housing of the electronic device, the housing of the electronic device has a greater sense of depth in visual effect. When people observe this housing, they can see not only the outer housing but also the decorative piece below it, thus giving the housing of the electronic device a richer visual hierarchy, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the electronic device, and increasing its appearance appeal.

[0083] According to this embodiment, the decorative piece 740 can refer to a sheet or plate that serves a decorative function. The decorative elements, patterns, or textures on the decorative piece 740 can complement and reinforce the decorative elements, patterns, or textures on the decorative component 732, creating a synergistic effect. In some embodiments, the decorative elements of the decorative piece 740 should avoid simply repeating the decorative elements on the decorative component 732, making the decorative effect of the decorative piece 740 appear redundant and inconspicuous. The decorative piece 740 is disposed on the inner side of the housing 701 near the electronic device 700, forming a certain distance or gap between it and the housing 701. This allows the decorative elements on the decorative piece 740 to appear more deep and distant, creating a layered three-dimensional effect, thus complementing the decorative effect of the decorative component 732 in the housing 701. The selection of the gap H4 range should, on the one hand, be suitable for occupying as little space as possible inside the electronic device 700, so that there is enough space inside the electronic device 700 to install electronic components, while meeting the overall miniaturization requirements of the electronic device 700 and avoiding bulkiness; on the other hand, it should be suitable for creating a sufficient sense of depth, so that users can feel that the vertical position of the decorative piece 740 is significantly different from that of the housing 701 and the decorative component 732, thereby creating a unique and recognizable visual effect.
