[0026] With the rapid development of consumer electronics, traditional glass covers, while meeting basic protection needs, have limitations in terms of wear resistance, scratch resistance, corrosion resistance, and visual appeal. Especially in high-end markets such as smartphones, tablets, and automotive displays, users not only expect products to have superior durability but also seek unique aesthetic experiences and interactive functions.
[0027] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this application / utility model provides a modular coated cover plate with electromagnetic shielding. Figure 1 A front view of a glass cover plate provided in an embodiment of the present utility model; Figure 2 This is a side view of a coated cover plate provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1-2 As shown, the coated cover plate includes a first coated layer 20, a glass cover plate 10, a thermochromic ink layer 30, a second coated layer 40, a first plastic block 50, and a second plastic block 60 arranged sequentially. The first plastic block 50 and the second plastic block 60 are arranged parallel to each other on the same side of the second coated layer 40. The first coated layer 20 is used to enhance the wear resistance, heat dissipation, and electromagnetic shielding performance of the surface of the glass cover plate 10. The second coated layer 40 is used to enhance the wear resistance of the thermochromic ink layer 30. The first plastic block 50 is disposed at one end of the second coated layer 40. The second plastic block 60 is disposed at the other end of the second coated layer 40. The second plastic block 60 is provided with a plastic groove 61, which matches the size of the first plastic block 50 and is used to place the first plastic block 50 adjacent to the coated cover plate.
[0028] Preferably, when multiple glass cover plates 10 are assembled, the first plastic block 50 of the glass cover plate 10 is placed into the plastic groove 61 of the adjacent glass cover plate 10. The modular assembly of the coated cover plate can be realized without additional mechanical parts to assemble multiple glass cover plates 10. The assembly is simple and convenient. By coating different material layers on the glass cover plate 10, not only can the wear resistance of the glass cover plate 10 be significantly enhanced, but the front of the glass cover plate 10 can also have heat dissipation and electromagnetic shielding properties.
[0029] In some preferred embodiments, the first coating layer 20 includes a vanadium nitride layer 21, a niobium carbide layer 22, and a copper-chromium-zirconium alloy layer 23. The vanadium nitride layer 21 is disposed on the surface of the glass cover plate 10 and is used to enhance the wear resistance and anti-reflection properties of the glass cover plate 10. The niobium carbide layer 22 is disposed on the surface of the vanadium nitride layer 21 and is used to enhance the wear resistance of the glass cover plate 10. The copper-chromium-zirconium alloy layer 23 is disposed on the surface of the niobium carbide layer 22 and is used to enhance the heat dissipation capacity and electromagnetic shielding performance of the glass cover plate 10.
[0030] In some preferred embodiments, the thickness of the vanadium nitride layer 21 is 50-70 nm.
[0031] Preferably, vanadium nitride is a composite alloy containing vanadium, nitrogen, and carbon, typically in the form of a black powder. Compared to vanadium metal, vanadium nitride exhibits higher hardness and melting point, as well as better corrosion resistance. Furthermore, vanadium nitride possesses excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. Depositing a 50-70 nm thick vanadium nitride layer 21 onto the glass cover 10 significantly enhances the scratch and wear resistance of the glass cover 10 surface, maintains stable performance under various environments, and also provides some anti-reflective properties, improving visual appeal.
[0032] In some preferred embodiments, the thickness of the niobium carbide layer 22 is 30-50 nm.
[0033] Preferably, niobium carbide is a green cubic crystal with a metallic luster, possessing a high melting point, high hardness (microhardness up to 235 GPa, harder than corundum, and one of the hardest known materials), and chemical stability (stable at 1000–1100°C, but rapidly oxidizes to niobium pentoxide above 1100°C). Therefore, depositing a niobium carbide layer 22 on the vanadium nitride layer 21 significantly enhances the scratch resistance and wear resistance of the glass cover plate 10 surface, and provides strong chemical stability at high temperatures of 1000–1100°C.
[0034] In some preferred embodiments, the thickness of the copper-chromium-zirconium alloy layer 23 is 100-150 nm.
[0035] Preferably, copper-chromium-zirconium alloy, also known as chromium-zirconium copper, is a high-performance alloy material used in the copper processing industry. It is mainly composed of copper, chromium, and zirconium. Copper-chromium-zirconium alloy has high hardness and strength, making it a wear-resistant copper material with exceptional hardness. This alloy has an electrical conductivity ≥80% IACS, exhibiting good electrical and thermal conductivity. It maintains stable performance for extended periods in humid and corrosive environments, demonstrating excellent corrosion and wear resistance. It can be formed through forging, die casting, and stretching, and also exhibits good weldability. Even at operating temperatures up to 200℃, it maintains good performance, exhibiting good thermal stability and a wide aging range, allowing for long-term use at high temperatures (100–250℃). Therefore, a 100-150nm thick copper-chromium-zirconium alloy layer 23 is further deposited on the niobium carbide layer 22 to further enhance the strength and durability of the glass cover 10. Since the alloy's electrical and thermal conductivity contribute to heat dissipation and electromagnetic shielding, it can further improve the overall performance of the product.
[0036] In some preferred embodiments, the thickness of the thermochromic ink layer 30 is 8-12 μm.
[0037] Preferably, thermochromic inks can change color according to temperature changes, increasing the fun and interactivity of products. Through screen printing, a variety of patterns and colors can be designed to enhance the aesthetics of products.
[0038] In some preferred embodiments, the second coating layer 40 includes a niobium nitride layer 41 and a tantalum carbide layer 42 disposed sequentially. The niobium nitride layer 41 is disposed on the surface of the thermochromic ink layer 30 and enhances the wear resistance of the thermochromic ink layer 30. The tantalum carbide layer 42 is disposed on the surface of the niobium nitride layer 41 and enhances the wear resistance of the thermochromic ink layer 30.
[0039] In some preferred embodiments, the thickness of the niobium nitride layer 41 is 10-20 nm.
[0040] Preferably, niobium nitride is a high-hardness, high-wear-resistant material with high thermal and chemical stability and resistance to neutron radiation. It can effectively prevent the thermochromic ink layer 30 from being scratched. Therefore, depositing a 10-20nm thick niobium nitride layer 41 can not only protect the thermochromic ink layer 30 from environmental influences, but also extend the service life of the thermochromic ink layer 30.
[0041] In some preferred embodiments, the thickness of the tantalum carbide layer 42 is 5-10 nm.
[0042] Preferably, tantalum carbide is a light brown metallic cubic crystalline powder with a high melting point (3880℃), high hardness (Mohs hardness 9, close to diamond) and excellent chemical stability. Therefore, depositing a tantalum carbide layer 42 on the niobium nitride layer 41 can effectively prevent the thermochromic ink layer 30 from being scratched and extend the service life of the thermochromic ink layer 30.
[0043] Preferably, vanadium nitride layer 21 and niobium carbide layer 22 are deposited on the surface of glass cover plate 10, and niobium nitride layer 41 and tantalum carbide layer 42 are deposited on the thermochromic ink layer 30 on the back of glass cover plate 10, together providing excellent wear resistance and effectively protecting glass cover plate 10 and thermochromic ink layer 30 from scratches; the thermochromic ink increases the fun and interactivity of the product, while the screen printing process can customize various patterns, enhancing the visual appeal of the product; copper chromium zirconium alloy layer 23 provides glass cover plate 10 with excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, and niobium nitride layer 41, niobium carbide layer 22, and tantalum carbide layer 42 together play a role in extending the service life of glass cover plate 10; the selection and combination of multi-layer materials not only enhances the physical properties of the cover plate, but also improves its thermal conductivity and electromagnetic shielding performance to a certain extent.
[0044] Secondly, this utility model provides a display module, which includes the aforementioned coated cover plate.
[0045] This invention achieves a comprehensive improvement in the performance of the glass cover 10 by combining materials with different properties. First, a vanadium nitride layer 21 and a niobium carbide layer 22 are deposited on the surface of the glass cover 10. Utilizing the high hardness and wear resistance of vanadium nitride and niobium carbide, the scratch resistance and wear resistance of the glass cover 10 surface are significantly enhanced, while maintaining good chemical and thermal stability. Next, a copper-chromium-zirconium alloy layer 23 is deposited on top of the niobium carbide layer 22. This alloy not only possesses excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance but also electrical and thermal conductivity, which helps improve the product's heat dissipation performance and electromagnetic shielding capabilities. A thermochromic ink layer 30 is screen-printed on the border area on the back of the glass cover 10, giving the product a unique sense of fun and interactivity. At the same time, the screen-printing process is flexible and versatile, allowing for the customization of diverse patterns and enhancing the product's aesthetics. To prevent damage to the thermochromic ink layer 30, a niobium nitride layer 41 and a tantalum carbide layer 42 are deposited under the thermochromic ink layer 30. These two high-hardness and high-wear-resistant materials can effectively prevent the thermochromic ink layer 30 from being scratched and protect it from environmental influences, extending its service life and achieving a comprehensive improvement in wear resistance, aesthetics, durability and performance.
[0046] Furthermore, a first plastic block 50 and a second plastic block 60 are respectively provided on both sides of the bottom of the second coating layer 40. The second plastic block 60 is provided with a plastic groove 61. When multiple glass cover plates 10 are assembled, the first plastic block 50 of one of the glass cover plates 10 is placed into the plastic groove 61 of the adjacent glass cover plate 10. Multiple glass cover plates 10 can be assembled without additional mechanical parts, which can form large cover plates of different sizes. This avoids the need to make independent molds for each size of cover plate. Only the cover plate module needs to be molded, which is convenient for assembly and reduces production costs.
[0047] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of the present invention.
