Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] As described in the background art, with the popularization of electronic products and the increasing richness of their functions, the requirements for glass covers are also constantly improving. Traditional glass covers are insufficient in terms of aesthetics and personalization, making it difficult to meet the market's demand for high-quality, high-value-added products. This is especially true in the field of handheld devices such as smartphones and tablets, where users pay particular attention to product appearance and personalized expression, which existing covers cannot satisfy.

[0033] To solve this technical problem, this utility model provides a multifunctional coated cover plate, which is applied in the field of cover plates.

[0034] For details, please refer to Figure 1-3 The multifunctional coated cover plate specifically includes a substrate 1, which has a front side and a back side. The front side of the substrate 1 is sequentially stacked with an iron-molybdenum alloy coating layer 2, an iron-molybdenum carbide coating layer 3, and an iron-titanium alloy coating layer 4. The back side of the substrate 1 is sequentially stacked with a thermochromic ink layer 5 and a protective layer. The thermochromic ink layer 5 can change color at different temperatures.

[0035] The multifunctional coated cover plate provided by this utility model uses a high-strength and corrosion-resistant iron-titanium alloy coating layer 4 as a wear-resistant layer, an iron-molybdenum carbide coating layer 3 to further enhance hardness and wear resistance, and an iron-molybdenum alloy coating layer 2 as a transition layer to enhance the bonding force with other coating layers and improve overall thermal conductivity and mechanical strength.

The thermochromic ink layer 5 on the back of the substrate 1 increases the fun and interactivity of the product, improves the user experience, and enhances the product's aesthetics.

Through precise process control, the entire coating layer structure achieves tight bonding and complementary performance between the layers, improving the multifunctionality and overall performance of the cover plate, and meeting the high performance requirements of high-end electronic products.

[0036] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0038] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1-3 A multifunctional coated cover plate is provided, comprising a substrate 1 having a front and a back. The front of the substrate 1 is sequentially stacked with an iron-molybdenum alloy coating layer 2, an iron-molybdenum carbide coating layer 3, and an iron-titanium alloy coating layer 4. The iron-molybdenum alloy coating layer 2 is bonded to the front of the substrate 1. The iron-molybdenum carbide coating layer 3 is coated on the surface of the iron-molybdenum alloy coating layer 2, and the iron-titanium alloy coating layer 4 is coated on the surface of the iron-molybdenum carbide coating layer 3. The back of the substrate 1 is sequentially stacked with a thermochromic ink layer 5 and a protective layer. The thermochromic ink layer 5 can change color at different temperatures.

[0041] Substrate 1 serves as the base for the coating layer, providing basic transparency and structural support. Substrate 1 can be a transparent glass plate or a transparent acrylic plate. In this example, substrate 1 is a transparent glass plate. Of course, when substrate 1 is used in a display device, it can also be made of a flexible transparent material, allowing the cover to be folded. This makes it suitable for flexible and foldable display device accessories. It can be made of transparent, soft, and foldable materials such as UTG (Ultra Thin Glass), CPI (Colorless Polyimide), and PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate).

[0042] The thickness of the iron-molybdenum alloy coating layer 2 is 30-50 nanometers, the thickness of the iron-molybdenum carbide coating layer 3 is 60-80 nanometers, and the thickness of the iron-titanium alloy coating layer 4 is 60-70 nanometers. The iron-titanium alloy in the iron-titanium alloy coating layer 4 combines the excellent properties of iron and titanium, possessing high strength, good corrosion resistance, and a certain degree of hardness, and can serve as a wear-resistant layer to protect the glass cover. The iron-molybdenum carbide in the iron-molybdenum carbide coating layer 3 has high hardness, good wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, which can further enhance the scratch resistance and wear resistance of the cover. The iron-molybdenum alloy in the iron-molybdenum alloy coating layer 2 not only has high hardness but also good thermal conductivity and mechanical strength, and can serve as a transition layer to improve the adhesion with the inner coating layer and enhance the overall performance.

[0043] Furthermore, the iron-molybdenum alloy coating layer 2, the iron-molybdenum carbide coating layer 3, and the iron-titanium alloy coating layer 4 are all dense and uniform thin films formed on the surface of the substrate 1 by physical or chemical methods (such as sputtering, evaporation, CVD, etc.).

[0044] Specifically, the Fe2Ti alloy coating is achieved through metal alloy co-deposition using magnetron sputtering. Specifically, it employs a dual-target co-sputtering technique using Fe and Ti. In an argon atmosphere, high-energy particles bombard the target, causing Fe and Ti atoms to sputter onto the substrate surface to form an alloy layer. This sputtering deposition process is mature and suitable for the uniform deposition of metal alloys. Furthermore, the composition can be controlled by adjusting the target power ratio. Alternatively, arc ion plating can be used. This method involves evaporating Fe and Ti targets using an electric arc to generate a highly ionized metal plasma, which is then deposited onto the substrate surface. This method combines high deposition rates with excellent film adhesion, making it particularly suitable for applications requiring high wear resistance.

[0045] In Fe2MoC (iron-molybdenum carbide) coatings, iron-molybdenum carbide is a carbon-containing metal carbide composite layer. A carbon source needs to be introduced to react with the metal. This is achieved using reactive sputtering, specifically employing a dual Fe and Mo target. During sputtering, methane (CH4) or acetylene (C2H2) is introduced as the carbon source. The metal atoms react with carbon on the substrate surface to form a Fe-Mo-C composite carbide layer. By adjusting the gas flow rate and sputtering power, the carbon content and film hardness can be optimized. Alternatively, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) can be used, employing organic precursors of Fe and Mo (such as carbonyl compounds) as raw materials. These precursors decompose in a plasma environment and react with hydrocarbon gases to generate Fe-Mo-C thin films.

[0046] The FeMo alloy coating is prepared using metal co-deposition technology, specifically ion plating. This involves using a dual-cathode arc source with Fe and Mo as the substrate. The metal target is evaporated by the arc, and ion bombardment cleans the substrate surface and enhances film adhesion. This method results in rapid film formation and a dense film, suitable for alloy coatings requiring high adhesion. Alternatively, co-sputtering can be used: Fe and Mo are simultaneously sputtered and deposited in an argon atmosphere. By adjusting the target power and gas pressure, the alloy composition ratio can be precisely controlled, making it suitable for applications requiring high compositional uniformity.

[0047] The thickness of the thermochromic ink layer 5 is 6-9 micrometers. The thermochromic ink layer 5 has a color-changing ink pattern made by screen printing with color-changing ink. The color-changing ink pattern can be a decorative pattern that changes color according to temperature changes, increasing the fun and interactivity of the product. At the same time, the screen printing process is flexible and can design a variety of patterns and colors, enhancing the aesthetics of the product.

[0048] The protective layer includes an iron carbide layer 6 and a molybdenum carbide layer 7. The iron carbide layer 6 covers the surface of the thermochromic ink layer 5, and the molybdenum carbide layer 7 covers the surface of the iron carbide layer 6. The thickness of the iron carbide layer 6 is 10-20 nanometers, and the thickness of the molybdenum carbide layer 7 is 20-30 nanometers. As a protective layer, the iron carbide can effectively prevent the ink layer from being scratched. At the same time, its high hardness also enhances the scratch resistance of the cover plate. The molybdenum carbide also has high hardness and excellent wear resistance, which can further protect the area under the ink layer and ensure the durability and aesthetics of the ink pattern. The iron carbide layer 6 and the molybdenum carbide layer 7 are also coating layers, which form a dense and uniform thin film on the surface of the substrate 1 through physical or chemical methods (such as sputtering, vapor deposition, CVD, etc.).

[0049] The iron carbide layer is prepared by chemical vapor deposition. The precursor is carbonyl iron (such as Fe(CO)5) and carbon source (such as CH4). Process conditions: temperature: 300-500℃ (high temperature resistant glass, such as quartz glass is required). H2 / Ar mixed gas is introduced to promote the decomposition of Fe(CO)5 into Fe and CO. CH4 cracking provides active carbon, which reacts with Fe to generate Fe3C.

[0050] The molybdenum carbide layer was prepared by reactive sputtering with a molybdenum target and an Ar / CH4 mixed gas. Parameter control: the CH4 ratio and sputtering power were adjusted to allow Mo to react with C to generate Mo2C. Substrate cooling: the glass temperature was kept below 200°C to avoid softening.

[0051] It is understood that the materials and processes used to prepare the above-mentioned membranes are existing technologies, and this invention has not improved them. Other preparation processes can also be used, and will not be described in detail here.

[0052] The substrate 1 includes a visible area 11 and a non-visible area 12 arranged around the visible area 11. A thermochromic ink layer 5 is disposed in the non-visible area 12. The thermochromic ink layer 5 is disposed in the entire non-visible area 12 on the back side of the substrate 1. When the cover plate is used as a display cover plate, the color change of the thermochromic ink layer will not affect the display effect.

[0053] The multifunctional coated cover plate underwent performance testing, and the test results are as follows:

[0055] The test results above show that the multifunctional coated cover plate in this embodiment has good performance in physical properties, optical properties, chemical stability and electrical properties, strong comprehensive performance and fast response speed of the thermochromic ink layer.

[0056] Example 2

[0057] The multifunctional coated cover plate provided in Embodiment 1 is further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 4-6 As shown, the back of the substrate 1, in the non-visible area 12, has a black ink layer 8 surrounding the thermochromic ink layer 5. A protective layer covers the black ink layer 8. The back of the substrate 1 also has shallow etching grooves 9, within which the thermochromic ink layer 5 is located. The shallow etching grooves 9 increase the thickness of the thermochromic ink layer 5 and reduce wear, thus maintaining the thermochromic function for a longer period. Multiple shallow etching grooves 9 can be arranged around the visible area 11 to further enhance aesthetics and functionality. Different temperature-sensitive color-changing inks can be etched within each shallow etching groove 9, resulting in different color changes on the cover at different temperatures, increasing the product's appeal and providing an indication function for the user. The color-changing ink layer can be a temperature label or other patterns for easy viewing. The black ink layer 8 also acts as a light-shielding element. The black ink layer 8 and the thermochromic ink layer 5 are prepared using screen printing or inkjet printing.

[0058] Example 3

[0059] The multifunctional coated cover plate provided in Example 2 has been further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 7-8 As shown, the bottom of the shallow etching groove 9 is etched with a patterned groove 10. In this example, the patterned groove 10 is a logo pattern. The thermochromic ink layer 5 is located inside the patterned groove 10. The bottom of the shallow etching groove 9, which avoids the patterned groove 10, is provided with a black ink layer 8, so that the thermochromic ink layer 5 is only screen-printed inside the patterned groove 10, forming a color-changing pattern on the surface of the cover plate, increasing the aesthetics. The etching depth of the shallow etching groove 9 and the patterned groove 10 is 6-15 micrometers, and the etching depth of the patterned groove 10 is greater than the etching depth of the shallow etching groove 9.

[0060] The working principle of the multifunctional coated cover provided by this utility model is as follows: A strong scratch-resistant barrier is formed by the iron-titanium alloy coating layer 4, the iron-molybdenum carbide coating layer 3, the iron-molybdenum alloy coating layer 2, the iron carbide layer 6, and the molybdenum carbide layer 7. This ensures that the cover maintains a smooth and undamaged surface under various usage conditions. Each layer has high hardness, significantly improving the cover's wear resistance and extending its service life. The thermochromic ink increases the product's fun and interactivity, enhancing the user experience. At the same time, diverse pattern and color designs also improve the product's aesthetics. The iron carbide and molybdenum carbide layers 7, as inner protective layers, effectively prevent scratches on the ink layer, ensuring the durability and aesthetics of the ink pattern. Through precise process control, the entire coating structure achieves a tight bond and complementary performance between the layers, improving the cover's multifunctionality and overall performance, meeting the high performance requirements of high-end electronic products.
