[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a glass cover plate 10 according to this example includes:

[0034] Glass substrate 1;

[0035] The multilayer composite coating layer 2 is disposed on the front side of the glass substrate 1. The composite coating layer 2 consists of niobium pentoxide layer 21, potassium oxide layer 22, and nickel aluminum layer 23 from the surface of the glass substrate 1 outward.

[0036] The composite protective layer 3 is disposed in the back frame area of ​​the glass substrate 1. The composite protective layer 3 consists of a photosensitive color-changing ink layer 31 and a chromium carbide layer 32, arranged sequentially from the surface of the glass substrate 1 outwards.

[0037] The glass substrate 1 has a ring of protrusions extending outwards from the center, forming a ring of protrusions 11. These protrusions 11 are used for fastening and assembling with the housing of the electronic device. The protrusions 11 and the glass substrate 1 can be integrally formed, or they can be formed by gluing them together.

[0038] Of the above, niobium pentoxide possesses high hardness, a high melting point, and good chemical stability, effectively improving the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the glass cover plate 10, as well as its good adhesion to glass. The potassium oxide layer 22 further enhances the chemical stability and hardness of the cover plate, working synergistically with the niobium pentoxide layer 21 to provide more comprehensive protection. The nickel-aluminum layer 23, with its high hardness, wear resistance, and good oxidation resistance, provides additional protection for the cover plate and maintains surface smoothness.

[0039] With its extremely high hardness and wear resistance, the chromium carbide layer 32 serves as a protective layer for the ink layer, effectively preventing the ink from being scratched or worn, and ensuring the functionality and integrity of the ink layer.

[0040] In summary, the glass cover 10 provides multiple protective functions and enhances visual appeal. Furthermore, the glass cover 10 also features a protrusion 11 for fastening and assembling with the rear casing of electronic devices, facilitating installation.

[0041] Preferably, the thickness of the protrusion 11 is 1 / 5 to 1 / 4 of the thickness of the entire glass substrate 1.

[0042] Preferably, the niobium pentoxide layer 21 has a thickness of 10-20 nm, the potassium oxide layer 22 has a thickness of 10-20 nm, the nickel-aluminum layer 23 has a thickness of 5-15 nm, the photosensitive color-changing ink layer 31 has a thickness of 8-12 μm, and the chromium carbide layer 32 has a thickness of 20-50 nm.

[0043] Preferably, the niobium pentoxide layer 21 is deposited using a magnetron sputtering process, and the crystal structure within the layer is monoclinic, with the grain size controlled in the range of 5-8 nm.

[0044] Preferably, the surface roughness Ra of the nickel-aluminum layer 23 is ≤0.05μm.

[0045] Preferably, the chromium carbide layer 32 has a nanocrystalline structure with a grain size of 10-30 nm, a Vickers hardness of ≥2200 HV, and an internal residual compressive stress of 1.5-2.5 GPa.

[0046] Preferably, the photosensitive color-changing ink layer 31 contains spiropyran-based photochromic microcapsules with a diameter of 50-100 nm and a color-changing response wavelength of 300-550 nm. It changes color according to changes in light, providing a dynamic visual effect and increasing the product's interest and aesthetics.

[0047] Preferably, the glass substrate 1 is chemically strengthened soda-lime glass with a surface compressive stress layer depth ≥30μm and a surface compressive stress ≥600MPa.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] like Figure 3-5As shown, this embodiment presents a testing fixture for testing the appearance quality of a glass cover plate 10 as described above. The fixture body 20 includes a first groove 201 and a second groove 203. The first groove 201 and the second groove 203 are connected in a stepped manner. A slot 202 is provided on the inner wall of the first groove 201 to engage with the protrusion 11 of the glass cover plate 10. The glass cover plate 10 can move parallel along the slot 202. The first groove 201 is used to accommodate the glass cover plate 10, and the second groove 203 is used to accommodate the AMOLED display screen, the TFT display screen 30, and the backlight.

[0050] Preferably, the fixture body 20 is closed on three sides and has a window on the top surface. An opening 204 is provided on the side of the fixture body 20 near the top surface for pushing in the glass cover plate 10. The second groove 203 is provided with areas for accommodating the AMOLED display, the TFT display 30 and the backlight, respectively.

[0051] In the specific implementation of the test, such as Figure 4 As shown, the glass cover 10 is pushed into the fixture through the opening 204, and then pushed to the area above the AMOLED display for testing; it is pushed down to the area above the TFT display 30 for testing; and then pushed down to the area above the backlight area for testing. This testing method is convenient and simple, and eliminates the need for pasting before testing, which would otherwise result in wasted costs if there are quality issues.

[0052] Of course, the testing fixture also needs to include a lighting device and other testing equipment for testing the screen quality. Those skilled in the art can use these devices for testing based on existing technology, but the specifics will not be elaborated here.

[0053] This invention proposes a layered structure for the cover plate coating, based on advanced materials science and coating technology. By precisely controlling the thickness and combination of each layer, it achieves a comprehensive upgrade to the performance of the glass cover plate. The front coating layer adopts a three-layer structure of niobium pentoxide, potassium oxide, and nickel-aluminum alloy, which are sequentially stacked on the glass substrate to form a robust protective barrier. The niobium pentoxide layer, with its high hardness, high melting point, and good chemical stability, provides basic protection for the cover plate; the potassium oxide layer further enhances the chemical stability and hardness of the cover plate; and the nickel-aluminum alloy layer, with its excellent wear resistance and oxidation resistance, ensures the smoothness and long-term stability of the cover plate surface. The back frame area innovatively introduces a photosensitive color-changing ink layer and a chromium carbide protective layer. The former gives the cover plate a unique visual effect, while the latter, with its high hardness and wear resistance, effectively protects the ink layer from scratches or wear. The overall structural design is scientific and reasonable, with each layer of materials complementing each other to jointly improve the physical properties, chemical stability, and visual appeal of the cover plate, bringing a brand-new user experience and market competitiveness to electronic products.

[0054] Furthermore, this application provides a protrusion in the middle of the glass cover, which can be snapped together with the back cover of the electronic device for easy installation. Even further, this invention also protects a testing fixture for combining and testing the effect of the cover to be protected with an AMOLED display, a TFT display, and a backlight. This eliminates the need for post-assembly quality inspection, making operation convenient, time-saving, labor-saving, and cost-effective.

[0055] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
