Coupling structures for electronic device housings
A housing for an electronic device is disclosed. The housing comprises a first component and a second component separated from the first component by a gap. The housing also includes a first molded element disposed at least partially within the gap and defining at least a portion of an interlock feature, and a second molded element disposed at least partially within the gap and mechanically engaging the interlock feature. The first component, the second component, and the second molded element form a portion of an exterior surface of the housing. A method of forming the housing is also disclosed.
Three-Dimensional, Seamless and Colored Cover for an Electronic Device
A seamless three-dimensional cover (1) for an electronic device (2), the seamless three-dimensional cover (1) comprising of at least one glass base layer (3) and at least one glass rim layer (4). At least one layer of color inducing film (5) is arranged between at least one of the base layer (3) and the rim layer (4), or between two adjacent rim layers (4). The base layer (3), the rim layer(s) (4), and the layer of color inducing film (5) are fused together to form the seamless three-dimensional cover (1). This facilitates a strong and durable three-dimensional cover, which cover is translucent as well as at least partially colored. Furthermore, the cover does not affect the function of components such as millimeter-wave antennas.

GRADATION COVER GLASS USING COLOR GLASS AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
According to various embodiments of the disclosure, an electronic device may comprise a cover glass covering at least a first surface. The cover glass may include a color glass including an end having a first thickness and an end having a second thickness different from the first thickness and configured to sequentially vary in thickness from the first thickness to the second thickness, an attaching layer disposed under the color glass and including a shape corresponding to the sequentially varying shape of the color glass, and a printed layer disposed under the attaching layer.
Corrosion resistance for anodized parts having convex surface features
Anodic oxide coatings that provide corrosion resistance to parts having protruding features, such as edges, corners and convex-shaped features, are described. According to some embodiments, the anodic oxide coatings include an inner porous layer and an outer porous layer. The inner layer is adjacent to an underlying metal substrate and is formed under compressive stress anodizing conditions that allow the inner porous layer to be formed generally crack-free. In this way, the inner porous layer acts as a barrier that prevents water or other corrosion-inducing agents from reaching the underlying metal substrate. The outer porous layer can be thicker and harder than the inner porous layer, thereby increasing the overall hardness of the anodic oxide coating.
Electronic device including housing
An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes: a window; a display disposed in a first direction of the window; a housing including a first surface and a second surface extended from the first surface toward the window; a first film layer disposed on an inner surface of the housing and including: a first area that overlaps at least a portion of the first surface and is substantially transparent or translucent; and a second area that is extended from an edge of the first area along the second surface, and is substantially opaque; and a second film layer disposed on the first film layer in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the second film layer overlapping an entirety of the first area of the first film layer and overlapping a portion of the second area. Other embodiments are possible.
Patterned bonded glass layers in electronic devices
An electronic device may include electrical components and other components mounted within an interior of a housing. The device may have a display on a front face of the device and may have a glass layer that forms a housing wall on a rear face of the device. The glass housing wall may be provided with regions having different appearances.
