Abstract
A casing having a light guide structure and an electronic device having the light guide structure are provided. The light guide structure includes a transparent decorative member and a light guide film which are attached together. At least one light entrance is provided on the light guide film for guiding light emitted by a light-emitting source into the light guide film. Screen printing processing is performed on a first surface of the transparent decorative member attached to the light guide film, so that the light entering at the light entrance of the light guide film uniformly exits from the transparent decorative member.
Claims18
A casing comprising:
- a frame and a light guide structure disposed on the frame;
- wherein, the light guide structure comprises a transparent decorative member and a light guide film which are attached together, at least one light entrance is provided on the light guide film for guiding light emitted by a light-emitting source;
- and a first surface of the transparent decorative member attached to the light guide film is provided with an ink area, so that the light entering at the light entrance of the light guide film uniformly exits from the transparent decorative member, wherein the at least one light entrance, the light-emitting source, and the ink area are aligned, and wherein the ink area is light-transmissive.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a middle frame comprising at least one side plate, wherein the side plate is configured to disposed on a periphery of the electronic device;
- a light-emitting source disposed on an inner side of the side plate;
- and
- a light guide structure disposed on an outer side of the side plate;
- wherein the light-emitting source and the light guide structure are respectively disposed at two opposite sides of the side plate, and the light guide structure is configured to guide light emitted from the light-emitting source to outside of the frame,
- wherein the light guide structure comprises a transparent decorative member and a light guide film that are attached together, the light guide film defines at least one light entrance configured for guiding light emitted by the light-emitting source, and the transparent decorative member has a printing surface that is provided with an ink area,
- wherein a thickness of a part of the ink area formed on a position of the printing surface corresponding to each light entrance of the light guide film is larger than a thickness of a part of the ink area formed on other positions of the printing surface, and
- wherein the light-emitting source, the at least one light entrance, and the ink area are aligned, and the ink area is light transmissive.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a casing comprising a side plate, the side plate having a first surface and a second surface being opposite to the first surface, and the side plate recessing from the first surface towards the second surface to define a recess;
- a light guide assembly disposed in the recess;
- and
- a light-emitting source arranged on the second surface and received in the casing, wherein the light-emitting source and the light guide assembly are respectively located at two sides of the second surface, and the light guide assembly is configured to guide light emitted from the light-emitting source to outside of the casing,
- wherein the light guide assembly comprises a transparent decorative member and a light guide film that are attached together, at least one light entrance is provided on the light guide film for guiding light emitted by the light-emitting source, and a printing surface of the transparent decorative member is provided with an ink area, and
- wherein the light-emitting source, the at least one light entrance, and the ink area are aligned, and the ink area is light transmissive.
