Abstract
Proposed is a mobile device case that accommodates or covers a substrate and an electronic element located on the substrate. The case includes: a case frame made of a high molecular material including a resin and having a cover part for accommodating or covering the substrate and protrusions protruding from the cover part in such a manner as to be extended close to the electronic element; and a metal coating layer formed by coating a metal on a surface of the case frame including the protrusions to improve electromagnetic shielding ability.
Claims2
A method for coating a mobile device case for accommodating or covering a substrate and an electronic element located on the substrate, the method comprising:
- providing a case frame made of a high molecular material including a resin, wherein the case frame includes:
- a cover accommodating or covering the substrate, and
- protrusions protruding from the cover to be extended adjacent to the electronic element;
- allowing the case frame to be subjected to hot air drying to remove a cleaning agent and water from a surface of the case frame;
- allowing the surface of the case frame dried with hot air to be subjected to a cold plasma treatment to introduce polar functional groups to enable plating on the surface of the case frame;
- allowing the surface of the case frame to be subjected to a catalystic treatment and an activation treatment for post-processes;
- and
- forming a metal coating layer on the surface of the case frame by electroless plating.
