Abstract
Disclosed is a mobile terminal and a method for fabricating a case thereof, the mobile terminal comprising a case defining an appearance of the mobile terminal, wherein the case includes a first base formed of a transparent material, a plurality of recess portions recessed into one surface of the first base, and a second base having a surface facing the plurality of recess portions, and disposed to be overlaid on the plurality of recess portions so as to form empty spaces defined by the plurality of recess portions and the surface facing the plurality of recess portions.
Claims21
A case for defining an exterior of a mobile terminal, the case comprising:
- a first base having a transparent portion and a first surface;
- a plurality of recess portions provided in the first surface of the first base;
- and
- a second base having a first surface facing the plurality of recess portions, the second base overlying said first surface of the first base so as to form empty spaces defined by the plurality of recess portions and the first surface of the second base.
A mobile terminal comprising:
- a case including:
- a first base having a transparent portion and a first surface;
- a plurality of recess portions provided in the first surface of the first base;
- and
- a second base having a first surface facing the plurality of recess portions, the second base overlying said first surface of the first base so as to form empty spaces defined by the plurality of recess portions and the first surface of the second base;
- and
- at least one light source mounted adjacent to the case and configured to emit light to the plurality of recess portions.
A method for fabricating a case of a mobile terminal comprising:
- forming a first base having a plurality of recess portions in a first surface thereof;
- forming a second base having a first surface facing the plurality of recess portions so as to form empty spaces defined by the plurality of recess portions and the first surface of the second base;
- and
- coupling the first and second bases to each other,
- wherein the forming of the first base includes one of depositing a material cured by ultraviolet ray (UV) irradiation on a mold having a plurality of protrusions corresponding to the plurality of recess portions and forming the plurality of recess portions by cutting the first surface of the first base.
