Abstract
A window member includes: a glass member; a display member wherein the glass member has a bottom surface which faces and overlays the display member and a pattern layer provided on a first surface of the glass member and having a fine pattern. The pattern layer is silk-screen printed on the first surface of the glass member to directly contact the surface of the glass member. A method of manufacturing a window member, includes: forming a pattern layer such that the pattern layer contacts a surface of the glass member along a periphery of the glass member. The pattern layer is formed at a location which is offset inward from a periphery of the glass member.
Claims35
An electronic device comprising:
- an external housing comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;
- a first layer that is substantially transparent and forms at least a part of an outer surface of the first surface, in at least a partial area of at least one of the first surface and the second surface;
- a second layer that includes a material different from a material of the first layer and faces the first layer;
- a third layer that includes a material different from materials of the first and second layers, is inserted between the first layer and the second layer, and includes a surface facing the first layer and a surface facing the second layer, wherein the surface facing the first layer is in contact with the first layer;
- and
- a fourth layer that includes a material, which is different from materials of the first to third layers and has reflexibility, and is inserted between the second layer and the third layer,
- wherein the surface of the third layer, which faces the second layer, includes a repeated pattern of protrusions protruding toward the second layer.
A method of manufacturing an electronic device, the method comprising:
- locating, on a first jig, at least one first layer formed on at least a partial area of a first surface or a second surface of an external housing including the first surface and the second surface opposite to the second surface;
- locating a spillover removal film member in a periphery of the first layer;
- placing an ultraviolet curing resin at the periphery of the first layer or on a surface of the first layer;
- locating a fine pattern on one surface of the first layer and a film member forming an opaque shielding region along a periphery of the fine pattern;
- transferring the fine pattern by pressurizing the second jig located on the first jig;
- forming a third layer including a repeated pattern protruding toward one surface of the first layer and an offset formed along an outer periphery of the repeated pattern, by curing the ultraviolet curing resin on which the film member is placed;
- laminating a fourth layer including a material which is different from materials of the first layer and the third layer and has reflexibility, on the repeated pattern of the third layer;
- and
- laminating a second layer made of an opaque material on a surface of the fourth layer.
