Abstract
The present disclosure is drawn to covers for electronic devices. In one example, a cover for an electronic device can include a cover substrate, a primer layer on the substrate, a radiation-cured coating layer on the primer layer, a colorant coating layer on the radiation-cured coating layer, and a clear coating layer on the colorant coating layer. The radiation-cured layer can include a three-dimensional pattern impressed into the radiation-cured coating layer. The colorant layer can conform to the three-dimensional pattern.
Claims15
A cover for an electronic device comprising:
- a cover substrate;
- a primer layer on the substrate;
- a radiation-cured coating layer on the primer layer, wherein the radiation-cured coating layer includes a three-dimensional pattern impressed into to the radiation-cured coating layer;
- a colorant coating layer on the radiation-cured coating layer, wherein the colorant coating layer conforms to the three-dimensional pattern;
- and
- a clear coating layer on the colorant coating layer.
An electronic device comprising:
- an electronic component;
- and
- a cover enclosing the electronic component, the cover comprising:
- a cover substrate,
- a primer layer on the substrate,
- is a radiation-cured coating layer on the primer layer, wherein the radiation-cured coating layer includes a three-dimensional pattern impressed into the radiation-cured coating layer,
- a colorant coating layer on the radiation-cured coating layer, wherein the colorant coating layer conforms to the three-dimensional pattern, and
- a clear coating layer on the colorant coating layer.
A method of making a cover for an electronic device comprising:
- applying a primer composition to a cover substrate to form a primer layer;
- applying a radiation-curable coating composition on the primer layer;
- impressing a three-dimensional pattern into the radiation-curable coating composition;
- applying radiation to cure the radiation-curable coating composition to form a radiation-cured coating layer;
- applying a colorant coating composition on the radiation-cured coating layer to form a colorant coating layer, wherein the colorant coating layer conforms to the three-dimensional pattern;
- and
- applying a clear coating layer on the colorant coating layer.
