## Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing at least one processor disposed in the housing and including processing circuitry, wherein the housing includes a glass including a first glass surface visually exposed to an outside of the housing and an irregular pattern formed on the first glass surface, and a reflective layer disposed on the irregular pattern and formed to correspond to a shape of the irregular pattern and a second surface facing the outside of the housing and spaced apart from the first surface by a designated distance.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electronic device comprising:
a housing; and
at least one processor disposed in the housing and including processing circuitry,
wherein the housing includes:
a glass including a first glass surface visually exposed to an outside of the housing and an irregular pattern formed on the first glass surface, and
a reflective layer disposed on the irregular pattern and formed to correspond to a shape of the irregular pattern, the reflective layer including a first surface covering at least a portion of the irregular pattern and a second surface facing an outside of the housing and spaced apart from the first surface by a designated distance.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the reflective layer includes a first reflective layer deposited on the glass and a second reflective layer deposited on at least a portion of the first reflective layer.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The electronic device of claim 2,
wherein the glass includes a first area where the first reflective layer is positioned and a second area where the first reflective layer and the second reflective layer are positioned, and
wherein a refractive index of the first area is different from a refractive index of the second area.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The electronic device of claim 2, wherein the second reflective layer includes an upper surface portion disposed on the first glass surface and a side surface portion disposed on the first reflective layer.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The electronic device of claim 2, wherein a material of the first reflective layer is different from a material of the second reflective layer.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the reflective layer includes silicon oxide.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the designated distance between the first surface and the second surface is 100 nm to 2000 nm.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the glass includes a second glass surface opposite to the first glass surface and a rear irregular pattern formed on the second glass surface.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the housing includes a shielding layer disposed under the rear irregular pattern.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the housing includes a deposition layer disposed under the glass and disposed under the rear irregular pattern and a shielding layer disposed under the deposition layer.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the housing includes:
an adhesive layer disposed under the glass;
a polymer film disposed under the adhesive layer; and
a shielding layer disposed under the polymer film.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the second surface of the reflective layer has a curved surface formed using a polishing process.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the housing includes an anti-fingerprint coating layer disposed on the glass.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1,
wherein the glass includes a third glass surface extending from the first glass surface and forming the irregular pattern, and
wherein the reflective layer covers at least a portion of the third glass surface.

### Claim 15

A method for manufacturing a housing of an electronic device, the method comprising:
preparing glass including an irregular pattern;
depositing a reflective layer on the irregular pattern of the glass; and
polishing the housing.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The method of claim 15, wherein the preparing of the glass includes randomly forming the irregular pattern on the glass using at least one of a cutting process, a wet etching process, or a dry blasting process.

### Claim 17 (depends on 15)

The method of claim 15, wherein the reflective layer includes a first reflective layer and a second reflective layer.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The method of claim 17, wherein the depositing of the reflective layer includes:
depositing the first reflective layer on the glass; and
depositing the second reflective layer on the first reflective layer.

### Claim 19

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor individually or collectively, cause an electronic device to perform operations, the operations comprising:
preparing glass including an irregular pattern;
depositing a reflective layer on the irregular pattern of the glass; and
polishing a housing.

### Claim 20 (depends on 19)

The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 19, the operations further comprising:
randomly forming the irregular pattern on the glass.
