Abstract
A method for fabricating a window member for a display device of a portable terminal includes: fabricating a high-hardness sheet to be attached to a surface of the window member (‘sheet fabrication step’), fabricating a body of the window member with a high-polymer synthetic resin (‘body fabrication step’), and attaching the high-hardness sheet to an outer surface of the body (‘attaching step’), in which the outer surface of the body is formed to have a curved surface in the body fabrication step.
Claims18
A method for fabricating a window member for a display device of a portable terminal and for assembly of the fabricated window member to a housing of the portable terminal, the method comprising:
- fabricating a high-hardness sheet;
- fabricating a body of the window member with a high-polymer synthetic resin;
- providing a bezel or design onto the high-hardness sheet such that the bezel or design is disposed around the window member;
- and
- coupling the high-hardness sheet to an outer surface of the body, wherein the outer surface of the body is formed to have a curved surface when fabricating the body,
- assembling the window member to the housing of the portable terminal without an adhesive material there between,
- wherein the fabricating of the high-hardness sheet is performed according to a printed design via a Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) process.
A method for producing a window member for a portable terminal display device and for assembly of the produced window member to a housing of the portable terminal, comprising:
- providing a high-hardness sheet substantially defining a shape of the window member from a sheet material made of an organic/inorganic complex material or a glass material;
- providing a bezel or design onto the high-hardness sheet such that the bezel or design is disposed around the window member;
- fabricating a body of the window member having a curved shape with a high-polymer synthetic resin via an injection molding process;
- and
- coupling the high-hardness sheet to the fabricated body of the window member, and
- assembling the window member to the housing of the portable terminal without an adhesive material there between, and
- providing the bezel or design onto the sheet material and fabricating the body according to a printed design via a Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) process.
