Abstract

An electronic device is disclosed, comprising: a transparent body including an outer surface and an inner surface on opposite sides; a transparent film deposed on the outer surface of the transparent body; an opaque film deposed on the inner surface of the transparent body, wherein a pattern structure is formed in the opaque film, and the pattern structure exposes a portion of the inner surface of the transparent body; and a light source corresponding to a location of the pattern structure.

Claims

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a transparent body including an outer surface and an inner surface on opposite sides;

a transparent film deposed on the outer surface of the transparent body;

an opaque film deposed on the inner surface of the transparent body, wherein a pattern structure is formed in the opaque film, and the pattern structure exposes a portion of the inner surface of the transparent body; and

a light source corresponding to a location of the pattern structure.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the electronic device is a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant, a desktop computer, a notebook computer or a portable video device.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein a material of the transparent body is selected from the group consisting of polycarbonate, acryl and a combination thereof.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the transparent film is pearl white paint.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein a thickness of the transparent film is between about 5.m and about 50.m.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein a thickness of the transparent film is between about 25.m and about 30.m.
