Patent Images
1. A portable electronic device comprising:
- an LCD pane;
a backlight unit; and
a chassis at least partially surrounding the LCD pane and backlight unit, wherein the chassis is at least partially coated with a conductive material, wherein the conductive material is coupled to a system ground in the portable electronic device, wherein an outer surface of the chassis is coated with the conductive material, the outer surface opposite the LCD pane and backlight unit, wherein an inner surface of the chassis is free of a conductive material coating, the inner surface opposite the outer surface.

Abstract
A coated chassis is disclosed. The chassis can be made from a non-conductive material and can be operable to support a display. A conductive material can be applied to at least a portion of the chassis to form a continuous strip on the chassis frame. The conductive material can further form a closed-loop around the chassis frame. The chassis frame can be included within a device, such as a mobile phone, touchpad, portable computer, portable media player, and the like. The conductive material on the chassis can be coupled to the system ground of the device. Processes for making a coated chassis are also disclosed.
