Decorative layer 200 includes a light transmissive region 202 and an opaque region 204, with the ratio of the area of opaque region 204 to the area of light transmissive region 202 being graded.
When being applied to the printing opacity back cover of mobile terminal with above-mentioned decorating film 10, the non-printing opacity district 204 can shield the visual mobile terminal's of lid components and parts behind the printing opacity, and printing opacity district 202 can be visual the visual mobile terminal's of lid components and parts behind the printing opacity to can show mobile terminal's science and technology sense and artistic sense, can enrich mobile terminal's back cover visual effect again. And the ratio of the area of the non-light-transmitting area 204 to the area of the light-transmitting area 202 is gradually changed, so that the visual effect of the rear cover of the mobile terminal can be further enriched.
The gradual change of the ratio of the area of the non-light-transmitting region 204 to the area of the light-transmitting region 202 means that, in a certain direction (gradual change direction), the ratio of the area of the non-light-transmitting region 204 to the area of the light-transmitting region 202 gradually increases or gradually decreases, or the ratio of the area of the non-light-transmitting region 204 to the area of the light-transmitting region 202 alternately changes between gradual increase and gradual decrease, for example, the ratio of the area of the non-light-transmitting region 204 to the area of the light-transmitting region 202 gradually increases after gradually increases.
As shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments, the decoration layer 200 includes a plurality of non-light-transmitting blocks 210, the non-light-transmitting blocks 210 are arranged at intervals, the non-light-transmitting area 204 is an area of the decoration layer 200 corresponding to the non-light-transmitting blocks 210, and the light-transmitting area 202 is another area. In some embodiments, the non-transparent blocks 210 are arranged in an array, and the area of the non-transparent blocks 210 gradually increases in the gradient direction 12.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, if the density of the non-transparent blocks 210 is unchanged and the area of the non-transparent blocks 210 is gradually changed in terms of the ratio of the number of the non-transparent blocks 210 to the unit area of the transparent substrate 100, the visual effect of the rear cover of the mobile terminal is better. In other embodiments, the areas of the plurality of non-light-transmitting blocks 210 are the same, and the density of the non-light-transmitting blocks 210 gradually increases or gradually decreases in the gradient direction. Thus, the non-light-transmitting block 210 is convenient to manufacture.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the decoration layer 200 is provided with a plurality of through holes 220, the through holes 220 are arranged at intervals, the area of the decoration layer 200 corresponding to the through holes 220 is the light-transmitting area 202, and the other areas are the non-light-transmitting areas 204. In some embodiments, the plurality of through holes 202 are arranged in an array, and the area of the through holes 202 gradually increases or gradually decreases in the gradual direction. It should be noted that, in the embodiment shown in fig. 3 and 4, there are a plurality of gradation directions, the arrow 14 shown in fig. 3 and 4 can rotate 360 °, and the arrow 14 stopped at any position is a gradation direction.
In the embodiments shown in fig. 3 and 4, if the ratio of the number of the through holes 202 to the unit area of the transparent substrate 100 is considered, the density of the through holes 202 is not changed, and the area of the through holes 202 is gradually changed, so that the rear cover of the mobile terminal has a better visual effect. In other embodiments, the area of the plurality of through holes 202 is the same, and the density of the through holes 202 gradually increases or gradually decreases in the gradual direction. Thus, the fabrication of the non-via 202 is facilitated.
In some embodiments, the decoration layer 200 is a glare layer, that is, the material of the decoration layer 200 can exhibit glare under the irradiation of light, so that the rear cover of the mobile terminal has a glare effect.
In some embodiments, by controlling the ratio of the area of the non-light-transmitting area 204 to the area of the light-transmitting area 202, the whole decoration film 10 can be in a transition state, that is, the whole decoration film 10 is in a translucent state, so that all components of the mobile terminal visualized by the light-transmitting rear cover can be hidden and hidden by the decoration film 10.
As shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments, the decoration film 10 can include a transparent portion 10a, a transition portion 10b and a non-transparent portion 10c by controlling the ratio of the area of the non-transparent region 204 to the area of the transparent region 202. Therefore, when the decorative film 10 is applied to the light-transmitting rear cover of the mobile terminal, the non-transparent part 10c can almost completely shield part of components of the mobile terminal which is visualized by the light-transmitting rear cover, the transparent part 10a can almost completely visualize part of components of the mobile terminal which is visualized by the light-transmitting rear cover, the transition part 10b can enable part of components of the mobile terminal which is visualized by the light-transmitting rear cover to be hidden and appearing, the transparencies of the transparent part 10a, the transition part 10b and the non-transparent part 10c are different, the decorative film has a gradual change effect, and the visual effect of the rear cover of the mobile terminal can be enriched.
In application, the transparent portion 10a can make the circuit and chip more capable of showing the technological sense and artistic sense visible, and the non-transparent portion 10c can completely shield the battery with relatively small effect on improving the technological sense, artistic sense and identification degree. It can be understood that when the components of the mobile terminal are visualized, in order to obtain a better visual effect, the components to be visualized need to be beautified. By providing the decorative film 10 having the transparent portion 10a, the transition portion 10b, and the opaque portion 10c, only the components that need to be visualized can be selectively beautified, and the components that do not need to be beautified can be shielded by the opaque portion 10c, thereby reducing the production cost.
It should be noted that the non-transparent portion 10c is not absolutely opaque, but rather, the non-transparent portion 10c may function to shield internal elements under passing conditions, for example, when the transparency of the non-transparent portion 10c is less than 30%, the non-transparent portion 10c has a better shielding effect, in this case, the area of the transparent region 202 may be zero, or the area of the transparent region 202 is not zero, and the ratio of the area of the non-transparent region 204 to the area of the transparent region 202 is greater than one hundred. The transparent portion 10a is not absolutely transparent, but generally functions to visualize internal components, for example, when the transparency of the transparent portion 10a is greater than 70%, the transparent portion 10a has a better visualization effect, and in this case, the ratio of the area of the non-transparent region 204 to the area of the transparent region 202 is zero to one. As shown in fig. 2, the light-transmitting substrate 100 includes a first portion 102, a second portion 104, and a third portion 106, which are connected in sequence, wherein two dotted lines in fig. 2 are a boundary line between the first portion 102 and the second portion 104 and a decomposition line between the second portion 104 and the third portion 106, a ratio of an area of the non-light-transmitting region 204 of the first portion 102 to an area of the light-transmitting region 202, a ratio of an area of the non-light-transmitting region 204 of the second portion 104 to an area of the light-transmitting region 202, and a ratio of an area of the non-light-transmitting region 204 of the third portion 106 to an area of the light-transmitting region 202 are increased in sequence, the first portion 102 corresponds to the transparent portion 10a of the decoration film 10, the second portion 104 corresponds to the transition portion 10b of the decoration film 10, and the third portion 106 corresponds to the non-transparent portion 10c of the.
As shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments, in the directions of the first portion 102, the second portion 104, and the third portion 106, the ratio of the area of the non-transmissive region 204 of the first portion 102 to the area of the transmissive region 202 gradually increases, the ratio of the area of the non-transmissive region 204 of the second portion 104 to the area of the transmissive region 202 gradually increases, and the ratio of the area of the non-transmissive region 204 of the third portion 106 to the area of the transmissive region 202 remains unchanged. The transparency of the first portion 102 and the second portion 104 has a gradual change effect, so that the visual effect of the rear cover of the mobile terminal is better, and the transparency of the third portion 106 is kept unchanged, so that the process is easier to form.
As shown in fig. 3, in some embodiments, in the directions of the first portion 102, the second portion 104, and the third portion 106, the ratio of the area of the non-transmissive region 204 of the second portion 104 to the area of the transmissive region 202 gradually increases, the ratio of the area of the non-transmissive region 204 of the first portion 102 to the area of the transmissive region 202 remains unchanged, and the ratio of the area of the non-transmissive region 204 of the third portion 106 to the area of the transmissive region 202 remains unchanged. The transparency of the second portion 104 has a gradual change effect, so that the visual effect of the rear cover of the mobile terminal is better, while the transparency of the first portion 102 and the third portion 106 remains unchanged, which is easier to process.
As shown in fig. 4, in some embodiments, in the directions of the first portion 102, the second portion 104, and the third portion 106, the ratio of the area of the non-transmissive region 204 of the first portion 102 to the area of the transmissive region 202 is constant, the ratio of the area of the non-transmissive region 204 of the second portion 104 to the area of the transmissive region 202 is gradually increased, and the ratio of the area of the non-transmissive region 204 of the third portion 106 to the area of the transmissive region 202 is gradually increased. The transparency of the second portion 104 and the third portion 106 has a gradual change effect, so that the visual effect of the rear cover of the mobile terminal is better, while the transparency of the first portion 102 remains unchanged, which is easier to process.
In some embodiments, the area of the opaque region 204 of the transparent portion 10a is greater than zero and the area of the transparent region 202 of the opaque portion 10c is greater than zero. So that the transparent part 10a and the non-transparent part 10c are relatively close to the transition part 10b, and abrupt changes are avoided, thereby enabling the whole decoration film 10 to have better visual effect. In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the area of the opaque region 204 of the transparent portion 10a may be equal to zero, and the area of the transparent region 202 of the opaque portion 10c may be equal to zero.
In some embodiments, the light-transmitting substrate 100 is an insulating substrate and the decorative layer 200 is an insulating decorative layer. Therefore, the performance of the antenna of the mobile terminal on the rear cover can be prevented from being affected due to the electrical conductivity of the transparent substrate 100 and the decoration layer 200, and signal interference can be avoided.
In some embodiments, the light transmittance of the light transmissive substrate 100 is greater than 85%, and the light transmissive substrate 100 may be a plastic substrate, such as a PET substrate. The light transmittance of the decoration layer 200 is less than 5%, and the decoration layer 200 may be an insulating photoresist layer of various colors.
As shown in fig. 1, in some embodiments, the decoration film 10 further includes a light-transmissive protection layer 300, the light-transmissive protection layer 300 covering the surface of the light-transmissive substrate 100 having the decoration layer 200. The light-transmitting protective layer 300 can prevent the decorative layer 200 from being worn and falling off, so that the decorative film 10 has a long service life.

When the decoration film 10 is needed, the release film 500 is removed to attach the decoration film 10 to the rear cover of the mobile terminal.
As shown in fig. 6, the rear cover 40 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a decoration film 10, a transparent cover 20, and a transparent adhesive layer 30 connecting the decoration film 10 and the transparent cover 20. The rear cover 40 has a decorative effect by adopting a bonding mode, and the transparent cover body 20 has a decorative effect compared with the transparent cover body 20 directly subjected to chemical treatment, so that the realization is more convenient.
When the protective layer 300 is omitted from the decoration film 10, the transparent adhesive layer 30 connects the transparent cover 20 and the surface of the decoration film 10 having the decoration layer 200, so that the decoration layer 200 is located between the transparent substrate 100 and the transparent cover 20, and at this time, the transparent substrate 100 can protect the decoration layer 200. When the transparent adhesive layer 400 and the release film 500 are omitted from the decorative film 10, the transparent adhesive layer 30 can be formed by dispensing the adhesive on the transparent cover 20 or the decorative film 10 during the assembly of the rear cover 40 and curing the adhesive.
