Abstract: An electrostatic shield (10) for use in a portable electronic device (A or B) includes a base (12), a conductive layer (14), and an electroplate layer (16). The conductive layer is formed on the base. The electroplate layer is formed on the conductive layer and defines an aperture (162) therethrough. A portion of the conductive layer is revealed/exposed through the electroplate layer via the aperture. A method for fabricating the electrostatic shield is also provided.

Abstract: A display module used in a portable electronic device includes a display unit and a processor unit. The display unit includes a main display and a subsidiary display electronically connected to the main display. The processor unit is electronically connected to the display unit. The processor unit sends signals received by the portable electronic device to the display unit to display images of the signals. The processor unit identifies the signals and selects either of the two display modes according to the identifying results. The images of the signals are displayed in both the main display and the subsidiary display when a common display mode is selected, and the images of the signals are displayed in only the subsidiary display when an energy-saving display mode is selected.

Abstract: A method of treating a metal substrate comprise the steps of: anodizing the metal substrate to create pores on the surface of the substrate; and treating the metal substrate by NCVM to form a NCVM coating on the surface of the substrate.

Abstract: A surface treatment process for metal articles for a mobile device includes following steps. Firstly, a metal article made of aluminum, titanium, or alloys thereof, is provided. Secondly, a first releasable coating is formed on a first surface portion of the metal article. Thirdly, a metal coating is formed on a second surface portion of the metal article. Fourthly, the first releasable coating is removed from the first surface portion of the metal article. Fifthly, a second releasable coating is formed on the metal coating. Sixthly, the first surface portion of the metal article is anodized. Finally, the second releasable coating is removed from the second surface portion of the metal article.
