Portable electronic device body having laser perforation apertures and associated fabrication method
Patent number: 9484621Abstract: A method of fabricating the body of the portable electronic device as well as the resulting portable electronic device and its body are provided to facilitate the transmission of radio frequency signals through the body of the portable electronic device. In the context of a method, at least one aperture and, in some instances, a plurality of apertures are defined by laser perforation through a conductive portion of the body of the portable electronic device. The method may also anodize the conductive portion including at least partially filling the at least one aperture with an anodization layer. As such, the conductive portion of the body of the portable electronic device has a relatively consistent, metallic appearance, even though laser perforation apertures are defined therein for supporting the transmission of radio frequency signals.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2012Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Anton Fahlgren, Harri Lasarov, Sung-Hoon Oh, Axel E.

Patent number: 9413861Abstract: A method of fabricating at least a portion of the body of an apparatus, such as a portable electronic device, that includes both plastic and conductive parts is provided with the body appearing relatively seamless such that the interface between the plastic and conductive parts is indistinguishable. In this regard, a plastic part may be combined with a conductive part to form at least a portion of the body of the portable electronic device. The surfaces of the plastic part and the conductive part may be metallized, such as by being subjected to vapor deposition, to metalize the surfaces of the plastic and conductive parts. The metalized surfaces of the plastic and conductive parts may then be anodized, thereby producing at least a portion of the body of a portable electronic device having plastic and conductive parts with a consistent appearance and a consistent tactile response.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2012Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Harri Lasarov, Anton Fahlgren
