  • Patent number: 11825615
    Abstract: A coated member, an electronic device, and a method for manufacturing the coated member are provided. The coated member comprises a substrate, a color layer formed on a surface of the substrate, and an interference layer formed on a surface of the color layer. A coordinate L* corresponding to a color space presented by the color layer in a CIE LAB color system is within a preset range. When the coordinates of L* are within the preset range, the color of the coated member may be the same or may be different from the color of the color layer. Light passes through the interference layer and then enters the color layer. The color layer reflects and refracts the light. The reflected light enters the interference layer. The interference layer interferes with the reflected light, so that the coated member appears to be a target color.

  • Patent number: 10012264
    Abstract: There is provided a sliding member formed by combining a resin overlay and a soft metal overlay. The sliding member has a soft layer comprising a metallic material with a hardness of less than 40 HV provided under a resin overlay layer comprising a solid lubricant and resin. In the event of contamination by a foreign matter, the soft layer under the resin overlay layer is capable of plastic deformation and the resin overlay layer is capable of partial deformation accompanying the plastic deformation due to the hardness (T1) (?m) of the soft layer and the hardness (T2) (?m) of the resin overlay layer being such that 0.2?T1/T2?7.0 and 3.0?T1?20.0. Consequently, a foreign matter is desirably embedded and resistance to a foreign matter can be improved. Low friction is maintained by the resin overlay layer even after contamination by a foreign matter.
