Housing for electronic device and method of making the housing

摘要

A method of making a housing, comprising the steps of: providing a transparent plastic substrate, the substrate having an outer surface and an inner surface; coating at least portions of the outer surface with a photosensitizer; activating the substrate by using an energy ray to irradiate areas of the outer surface covered with the photosensitizer to form a conductive medium layer thereon; electroplating the activated substrate, an electroplated coating formed on the irradiated area in a predetermined pattern; forming an electrophoretic coating on the surface of the electroplated coating by an electrophoresis process; and forming a paint coating on the inner surface of the substrate. A housing made by the present method is provided.
