PLASTIC HOUSING AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME

摘要

A plastic housing includes a substrate, an activating metal coating made of noble metal, a chemical metal coating deposited on the activating metal coating, an oxidized metal film formed on and partially covering the chemical metal coating, an electroplated metal coating formed on a portion of the chemical metal coating not covered by the oxidized metal film, and a patterned ink coating formed on the oxidized metal film. The patterned ink coating is recessed relative to the electroplated metal coating.
