Abstract

A cover for an electronic device includes a main portion and a border portion beside the main portion. The border portion includes a transparent substrate and a adhesive layer. The transparent substrate defines at least one through hole. The adhesive layer is adhered to an inner wall of the at least one through hole.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for manufacturing a cover for an electronic device, comprising:
providing a cover base, the cover base having a main portion and a border portion beside the main portion, the border portion comprising a transparent substrate;
forming at least one through hole in the transparent substrate; and
forming an adhesive layer in an inner wall of the at least one through hole;
wherein the step of forming the adhesive layer in the inner wall of the at least one through hole comprises:
filling adhesive materials into one of the at least one through hole; and
removing a portion of the adhesive materials from the at least one through hole.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer is formed by jetting adhesive materials to the inner wall of the at least one through hole.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the at least one through hole is circular and has a diameter of 0.1 millimeter to 0.25 millimeter.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the adhesive layer is between 0.01 millimeters to 0.45 millimeters.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the color of the adhesive layer is the same as a color of the border region.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising forming a shielding layer on a surface of the transparent substrate; wherein when the transparent substrate of the border portion is transparent, the color of the adhesive layer is the same as a color of the shielding layer.
