Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Techniques, processes and structures are disclosed for providing markings on products, such as electronic devices. For example, the markings can be formed using physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes to deposit a layer of material. The markings or labels may be textual and/or graphic. The markings are deposited on a compliant layer that is disposed on a surface to be marked. The compliant layer is arranged to isolate the surface to be marked from the layer of material deposited using the PVD process.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for forming a housing for an electronic device, the method comprising: depositing an intermediate layer on an interior glass surface of the housing, wherein the intermediate layer comprises a liquefiable adhesive; compressing the intermediate layer against the surface of the housing using a compression member; heating the intermediate layer while compressing the intermediate layer against the surface of the housing using the compression member;…
