4 to 6 are cross-sectional views illustrating AA ′ of FIG. 3.

4 is a cross-sectional view showing a logo unit according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the logo unit 30 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a print layer 41 and a background layer 42. The print layer 41 and the background layer 42 may be provided on the bottom surface of the logo unit 30.

The print layer 41 is provided on the rear surface of the logo unit 30 in the shape of a logo. The print layer 41 may be printed in a color different from that of the logo unit 30. For example, when the logo unit 30 is made of translucent acrylic having a blue color, the print layer 41 may be printed in orange color. The logo of the print layer 41 may be provided on the bottom surface of the logo portion 31 so that the logo unit 30 is mounted on the rear surface of the terminal 1 so that the logo unit 30 may be exposed to the outside of the terminal 1. Can be. The print layer 41 may be implemented in a single color, form a pattern or may be implemented in a plurality of colors.

The background layer 42 is provided on the bottom of the printed layer 41. The background layer 42 may be provided in a color different from that of the printed layer 41. For example, if the logo unit 30 is made of translucent acrylic with blue sensation and the print layer 41 is printed in orange color, the background layer 42 is purple or the logo unit 30. It may be provided in the same color with the acrylic and the brightness of the difference. Since the background layer 42 is formed on the bottom surface of the printed layer 41, the sense of depth due to the thickness of the logo unit 30 may be expressed more luxuriously.

5 is a sectional view showing a logo unit according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 5, the logo unit 30 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is formed with a molding 33 of the logo shape. The logo-shaped molding 33 may be provided on the front side or the rear side of the logo unit 30. A predetermined pattern may be implemented on one surface of the molding 30. For example, a comb pattern may be implemented on one surface of the logo-shaped molding 33. As a result, when the logo receives light, the logo may be refracted and reflected to realize the logo more three-dimensionally.

The back of the logo unit 30 may be further provided with a print layer 41 and the background layer 42. The contents of the printed layer 41 and the background layer 42 are similar to those of the first embodiment.

By forming a logo-shaped molding on the front or the back of the logo unit 30, the logo of the printing layer 41 can be seen more three-dimensional. In addition, when the pattern is formed on the molding 33, the logo may be more luxuriously shown by the reflection and refraction of light. The molding and the pattern may be formed by irradiating UV on the logo unit 30.

6 is a cross-sectional view showing a logo unit according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the logo unit 30 according to the third embodiment of the present invention includes a print layer 41, a background layer 42, and a mirror layer 43. The mirror layer 43 may be provided on the rear surface of the logo unit 30, and the print layer 41 and the background layer 42 may be provided on the rear surface of the mirror layer 43. The position of the mirror layer 43 is not limited to the base material.

The mirror layer 43 may be implemented by depositing mirror ink on the back surface of the logo unit 30 or laminating the mirror film. However, when depositing the mirror ink, the mirror layer 43 may be deposited using a non-conductive material so as not to affect the electronic components located inside the terminal 1.

The mirror layer 43 transmits a predetermined amount of light so that the print layer 41 and the background layer 42 provided on the rear surface of the mirror layer 43 in front of the logo unit 30 can be visually confirmed. It is provided to be. The light transmittance of the mirror layer 43 may be adjusted within 30 to 85%.

The mirror layer 43 as described above may be applied to the logo unit in which the molding and the pattern are formed as in the second embodiment. Since the brightness of the logo unit can be varied by adjusting the light transmittance of the mirror layer 43, not only can the logo unit be more variously realized, but also the logo unit can be upgraded by the brightness. There is this.
