The base 11 is integrally formed by a metal member 112 and a plastic member 114. When the outer casing 10 is used as a casing of a mobile phone, the plastic member 114 corresponds to the position of the antenna in which the inside of the mobile phone is disposed, thereby not affecting the radio frequency function of the mobile phone. The decorative film 13 includes a primer layer 131, a non-conductive vacuum key film layer 133, and a protective lacquer layer 135. The primer layer 131 is formed directly on the substrate, and is coated on the outer surface 116 formed by the metal member 2 and the plastic member 114. The primer layer 131 can effectively improve the surface smoothness of the substrate u, so that the surface of the subsequent non-conductive vacuum coating layer 133 is smooth, and has better brightness. 7 201018349 · • • In addition, the subsequent non-conductive can be improved. The adhesion of the vacuum coating layer 133. : The non-conductive vacuum coating layer 133 is formed on the surface of the primer layer 131. ♦ The non-conductive vacuum mineral film layer 133 may be a metal material or a non-metal material as long as it has a metallic appearance effect. The protective lacquer layer 135 is formed on the surface of the non-conductive vacuum coating layer 133, which is composed of a transparent paint. It is understood that a partially roughened region may be formed in advance on the surface of the substrate 11 in order to further have a bright fog-like effect on the surface of the outer casing 1 '. Alternatively, a hollow pattern may be formed by laser engraving on the non-conductive vacuum coating layer 133 to obtain the effect of pattern decoration on the surface of the outer casing 1 . The manufacturing method of the above casing 10 includes the following steps: First, the metal member 112 is obtained by die casting, stamping or the like. The plastic member 114 and the metal member 112 are integrally molded by insert molding to obtain the substrate n. The base body includes a surface i formed by the metal member 112 and the plastic member 114. Finally, a decorative film 13 is formed on the outer surface 116 of the substrate. Specifically, the primer layer 131 is first coated on the surface of the substrate, and the non-conductive vacuum coating layer 133 is plated on the surface of the primer layer 131. Finally, the protective lacquer layer 135 is applied on the surface of the non-conductive vacuum coating layer 133. Λ It can be understood that if the outer surface of the outer casing 1 is further provided with a bright fog-like effect, the one-piece structure of the plastic member 4 and the metal member 112, that is, the base body η, can be formed in the injection mold before injection molding. The roughened area is such that the formed plastic part 114 also has a corresponding rough area; or 8 201018349 •, a rough sugar area is engraved on the surface of the metal part 112. In addition, the method of manufacturing the outer casing may further include forming a hollow pattern on the non-conductive vacuum coating layer 133 by laser engraving to obtain the effect of pattern decoration on the surface of the outer casing 10.
