Its next plan is to provide amorphous metal frames to more mobile phone makers at home and abroad. "This is a profitable market and our final goal in the consumer electronics industry," said Li, adding that many mobile phone makers showed interest in forging cooperation with Eontec.
"As shown in FIG. 8, device 10 may have a housing member such as housing sidewall structure 18 that is interposed between upper and lower glass housing structures 20. Structure 18 may be formed from metal, glass, ceramic, plastic, fiber-based composite material, other materials, or a combination of these materials. Upper and lower glass housing structures 20 in FIGS. 7 and 8 may have recessed portions (e.g., rectangular recesses), as described in connection with FIG. 5. Display structures and other internal device components may be received within the recesses of structures 20 of FIGS. 7 and 8."
What I find most interesting about this patent is that the glass fusion temperature is 800*F. This is also the transition temperature of LM. It makes me wonder if the glass front and back plates will be fused to the LM midframe, making it one unibody construction. Perhaps they are making Job’s dream come true of a “single sheet of glass” iPhone. Remember BMG is “glass” so when articles speak of an “all glass” iPhone, the midframe (structural portion) is likely metallic glass.
