Achieving Readable Invisible Logos on Smartphone Microcrystalline Glass Backs at a 60° Viewing Angle with 355 nm UV Laser Marking
Abstract:
The integration of invisible logos on smartphone microcrystalline glass backs has become a trend in the mobile industry, enhancing both aesthetics and security. This article discusses the process of achieving readability at a 60° viewing angle using a 355 nm ultraviolet (UV) laser marking machine. We will explore the parameters affecting visibility, the role of microcrystalline glass properties, and the optimal laser settings for clear and durable logos.
Introduction:
Smartphone manufacturers are increasingly seeking ways to differentiate their products while maintaining a sleek and minimalist design. Invisible logos, which are only visible under specific lighting or angles, offer a unique solution. The use of a 355 nm UV laser marking machine allows for the precise etching of these logos into the surface of microcrystalline glass, a material known for its strength and clarity. This article will detail the process and considerations for achieving high-visibility logos at a 60° viewing angle.
Materials and Methods:
The study utilizes a 355 nm UV laser marking machine to etch logos into microcrystalline glass samples. The glass properties, such as refractive index and thermal expansion, are considered to determine their interaction with the UV laser. The laser's power, pulse width, and scanning speed are varied to find the optimal settings for logo etching.
Results:
Our findings indicate that the visibility of the etched logos is significantly influenced by the laser's energy density. At a 60° viewing angle, logos etched with a higher energy density are more visible due to the increased contrast caused by the laser's interaction with the glass's surface. However, too much energy can lead to surface damage, reducing the logo's durability. A balance must be struck between visibility and the integrity of the glass surface.
Discussion:
The optimal energy density for achieving a readable logo at a 60° viewing angle without compromising the glass's integrity is found to be within a specific range. This range is determined through a series of tests, where the logos' visibility and the glass's surface condition are assessed. The use of a 355 nm UV laser allows for precise control over the etching process, enabling the creation of logos that are invisible under normal lighting but become apparent when viewed from a specific angle.
Conclusion:
The implementation of a 355 nm UV laser marking machine in the etching of invisible logos on smartphone microcrystalline glass backs has proven effective. By carefully controlling the laser's energy density, it is possible to create logos that are readable at a 60° viewing angle while maintaining the glass's structural integrity. This technology offers a valuable solution for smartphone manufacturers seeking to enhance their products with secure, aesthetically pleasing, and functional design elements.
