    Abstract: Interlocking first member and optical members and methods of their manufacture. A component formed from an interlocking first member and optical member, where the first member includes a recess formed within a surface and the optical member is disposed in the recess. The recess of the first member may include a recess geometry and the optical member may include a member geometry that may correspond to the recess geometry. Additionally, the interlocking component formed from the first member and optical member may be formed by a coupling process. The coupling process may include sintering the first member and the optical member, bonding the optical member to the first member or providing a compression-load or fit between the first member and the optical member.

    Abstract: Electronic devices and other apparatuses adapted to receive electromagnetic wave communications are disclosed. An outer housing encloses various device components, including at least an internal antenna located fully therewithin and adapted to receive/send communications from/to an outside source via RF or other electromagnetic waves. A ceramic coating can be a thermal spray coating that covers at least a portion of the outer surface proximate to the internal antenna, and can be “RF transparent”—adapted to allow communications to/from the internal antenna via electromagnetic waves. The outer housing can be plastic, metal or a combination thereof. For metal or other non-RF transparent housings, an RF-transparent insert can be fitted into a window in the housing to permit communications to the internal antenna. The ceramic coating covers some or all of the metal, plastic and/or insert that comprise the outer housing and surface for a final aesthetic finish to the device.

    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with conductive structures such as conductive housing structures. A visible-light-reflecting coating may be formed on the conductive structures. The coating may have adhesion and transition layers and a multi-layer thin-film interference filter on the adhesion and transition layers. The multi-layer thin-film interference filter may have an uppermost SiCrN layer, a lowermost TiN layer, and a set of SiN layers interleaved with a set of SiH layers. The coating may exhibit an orange, yellow, or red color that has a relatively uniform visual response at different viewing angles even when the underlying conductive structures have a three-dimensional shape.

    Abstract: An electronic device includes electrical components in a housing. The components may include optical components such as a display. Protective structures may be used to protect the optical components. The protective structures may include one or more protective transparent layers such as layers of glass or crystalline material such as sapphire. The protective transparent layers may be coated with an oleophobic coating. To enhance coating durability, catalyst may be used to help bond the oleophobic coating. An adhesion promotion layer such as a silicon oxide layer may be deposited on the transparent protective layer. A catalyst layer such as a layer of sodium fluoride may be deposited on the adhesion promotion layer. The oleophobic material may be evaporated or otherwise deposited on the catalyst layer. Heat and moisture may help the oleophobic material form chemical bonds with the adhesion promotion layer, thereby forming a durable oleophobic coating.
