  • Embodiments of the invention generally relate to a mobile device screen protector.
  • Embodiments of the invention specifically relate to a mobile device screen protector permanently marked by etching or silk screen ink process.
  • Screen protectors come in a variety of materials, such as tempered glass and plastic, and shapes and sizes to fit a variety of mobile devices. Cases also come in a variety of materials, shapes and sizes to fit a variety of mobile devices. Additionally, cases have a variety of cosmetic designs, decorations and features that allow consumers to customize their phones and express themselves.
  • Screen protectors are an important accessory for use with a mobile device. They serve to protect the touchscreen of the mobile device from damage. While other accessories can come in a variety of cosmetic designs and appearances, a screen protector must remain transparent and clear to maintain its functional purpose. This invention allows a screen protector to become more than a protective accessory and allow for it to be customized to become visually aesthetic.
  • a screen protector and method for watermarking a touchscreen of a mobile device is provided.
  • the invention provides for a transparent film having a front and back sides, the perimeter of the screen protector completely covering the touchscreen of the mobile device, the back side having an adhesive to affix the screen protector to the touchscreen. Further, it discloses a watermark permanently applied to the back side of the film such that when the screen protector is affixed to the touchscreen, the watermark is invisible against the light of the touchscreen during active state and visible against the dark of the touchscreen during inactive state.

  • Fig. 4 is a mobile device with an affixed screen protector 400 with a watermark in an on or active state
  • a screen protector used with a mobile device, permanently marked by etching or silk screen printing is provided. This allows a screen protector to become more than a protective accessory and allow for it to be customized to become visually aesthetic.
  • Mobile devices include, but are not limited to, cellular phones, smartphones, tablets, and PDAs. As illustrated in Fig. 1, a commonly used mobile device 100 where the invention is used is a smartphone. Users generally interact with a smartphone through an LED/LCD touchscreen 110
  • the screen protector functions to protect the touch screen of a mobile device from sustaining damage. This includes preventing cracks and scratches.
  • the screen protector is a transparent film made from tempered glass, though other materials are contemplated.
  • the film has a front outward facing side and a back inward facing side.
  • the screen protector uses an adhesive process to lay overtop of the screen that the user intends to protect, whereby the inward facing side contacts the touchscreen.
  • the screen protector is designed such that the perimeter of the screen protector completely covers the touch screen of the mobile device. Once fixed to the mobile device, the tempered glass screen protector mimics the smoothness of the screen of the mobile device and allow s for continued use of all touch screen functionalities of the mobile device.
  • a screen protector 200 having a watermark permanently applied to the screen protector is provided.
  • the watermark 210 can be created by etching whereby an acidic, caustic or abrasive substance comes into contact with the glass and etches away a small surface layer of the glass. This results in the etched part of the glass having a rougher feel and a translucent appearance, as opposed to the normally smooth and transparent glass.
  • the screen protectors must be a sufficient thickness to etch away a portion of the screen protector without affecting the protective qualities of the screen protector.
  • the watermark can be created by silk screen printing whereby a mesh is used to transfer ink onto the glass. A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen causes the screen to touch the glass surface momentarily along a line of contact. This causes the ink to adhere to the glass and be pulled out of the mesh as the screen springs back after the blade has passed.
  • a translucent ink is to mark the glass.
  • Stencils and other means can be employed to create a particular etching or silk screen printing design, whereby the stencil in the shaped of the desired design is placed over the screen protector and the etching or silk screen printing only occurs to the exposed section of the screen protector.
  • the screen protector is fixed to the mobile device such that it covers and protects the touchscreen.
  • the surface of the screen protector having the etching or ink, whichever means is used to apply the watermark is the surface fixed to the mobile device screen. As illustrated in Fig. 3, when the mobile device 300 is off or in an inactive state/ sleep state, the watermark 320 is visible against the black screen 310 of the mobile device.
  • the opacity of the ink in the silk screen printing embodiment allows for the visibility of watermark.
  • the frosted appearance of the etched surface in the etching embodiment allows for the visibility of the watermark.
  • the ink use to create the watermark has properties that further affect the visibility of the watermark on the screen protector.
  • Such an ink can be one that becomes visible or invisible due to changes in temperature.
  • heat caused by usage of the phone can make the ink visible or invisible.
  • such an ink can be one that becomes visible or invisible due to moisture.
  • the watermark will become visible or invisible. It should be noted that the breath of a user can provide both heat and moisture to act on the ink.
  • the invention provides for a means to customize the appearance of a screen protector.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un protecteur d'écran et un procédé permettant de filigraner l'écran tactile d'un dispositif mobile. L'invention concerne un film transparent ayant des côtés avant et arrière, le périmètre du protecteur d'écran recouvrant complètement l'écran tactile du dispositif mobile, le côté arrière ayant un adhésif pour fixer le protecteur d'écran à l'écran tactile. En outre, il concerne un filigrane appliqué de façon permanente sur le côté arrière du film de telle sorte que lorsque le protecteur d'écran est fixé à l'écran tactile, le filigrane est invisible à la lumière de l'écran tactile pendant l'état actif et visible à l'obscurité de l'écran tactile pendant l'état inactif.
