As the design of electronic device trends to be more suitable for human use and convenient for replacement, every designer makes efforts to provide more innovation, in order to make the electronic device more suitable for human use and overcome the troublesome replacement of the electronic device and its elements.
Generally speaking, electronic devices involve a lot. For example, products such as notebook computers and keyboards are called electronic devices. On the whole, most electron devices include a case to protect their circuit boards or relative components.
Therefore, to achieve the convenience for assemblage, the conventional cases for electronic device usually include a upper case and a corresponding lower case.
For example, the main body of a notebook computer includes a first case that is used to assemble the components such as keyboard and touch panel, and a second case. Wherein, the first case further has several status indicating lamps and status indicating marks, so that user can clearly know the status in use. Please refer to FIG. 1 (the local enlarged diagram of the first case), the main case body 100 of the first case has a plurality of light-transmitting hole 100a. Each indicating mark 100b is formed on the main case body 100 directly, via an injection method (to form a concave or convex scar) or direct printing method, adjacent to the individual light-transmitting hole 100a. Via the light of the light-emitting component (not shown) pass though the light-transmitting hole 100a, the status in use of this electronic device can be observed.
In addition, to cooperate with the formation and emitting of the light-emitting component, a light-transmitting component is further formed at the bottom of the first case so as to avoid the exposedness of the light-emitting component, which leads to the damage of itself.
In the mentioned case, each indicating mark 100b is formed on the main case body 100 directly. Therefore, the user can neither distinguish the indicating mark 100b, nor realize the status in used of this electronic component when the electronic device is operated during the night.
Furthermore, due to the direct formation of each indicating mark 100b on the main case body 100, it is necessary to replace the entire main case body 100 while each indicating mark 100b is damaged or undistinguishable. Thus, the cost is induced and the replacement is complex for users. Moreover, due to the direct formation of each indicating mark 100b on the main case body 100, the first case must be replaced when the indicating items is purposed to be changed. This may slow down the market period of the product and reduce the competition ability dramatically.
Hence, it is a big issue of the recent electronic device technology to make users be able to tell the status in use of their electronic devices during the night, to simplify the replacement of the electronic device, and to design more suitable electronic devices.
