The Display Bottom Casing is a critical structural component in modern electronic devices, serving as the foundational housing element that supports and protects internal components while maintaining aesthetic integrity. Typically constructed from high-grade aluminum alloys (6061 or 7075 series) or polycarbonate-ABS blends, this component features precise engineering tolerances of ±0.1mm to ensure perfect alignment with other device elements. Advanced thermal management properties allow for heat dissipation rates up to 15W/m·K in metal variants, while polymer versions maintain V-0 flame retardancy ratings per UL94 standards.
Key technical specifications include:
Thickness: 0.8-2.5mm depending on material and device class
Surface hardness: 6H-9H pencil hardness for scratch resistance
EMI shielding: 30-60dB attenuation in shielded designs
Weight reduction: Up to 40% compared to traditional steel casings
Modern Display Bottom Casings incorporate multiple advanced features:
Structural Integrity: Engineered to withstand impact forces up to 50J without deformation, with yield strengths ranging from 200-550MPa depending on material composition. Finite element analysis optimizes rib patterns to achieve stiffness-to-weight ratios exceeding 25kN·m/kg.
Thermal Performance: Aluminum variants utilize micro-arc oxidation coatings with thermal emissivity of 0.85-0.92, while composite versions integrate graphite sheets (5-15W/m·K) for heat spreading. Temperature differentials across the surface are maintained below 8°C under maximum load conditions.
Environmental Resistance: Meets IP68 ingress protection standards when properly sealed, with salt spray resistance exceeding 500 hours per ASTM B117. UV-stabilized polymers maintain colorfastness after 3000 hours of accelerated weathering testing.
Display Bottom Casings find application across multiple industries:
Consumer Electronics: In smartphones, the casing must accommodate 5G antenna arrays with isolation gaps of 0.3-0.5mm while maintaining structural integrity after 100,000 flex cycles. Tablet casings integrate magnetic attachment systems with holding forces of 3-5N for keyboard accessories.
Medical Devices: Hospital-grade equipment utilizes medical-grade stainless steel (316L) or antimicrobial polymers containing 2-5% silver ion additives. These materials must withstand autoclave sterilization at 134°C for 1000+ cycles without degradation.
Automotive Displays: Center stack displays require casings with operating temperature ranges from -40°C to 85°C and resistance to 15kV electrostatic discharge. Vibration resistance must meet ISO 16750-3 standards for 10-2000Hz random vibration profiles.
Industrial HMIs: Ruggedized casings feature MIL-STD-810G compliance for drop/shock resistance and incorporate conductive gaskets providing 360° EMI shielding. Some variants integrate heating elements (10-20W) for operation in sub-zero environments.
Proper maintenance extends service life and maintains performance:
Cleaning Protocols: For aluminum casings, use pH-neutral cleaners (6.5-7.5) with soft microfiber cloths (300-500 GSM). Avoid abrasive cleaners exceeding 1μm particle size. Polymer casings require isopropyl alcohol (70% concentration) for disinfecting without surface degradation.
Inspection Routines: Quarterly checks should verify:
Fastener torque values within ±10% of specification (typically 0.6-1.2N·m)
Seal integrity with water penetration tests (1m depth for 30 minutes)
Surface coatings for adhesion strength >5B per ASTM D3359
Preventive Measures:
Apply nano-coatings (2-5μm thickness) annually for enhanced stain resistance
Maintain 40-60% RH storage conditions to prevent galvanic corrosion
Use conductive elastomer gaskets when reassembling EMI-sensitive devices
Repair Techniques: For minor damage:
Fill scratches shallower than 0.2mm with UV-curable resins (380-420nm wavelength)
Re-anodize aluminum surfaces using 15-25μm thick coatings for corrosion protection
Replace thermal interface materials every 3-5 years (thermal resistance <0.5°c·cm²>)
