Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates to a solid state disk.
Description of the Prior Art
[0002] Conventionally, a solid state disk is provided with a
light-emitting device like LED for reminding or decoration.
[0003] However, in the conventional solid state disk, a scattering
structure needs to be provided additionally for making a light
emitted from a light-emitting portion even. However, the scattering
structure often occupies a lot of space, if the scattering
structure is disposed on the substrate, the substrate becomes
crowded, and a heat dissipation effect of a memory module on the
substrate is influenced; if the scattering structure is not
provided, it is hard for the light emitted from the light-emitting
portion to create an evenness effect. In addition, the
light-emitting device and the memory module are often disposed on a
same face of the substrate, so the heat-dissipation effect is
influenced.
[0004] The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate
the afore-described disadvantages.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The major object of the present invention is to provide a
solid state disk which can emit an even and soft light without a
scattering structure and can create a comfortable visual
effect.
[0006] To achieve the above and other objects, a solid state disk
is provided, including: a main body, including a shell portion, a
substrate which is disposed on the shell portion and a memory
module which is disposed on the substrate, the shell portion having
a light-penetrable shell portion, the substrate having a
light-penetrable portion and a first face, the substrate integrally
formed with the light-penetrable portion, the first face having a
first coating layer, the first coating layer having an emergent
light-penetrable portion corresponding to the light-penetrable
portion, the light-penetrable shell portion corresponding to the
emergent light-penetrable portion, the substrate including a
transmission port, the memory module electrically connected to the
transmission port; a light-emitting portion, disposed on the main
body and electrically connected to the transmission port, a light
emitted from the light-emitting portion being capable of being
projected through the light-penetrable portion and the emergent
light-penetrable portion and via the light-penetrable shell portion
to an exterior of the solid state disk.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0014] The present invention will be clearer from the following
description when viewed together with the accompanying drawings,
which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred
embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
[0015] Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 6 for a preferred embodiment of
the present invention. A solid state disk 1 includes a main body 2
and a light-emitting portion 6.
[0016] The main body 2 includes a shell portion 3, a substrate 4
which is disposed on the shell portion 3 and a memory module 5
which is disposed on the substrate 4, the shell portion 3 has a
light-penetrable shell portion 31, the substrate 4 has a
light-penetrable portion 40 and a first face 41, the substrate 4 is
integrally formed with the light-penetrable portion 40, the first
face 41 has a first coating layer 42 (preferably not
light-penetrable), the first coating layer 42 has an emergent
light-penetrable portion 43 corresponding to the light-penetrable
portion 40, the light-penetrable shell portion 31 corresponds to
the emergent light-penetrable portion 43, the substrate 4 includes
a transmission port 44, and the memory module 5 is electrically
connected to the transmission port 44. Specifically, the
transmission port 44 can transmit not only electricity but also
data. The light-emitting portion 6 is disposed on the main body 2
and electrically connected to the transmission port 44, and the
light emitted from the light-emitting portion 6 can be projected
through the light-penetrable portion 40 and the emergent
light-penetrable portion 43 and via the light-penetrable portion 31
to an exterior of the solid state disk 1. Therefore, the light
emitted from the light-emitting portion 6 can be weakened, evened
and soften by the light-penetrable portion 40 and be projected out
to present a comfortable visual effect (after a part of the coating
layer on the substrate which carries a circuit is removed, a part
of the substrate is light-penetrable (preferably the substrate is
translucent) to create an evenness effect).
[0017] In this embodiment, the memory module 5 is disposed on the
first face 41. The light-penetrable shell portion 31 includes a
decoration plate 32 on the shell portion 3 and a light-penetrable
pattern portion 33 (for example, a trademark) disposed on the
decoration plate 32, the light-penetrable pattern portion 33 can
add beauty to the solid state disk 1, and preferably, the
light-penetrable pattern portion 33 may not be hollow-out and be a
layer made of a transparent material (for example but not limited
thereto, a light-penetrable glass) so as to prevent dust from
entering an interior of the solid state disk 1. The substrate 4
further has a second face 45 opposite to the first face 41, the
substrate 4 further includes a second coating layer 46 on the
second face 45, the second coating layer 46 has an incident
light-penetrable portion 47 corresponding to the light-penetrable
portion 40, the light emitted from the light-emitting portion 6 is
capable of being projected through the incident light-penetrable
portion 47 to the light-penetrable portion 40, and the
light-emitting portion 6 is disposed on the second face 45 of the
substrate 4 and neighboring to the incident light-penetrable
portion 47. The light-emitting portion 6 and the memory module 5
are arranged on two opposite sides of the substrate 4 to disperse
heat conduction, and the light-emitting portion 6 and the memory
module 5 can dissipate heat without disturbing each other. The
light-emitting portion 6 includes a plurality of light-emitting
diodes 7 which are disposed on the substrate 4 and substantially
along a contour of the incident light-penetrable portion 47 so as
to prevent the light projected from the light-penetrable shell
portion 31 from being uneven, and the light-emitting diodes 7 can
save electricity and emit light stably.
[0018] The shell portion 3 further includes a reflecting structure
34 corresponding to the light-emitting portion 6, the reflecting
structure 34 reflects a part of the light emitted from the
light-emitting portion 6 to the incident light-penetrable portion
47, the reflecting structure 34 is disposed on the shell portion 3
to prevent from occupying a space of the substrate 4, the
reflecting structure 34 can make the light which has been reflected
even, and the light-penetrable portion 40 and the reflecting
structure 34 are for making the light emitted from the
light-emitting portion 6 even twice to produce a preferable visual
effect. It is to be noted that the emergent light-penetrable
portion 43 and the light-penetrable pattern portion 33 correspond
to each other in position and shape; therefore, in actual practice,
as viewed from a side of the solid state disk 1 tiltedly, a user
can see from the light-penetrable pattern portion 33 that the first
coating layer 42 is located on an edge of a contour of the
light-penetrable pattern portion 33 and form a light shading so as
to create a gradient visual effect. The light-emitting portion 6 is
emittable in any of at least two kinds of light in different colors
so as to enrich the color variations of the solid state disk 1 and
to produce a unique visual effect. The substrate 4 is further
provided with a processing unit 48, the processing unit 48 is
electrically connected to the light-emitting portion 6, and the
light-emitting portion 6 is controllable by the processing unit 48
to create different light variations when the solid state disk 1 is
in operation.
[0019] In other embodiments, the emergent light-penetrable portion
and the light-penetrable pattern portion may not correspond to each
other in position and shape; the shell portion may not have the
decoration plate, the light-penetrable pattern portion may be
directly disposed on the shell portion, or the shell portion and
the decoration plate may be integrally formed; the light-penetrable
pattern portion of the solid state disk may be a hollow-out
structure; the substrate may further include other devices, for
example (but not limited thereto), a special device like a
transmission speed detection unit to increase the functionality of
the solid state disk; the light-emitting portion may be disposed on
the shell portion as long as the light emitted from the
light-emitting portion can enter the light-penetrable portion
through the incident light-penetrable portion; the light-emitting
portion may also include other mechanisms which can provide light;
the light-emitting portion may produce only one color of light; the
solid state disk may not include the reflecting structure and make
the light emitted from the light-emitting portion be projected into
the light-penetrable portion directly; the memory module may be
disposed on the first face or/and the second face.
[0020] Given the above, the light-penetrable portion of the solid
state disk can emit an even and soft light, and the
light-penetrable portion and the light-penetrable pattern portion
of the solid state disk can provide a special visual effect. The
reflecting structure is dispose on the shell portion so that the
substrate is more concise.
[0021] While we have shown and described various embodiments in
accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those
skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without
departing from the scope of the present invention.
