Title: Casing with label affixed thereon and electronic devcie using the casing

Description:
BACKGROUND 
     1. Technical Field 
     The present disclosure relates to casings with labels affixed thereon, and particularly, to a casing that can prevent air bubbles forming under labels during testing. 
     2. Description of Related Art 
     Many electronic devices, such as DVD players, include a product label affixed on their casings. When manufacturing an electronic device with a large product label, air bubbles may form under the product label during high and low temperature storing tests. Thus, it is desirable to provide an electronic device to overcome the above-mentioned problems. 
    
    
     
       BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS 
       Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present disclosure. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views. 
         FIG. 1  is an isometric view of a casing of an electronic device in accordance with an embodiment. 
         FIG. 2  is an enlarged view of the portion II of  FIG. 1 . 
     
    
    
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 
     Referring to  FIG. 1 , an electronic device  10  includes a casing  20  with a side surface  21  comprising a product label  30  affixed thereon. The product label  30  includes textual and graphical information, such as certification information. In the embodiment, the electronic device  100  is a DVD player. 
     In the embodiment, the label  30  is a flexible rectangular sheet. The side surface  21  of the casing  20  includes a label area  22 . The label area  22  defines a number of recesses  23 . When affixed on the label area  22 , the label  30  covers the recesses  23 . 
     In one embodiment, the recesses  23  are formed in the side surface  21  and are evenly arranged in a matrix form. The recesses  23  and the casing  20  are integrally formed by injection molding. 
     In an alternative embodiment, the side surface  21  may include a number of protruding ribs  24 . The protruding ribs  24  intersect with each other, thereby forming the recesses  23 . The protruding ribs  24  and the casing  20  are integrally formed by injection molding. 
     After testing many electronic devices  10 , the results show that no air bubble forms under the labels  30  during high and low temperature storing tests. 
     While various embodiments have been described and illustrated, the disclosure is not to be construed as being limited thereto. Various modifications can be made to the embodiments by those skilled in the art without departing from the true spirit and scope of the present disclosure as defined by the appended claims.
