Transparent display laptop computer

Abstract

A transparent display notebook computer includes a display module, a base, and a hinge mechanism connecting the display module and the base. The display module includes a transparent front panel, a transparent back panel, and a transparent display panel disposed between the transparent front panel and the transparent back panel. Control elements and wiring are disposed on the underside of the transparent display panel. A front non-transparent shielding area and a rear non-transparent shielding area are respectively formed on the underside of the transparent front panel and the transparent back panel, and the control elements and wiring are located between the front non-transparent shielding area and the rear non-transparent shielding area. The hinge mechanism is configured such that when the display module is rotated from a closed state to an open state, the front non-transparent shielding area and the rear non-transparent shielding area are at least partially hidden behind the base.

Claims

1. A transparent display notebook computer, comprising a display module, a base, and a hinge mechanism connecting the display module and the base, the display module comprising a transparent front panel, a transparent back panel, and a transparent display panel disposed between the transparent front panel and the transparent back panel, a control element and a wiring harness being disposed on the lower side of the transparent display panel, the lower sides of the transparent front panel and the transparent back panel respectively forming a front non-transparent shielding area and a rear non-transparent shielding area, the control element and the wiring harness being located between the front non-transparent shielding area and the rear non-transparent shielding area; wherein, The hinge mechanism is configured such that when the display module is rotated from a closed state to an open state, the front non-transparent shielding area and the rear non-transparent shielding area are at least partially hidden behind the base.

2. The transparent display notebook computer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transparent front panel has a notch on its lower side, the transparent front panel extends from the periphery of the notch to form a bent extension, the bent extension forming part of the non-transparent front shielding area, the transparent back panel has a protrusion extending into the notch, and the hinge mechanism includes a first component that is received in the bent extension and fixedly connected to the protrusion.

3. The transparent display notebook computer as claimed in claim 2, wherein the protrusion extends into the notch to position the transparent front panel and the transparent back panel relative to each other.

4. The transparent display notebook computer as claimed in claim 2, wherein the bent extension includes a first segment extending from the periphery of the notch toward a side away from the transparent back panel, a second segment extending downward from the first segment, and a third segment extending from the second segment toward a side closer to the transparent back panel.

5. The transparent display notebook computer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transparent back panel has a panel receiving area and an adhesive area adjacent to the panel receiving area, the transparent display panel is received in the panel receiving area, and the transparent front panel is fixedly connected to the transparent back panel by a transparent adhesive layer provided in the adhesive area.

6. The transparent display notebook computer as claimed in claim 2, wherein the transparent back panel has an electronic component housing area and a wiring portion connecting the electronic component housing area to the outside, the control element and a portion of the wiring assembly are housed in the electronic component housing area, and the wiring assembly extends from the electronic component housing area through the wiring portion to the bent extension portion and to the base.

7. The transparent display notebook computer as claimed in claim 2, wherein the hinge mechanism further includes a second component and a third component, the first component being fixedly connected to the third component, the second component being pivotally connected to the third component, and the second component being fixedly connected to the base.

8. The transparent display notebook computer as claimed in claim 7, wherein the base has a receiving recess, the second component is disposed in the receiving recess, and the receiving recess has a shielding plate to shield the second component and at least part of the third component.

9. The transparent display notebook computer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the front non-transparent shielding area and the rear non-transparent shielding area are formed by opaque coatings disposed on the outer surface of the transparent front panel and the outer surface of the transparent back panel, respectively.

10. The transparent display notebook computer as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transparent display notebook computer includes two hinge mechanisms, the two hinge mechanisms being respectively disposed on opposite sides of the lower side of the display module.
