Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an electronic device including a camera module. Background Art

[0002] With the development of relevant technologies, a large number of electronic devices such as mobile electronic devices have been developed and popularized. Recently, such electronic devices tend to have touch-sensitive displays with large-sized screens for wide visibility and convenient operation. In addition, the electronic devices may each have at least one camera module. Generally, such camera modules are arranged around or through a display in the electronic device.

[0003] The above information is presented as background information only to assist with an understanding of the present disclosure. No determination has been made, and no assertion is made, as to whether any of the above might be applicable as prior art with respect to the present disclosure. Summary of the invention

[0004] [Technical issues]

[0005] It has been found that it is desirable to design an electronic device to increase the area of ​​the display as much as possible in the limited size of the electronic device while taking into account the arrangement of the camera module. Typically, the electronic device includes a display that is seen from the outside through at least a portion of a front cover (also referred to as a front plate, a cover member, or a glass window). The size of the display is gradually increasing so that the display is exposed substantially through the entire area of ​​the front cover. In response to this trend of increasing the size of the display area, the arrangement of various electronic components (e.g., at least one camera module) disposed through the front cover also needs to be changed accordingly. That is, it becomes more difficult to arrange the camera in the black matrix (BM) area (or inactive area) of the front cover because the BM area becomes smaller, even if it is not eliminated.

[0006] One option is to set a camera in the display area. In order to increase the display area and also for the smooth arrangement of electronic components, the display and the front cover may have an opening (e.g., a perforation or a through hole) and a camera exposure portion respectively formed at a position corresponding to the camera module. Through the opening and the camera exposure portion, the camera module can receive light from the outside and perform a camera function. However, the appearance of the opening in the display area is unattractive to the user, and therefore, it is advantageous to design the opening to be as small as possible.

[0007] Generally, the size of the camera exposed portion can be determined according to the outer diameter of the lens barrel of the camera module. The lens barrel is a component of the camera module for accommodating and supporting multiple lenses. However, due to the restrictions on the structural design for supporting the lenses, the lens barrel may face restrictions on reducing the total outer diameter. This may make it difficult to reduce the size of the camera exposed portion formed in the front cover. In addition, when the camera exposed portion of the front cover is spaced apart from the lens of the camera module, a phenomenon may occur in which light is reflected by the components on one side of the camera lens. This is disadvantageous because the reflected light can be visually recognized from the outside.

The side surface 110C may be formed by a side frame structure (or "side member") 118 that is combined with the front plate 102 and the rear plate 111 and includes metal and / or polymer. The rear plate 111 and the side frame structure 118 may be integrally formed and may be the same material (eg, a metal material such as aluminum).

[0039] The front plate 102 may include two first regions 110D that are respectively arranged at their long edges and are seamlessly bent and extended from the first surface 110A toward the back plate 111. Similarly, the back plate 111 may include two second regions 110E that are respectively arranged at their long edges and are seamlessly bent and extended from the second surface 110B toward the front plate 102. The front plate 102 (or the back plate 111) may include only one of the first regions 110D (or the second regions 110E). The first region 110D or the second region 110E may be partially omitted. When viewed from the side of the mobile electronic device 100, the side frame structure 118 may have a first thickness (or width) on the side that does not include the first region 110D or the second region 110E, and may have a second thickness that is less than the first thickness on the other side that includes the first region 110D or the second region 110E.

The sensor modules 104 and 119 may include a first sensor module 104 (e.g., a proximity sensor) and / or a second sensor module (e.g., a fingerprint sensor) arranged on the first surface 110A of the housing 110, and / or a third sensor module 119 (e.g., a heart rate monitor (HRM) sensor) and / or a fourth sensor module (e.g., a fingerprint sensor) arranged on the second surface 110B of the housing 110. The fingerprint sensor may be arranged on the second surface 110B of the housing 110 as well as the first surface 110A (e.g., the display 101). The electronic device 100 may further include at least one of the following sensors: a gesture sensor, a gyroscope sensor, an air pressure sensor, a magnetic sensor, an acceleration sensor, a grip sensor, a color sensor, an infrared (IR) sensor, a biometric sensor, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, or an illumination sensor.

The camera module 105 or the camera module 112 may include one or more lenses, an image sensor, and / or an image signal processor. The flash 113 may include, for example, a light emitting diode or a xenon lamp. Two or more lenses (infrared camera, wide angle and telephoto lens) and an image sensor may be arranged on one side of the electronic device 100.

[0046] The key input device 117 may be arranged on the side surface 110C of the housing 110. The mobile electronic device 100 may not include some or all of the key input devices 117 described above, and the key input device 117 not included may be implemented in another form such as a soft key on the display 101. The key input device 117 may include a sensor module arranged on the second surface 110B of the housing 110.

[0047] The light emitting device may be arranged on the first surface 110A of the housing 110. For example, the light emitting device may provide status information of the electronic device 100 in an optical form. The light emitting device may provide a light source associated with the operation of the camera module 105.

[0049] Some sensor modules 105 of the camera modules 105 and 112, some sensor modules 104 of the sensor modules 104 and 119, or indicators may be arranged to be exposed through the display 101. For example, the camera module 105, the sensor module 104, or the indicator may be arranged in the internal space of the electronic device 100 so as to contact the external environment through the opening of the display 101 that is perforated to the front plate 102. In another embodiment, some sensor modules 104 may be arranged to perform their functions in the internal space of the electronic device without being visually exposed through the front plate 102. For example, in this case, the area of ​​the display 101 facing the sensor module may not require a perforated opening.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the display 101 occupies almost the entire first surface 110A. Therefore, the camera module 105 is arranged in the display area. The camera module receives light from the outside through an opening arranged at a position corresponding to the camera. However, if the opening is large, it obviously interrupts the display and is unpleasant to the observer. At the same time, the size of the hole is generally determined by the outer diameter of the lens barrel of the camera module. In certain embodiments of the present disclosure, the size of the opening is acceptably small without unacceptably interrupting the display while allowing a high level of functionality of the camera module 105.
