Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of terminal manufacturing, and more particularly to a terminal. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of communication technology, the use of mobile terminals such as smartphones is becoming increasingly widespread, and the requirements for display screens are also increasing. With the emergence of curved display screen technology, more and more terminals are beginning to adopt curved display screens.

[0003] Traditional button designs are unsuitable for curved displays, leading to the use of pressure-sensitive devices to replace buttons. However, curved displays occupy a significant portion of the device's clearance, impacting antenna placement. To accommodate antenna configurations, the pressure-sensitive area on curved displays is typically small, making it inconvenient for users to operate within this area. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the problems existing in related technologies, this disclosure provides a terminal.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a terminal is provided, comprising: a curved display screen, the curved display screen including at least a first curved portion extending to a first side of the terminal, the first curved portion including a pressure-sensitive area extending along the length direction of the first curved portion, a first end of the pressure-sensitive area near the top of the terminal, and a second end of the pressure-sensitive area near the bottom of the terminal; a frame for fixing the curved display screen, disposed on the outer periphery of the terminal; and one or more frame antennas disposed on the frame, the frame antennas being disposed away from the pressure-sensitive area.

[0006] In one embodiment, the frame includes: a first frame located on the first side and a second frame located on the second side of the terminal, and the frame antenna includes a main antenna disposed on the second frame.

[0007] In one embodiment, the frame antenna further includes a first low-frequency antenna, a second low-frequency antenna, a first frame antenna, and a second frame antenna; the frame further includes a third frame disposed on the top of the terminal, a first side of the third frame connected to the first frame, a second side of the third frame connected to the second frame, the first side and the second side being disposed opposite to each other; the first frame antenna is disposed on the second frame and close to the second side; the second frame antenna is disposed on the third frame and close to the first side.

[0008] In one embodiment, the first frame antenna is configured to cover at least one or more of the N41, N78, and N79 frequency bands; the second frame antenna is configured to cover GPS signals and / or WIFI signals.

[0009] In one embodiment, the terminal further includes a motherboard and a wireless charging module; the motherboard is disposed near the top of the terminal; and the wireless charging module is disposed near the bottom of the terminal.

[0010] In one embodiment, the terminal further includes one or more LDS antennas.

[0011] In one embodiment, the terminal includes a rear cover disposed on the back of the terminal; the LDS antenna is disposed on the rear cover.

[0012] In one embodiment, the frequency band covered by the LDS antenna is the same as the frequency band covered by the frame antenna.

[0013] In one embodiment, the LDS antenna is disposed near the top of the terminal; the LDS antenna includes a first LDS antenna, a second LDS antenna, a third LDS antenna, and a fourth LDS antenna; the first LDS antenna is configured to cover at least one or more of the N41, N78, and N79 frequency bands; the second LDS antenna is configured to cover at least one or more of the N41, N78, and N79 frequency bands; the third LDS antenna is configured to cover at least one or more of the N41, N78, and N79 frequency bands; and the fourth LDS antenna is configured to cover GPS signals and / or WIFI signals.

[0014] In one embodiment, the terminal further includes a SIM card disposed inside the terminal, the SIM card being disposed near the top of the terminal and avoiding the LDS antenna.

[0015] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure can include the following beneficial effects: The terminal of this disclosure is a curved display screen, and a pressure-sensitive area is provided on one side of the terminal, extending from the top to the bottom of the terminal, with a relatively large area. Simultaneously, this disclosure utilizes a frame antenna located on the outer perimeter of the terminal, and the frame antenna avoids the pressure-sensitive area. This disclosure allows for a large pressure-sensitive area, facilitating user operation while simultaneously meeting the terminal's antenna requirements. This arrangement avoids the large pressure-sensitive area occupying antenna clearance and affecting the antenna signal.

[0016] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with this disclosure and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of this disclosure.

[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a terminal according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0019] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the partial component layout of a terminal according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0020] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the partial component layout of a terminal according to another exemplary embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0021] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0022] With the widespread adoption of full-screen smartphones, flat displays can no longer meet the needs of today's consumers, and curved screens are increasingly appearing in the public eye. Curved screens can visually extend the image, thus gaining popularity among more consumers.

[0023] At the same time, the extension and expansion of the screen affects and impacts the phone's regular functions and traditional design schemes, such as affecting the antenna settings.

[0024] With the arrival of the 5G era, the demand for antennas in terminals is increasing, and the number of antennas that need to be set up is increasing accordingly.

[0025] Traditional button designs are unsuitable for curved displays, leading to the use of pressure-sensitive devices to replace buttons. However, curved displays occupy a significant portion of the device's clearance, impacting antenna placement. To accommodate antenna configurations, the pressure-sensitive area on curved displays is typically small, making it inconvenient for users to operate within this area.

[0026] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a terminal. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a terminal according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the terminal 30 of this disclosure includes a curved display screen 20, a bezel 10, and one or more bezel antennas.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, the curved display screen 20 includes at least a first curved portion 21 extending to a first side 31 of the terminal 30. The first curved portion 21 includes a pressure-sensitive area 40 that extends along the length of the first curved portion 21.

[0028] The pressure-sensitive area 40 on the curved display screen 20 can be a pressure-sensitive display screen. That is, a pressure sensor is configured at the position of the first curved part 21 of the curved display screen 20, so that the user can operate the terminal by pressing the screen in the pressure-sensitive area 40.

[0029] For example, in one embodiment, a user can adjust the volume of the terminal by sliding or pressing the pressure-sensitive area 40. It can also be configured to operate the terminal within the pressure-sensitive area 40 to perform various functions such as taking photos, screenshots, recording audio, and turning the terminal on / off.

[0030] The pressure-sensitive area 40 can be set using existing pressure-sensitive touch technology, and this disclosure does not impose specific limitations. In this disclosure, the terminal 30 can be an electronic device such as a mobile phone, tablet, or smart wearable device. The terminal 30 has a certain thickness and extends in a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction.

[0031] The pressure-sensitive area 40 of this disclosure extends along the length of the first curved portion 21, that is, along the length of the terminal 30. For example, it may extend from the top 33 to the bottom 34 of the terminal 30.

[0032] In one embodiment, the pressure-sensitive area 40 may occupy an entire side of the terminal 30, that is, a large area of ​​pressure-sensitive area 40 is provided on the terminal 30.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the first end 41 of the pressure-sensitive area 40 can be positioned near the top 33 of the terminal 30, and the second end 42 can be positioned near the bottom 34 of the terminal 30. That is, the pressure-sensitive area 40 extends from near the top 33 of the terminal 30 to near the bottom 34.

[0034] This design allows for a larger area on the terminal 30 that can be pressure-sensitive, making it easier for users to operate. Users typically operate the terminal by pressing or touching the pressure-sensitive area 40 with their fingers. Because the area of ​​direct contact between the finger and the pressure-sensitive area is large, the larger pressure-sensitive area facilitates user operation.

[0035] Furthermore, since the contact area between the pressure-sensitive area and the user's finger is relatively large, a smaller pressure-sensitive area increases the likelihood of user misoperation. For example, if the pressure-sensitive area is small, the user's finger may trigger multiple different commands simultaneously when it comes into contact with the pressure-sensitive area, leading to misoperation.

[0036] For example, some devices use a pressure-sensitive area to control the volume. In such devices, a sufficiently large pressure-sensitive area allows the user to adjust the volume over a wide range with a single swipe. For instance, the volume can be adjusted from maximum to minimum, or vice versa.

[0037] Volume adjustment can be completed without repeated swiping. This disclosed setting improves the operational efficiency of the pressure-sensitive area and enhances the accuracy of pressure-sensitive touch control.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, if terminal 30 is rectangular, the corners can be curved. Generally, users rarely utilize the display area at the corners of terminal 30 during operation.

[0039] In this disclosure, the pressure-sensitive area 40 may not cover the corner of the curved display screen 20 corresponding to the terminal. This arrangement ensures that the pressure-sensitive area 40 meets the user's operational needs while also saving production costs.

[0040] Furthermore, the process of setting a pressure-sensitive area on the curved display screen 20 at the corner is more complex. The pressure-sensitive area 40 disclosed herein does not cover the position of the corner of the terminal corresponding to the curved display screen 20, which can also reduce the production process and improve the production efficiency of the terminal.

[0041] The curved display screen 20 disclosed herein may be a hyperboloid display screen, that is, the curved portion of the curved display screen 20 extends in the thickness direction to two different sides of the terminal 30.

[0042] The curved display screen 20 can be a deeply curved display screen, meaning that the curved portion of the curved display screen 20 can cover a significant portion of the side surface of the terminal 30. Specifically, the curved portion of the curved display screen 20 can cover more than half of the side surface of the terminal 30 in the thickness direction.

[0043] The curved display screen 20 disclosed herein can also be a three-curved display screen, that is, the curved portion of the curved display screen 20 extends to three different sides of the terminal 30 in the thickness direction.

[0044] The curved display screen 20 disclosed herein may also be a four-curved display screen, that is, the curved portion of the curved display screen 20 extends to three different sides of the terminal 30 in the thickness direction.

[0045] like Figure 1As shown, the curved display screen 20 of the terminal 30 can be a quad-curved display screen. For example, in one embodiment, the curved display screen 20 of the terminal 30 can be a deep quad-curved display screen. That is, the curved portion of the curved display screen 20 extends to four different sides of the terminal 30 in the thickness direction and covers more than half of the area of ​​the sides of the terminal 30 in the thickness direction.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the first curved portion 21 of the curved display screen 20 may extend along the thickness direction of the terminal 30 on the first side 31 of the terminal 30.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one or more frame antennas are disposed on the frame 10, and the frame antennas are disposed away from the pressure-sensitive area 40.

[0048] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the layout of some components of a terminal according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the border 10 of this disclosure is disposed on the outside of the terminal 30.

[0049] In this disclosure, the frame 10 may include a first frame 11 located on the first side 31 and a second frame 12 located on the second side 32 of the terminal 30. The frame antenna includes a main antenna 201 disposed on the second frame 12. The main antenna 201 may be an MHB antenna.

[0050] Generally, an antenna can also be referred to as ANT; for example, the main antenna 201 can also be referred to as ANT2. Specifically, it can be ANT2-MHB.

[0051] In this disclosure, the frame antenna can be a slot antenna. That is, the frame antenna can be configured by setting one or more slots on the frame 10.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the frame 10 includes a first frame 11, a second frame 12, and a third frame 13 respectively disposed on three sides of the terminal 30.

[0053] In this disclosure, a first gap 101 and a second gap 102 are provided on the first frame 11. The main antenna 201 may be disposed in the first gap 101.

[0054] In this disclosure, the first border 11 and the second border 12 can be arranged relative to each other. For example, if the terminal 30 is rectangular, the first border 11 and the second border 12 can be located on the two long sides of the terminal 30. The first border 11 is the long side of the terminal 30, that is, the first side 31 where the pressure-sensitive area 40 is located is the long side of the terminal 30, which provides a larger area for setting the pressure-sensitive area 40.

[0055] The second frame 12 is the long side of the terminal 30, providing sufficient space for the main antenna 201. Generally, the main antenna 201 occupies more internal structural space in the terminal and requires more antenna clearance than other antennas. This arrangement ensures that the pressure-sensitive area 40 and the main antenna 201 are located on two opposite long sides of the terminal 30.

[0056] Generally, antenna installation requires a certain amount of clearance to allow the antenna to transmit and receive signals. In other words, a certain amount of space needs to be reserved for antenna installation.

[0057] The configuration disclosed herein, while satisfying the requirement of increasing the area of ​​the pressure-sensitive region 40, also avoids the situation where the pressure-sensitive region 40 occupies a large amount of antenna clearance, thus preventing the antenna configuration from failing to meet the needs of the terminal. In other words, the configuration disclosed herein can simultaneously satisfy the requirements of a large pressure-sensitive region 40 and sufficient antenna space.

[0058] In this disclosure, such as Figure 2 As shown, the frame antenna may also include a first low-frequency antenna 205, a second low-frequency antenna 204, a first frame antenna 202, and a second frame antenna 203.

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, the first low-frequency antenna 205 can be located on the other side of the first gap 101, near the bottom of the terminal 30.

[0060] In one embodiment, the first low-frequency antenna 205 may include a transceiver module. The transceiver module may be a TRX (transceiver), which can convert a basic radio frequency signal into a high-frequency radio frequency signal. Correspondingly, a TRX can also convert a high-frequency radio frequency signal into a basic radio frequency signal.

[0061] In one embodiment, the first low-frequency antenna 205 may be referred to as ANT1, specifically ANT1-LB TRX.

[0062] In one embodiment, the second low-frequency antenna 204 may be referred to as ANT3. The second low-frequency antenna 204 may be an MHB antenna, specifically ANT3-LB+MHB.

[0063] like Figure 2As shown, the second low-frequency antenna 204 can be located at a corner of the terminal 30. Furthermore, the second low-frequency antenna 204 is configured to have a radiation range that avoids the pressure-sensitive area 40, thus preventing mutual interference with the pressure sensor in the pressure-sensitive area 40.

[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, the second low-frequency antenna 204 can be a slot antenna, positioned at the location of the fourth slot 104 on the first frame 11. The fourth slot 104 is located at the corner of the terminal 30.

[0065] In this disclosure, such as Figure 2 As shown, the frame 10 also includes a third frame 13 disposed at the top of the terminal 30. The first side 131 of the third frame 13 is connected to the first frame 11. The second side 132 of the third frame 13 is connected to the second frame 12. The first side 131 and the second side 132 are disposed opposite to each other.

[0066] The first frame antenna 202 is disposed on the second frame 12 and close to the second side 132. The second frame antenna 203 is disposed on the third frame 13 and close to the first side 131.

[0067] The first frame antenna 202 is configured to cover at least one or more of the N41, N78, and N79 frequency bands. For example, the first frame antenna 202 can be configured to cover all three frequency bands simultaneously: N41, N78, and N79.

[0068] China Mobile has been granted two 5G frequency bands: 2515MHz-2675MHz and 4800MHz-4900MHz, with band numbers N41 and N79 respectively. China Telecom has been granted a frequency band of 3400MHz-3500MHz, with band number N78, and China Unicom has been granted a frequency band of 3500MHz-3600MHz, also with band number N78.

[0069] The first frame antenna 202 is configured to simultaneously cover three frequency bands: N41, N78, and N79. That is, the first frame antenna 202 is configured to cover multiple frequency bands currently used in 5G, enabling the terminal 30 disclosed herein to be applied to 5G.

[0070] In one embodiment, the first frame antenna 202 may be referred to as ANT10, specifically ANT10-n41 / 78 / 79.

[0071] like Figure 2 As shown, the first frame antenna 202 can be a slot antenna, for example, it can be located at the second slot 102 on the second frame 12. The first frame antenna 202 is close to the second side 132 of the third frame 13.

[0072] It should be noted that the first frame antenna 202 can also be configured to cover other frequency bands, such as the 4G frequency band. This configuration allows the terminal 30 to be used for both 5G and 4G.

[0073] The second frame antenna 203 is configured to cover GPS signals. The second frame antenna 203 is also configured to cover WIFI signals, for example, it can cover both GPS and WIFI signals simultaneously.

[0074] With the advent of the 5G era, the number of mobile phone antennas is increasing. At the same time, curved displays on terminals occupy a significant amount of space, while the space for antennas is becoming increasingly limited. To achieve better and higher performance requirements, a merging solution can be adopted, which combines two or more antennas into one.

[0075] For example, in this disclosure, a GPS antenna and a WIFI antenna are combined into a second frame antenna 203. For example, a GPS antenna in the L1 band can be combined with a WIFI antenna in the 2.4ch0 band.

[0076] In one embodiment, the second frame antenna 203 may be referred to as ANT5. Specifically, it may be ANT5-GPS L1+WIFI2.4ch0.

[0077] like Figure 2 As shown, the second frame antenna 203 can be a slot antenna, for example, it can be set at the third slot 103 on the third frame 13. The second frame antenna 203 is close to the second side 132 of the third frame 13.

[0078] This disclosure involves setting a frame around the outer side of a curved display screen, creating multiple slits on the frame, and arranging frame antennas around the slits. This arrangement avoids the curved display screen occupying antenna clearance and affecting antenna signal. Thus, it allows for antenna placement on the curved display screen, meeting the terminal's antenna configuration requirements.

[0079] like Figure 1 As shown in the exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the bezel 10 covers at least a portion of the non-display area of ​​the curved display screen 20. Around the curved display screen, there are locations for setting up driving hardware to perform display functions, such as pixel blocks. Since these areas do not have the function of displaying images, they can be referred to as non-display areas.

[0080] The bezel 10 is configured to cover the non-display area of ​​the curved display screen 20, effectively covering hardware devices that do not have display capabilities. This bezel 10 configuration not only avoids occupying the display area of ​​the curved display screen 20 but also effectively blocks the view of hardware devices in the non-display area.

[0081] For example, in typical setups, non-display areas of curved display screen 20 are often covered using methods such as ink screen printing. The setup disclosed herein, utilizing the bezel 10 for covering, can also save on raw materials and processes in terminal manufacturing, thereby improving manufacturing efficiency.

[0082] Furthermore, the bezel 10 is positioned in the non-display area of ​​the curved display screen 20, and from the outside, the bezel 10 appears as a narrow edge of the curved display screen. This does not affect the appearance design of the terminal.

[0083] In exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the terminal is rectangular, such as common mobile phones and tablets.

[0084] It should be noted that this disclosure is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the terminal may also be square, circular, or other shapes. Correspondingly, the frame may also be square, circular, or other shapes. The gaps on the frame can be specifically set according to the different needs of the terminal.

[0085] This disclosure solves the problem of the curved display screen occupying antenna clearance by placing the bezel 10 on the outside of the curved display screen 20, thereby providing a variety of suitable antenna layouts. This arrangement makes it possible to extend a large area of ​​the curved display screen to each side of the terminal, realizing the setting of a deeply curved display screen.

[0086] Based on the deep quad-curved screen design, the top, bottom, left, and right sides are all surrounded by the screen, making it impossible to utilize the mid-frame for functional layout. Conventional layout stacking schemes cannot meet the requirements. Therefore, the bezel proposed in this disclosure can achieve a new layout scheme to realize the basic functional modules of the mobile phone. In the deep quad-curved screen stacking scheme, the top, bottom, left, and right sides are all surrounded by the screen. Therefore, the antenna layout cannot be implemented using traditional methods, and physical buttons cannot be implemented. This necessitates the use of pressure-sensitive modules and screen touch controls to achieve button functionality.

[0087] In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the terminal 30 may further include a glass housing disposed on the outside of the terminal 30. The glass housing does not interfere with the antenna, thus helping to maintain the stability of the antenna signal.

[0088] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the partial component layout of a terminal according to another exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the terminal 30 also includes a motherboard and a wireless charging module 500. The motherboard is located near the top of the terminal 30, and the wireless charging module 500 is located near the bottom of the terminal 30.

[0089] In this disclosure, the motherboard is positioned near the top of terminal 30, that is, near the third border 13. For example... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this configuration facilitates the connection between the motherboard and the first low-frequency antenna 205, the second low-frequency antenna 204, the first frame antenna 202, and the second frame antenna 203.

[0090] The wireless charging module 500 can be a device that uses electromagnetic induction for power transmission, and may include a wireless charging coil. Using the wireless charging module 500 for power transmission to the terminal avoids the need for charging openings such as USB ports on the terminal. This allows the terminal 30 to be configured as a quad-curved display screen, or even a deeply quad-curved display screen.

[0091] like Figure 3 As shown, terminal 30 also includes one or more LDS antennas. LDS antennas (Laser Direct Structuring antennas) can be set up using any space inside the terminal and can be set up using some plastic parts inside the terminal.

[0092] Setting up an LDS antenna on terminal 30 can effectively utilize the internal space of the terminal and meet the terminal's antenna requirements.

[0093] In some embodiments, the terminal 30 may further include a rear cover, which is disposed on the back of the terminal 30. Generally, the largest display surface of the terminal 30 can be the front, and the side corresponding to the largest display surface is the back. The rear cover may be made of plastic.

[0094] In some embodiments, the LDS antenna may be disposed on the rear housing. The LDS antenna may be disposed in any interference-free location on the rear housing. For example, the LDS antenna may be disposed on the rear housing near the top 33 of the terminal 30.

[0095] In one embodiment, the frequency band covered by the LDS antenna is the same as the frequency band covered by the frame antenna.

[0096] Generally, the placement of antennas in terminal 30 is usually designed based on the antenna frequency band and the application scenario. Specifically, this can be done to avoid situations where the user's hand obstructs the view, and multiple antennas may be designed for some frequency bands to ensure better performance.

[0097] Since the frame antenna is located on the frame 11 of the terminal 30, it mostly radiates to the sides of the terminal 30. If the side of the terminal 30 is blocked or interfered with, it may cause poor reception and transmission of antenna signals, thus reducing the user experience.

[0098] This disclosure includes both a frame antenna and an LDS antenna. The LDS antenna can radiate towards the back of the terminal, meaning its radiation range differs from that of the frame antenna. In other words, the LDS antenna can continue to function even when the radiation area of ​​the frame antenna is blocked.

[0099] By ensuring that the frequency band covered by the LDS antenna is the same as that covered by the frame antenna, the stability of the terminal's antenna signal can be further guaranteed, improving the quality of the terminal and enhancing the user experience.

[0100] In some embodiments, terminal 30 may include multiple LDS antennas, for example, it may include four LDS antennas. Figure 3 As shown, it can specifically be a first LDS antenna, a second LDS antenna, a third LDS antenna, and a fourth LDS antenna.

[0101] In some embodiments, the first LDS antenna 301 is configured to cover at least one or more of the N41, N78, and N79 frequency bands. For example, the first LDS antenna 301 may be configured to cover both the N41 and N79 frequency bands. The first LDS antenna 301 may be referred to as ANT9, specifically ANT9-LDS N78 / 79.

[0102] The second LDS antenna 302 is configured to cover at least one or more of the N41, N78, and N79 frequency bands. For example, the second LDS antenna 302 can be configured to cover both the N78 and N79 frequency bands simultaneously. The second LDS antenna 302 can be an ANT8, specifically an ANT8 LDS N78 / 79.

[0103] The third LDS antenna 303 is configured to cover at least one or more of the N41, N78, and N79 frequency bands. For example, the third LDS antenna 303 can be configured to cover all three frequency bands simultaneously: N41, N78, and N79. The third LDS antenna 303 can be referred to as ANT7, specifically ANT7 LDS N41 / 78 / 79.

[0104] The fourth LDS antenna 304 is configured to cover GPS signals and / or WIFI signals. For example, the fourth LDS antenna 304 can be configured to cover WIFI signals. The fourth LDS antenna 304 can be referred to as ANT4, specifically ANT4 LDS WIFI1.

[0105] like Figure 3As shown, the terminal 30 also includes a SIM card 400 disposed inside the terminal 30. The SIM card 400 is disposed near the top 33 of the terminal 30 and avoids the LDS antenna. The projection of the SIM card 400 on the rear cover is located at one end of the rear cover near the second frame 12, and is offset from the position of the rear cover antenna.

[0106] Since traditional USB interface and card slot designs cannot meet the requirements, this disclosure adopts a new card slot solution and wireless charging solution as the necessary option for the four-curved screen stacking solution.

[0107] Specifically, due to the four-sided screen design, traditional USB interface and SIM card slot solutions cannot be implemented. Therefore, the four-curved screen solution needs to adopt an independent SIM card socket structure or an e-SIM card. At the same time, since the charging interface has been eliminated, a wireless charging solution is needed to achieve the charging function.

[0108] This disclosure addresses the issue that conventional stacking solutions cannot achieve existing functionalities by employing a new layout based on a four-curved screen solution.

[0109] It is understood that the terminal provided in this disclosure embodiment includes hardware structures and / or software modules corresponding to the execution of each function in order to achieve the above-mentioned functions. In conjunction with the units and algorithm steps of the various examples disclosed in this disclosure embodiment, this disclosure embodiment can be implemented in hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a certain function is executed by hardware or by computer software driving hardware depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Those skilled in the art can use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered to exceed the scope of the technical solution of this disclosure embodiment.

[0110] It is understood that in this disclosure, "multiple" refers to two or more, and other quantifiers are similar. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship. The singular forms "a," "the," and "the" are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
