[0038] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0039] Depending on whether the camera assembly can zoom, it can be divided into fixed focus (FF) camera assembly and auto focus (AF) camera assembly. Compared with fixed focus camera assembly, auto focus camera assembly has better photography performance and can achieve better imaging effects at different shooting distances through focusing.
[0040] If an autofocus camera assembly is directly integrated into an electronic device, it requires a voice coil motor (VCM) to adjust the lens's forward and backward movement along the optical axis to achieve autofocus. This requires sufficient space along the optical axis for lens movement, increasing the thickness of the electronic device. Furthermore, the VCM and lens must be integrally packaged within a housing and equipped with a supporting mechanical motion structure, complicating the manufacturing process and increasing costs.
[0041] In view of this, the technical solution of the present application provides an electronic device, including:
[0042] A display component having a first area and a second area; the first area is capable of displaying an image;
[0043] The image acquisition component includes: a fixed focus camera component, located on the side away from the display surface of the display component and arranged opposite to the second area; a zoom lens located in the second area, capable of adjusting the transmission path of the incident light to adjust the focal length of the image acquisition component.
[0044] The electronic device described in the embodiments of the present application achieves a focusing function of the image acquisition component by disposing a zoom lens on the light-entering side of a fixed-focus camera assembly. The zoom lens, with its adjustable focal length, adjusts the transmission path of incident light from the fixed-focus camera assembly, thereby achieving the focusing function of the image acquisition component. The zoom lens can be integrated with the display assembly, reducing the thickness of the electronic device.
[0045] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0046] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the electronic device shown in the AA' direction, wherein the electronic device includes:
[0047] The display component 11 has a first area 111 and a second area 112 in a direction parallel to the display surface; the first area 111 can display an image;
[0048] The image acquisition component 12 includes: a fixed focus camera assembly 121, which is located on the side away from the display surface of the display component 11 and is arranged opposite to the second area 112; a zoom lens 122 located in the second area 112, which can adjust the transmission path of the incident light to adjust the focal length of the image acquisition component 12.
[0049] The electronic device achieves the focusing function of the image acquisition component 12 by disposing a zoom lens 122 on the light-entering side of the fixed-focus camera assembly 121. The zoom lens 122, with its adjustable focal length, adjusts the transmission path of the incident light from the fixed-focus camera assembly 121, thereby achieving the focusing function of the image acquisition component 12. The zoom lens 122 can be integrated with the display assembly 11, and the electronic device can achieve the zoom function without requiring a thick automatic zoom camera assembly, thereby reducing the thickness of the electronic device.
[0050] As can be seen, the technical solution of the present application not only enables the photography function of an autofocus camera assembly when using a fixed-focus camera assembly 121, but also, compared to an auto-zoom camera assembly, eliminates the need for a voice coil motor to control the spatial distance of lens movement, thereby reducing the thickness of the device and facilitating the design of thinner and lighter electronic devices. Furthermore, since no mechanical motion structure is required to control lens movement using a voice coil motor, the solution offers high reliability and avoids problems such as wear and debris contamination caused by movement.
[0051] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a zoom lens provided in an embodiment of the present application in a light-transmitting state, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a zoom lens provided in an embodiment of the present application in another light-transmitting state. The zoom lens 122 shown includes:
[0052] A first light-transmitting electrode 21 and a second light-transmitting electrode 22 are arranged opposite to each other in the light incident direction of the fixed focus camera assembly 121; a light-transmitting medium 23 is located between the first light-transmitting electrode 21 and the second light-transmitting electrode 22;
[0053] The control voltage between the first light-transmitting electrode 21 and the second light-transmitting electrode 22 can control the transmission path of light in the light-transmitting medium.
[0054] Optionally, the first transparent electrode 21 and the second transparent electrode 22 can be made of transparent conductive materials such as ITO or IZO. The transparent medium 23 can be a liquid crystal material, and the focusing state of the light can be adjusted by controlling the rotation direction of the liquid crystal molecules.
[0055] The light-transmitting medium 23 has at least Figure 3 The first light-transmitting state shown and Figure 4 The second light-transmitting state is shown.
[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the light-transmitting medium 23 can keep the transmission direction of the incident light unchanged in the first light-transmitting state. At this time, the zoom lens 122 is equivalent to a plane mirror without focal length, and the focal length of the image acquisition component 12 is the same as the focal length of the fixed focus camera assembly 121.
[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, the light-transmitting medium 23 can change the refraction effect on the incident light in the second light-transmitting state, realize the focusing effect on the incident light, change the transmission path of the light, and produce a focusing effect. At this time, the zoom lens 122 is equivalent to a convex lens with a focal length. At this time, the focal length of the image acquisition component 12 is the equivalent focal length of the zoom lens 122 and the fixed focus camera assembly 121. The equivalent focal length is different from the focal length of the fixed focus camera assembly 121, thereby realizing the adjustment of the focal length of the image acquisition component 12.
[0058] In an embodiment of the present application, the zoom lens 122 is a flat-plate structure. By controlling the control voltage between the first light-transmitting electrode 21 and the second light-transmitting electrode 22, the light-transmitting state of the light-transmitting medium 23 can be adjusted, thereby realizing the change of the light transmission path of the zoom lens 122 and the adjustment of the focal length of the zoom lens 122, without the need for a voice coil motor to adjust the position of the lens in the direction of the optical axis.
[0059] refer to Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a display assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application. The display assembly 11 shown is an LCD panel, comprising: a first substrate 31 and a second substrate 32 arranged opposite each other; and a liquid crystal layer 33 located between the first and second substrates 31, 32. The liquid crystal layer 33 located in the second region 112 is reused as the light-transmitting medium 23. The first light-transmitting electrode 21 is located on the surface of the first substrate 31, and the second light-transmitting electrode 22 is located on the surface of the second substrate 32. Both the first light-transmitting electrode 21 and the second light-transmitting electrode 22 are located within the second region 112 and do not overlap with the first region 111.
[0060] The first light-transmitting electrode 21 and the second light-transmitting electrode 22 are both located in the second region 112 and do not overlap with the first region 111. This can prevent the control voltage between the first light-transmitting electrode 21 and the second light-transmitting electrode 22 from affecting the state of the liquid crystal molecules in the first region 111, thereby avoiding interference with the displayed image.
[0061] Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the liquid crystal layer 33 located in the second region 112 is reused as the light-transmitting medium 23. The light-transmitting medium 23 is made of liquid crystal material. For example, the portion of the LCD panel liquid crystal layer 23 located in the second region 112 can be used as the light-transmitting medium 23. This eliminates the need to separately package the liquid crystal material in the zoom lens 122 into a cell, making it compatible with the liquid crystal cell packaging process of the LCD panel, resulting in a simple manufacturing process and low manufacturing cost.
[0062] The first light-transmitting electrode 21 is located on the surface of the first substrate 31, and the second light-transmitting electrode 22 is located on the surface of the second substrate 32. The first substrate 31 of the LCD panel can be reused to carry the first light-transmitting electrode 21, and the second substrate 32 of the LCD panel can be reused to carry the second light-transmitting electrode 22. In this way, the zoom lens 122 does not need to separately set up a substrate carrying the two light-transmitting electrodes. The manufacturing process of the two light-transmitting electrodes can be compatible with the substrate manufacturing process of the LCD panel, the manufacturing process is simple, and the manufacturing cost is low.
[0063] It can be seen that the use of Figure 5 As shown, the zoom lens 122 can be directly integrated into the LCD panel. The manufacturing process of the zoom lens 122 is compatible with the substrate manufacturing process of the LCD panel. The manufacturing process is simple and the manufacturing cost is low. There is no need to form a through hole at the position of the LCD panel corresponding to the second area 112.
[0064] like Figure 5As shown, in the display assembly 11, the surface of the first substrate 31 facing the second substrate 32 has display control electrodes 34 for image display control. The display control electrodes 34 are located in the first area 111 and do not overlap with the second area 112. The display control electrodes 34 can control the deflection of liquid crystal molecules in the first display area 111 based on a display control signal, thereby realizing image display.
[0065] The display control electrode 34 is arranged in the first area 111 and has no overlap with the second area 112 , so as to avoid the display control signal input by the display control electrode 34 from affecting the state of the liquid crystal molecules in the second area 112 , thereby avoiding interference with the light adjustment effect in the second area 112 .
[0066] like Figure 5 As shown, the display control electrode 34 includes a pixel electrode 341 and a common electrode 342 for controlling the deflection of liquid crystal molecules in the first region 111. The pixel electrode 341 and the common electrode 342 are located on the same layer. A display control signal is input between the pixel electrode 341 and the common electrode 342, so that they form an electric field that controls the deflection of liquid crystal molecules in the first region 111, thereby achieving display control.
[0067] The first light-transmitting electrode 21 can be provided on the same layer as the display control electrode 34, thereby reducing the panel thickness and making the manufacturing process of the light-transmitting electrode compatible with the display control electrode 34 of the LCD panel. In other embodiments, the pixel electrode 341 and the common electrode 342 can also be provided on different layers. In this case, the first light-transmitting electrode 21 can be provided on the same layer as one of the pixel electrode 341 and the common electrode 342.
[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, the second substrate 32 has a plurality of color filter units 35 on a surface facing the first substrate 31. The color filter units 35 are located in the first region 111 and do not overlap with the second region 112. The display assembly includes at least a red color filter unit, a green color filter unit, and a blue color filter unit, which are used to selectively transmit light of corresponding color bands in the light modulated by the display control electrode 34, thereby achieving color display.
[0069] The color film unit 35 is located in the first area 111 and has no overlap with the second area 112 , which can prevent the color film unit 35 from absorbing the ambient light incident on the second area 112 , thereby increasing the intensity of the ambient light incident on the fixed-focus camera assembly 121 and ensuring imaging quality.
[0070] refer to Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 A schematic diagram of another display assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein Figure 5 Based on the method shown, Figure 6 In the shown embodiment, the first substrate 31 has a first polarizer 41 on the side facing away from the second substrate 32; the second substrate 32 has a second polarizer 42 on the side facing away from the first substrate 31; wherein, the first polarizer 41 and the second polarizer 42 both have a first through hole 43 in the second area 122.
[0071] For an LCD panel, a first polarizer 41 is required on the lower surface, and a second polarizer 42 is required on the upper surface. The polarization directions of the two polarizers are perpendicular to each other to coordinate with the liquid crystal layer 33 to adjust the light and realize image display. However, in the technical solution of this application, the second area 112 does not need to display images, so there is no requirement for the polarization state of light in the second area 112. To avoid the influence of the first polarizer 41 and the second polarizer 42 on the light intensity, the first polarizer 41 and the second polarizer 42 are provided with a first through hole 43 in the second area 112. This ensures that more ambient light can be incident on the fixed focus camera assembly 121 under the screen from the display surface of the LCD panel, thereby improving the image quality.
[0072] like Figure 6 As shown, the liquid crystal layer 33 has a first alignment film 61 on the side facing the first substrate 31, and both the first region 111 and the second region 112 have the first alignment film 61. The liquid crystal layer 33 has a second alignment film 62 on the side facing the second substrate 32, and both the first region 111 and the second region 112 have the first alignment film 61 and the second alignment film 62. The liquid crystal material requires two layers of alignment films to control its initial deflection direction. In this approach, the liquid crystal material in the second region 112 and the first region 111 can use the same two layers of alignment films for alignment control. This makes the alignment of the liquid crystal material in the variable focus lens 122 compatible with the alignment of the liquid crystal material in the LCD panel, resulting in a simple manufacturing process and low manufacturing cost.
[0073] In other methods, the first polarizer 41 and the second polarizer 42 can also be set as a whole-surface structure. In this case, there is no need to set the first through hole 43. Although it will affect the light intensity of the incident fixed focus camera assembly 121, there is no need to punch holes in the polarizer, the manufacturing process is simple, and the manufacturing cost is low.
[0074] The LCD panel is a passive display device that needs to display images based on the backlight beam emitted by the backlight assembly. In this case, the structure of the electronic device is as follows: Figure 7 shown.
[0075] refer to Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7This is a structural diagram of another electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Based on the above implementation, Figure 7 In the shown embodiment, the first substrate 31 has a backlight assembly 51 on the side facing away from the second substrate 32; wherein, the backlight assembly 51 has a second through hole 52 at a position opposite to the second area 112, at least a portion of the fixed focus camera assembly 121 is located in the second through hole 52, and the photosensitive window is arranged opposite to the second through hole 52.
[0076] In the embodiment of the present application, a second through hole 52 is provided in the backlight assembly 51, and at least a portion of the fixed-focus camera assembly 121 is positioned within the second through hole 52. This can reduce the thickness of the electronic device, facilitating a slimmer and lighter design. Furthermore, the second through hole 52 can reduce the absorption and / or reflection of light incident on the fixed-focus camera assembly 121 by the structure within the backlight assembly 52, thereby increasing the intensity of light incident on the fixed-focus camera assembly 121 and improving the imaging quality of the fixed-focus camera assembly 121.
[0077] refer to Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 This is a schematic structural diagram of a backlight assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the backlight assembly includes:
[0078] Light guide plate 512;
[0079] A light source device 511 located on the side of the light guide plate 512;
[0080] A reflective layer 513 located on the side of the light guide plate 512 facing away from the display assembly 11 so as to direct the backlight beam toward the display assembly 11 and increase the brightness of the backlight beam;
[0081] The diffusion film 514 and the prism sheet 515 are located on the light-emitting side of the light guide plate 512 .
[0082] Among them, after the incident light from the light source device 511 enters the light guide plate 512, it passes through the light guide plate 511 and the reflective layer 513 to form a backlight beam of the surface light source. The backlight beam passes through the diffusion film 514 to improve the uniformity of the output, and then controls the output angle through the prism sheet 515 before entering the display component 11. The display component 11 displays an image based on the incident backlight.
[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, the structure of the backlight assembly 51 can be set based on the needs, and is not limited to Figure 8 The edge-type light source backlight assembly shown may also be a direct-type light source backlight assembly.
[0084] In the above manner, the zoom lens 122 and the display assembly 11 are integrated into one structure, and different areas of the same display panel are used as the first area 111 for image display and as the zoom lens 122 for focus adjustment.
[0085] In the embodiment of the present application, the zoom lens 122 and the display assembly 11 are not limited to being an integrated structure as defined in the above embodiment, and the first area 111 and the second area 112 can also be set as two independent panel structures of different sizes. In this case, the structure of the electronic device can be as follows Figure 9 shown.
[0086] refer to Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9 This is a structural diagram of another electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the display component 11 has a third through hole 71 in the second area 112 , and the zoom lens 122 is located in the third through hole 71 .
[0087] exist Figure 9 In the illustrated embodiment, the display assembly 11 and the zoom lens 122 can be manufactured separately, and the zoom lens 122 is bonded and fixed in the third through hole 71. To ensure the flatness of the outer surface of the electronic device, the surface of the zoom lens 122 is set flush with the display side surface of the display assembly 11.
[0088] for Figure 9 As shown, the display component 11 can be an LCD panel or an OLED panel.
[0089] refer to Figure 10 As shown, Figure 10 This is a structural diagram of a fixed-focus camera assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application. The fixed-focus camera assembly includes:
[0090] Circuit board 90;
[0091] A photosensitive chip 91 and a connector 95 are provided on the surface of the circuit board 90. The photosensitive chip 91 may be a CMOS chip or a CCD chip.
[0092] A lens holder 92 is located on the light incident side of the photosensitive chip 91; a connector 95 is located outside the lens holder 92, and the photosensitive chip 91 is located inside the lens holder 92;
[0093] A lens 93 is provided on the lens holder 92 , wherein an infrared filter 94 is provided between the lens 93 and the photosensitive chip 91 for filtering out infrared light to improve the visible light imaging quality of the photosensitive chip 91 .
[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, a fixed focus camera assembly 121 is used to realize the focusing function of the autofocus camera assembly, and there is no need for a voice coil motor and its metal packaging shell with the lens. Compared with the solution of using an autofocus camera assembly, it can not only reduce the thickness of the equipment and the production cost, but also avoid the interference of the metal packaging shell in the autofocus camera assembly with the signal in the electronic device.
[0095] In the electronic device described in the embodiment of the present application, second region 112 does not contain pixel structures for image display, so there is no issue of pixel structures blocking light within second region 112. Zoom lens 122 functions as an electrically controlled zoom lens to adjust the focus of light, and does not require image display. Therefore, the entire second region 112 can be light-transmissive, without obstruction by pixel structures. Furthermore, when an LCD panel is used, zoom lens 122 can be integrated with the LCD panel, eliminating the need for openings in the LCD panel and improving the mechanical strength of the LCD panel.
[0096] In particular, in electronic devices currently using LCD panels, the display screen in the area corresponding to the under-screen camera (i.e., the second display area 122) is merely a redundant block without the function of adjusting the direction of light transmission. The technical solution of the present application utilizes the liquid crystal layer in this area to produce a zoom lens 122, which can not only realize the zoom function but also improve the integration.
