Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of electronic technology, and in particular to a display component and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] Mobile phones, tablets, smartwatches, and other electronic devices have become indispensable technological products in people's lives, studies, and entertainment. With the development of electronic devices, their integration is becoming increasingly sophisticated. At the same time, in order to adapt to the trend of thinner and lighter designs, the electronic components inside electronic devices are becoming more and more compact, placing higher demands on the utilization of internal space.

[0003] In related technologies, some electronic devices feature retractable display components, allowing for adjustable display area to meet diverse user needs and thus gaining popularity. However, the transmission structure of these retractable display components has defects, resulting in a relatively large thickness of the electronic devices and hindering the development of thinner and lighter electronic devices. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This disclosure provides a display component and an electronic device. The display component has a simple transmission structure and occupies little space in the housing thickness, which facilitates the realization of a thinner and lighter electronic device.

[0005] The technical solution is as follows: According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a display component is provided, including a housing assembly, a flexible display screen, and a flexible transmission member. The housing assembly includes a housing and a slider slidably connected to the housing. The housing includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. The slider includes a first side portion. Along the sliding direction of the slider, the first connecting portion, the second connecting portion, and the first side portion are sequentially spaced apart. The flexible display screen covers the slider, and one side of the flexible display screen is connected to the first connecting portion. The other side of the flexible display screen bypasses the first side portion and faces the second connecting portion. One end of the flexible transmission member is connected to the second connecting portion, and a portion of the flexible transmission member bypasses the slider, such that the other end of the flexible transmission member is connected to the other side of the flexible display screen.

[0006] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure may include the following beneficial effects: The flexible display screen of this display component covers the sliding member and can be rolled up to the back of the housing. When the flexible display screen is unfolded, the sliding member moves away from the housing, causing the other side of the flexible display screen on the back of the housing to move away from the first connecting part, thereby allowing more of the flexible display screen to be placed on the front of the housing, expanding the display area on the front of the housing. During this process, the flexible transmission member moves with the flexible display screen, allowing the flexible display screen to be smoothly placed on the housing assembly. When the flexible display screen needs to switch from the unfolded state to the retracted state, the sliding member moves towards the first connecting part, and the other side of the flexible display screen moves towards the first connecting part, causing more of the flexible display screen to be placed on the back of the housing, reducing the display area on the front of the housing. During this process, the flexible transmission member pulls the flexible display screen back, allowing the flexible display screen to be smoothly placed on the housing assembly. In this way, the display component, through the cooperation of the flexible transmission member and the sliding member, allows the flexible display screen to smoothly unfold or retract on the housing assembly. The transmission structure is simple, occupies little space in the housing thickness, and is conducive to achieving the thinness and lightness of electronic devices.

[0007] The technical solution of this disclosure will be further explained below: In one embodiment, when the flexible display is in a retracted state, the flexible transmission member is bent at least twice, and then the other end of the flexible transmission member is connected to the other side of the flexible display; and / or, the flexible transmission member is tensioned between the second connection and the flexible display.

[0008] In one embodiment, the housing includes a connecting plate that is spaced apart from the slider to form a first gap, and the connecting plate has a second connecting portion; when the flexible display screen is in a retracted state, the flexible transmission component passes around the slider through the first gap.

[0009] In one embodiment, the connecting plate includes a first surface and a second surface spaced apart along its thickness direction. The first surface and the sliding member are spaced apart to form a first gap. The connecting plate has an opening spaced apart from the first connecting portion. A second connecting portion is disposed between the opening and the first connecting portion and is located on the second surface. One end of the flexible transmission member passes through the opening and is connected to the second connecting portion.

[0010] In one embodiment, the second connecting part includes a clamping block that presses against the connecting plate to fix one end of the flexible transmission member to the connecting plate.

[0011] In one embodiment, the display component further includes a first transmission wheel rotatably disposed at the opening, and a flexible transmission member rotatably engages with the first transmission wheel.

[0012] In one embodiment, the slider includes a second side spaced apart from the first side, the second side being disposed close to the first connecting portion relative to the first side; when the flexible display is in a retracted state, the flexible transmission member bypasses the second side.

[0013] In one embodiment, the display component further includes a second transmission wheel disposed on the second side, and the flexible transmission member is rotatably engaged with the second transmission wheel.

[0014] In one embodiment, a second side portion is disposed between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion along the sliding direction of the slider. And / or, the connecting plate is slidably connected to the slider.

[0015] In one embodiment, the housing includes a first side plate and a second side plate spaced apart along the sliding direction of the slider, a first connecting portion is disposed on the first side plate, and a second connecting portion is disposed between the first side plate and the second side plate.

[0016] In one embodiment, the display component further includes a rotatable roller disposed on the first side, the flexible display screen covering the roller, and the other side of the flexible display screen bypassing the roller and connected to the other end of the flexible transmission component.

[0017] In one embodiment, the housing assembly further includes a first support member fixed to the housing and a second support member slidably connected to the housing, the second support member being connected to a sliding member. When the flexible display screen is in a retracted state, the first support member supports the flexible display screen, and the second support member is positioned close to the first support member. When the flexible display screen is in an unfolded state, the second support member is positioned away from the first support member and cooperates with the first support member to support the flexible display screen.

[0018] In one embodiment, the first support member has a receiving recess; when the flexible display screen is in a retracted state, at least a portion of the second support member is inserted into the receiving recess.

[0019] In one embodiment, the display component further includes a driver, which includes a telescopic portion, the driver being disposed between the housing and the slider, and the other being drively connected to the telescopic portion.

[0020] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, an electronic device is also provided, including a control module and a display component as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the control module is communicatively connected to a flexible display screen.

[0021] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure may include the following beneficial effects: The electronic device uses the aforementioned display component, which, through the cooperation of a flexible transmission component and a sliding component, allows the flexible display screen to smoothly unfold or retract on the housing assembly.

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and do not limit the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0040] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this disclosure.

[0041] Currently, mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices have become indispensable technological products in people's lives, studies, and entertainment, bringing numerous conveniences and enjoyment. With the diversification of electronic device functions, there are now many types and brands available, offering consumers a wide range of choices. Simply improving the functional characteristics of electronic devices is no longer sufficient to meet people's demands; the aesthetics of the device's casing have also become a crucial factor influencing its competitiveness. Among electronic devices with similar functions or performance, the more attractive the appearance, the more likely it is to attract consumers to purchase it.

[0042] As flexible displays become more mature, their application in electronic devices is becoming increasingly widespread. Electronic devices using flexible displays can shrink for easy portability, and when unfolded, they offer a larger display area, thus gaining increasing popularity among consumers.

[0043] In related technologies, some electronic devices feature retractable display components, allowing for adjustable display area to meet diverse user needs and thus gaining popularity. However, the retractable display component requires springs and pull-back mechanisms to achieve the retraction and expansion of the flexible display screen, which occupies considerable thickness space, resulting in a thicker electronic device and hindering the development of thinner and lighter electronic devices.

[0044] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a display component and an electronic device. The display component has a simple transmission structure and occupies little space in the housing thickness, which facilitates the realization of a thinner and lighter electronic device.

[0045] To better understand the display component of this disclosure, it will be described using an electronic device in which the display component is applied.

[0046] Figures 1 to 5 This is a structural view of an electronic device and its display component as shown in one embodiment. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device shown in one embodiment. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the display component. Figure 3 for Figure 2 The diagram shows the structure of the display component from a downward viewing angle. Figure 4 for Figure 3 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the display component in the first cutting direction. Figure 5 for Figure 4 An enlarged schematic diagram of region A shown.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in some embodiments of this disclosure, an electronic device 10 is provided, including a control module 100 and a display component 200. The display component 200 includes a housing assembly 210, a flexible display screen 220, and a flexible transmission member 230. The housing assembly 210 includes a housing 211 and a slider 212 slidably connected to the housing 211. The housing 211 includes a first connecting portion 2111 and a second connecting portion 2112. The slider 212 includes a first side portion 2121. Along the sliding direction of the slider 212, the first connecting portion 2111, the second connecting portion 2112, and the first side portion 2121 are sequentially spaced apart. The flexible display screen 220 covers the slider 212, and one side of the flexible display screen 220 is connected to the first connecting portion 2111. The other side of the flexible display screen 220 bypasses the first side portion 2121 and is disposed towards the second connecting portion 2112. One end of the flexible transmission member 230 is connected to the second connecting part 2112, and a portion of the flexible transmission member 230 bypasses the sliding member 212, so that the other end of the flexible transmission member 230 is connected to the other side of the flexible display screen 220. The control module 100 is communicatively connected to the flexible display screen 220.

[0048] The flexible display screen 220 of the display component 200 covers the slider 212 and can be rolled up to the back of the housing 211. When the flexible display screen 220 is unfolded, the slider 212 moves away from the housing 211, causing the other side of the flexible display screen 220 on the back of the housing 211 to move away from the first connecting portion 2111, thereby allowing more of the flexible display screen 220 to be disposed on the front of the housing 211, expanding the display area on the front of the housing 211. During this process, the flexible transmission component 230 moves with the flexible display screen 220, allowing the flexible display screen 220 to be smoothly disposed on the housing component 210. When the flexible display screen 220 needs to switch from the unfolded state to the retracted state, the slider 212 moves closer to the first connecting portion 2111, and the other side of the flexible display screen 220 moves closer to the first connecting portion 2111, causing more of the flexible display screen 220 to be retracted to the back of the housing 211, thus reducing the display area on the front of the housing 211. During this process, the flexible transmission component 230 pulls back the flexible display screen 220, allowing the flexible display screen 220 to be smoothly mounted on the housing assembly 210. Thus, the display component 200, through the cooperation of the flexible transmission component 230 and the sliding component 212, allows the flexible display screen 220 to smoothly unfold or retract on the housing assembly 210. The transmission structure is simple, occupies little space in the thickness of the housing 211, and facilitates the thinning and lightening of the electronic device 10.

[0049] The electronic device 10 may include a gimbal, vehicle, handheld device, in-vehicle device, wearable device, monitoring device, mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop, in-vehicle computer, smart office monitor, smart display blackboard, smart advertising display board, etc., as well as other electronic devices 10 with image display functions.

[0050] It should be noted that the flexible transmission component 230 can be implemented in various ways, including but not limited to chains, transmission belts, transmission tracks, transmission ropes, etc.

[0051] In some embodiments, the flexible transmission element 230 is a transmission belt. This further reduces the space occupied by the housing 211, making it easier to achieve a thinner and lighter electronic device 10.

[0052] In some embodiments, the housing 211 is a mid-frame. This allows for a smoother unfolding or retraction of the flexible display 220 on the housing assembly 210. Furthermore, using the mid-frame to integrate the slider 212, the flexible transmission component 230, and the flexible display 220 makes the structure of the display component 200 more compact.

[0053] In other embodiments, the housing 211 may also have other frame structures.

[0054] Based on any of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, when the flexible display screen 220 is in a retracted state, the flexible transmission member 230 bends at least twice before its other end connects to the other side of the flexible display screen 220. This allows for better utilization of the thickness of the housing 211 to accommodate the flexible transmission member 230, providing more clearance for the retracted flexible display screen 220 and facilitating an increase in the display area of ​​the unfolded display component 200.

[0055] Based on any of the above embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the flexible transmission member 230 is tensioned between the second connecting portion 2112 and the flexible display screen 220. Thus, by having the tensioned flexible transmission member 230 move with or return to the flexible display screen 220, the flexible display screen 220 smoothly switches between its unfolded and retracted states, preventing wrinkling.

[0056] Optionally, the flexible transmission component 230 includes structures such as belts and transmission ropes.

[0057] Based on any of the above embodiments, such as Figure 4 as well as Figure 11As shown, in some embodiments, the display component 200 further includes a rolling element 240 rotatably disposed on the first side portion 2121. The flexible display screen 220 covers the rolling element 240, and the other side of the flexible display screen 220 bypasses the rolling element 240 and connects to the other end of the flexible transmission member 230. In this way, the flexible display screen 220 abuts against the sliding member 212 through the rolling element 240, resulting in low friction and smoother movement of the flexible display screen 220 during movement.

[0058] It should be noted that the rolling element 240 can be implemented in various ways, including but not limited to structures such as rollers, drums, and shafts.

[0059] Based on any of the above embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 211 includes a connecting plate 2113 that is spaced apart from the slider 212 to form a first gap 2003. The connecting plate 2113 is provided with a second connecting portion 2112. When the flexible display screen 220 is in a retracted state, the flexible transmission member 230 partially passes around the slider 212 through the first gap 2003. Thus, by providing the second connecting portion 2112 on the connecting plate 2113, it is convenient to use the first gap 2003 to accommodate the flexible transmission member 230, making the structure of the display component 200 more compact and helping to further reduce the thickness space of the display component 200.

[0060] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figures 4 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting plate 2113 includes a first surface 2001 and a second surface 2002 spaced apart along its thickness direction. The first surface 2001 and the sliding member 212 are spaced apart to form a first gap 2003. The connecting plate 2113 is provided with an opening 2004 spaced apart from the first connecting portion 2111. The second connecting portion 2112 is disposed between the opening 2004 and the first connecting portion 2111. The second connecting portion 2112 is disposed on the second surface 2002. One end of the flexible transmission member 230 passes through the opening 2004 and is connected to the second connecting portion 2112. Thus, by setting the second connecting part 2112 on the second surface 2002, one end of the flexible transmission member 230 is fixed to the inner side of the connecting plate 2113, and bends into the first gap 2003 through the opening 2004. After passing through the first gap 2003, it is connected to the flexible display screen 220. This allows for better utilization of the thickness space of the housing 211 to set the flexible transmission member 230, providing more clearance space for the flexible display screen 220 after it is retracted, which is beneficial to expanding the display area of ​​the display component 200 after it is unfolded.

[0061] It should be noted that there are various ways to connect the flexible transmission component 230 and the second connecting part 2112, including but not limited to riveting, screwing, snap-fitting, adhesive bonding, etc.

[0062] In conjunction with the above embodiments, such as Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the second connecting part 2112 includes a clamping block, which is pressed and engaged with the connecting plate 2113 to fix one end of the flexible transmission member 230 to the connecting plate 2113. In this way, by pressing and engaging the clamping block with the connecting plate 2113, one end of the flexible transmission member 230 is pressed and fixed on the connecting plate 2113, which is convenient for installation and easy for later maintenance.

[0063] Optionally, the clamping block can be fixed to the connecting plate 2113 by fasteners 202 such as bolts and screws.

[0064] Optionally, there are at least two flexible transmission components 230, which are pressed onto the connecting plate 2113 by clamping blocks.

[0065] In conjunction with any embodiment of the above-described opening 2004, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the display component 200 further includes a first transmission wheel 250 rotatably disposed at the opening 2004, and the flexible transmission member 230 rotatably engages with the first transmission wheel 250. Thus, through the rotatable engagement of the first transmission wheel 250 and the flexible transmission member 230, the friction of the flexible transmission member 230 during movement is reduced, thereby reducing the moving resistance of the flexible display screen 220 and making switching smoother. Furthermore, it also helps to reduce the wear of the flexible transmission member 230, increase its service life, and improve the reliability of the electronic device 10.

[0066] Based on any of the above embodiments, such as Figures 4 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the slider 212 includes a second side 2122 spaced apart from the first side 2121. The second side 2122 is positioned closer to the first connecting portion 2111 than the first side 2121. When the flexible display screen 220 is in a retracted state, the flexible transmission member 230 bypasses the second side 2122. Thus, by placing the second connecting portion 2112 on the second surface 2002, one end of the flexible transmission member 230 is fixed to the inner side of the connecting plate 2113 and bends through the opening 2004 into the first gap 2003. After passing through the first gap 2003 and bypassing the second side 2122, it connects to the flexible display screen 220. This allows for better utilization of the thickness space of the housing 211 to accommodate the flexible transmission member 230, providing more clearance for the retracted flexible display screen 220 and facilitating an increase in the display area of ​​the unfolded display component 200.

[0067] In conjunction with the above embodiments, refer to Figure 7 as well as Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, the display component 200 further includes a second transmission wheel 260 disposed on the second side 2122, and the flexible transmission member 230 is rotatably engaged with the second transmission wheel 260. Thus, through the rotatable engagement of the second transmission wheel 260 and the flexible transmission member 230, the friction of the flexible transmission member 230 during movement is reduced, thereby reducing the moving resistance of the flexible display screen 220 and making switching smoother. Furthermore, it also helps to reduce the wear of the flexible transmission member 230, increase its service life, and improve the reliability of the electronic device 10.

[0068] It should be noted that the specific structures of the first and second transmission wheels can be selected based on the structure of the flexible transmission component. For example, the flexible transmission component can be a belt, and the first and second transmission wheels can be pulleys. Alternatively, the flexible transmission component can be a chain, and the first and second transmission wheels can be sprockets. Or, the flexible transmission component can be a tension rope, and the first and second transmission wheels can be pulleys.

[0069] In conjunction with any embodiment of the second side portion 2122 described above, such as Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, along the sliding direction of the slider 212, the second side portion 2122 is disposed between the first connecting portion 2111 and the second connecting portion 2112. Thus, even when the flexible display screen 220 is in the unfolded state, the flexible connector bypasses the second side portion 2122 before connecting to the flexible display screen 220, facilitating the tightening of the flexible connector and allowing the flexible display screen 220 to be smoothly mounted on the housing assembly 210.

[0070] Optionally, in some embodiments, the connecting plate 2113 is slidably connected to the slider 212. This makes the sliding of the slider 212 smoother, resulting in smoother movement of the flexible display screen 220.

[0071] Based on any of the above embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 as well as Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 211 includes a first side plate 2114 and a second side plate 2115 spaced apart along the sliding direction of the slider 212. A first connecting portion 2111 is disposed on the first side plate 2114, and a second connecting portion 2112 is disposed between the first side plate 2114 and the second side plate 2115. Thus, by providing the first side plate 2114 and the second side plate 2115 to form a reinforcing rib structure, the cross-sectional area of ​​the housing 211 in the thickness direction can be increased, ensuring the supporting strength of the housing 211 while reducing its weight.

[0072] Optionally, the second connecting portion 2112 is disposed in the middle between the first side plate 2114 and the second side plate 2115.

[0073] like Figure 4 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 as well as Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 211 further includes at least one reinforcing plate 2116 disposed between the first side plate 2114 and the second side plate 2115. Thus, the strength of the housing 211 can be further improved by using the reinforcing plate 2116.

[0074] The first side plate 2114, the second side plate 2115, and the reinforcing plate 2116 are integrally formed with the connecting plate 2113, as described above. This reduces assembly steps and improves the production efficiency of the display component 200.

[0075] Based on any of the above embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 10 as well as Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing assembly 210 further includes a first support member 213 fixed to the housing 211 and a second support member 214 slidably connected to the housing 211, the second support member 214 being connected to the slider 212. When the flexible display screen 220 is in a retracted state, the first support member 213 supports the flexible display screen 220, and the second support member 214 is positioned close to the first support member 213. When the flexible display screen 220 is in an unfolded state, the second support member 214 is positioned away from the first support member 213 and cooperates with the first support member 213 to support the flexible display screen 220. Thus, the size of the support surface is adjustable through the cooperation of the first support member 213 and the second support member 214, decreasing as the flexible display screen 220 retracts and increasing as the flexible display screen 220 unfolds.

[0076] Optionally, the first support member 213 is in the form of a support plate. Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 10 as well as Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the first support member 213 is provided with a receiving recess 2131; when the flexible display screen 220 is in a retracted state, at least a portion of the second support member 214 is inserted into the receiving recess 2131. Thus, by providing the receiving recess 2131, the thickness space of the first support member 213 can be fully utilized to accommodate the second support member 214, making the structure of the housing assembly 210 more compact, which is beneficial for reducing the thickness of the display component 200 and achieving a thinner and lighter electronic device 10.

[0077] It should be noted that the receiving recess 2131 includes a receiving hole and a receiving groove structure.

[0078] The specific number of receiving recesses 2131 can be selected according to time requirements, and the insertion protrusions 2141 of the second support member 214 correspond one-to-one with the receiving recesses 2131.

[0079] Optionally, the first support member 213 is detachably mounted on the housing 211.

[0080] In some embodiments, the second support 214 is integrally formed with the slider 212.
