[0003] Currently, the popular fill light method on the market is mainly to use a flash light for fill light. However, the fill light has a limited supplementary effect, resulting in a poor overall shooting effect of the terminal device. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application aims to provide an electronic device, which at least solves the problem of poor fill light effect of terminal devices in the related art.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0006] The present application provides an electronic device, including:

[0007] A shell body, wherein a through hole is provided on the shell body;

[0008] A camera module is disposed in the housing, and faces the through hole;

[0009] A decorative ring assembly is disposed in the housing;

[0010] A light-emitting component is connected to the decorative ring assembly, and the decorative ring assembly and the light-emitting component are distributed along the circumference of the through hole;

[0011] The dimming component is arranged in the decorative ring component. The dimming component has variable light transmittance. The light emitted by the light-emitting component is emitted outward through the dimming component.

[0012] In the embodiment of the present application, a dimming element is provided inside the decorative ring assembly, and the dimming element is located on the light path of the light emitted by the light emitting element, so that the light emitted by the light emitting element will pass through the dimming element, and the light transmittance of the dimming element can be adjusted. Therefore, according to the shooting needs of the user, the light transmittance of the dimming element is adjusted, so that the presentation effect of the light emitted outward by the light emitting element can be changed. The coordinated use of the light emitting element and the dimming element is conducive to improving the fill light effect of the electronic device in different scenes, meeting the fill light needs of the user in different scenes, thereby helping to improve the shooting effect of the electronic device and improving the user's photography experience.

[0029] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 8 An electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application is described.

[0030] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the electronic device 100 according to some embodiments of the present application includes: a housing 400, a camera module 170, a decorative ring assembly 120, a light emitting element 130 and a dimming element 140. The housing 400 is provided with a through hole 410. The camera module 170 is arranged in the housing 400, and the camera module 170 faces the through hole 410. The decorative ring assembly 120 is arranged in the housing 400, and the light emitting element 130 is connected to the decorative ring assembly 120. The decorative ring assembly 120 and the light emitting element 130 are both arranged along the circumference of the through hole 410 ( Figure 2 The arrow at C in the middle points to the distribution, the dimming element 140 is arranged in the decorative ring assembly 120, the dimming element 140 has variable light transmittance, and the light emitted by the light-emitting element 130 is emitted outward through the dimming element 140.

[0031] The decorative ring assembly 120 and the light-emitting component 130 are both distributed along the circumference of the through hole 410, so the decorative ring assembly 120 and the light-emitting component 130 are set to a ring structure. The decorative ring assembly 120 is used for decoration, and the decorative ring assembly 120 can also cover the internal components of the electronic device, which is beneficial to improve the aesthetics of the electronic device.

[0032] A light-emitting component 130 is installed on the decorative ring assembly 120. The light-emitting component 130 can emit light. During the shooting process, the light-emitting component 130 can be turned on for fill-in light. In a darker environment, the light-emitting component 130 can fill in light for the characters and the environment, improving the brightness, color, clarity, and blurring effects of dark-light portraits and motion portrait scenes.

[0033] A dimming element 140 is also provided inside the decorative ring assembly 120. The dimming element 140 is located on the light path of the light emitted by the light emitting element 130, so that the light emitted by the light emitting element 130 will pass through the dimming element 140. The light transmittance of the dimming element 140 can be adjusted. Therefore, according to the user's shooting needs, the light transmittance of the dimming element 140 is adjusted, so that the presentation effect of the light emitted outward from the light emitting element 130 can be changed. The coordinated use of the light emitting element 130 and the dimming element 140 is conducive to improving the fill light effect of the electronic device 100 in different scenes, meeting the fill light needs of the user in different scenes, thereby helping to improve the shooting effect of the electronic device 100 and improving the user's shooting experience.

[0034] In this embodiment, the light emitting element 130 is limited to be distributed along the circumference of the through hole 410. Compared with the method of using a flash to fill light, the light emitting element 130 in this embodiment fully utilizes the space on the electronic device 100 and increases the light emitting area of ​​the light emitting element 130, thereby realizing the function of large-area fill light. It should be noted that, since the light emitted by the light emitting element 130 needs to pass through the dimming element 140, when the light emitting element 130 is distributed along the circumference of the through hole 410, the dimming element 140 is also distributed along the circumference of the through hole 410.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, a groove 121 is provided on one side of the decorative ring assembly 120 away from the through hole 410 , the light emitting element 130 is located in the groove 121 , and the dimming element 140 is disposed at the opening of the groove 121 .

[0036] A groove 121 is formed on the decorative ring assembly 120, and the groove 121 provides a storage space for the light-emitting component 130. The light-emitting component 130 is installed in the groove 121. When the light-emitting component 130 is illuminated, the bottom wall of the groove 121 and the side walls of the groove 121 reflect and refract the light, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting component 130 can only be emitted outward through the opening of the groove 121, thereby improving the light gathering effect.

[0037] The dimming element 140 is installed at the opening position of the groove 121. Since the light emitted by the light-emitting element 130 can only be emitted through the opening of the groove 121, the dimming element 140 is set at the opening of the groove 121 to ensure that the light can pass through the dimming element 140, so that the dimming element 140 can dim the presentation effect of the light emitted outward.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the first side of the dimming element 140 faces the groove 121 , and the area of ​​the first side of the dimming element 140 is greater than or equal to the opening area of ​​the groove 121 , so that the dimming element 140 can cover the groove 121 .

[0039] The side of the dimming element 140 facing the groove 121 is the first side of the dimming element 140. The area of ​​the first side of the dimming element 140 is set to S1, and the opening area of ​​the groove 121 is S2. S1 is greater than or equal to S2. In this case, the dimming element 140 can completely cover the opening of the groove 121, so that all the light emitted from the groove 121 by the light-emitting element 130 passes through the dimming element 140, which is beneficial to improve the modulation effect of the light.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the electronic device 100 further includes a lens 110, the lens 110 is connected to the decorative ring assembly 120, the decorative ring assembly 120 is distributed along the circumference of the lens 110 (in the same direction as the circumference of the through hole 410), and the first side of the lens 110 faces the camera module 170. The decorative ring assembly 120 includes: a first decorative ring 122 and a light-transmitting decorative ring 123, the light-emitting element 130 is connected to the first decorative ring 122, the light-transmitting decorative ring 123 is arranged on a side of the first decorative ring 122 facing the lens 110, the dimming element 140 is attached to a side of the light-transmitting decorative ring 123 away from the through hole 410, and the plane where the first side of the lens 110 is located is used as the projection surface, and the projection of the light-emitting element 130 on the projection surface is distributed at intervals from the lens 110.

[0041] The light emitting element 130 is mounted on the first decorative ring 122. In this embodiment, a groove 121 is provided on the first decorative ring 122, so that the light emitting element 130 can be mounted in the groove 121. The light-transmitting decorative ring 123 is mounted on the first decorative ring 122, and the dimming element 140 is located between the light-transmitting decorative ring 123 and the first decorative ring 122, and the dimming element 140 is attached to the light-transmitting decorative ring 123, so that the larger surface area of ​​the dimming element 140 faces the light emitting element 130. The light-transmitting decorative ring 123 has a good light-transmitting effect, so that the light passing through the dimming element 140 can pass through the light-transmitting decorative ring 123, ensuring that the light emitted by the light emitting element 130 can achieve the fill light function.

[0042] The projection of the light emitting component 130 on the projection surface is spaced apart from the lens 110. Therefore, in this embodiment, the light emitting component 130 and the lens 110 are staggered so that the light emitted by the light emitting component 130 is emitted through the light-transmitting decorative ring 123, and the light emitted by the light emitting component 130 is not emitted outward through the lens 110, thereby improving the brightness of the emitted external light.

[0043] In some embodiments, optionally, the decorative ring assembly 120 also includes: a second decorative ring 124, the second decorative ring 124 is connected to the side of the light-transmitting decorative ring 123 that is away from the first decorative ring 122, the second decorative ring 124 supports the lens 110 along the circumference of the lens 110, and the hardness of the second decorative ring 124 is less than the hardness of the light-transmitting decorative ring 123.

[0044] The second decorative ring 124 supports the lens 110 , and the hardness of the second decorative ring 124 is set to be small, so that the second decorative ring 124 is not easy to damage the lens 110 , thereby reducing the damage rate of the lens 110 .

[0045] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the electronic device 100 further includes a lens 110, the lens 110 is connected to a decorative ring assembly 120, the decorative ring assembly 120 is distributed along the circumference of the lens 110, and the first side of the lens 110 faces the camera module 170. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the arrow at H in the figure points to the direction), the light emitting element 130 is arranged opposite to the lens 110, and the dimming element 140 is connected to the lens 110.

[0046] In this embodiment, the dimming element 140 is located in the space enclosed by the decorative ring assembly 120, but the dimming element 140 is installed on the lens 110. Since the light-emitting element 130 needs to be arranged opposite to the dimming element 140, the light-emitting element 130 is arranged opposite to the lens 110 in the thickness direction of the lens 110, and the light emitted by the light-emitting element 130 passes through the lens 110 and is arranged outward.

[0047] In this embodiment, no decorative ring is provided under the path of the light emitted from the light emitting element 130, that is, the light is directly emitted outward after passing through the dimming element 140 and the lens 110, and the light may diverge when passing through the decorative ring. When the external light passes through the lens 110, the divergent light may affect the external light entering the lens 110, thereby possibly affecting the effect of the electronic device 100 in acquiring an image. In this embodiment, the light emitted outward does not need to pass through the decorative ring, thereby avoiding the influence on the external light passing through the lens 110.

[0048] In some embodiments, optionally, in combination Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the light emitting element 130 includes: an optical fiber assembly 131, and the optical fiber assembly 131 is distributed along the circumference of the lens 110. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the light emitting member 130 includes: a first light source 134 and a lampshade 135 . The first light source 134 is distributed along the circumference of the lens 110 . The lampshade 135 is covered on the first light source 134 . The lampshade 135 is located between the light emitting member 130 and the first light source 134 .

[0049] The optical fiber assembly 131 can emit light to achieve the function of fill light.

[0050] Alternatively, the first light source 134 may be used to emit light, and the lampshade 135 may illuminate the first light source 134 , so that the light is reflected multiple times in the lampshade 135 to form a luminous ring.

[0051] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, optionally, the light emitting member 130 includes an optical fiber assembly 131, and the optical fiber assembly 131 is distributed along the circumference of the lens 110.

[0052] The second light source 132 shines light to the optical fiber 133, and the light is emitted outward through the optical fiber 133. When the light emitting element 130 and the lens 110 are arranged opposite to each other, the second light source 132 is usually relatively far away from the lens 110 due to the limitation of the installation position. In order to shorten the distance between the optical fiber 133 and the lens 110, in this embodiment, a part of the optical fiber 133 is bent toward the lens 110, so that the light can approach the lens 110. The light emitted by the optical fiber 133 is emitted from the lens 110 through a shorter path, which is conducive to improving the brightness of the light emitted from the lens 110.
