Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of electronic equipment, and specifically relates to an electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] Electronic devices have become an indispensable tool in people's daily lives. They can be used to shoot videos, communicate remotely, etc. In addition, foldable electronic devices are gradually gaining popularity. Generally, a foldable electronic device includes a flexible screen group and a foldable housing. The flexible screen group is arranged on the housing so that when the housing is folded, the flexible screen group can be bent or unfolded.

[0003] In the related art, the flexible screen group has multiple screen stacks, and two adjacent screen stacks are bonded by optical glue. Since the flexible screen has a certain thickness, the bending radius between each screen stack is different during the process from unfolding to folding, and the screen stacks will slide against each other, resulting in a certain gradient at the edge of the screen stack. In addition, since the flexible screen group and the shell of the electronic device are fixed with adhesive backing, the slippage of the bottom layer in the flexible screen group during the bending process is extremely small or does not slide. Among them, the bottom layer is the stacking layer bonded to the flexible screen group and the shell. This will cause the slippage of other screen stacks in the flexible screen group to increase, and the optical glue between the screen stacks in the flexible screen group will be subjected to increased force, which is prone to the risk of delamination and debonding of the screen stacks. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide an electronic device that at least solves the problem of the risk of delamination of the screen lamination.

[0005] An embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, the electronic device comprising: a first housing, a second housing, and a flexible screen group;

[0006] The first housing is hinged to the second housing so that the electronic device can be switched between a folded state and an unfolded state;

[0007] The flexible screen group is covered on the first shell and the second shell, the flexible screen group has a setting surface facing the first shell, a sliding component is arranged on the setting surface, a sliding part matching with the sliding component is arranged in the first shell and / or the second shell, and the sliding component is slidably connected with the sliding part;

[0008] When the first shell and the second shell are close to each other or away from each other, the flexible screen group drives the sliding component to slide relative to the sliding part.

[0009] In the embodiment of the present application, since the first shell and the second shell are hinged, the electronic device can be switched between the folded state and the unfolded state by applying force to the first shell and / or the second shell. Since the flexible screen group cover is arranged on the first shell and the second shell, when the force is applied to the first shell and / or the second shell, the flexible screen group will be driven by the first shell and / or the second shell to bend the flexible screen group in the process of the first shell and the second shell approaching or moving away from each other. Since the flexible screen group has a setting surface, a sliding component is arranged on the setting surface, and a sliding part cooperating with the sliding component is arranged in the first shell and / or the second shell, and the sliding component is slidably connected with the sliding part, therefore, in the process of the flexible screen group being driven to bend by the first shell and / or the second shell, the sliding component on the flexible screen group will slide relative to the sliding part in the first shell and / or the second shell, so as to avoid the flexible screen group being fixed to the shell of the electronic device by the back glue, resulting in the flexible screen group being bent. The optical glue between each screen stack in the flexible screen group is subjected to increased force, which is easy to cause the risk of delamination and debonding of the screen stack. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, a sliding component is arranged on the setting surface of the flexible screen group, and a sliding part matching the sliding component is arranged in the first shell and / or the second shell, and the sliding component is slidable relative to the sliding part. Therefore, in the process of the first shell and / or the second shell driving the flexible screen group to bend, the flexible screen group drives the sliding component to slide relative to the sliding part, so that the screen stacks in the flexible screen group are bent at the same time, thereby avoiding the problem that the optical glue between the screen stacks in the flexible screen group is subjected to large force, resulting in easy delamination and debonding of the screen stacks, thereby effectively extending the service life of the flexible screen group.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the electronic device includes: a first shell 10, a second shell 20 and a flexible screen group 30.

[0026] The first shell 10 is hinged to the second shell 20 so that the electronic device can switch between a folded state and an unfolded state; the flexible screen group 30 is covered on the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, and the flexible screen group 30 has a setting surface 301 facing the side of the first shell 10, and a sliding component 40 is arranged on the setting surface 301. A sliding part 100 cooperating with the sliding component 40 is arranged in the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, and the sliding component 40 is slidably connected to the sliding part 100; when the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are close to or away from each other, the flexible screen group 30 drives the sliding component 40 to slide relative to the sliding part 100.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present application, since the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are hinged, the electronic device can be switched between the folded state and the unfolded state by applying force to the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20. Since the flexible screen group 30 is covered on the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, when force is applied to the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, the flexible screen group 30 will be driven by the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20 to bend in the process of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 approaching or moving away from each other. Since the flexible screen group 30 has a setting surface 301, a sliding component 40 is arranged on the setting surface 301, a sliding part 100 matching the sliding component 40 is arranged in the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, and the sliding component 40 is slidably connected to the sliding part 100. Therefore, in the process of the flexible screen group 30 being driven to bend by the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, the sliding component 40 on the flexible screen group 30 will slide relative to the sliding part 100 in the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, thereby avoiding the problem that the flexible screen group 30 is fixed to the shell of the electronic device with a backing glue, resulting in increased force on the optical glue between the screen stacks in the flexible screen group 30 during the bending process of the flexible screen group 30, which is easy to cause the risk of delamination and debonding of the screen stacks. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, a sliding component 40 is arranged on the setting surface 301 of the flexible screen group 30, and a sliding portion 100 matching the sliding component 40 is arranged in the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, and the sliding component 40 is slidable relative to the sliding portion 100. Therefore, in the process of the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20 driving the flexible screen group 30 to bend, the flexible screen group 30 drives the sliding component 40 to slide relative to the sliding portion 100, so that the screen stacks in the flexible screen group 30 are bent at the same time, thereby avoiding the problem that the optical glue between the screen stacks in the flexible screen group 30 is subjected to large force, resulting in easy delamination and debonding of the screen stacks, thereby effectively extending the service life of the flexible screen group 30.

[0028] It should be noted that the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 can be connected by a hinge, so that the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are hinged. Of course, the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 can also be connected by a rotating shaft, so that the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are hinged. This embodiment of the application is not limited here.

[0029] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 1As shown, the flexible screen group 30 may include a first sub-screen group 310 and a second sub-screen group 320, and the first sub-screen group 310 is connected to the second sub-screen group 320. The first sub-screen group 310 is covered on the first shell 10, and the second sub-screen group 320 is covered on the second shell 20, and the connection part where the first sub-screen group 310 and the second sub-screen group 320 are connected is covered on the connection position where the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are connected. In the embodiment of the present application, the sliding component 40 can be set only on the setting surface 301 of the first sub-screen group 310. In this case, the first shell 10 is provided with a sliding part 100 that cooperates with the sliding component 40. The sliding component 40 can also be set only on the setting surface 301 of the second sub-screen group 320. In this case, the second shell 20 is provided with a sliding part 100 that cooperates with the sliding component 40. The sliding component 40 can also be set on the setting surface 301 of the first sub-screen group 310 and the setting surface 301 of the second sub-screen group 320. In this case, the sliding part 100 that cooperates with the sliding component 40 is provided in both the first shell 10 and the second shell 20.

[0030] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, by setting a sliding component 40 on the setting surface 301 of the flexible screen group 30, and setting a sliding part 100 that cooperates with the sliding component 40 in the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, it is possible to avoid the edge of the setting surface 301 of the flexible screen group 30 being bonded to the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 by the back glue, thereby simplifying the production process of the electronic device.

[0031] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of sliding components 40 can be set according to actual needs; specifically, when the sliding component 40 is set on the setting surface 301 of the first sub-screen group 310, the number of sliding components 40 on the first sub-screen group 310 can be set according to actual needs, for example, the number of sliding components 40 on the first sub-screen group 310 is 4, and for another example, the number of sliding components 40 on the first sub-screen group 310 is 8, and this embodiment of the present application is not limited here. Among them, when the number of sliding components 40 on the setting surface 301 of the first sub-screen group 310 is multiple, the multiple sliding components 40 can be arranged at intervals. In addition, the number of sliding parts 100 in the first shell 10 is equal to the number of sliding components 40 on the setting surface 301 of the first sub-screen group 310.

[0032] When the setting surface 301 of the second sub-screen group 320 is provided with a sliding component 40, the number of sliding components 40 on the second sub-screen group 320 can be set according to actual needs. For example, the number of sliding components 40 on the second sub-screen group 320 is 4. For another example, the number of sliding components 40 on the second sub-screen group 320 is 8. This is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. Among them, when the number of sliding components 40 on the setting surface 301 of the second sub-screen group 320 is multiple, the multiple sliding components 40 can be arranged at intervals. In addition, the number of sliding parts 100 in the second shell 20 is equal to the number of sliding components 40 on the setting surface 301 of the second sub-screen group 320.

[0033] In addition, in some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device also includes a waterproof component 50; the waterproof component 50 is arranged in the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, the waterproof component 50 is opposite to the sliding part 100 in the direction from the flexible screen group 30 to the sliding assembly 40, and the waterproof component 50 covers the sliding assembly 40.

[0034] After the sliding assembly 40 is set in the flexible screen group 30, the sealing of the position corresponding to the sliding assembly 40 in the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20 may be affected, causing the liquid to flow from the position to the setting surface 301 of the flexible screen group 30, affecting the flexible screen group 30. In this regard, a waterproof member 50 is set in the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, and the waterproof member 50 and the sliding part 100 are opposite in the direction from the flexible screen group 30 to the sliding assembly 40, and the waterproof member 50 covers the sliding assembly 40, so that the waterproof member 50 will seal the position corresponding to the sliding in the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, and the waterproof member 50 covers the sliding assembly 40, ensuring that the position where the sliding assembly 40 cooperates with the sliding part 100 is covered, preventing the liquid from flowing to the position, and then flowing to the setting surface 301 of the flexible screen group 30, causing the display of the flexible screen group 30 to be affected. By providing the waterproof component 50 , the flexible screen group 30 can be effectively protected to prevent liquid from flowing to the flexible screen group 30 at the position where the sliding assembly 40 cooperates with the sliding part 100, thereby improving the display effect of the flexible screen group 30 .

[0035] It should be noted that the waterproof member 50 may be made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Of course, the waterproof member 50 may also be made of other materials, for example, the waterproof member 50 may be made of resin. This is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0036] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the waterproof component 50 can be bonded to the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20 through a sealing component, so that the waterproof component 50 covers the sliding component 40 and seals and waterproofs the position where the sliding component 40 cooperates with the sliding part 100.

[0037] In addition, in some embodiments, the first shell 10 includes a first side and a second side relative to each other, the first side is close to the second shell, the second side is away from the second shell 20, and the sliding portion 100 extends in a direction from the first side to the second side; the sliding assembly 40 can slide along the extension direction of the sliding portion 100.

[0038] When the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are close to each other or away from each other, the flexible screen group 30 can drive the sliding assembly 40 to slide along the extension direction of the sliding part 100, and the sliding part 100 extends from the first side to the second side. When the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are close to each other and the flexible screen group 30 is bent, each stack in the flexible screen group 30 essentially moves along the direction from the first side to the second side, which is equivalent to the extension direction of the sliding part 100 being parallel to the direction in which each screen stack in the flexible screen group 30 moves when the flexible screen group 30 is bent, thereby effectively avoiding the optical glue of each screen stack in the flexible screen group 30 from being subjected to a large force, thereby preventing the screen stack from being easily delaminated and debonded.

[0039] In addition, in some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sliding assembly 40 may include a first sliding member 41, a second sliding member 42 and a third sliding member 43; the first sliding member 41, the second sliding member 42 and the third sliding member 43 are connected in sequence, and the first sliding member 41 and the third sliding member 43 are connected to the setting surface 301, and a first sliding groove 101 is provided in the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, and the first sliding groove 101 extends from the first side to the second side, and the first sliding groove 101 forms at least a part of the sliding portion 100, and the first sliding member 41, the second sliding member 42 and the third sliding member 43 are all embedded in the first sliding groove 101, and the first sliding member 41, the second sliding member 42 and the third sliding member 43 can slide relative to the first sliding groove 101.

[0040] Since the first sliding member 41, the second sliding member 42 and the third sliding member 43 are connected in sequence, and the first sliding member 41 and the third sliding member 43 are connected to the setting surface 301, it is equivalent to having a gap between the second sliding member 42 and the setting surface 301 of the flexible screen group 30, that is, in the direction from the setting surface 301 to the first sliding member 41, the second sliding member 42 protrudes from the first sliding member 41 and the third sliding member 43, so that the first slide groove 101 is set in the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, and the first slide groove 101 can form at least part of the sliding portion 100, and the shape of the first slide groove 101 The shape after the first sliding member 41, the second sliding member 42 and the third sliding member 43 are combined is the same, so that the first sliding member 41, the second sliding member 42 and the third sliding member 43 can be embedded in the first slide groove 101, so that when the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20 drives the flexible screen group 30 to bend, the flexible screen group 30 can drive the first sliding member 41, the second sliding member 42 and the third sliding member 43 to slide relative to the first slide groove 101, so as to avoid the problem that the optical glue between each screen stack in the flexible screen group 30 is subjected to a large force, resulting in the problem that each stack in the flexible screen group 30 is easy to separate. That is, by providing the first sliding member 41, the second sliding member 42 and the third sliding member 43, and embedding the first sliding member 41, the second sliding member 42 and the third sliding member 43 in the first slide groove 101, the optical glue between each screen stack of the flexible component is effectively prevented from being subjected to a large force during the bending process of the flexible screen group 30, thereby ensuring that the service life of the flexible screen group 30 is extended.

[0041] It should be noted that the first sliding member 41, the second sliding member 42 and the third sliding member 43 can be an integrated structure. In this case, the first sliding member 41, the second sliding member 42 and the third sliding member 43 can be formed by bending a steel sheet. The plane where the first sliding member 41 is located is in the same plane as the plane where the third sliding member 43 is located. Of course, the first sliding member 41, the second sliding member 42 and the third sliding member 43 can also be connected by welding. In this regard, the embodiment of the present application is not limited here.

[0042] In addition, the thickness of the steel sheet can be any value in the range of 0.1-0.2 mm. For example, the thickness of the steel sheet is 0.1 mm. For another example, the thickness of the steel sheet is 0.15 mm. For another example, the thickness of the steel sheet is 0.2 mm.

[0043] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the first sliding member 41 , the second sliding member 42 and the third sliding member 43 may also be formed of other materials. For example, the first sliding member 41 , the second sliding member 42 and the third sliding member 43 are all formed of plastic.

[0044] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the first sliding member 41 and the third sliding member 43 can be bonded to the setting surface 301 by adhesive.

[0045] In addition, in some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, a sliding table 102 can be set in the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, and the second sliding member 42 and the setting surface 301 are enclosed to form a sliding cavity, and the sliding cavity extends from the first side to the second side. The sliding table 102 is penetrated in the sliding cavity, and the sliding cavity is slidable relative to the sliding table 102, and the sliding table 102 and the first sliding groove 101 form a sliding part 100.

[0046] Since the second sliding member 42 and the setting surface 301 are enclosed to form a sliding cavity, and the sliding table 102 is arranged in the sliding cavity, therefore, in the process of the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20 driving the flexible screen group 30 to bend, the first sliding member 41, the second sliding member 42 and the third sliding member 43 all slide relative to the first slide groove 101, which is equivalent to the sliding cavity formed by the second sliding member 42 and the setting surface 301 sliding relative to the sliding table 102. In addition, the sliding table 102 is arranged in the sliding cavity, which is equivalent to the sliding table 102 limiting the second sliding member 42 in the direction from the first sliding member 41 to the setting surface 301, that is, the existence of the sliding table 102 avoids the problem of the flexible screen group 30 being separated from the first shell 10 or the second shell 20 in the direction from the first sliding member 41 to the setting surface 301.

[0047] It should be noted that a sliding table 102 is provided in the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20 , and the sliding table 102 can be fixed in the first shell 10 or in the second shell 20 , that is, the sliding table 102 is connected to the first shell 10 or in the second shell 20 .

[0049] Since the first connection part 441 is connected to the setting surface 301 , the projection of the second connection part 442 on the setting surface 301 is located inside the projection of the first connection part 441 on the setting surface 301 . Therefore, the size of the first connection part 441 is larger than that of the second connection part 442 . In addition, a connected second slide groove 103 and a first sliding hole 104 are provided in the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, the first connecting portion 441 is located in the second slide groove 103, the second connecting portion 442 is located in the first sliding hole 104, and the projection of the first sliding hole 104 on the setting surface 301 is located inside the projection of the second slide groove 103 on the setting surface 301. Therefore, it is equivalent to that the size of the first sliding hole 104 is smaller than the size of the second slide groove 103, so that the first connecting portion 441 can be adapted to the second slide groove 103, and the second connecting portion 442 can be adapted to the first sliding hole 104, so that in the process of the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20 driving the flexible screen group 30 to bend, the first connecting portion 441 slides relative to the second slide groove 103, and the second connecting portion 442 slides relative to the first sliding hole 104, which effectively avoids the problem of large force on the optical glue between the screen stacks in the flexible screen group 30, resulting in easy separation between the screen stacks in the flexible screen group 30.

[0050] It should be noted that the first connection portion 441 can be bonded to the setting surface 301 of the flexible screen group 30 by adhesive.

[0052] Since the fifth sliding member 45 includes a connected third connecting portion 451 and a fourth connecting portion 452, the projection of the third connecting portion 451 on the setting surface 301 is located inside the projection of the fourth connecting portion 452 on the setting surface 301, and therefore, the size of the third connecting portion 451 is smaller than the size of the fourth connecting portion 452. Since a connecting hole is provided on the second connecting portion 442, a third slide groove 105 is provided in the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, and the third slide groove 105 is connected to the first sliding hole 104, the third connecting portion 451 can be embedded in the connecting hole. At this time, the fourth connecting portion 452 is located in the third sliding groove. In the process of the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20 driving the flexible screen group 30 to bend, the flexible screen group 30 drives the first sliding member 41, the second sliding member 42 and the third sliding member 43 to move, so that the second sliding member 42 can drive the third connecting portion 451 to move, so that the third connecting portion 451 drives the fourth connecting portion 452 to slide relative to the third slide groove 105, thereby avoiding the problem of large force on the optical glue between the screen layers of the flexible screen group 30. In addition, in the direction from the first connection portion 441 to the setting surface 301, the fourth connection portion 452 at least partially overlaps with the bottom of the third slide groove 105, so that the fourth connection portion 452 can limit the flexible screen group 30 in the direction from the first connection portion 441 to the setting surface 301, effectively avoiding the problem of the flexible screen group 30 being detached from the first shell 10 or the second shell 20 in the direction from the first connection portion 441 to the setting surface 301.

Of course, the material of the fourth sliding member 44 and the material of the fifth sliding member 45 can also be plastic, resin, etc. This is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0054] In addition, in some embodiments, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the sliding assembly 40 may include a sixth sliding member 46, a seventh sliding member 47 and an eighth sliding member 48; the sixth sliding member 46, the seventh sliding member 47 and the eighth sliding member 48 are connected in sequence, the seventh sliding member 47 is connected to the setting surface 301, and there is a gap between the sixth sliding member 46 and the eighth sliding member 48 and the setting surface 301; a fourth sliding groove 106 is provided in the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, and the fourth sliding groove 106 extends from the first side to the second side, and a second sliding hole 107 is provided at the bottom of the fourth sliding groove 106, and the second sliding hole 107 is along The seventh sliding member 47 extends from the first side to the second side, and the seventh sliding member 47 is located in the second sliding hole 107. The sixth sliding member 46 and the eighth sliding member 48 are located in the fourth sliding groove 106. The sixth sliding member 46 and the eighth sliding member 48 are both slidable relative to the fourth sliding groove 106, and the seventh sliding member 47 is slidable relative to the second sliding hole 107. In the direction from the seventh sliding member 47 to the setting surface 301, the sixth sliding member 46 and the eighth sliding member 48 are at least partially overlapped with the bottom of the fourth sliding groove 106. The fourth sliding groove 106 and the second sliding hole 107 form a sliding portion 100.

[0055] Since the sixth sliding member 46, the seventh sliding member 47 and the eighth sliding member 48 are connected in sequence, and the seventh sliding member 47 is connected to the setting surface 301, it is equivalent to that there is a gap between the sixth sliding member 46 and the eighth sliding member 48 and the setting surface 301, that is, in the direction from the setting surface 301 to the seventh sliding member 47, the sixth sliding member 46 and the eighth sliding member 48 protrude from the seventh sliding member 47, so that the fourth sliding groove 106 is provided in the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, and the second sliding hole 107 is provided at the bottom of the fourth sliding groove 106, the seventh sliding member 48 can be moved.

In addition, in the direction from the seventh sliding member 47 to the setting surface 301, the sixth sliding member 46 and the eighth sliding member 48 at least partially overlap with the bottom of the fourth sliding groove 106, so that the sixth sliding member 46 and the eighth sliding member 48 can limit the flexible screen group 30 in the direction from the seventh sliding member 47 to the setting surface 301, effectively avoiding the problem of the flexible screen group 30 being detached from the first shell 10 or the second shell 20 in the direction from the seventh sliding member 47 to the setting surface 301.

[0056] In addition, in some embodiments, the overlap amount of the sixth sliding member 46 and the bottom of the fourth slide groove 106 is greater than or equal to 0.5 mm, and the overlap amount of the eighth sliding member 48 and the bottom of the fourth slide groove 106 is greater than or equal to 0.5 mm. Through such a setting, it can be effectively ensured that the sixth sliding member 46 and the eighth sliding member 48 limit the flexible screen group 30 in the direction from the seventh sliding member 47 to the setting surface 301.

[0057] In addition, in some embodiments, Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10As shown, the edge of the first shell 10 away from the second shell 20 and the edge of the second shell 20 away from the first shell 10 are both provided with decorative parts 200, and the outer surface of the decorative part 200 is provided with a step structure 210, the step structure 210 has a first surface 201 and a second surface 202 parallel to each other, the first surface 201 is away from the first shell 10, the second surface 202 is close to the first shell 10, and the first surface 201 and the second surface 202 are not blocked; the flexible screen group 30 includes a protective layer 31 and a display layer 32 that are stacked and interconnected, the edge of the protective layer 31 is connected to the first surface 201, the edge of the display layer 32 is in contact with the second surface 202, and the display layer 32 is movable relative to the second surface 202; when the electronic device switches between a folded state and an unfolded state, the distance between the edge of the display layer 32 and the step structure 210 changes; wherein the display layer 32 has a setting surface 301.

[0058] Since the edge of the first shell 10 away from the second shell 20 and the edge of the second shell 20 away from the first shell 10 are both provided with decorative pieces 200, the decorative pieces 200 can decorate the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, so that the aesthetics of the electronic device is improved. Since the outer surface of the decorative piece 200 is provided with a step structure 210, the step structure 210 has a parallel first surface 201 and a second surface 202, the edge of the protective layer 31 is connected to the first surface 201, the edge of the display layer 32 is in contact with the second surface 202, and the display layer 32 is movable relative to the second surface 202, therefore, when a force is applied to the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20 to switch the electronic device between the folded state and the unfolded state, the distance between the edge of the display layer 32 and the step structure 210 will change, and when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the edge of the display layer 32 is close to the step structure 210, and the first surface 201 and the second surface 202 are not blocked, so that the display layer 32 is not blocked at all, thereby improving the screen ratio of the display screen. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, a step structure 210 is provided on the surface of the decorative member 200 facing away from the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, and the edge of the protective layer 31 is connected to the first surface 201, and the edge of the display layer 32 is in contact with the second surface 202, so that when the electronic device switches between the folded state and the unfolded state, the distance between the display layer 32 and the step structure 210 changes, and when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, even if the display layer 32 is close to the step structure 210, the display layer 32 is not blocked by any components. In addition, the width of the decorative member 200 does not need to be increased, so that the display area of ​​the electronic device can be increased and the screen-to-body ratio of the electronic device can be improved.

[0059] It should be noted that the display layer 32 may include a plurality of stacked screen layers, and adjacent screen layers are bonded by optical adhesive.

[0060] In addition, in the related art, the electronic device includes a first shell 10, a second shell 20 and a flexible screen group 30, and along the circumferential direction of the electronic device, the decorative member 200 is simultaneously arranged at the edge of the first shell 10 and the edge of the second shell 20, and there is a gap between the decorative member 200 and the first shell 10, and there is a gap between the decorative member 200 and the second shell 20, and the protective layer 31 of the flexible screen group 30 is bonded to the surface of the decorative member 200 facing the first shell 10 and the surface of the decorative member 200 facing the second shell 20, and the display layer 32 of the flexible screen group 30 is connected to the protective layer 31, and the display layer 32 is movable relative to the protective layer 31. When the electronic device is in a folded state, part of the edge of the display layer 32 is blocked by the decorative member 200, and when the electronic device is in an unfolded state, part of the edge of the display layer 32 is further blocked by the decorative member 200. In addition, in the related art, in order to make the protective layer 31 and the decorative member 200 firmly bonded, the width of the decorative member 200 needs to be increased. That is, in the related art, when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the edge of the display layer 32 is blocked, resulting in the content displayed at the edge of the display layer 32 being blocked, and the width of the decorative member 200 is large, resulting in a reduced screen-to-body ratio of the electronic device. In the embodiment of the present application, by setting a step structure 210 on the surface of the decorative member 200 away from the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, the edge of the protective layer 31 is connected to the first surface 201 of the step structure 210, and the edge of the display layer 32 is connected to the second surface 202 of the step structure 210, so that when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the edge of the display layer 32 is close to the step structure 210, that is, the edge of the display layer 32 is close to the decorative member 200, but the edge of the display layer 32 is not blocked, and the content displayed at the edge of the display layer 32 can also be used to see, so that under the premise of the same size of the flexible screen group 30, the flexible screen group 30 of the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application displays more content, and the width of the decorative member 200 does not need to be increased, so that the screen-to-body ratio of the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application is improved. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, the screen-to-body ratio of the electronic device is increased by changing the structure of the decorative element 200 .

[0061] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device is in the folded state, the distance between the edge of the display layer 32 and the step structure 210 is the first distance, and when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the distance between the edge of the display layer 32 and the step structure 210 is the second distance, and the first distance is greater than the second distance. That is, when the electronic device is in the folded state, the edge of the display layer 32 is away from the step structure 210, that is, the edge of the display layer 32 is away from the decorative element 200, and when the electronic device is in the unfolded state, the edge of the display layer 32 is close to the step structure 210, that is, the edge of the display layer 32 is close to the decorative element 200.

[0062] It should also be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, electronic devices include but are not limited to controllers, smart devices, terminal products and other devices, where smart devices are, for example, smart phones, smart TVs, smart speakers, smart robots, VR devices, AR devices, XR devices and other devices, and terminal products include personal computers, tablet computers and other products.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, since the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are hinged, the electronic device can be switched between the folded state and the unfolded state by applying force to the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20. Since the flexible screen group 30 is covered on the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, when force is applied to the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, the flexible screen group 30 will be driven by the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20 to bend in the process of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 approaching or moving away from each other. Since the flexible screen group 30 has a setting surface 301, a sliding component 40 is arranged on the setting surface 301, a sliding part 100 matching the sliding component 40 is arranged in the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, and the sliding component 40 is slidably connected to the sliding part 100. Therefore, in the process of the flexible screen group 30 being driven to bend by the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, the sliding component 40 on the flexible screen group 30 will slide relative to the sliding part 100 in the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, thereby avoiding the problem that the flexible screen group 30 is fixed to the shell of the electronic device with a backing glue, resulting in increased force on the optical glue between the screen stacks in the flexible screen group 30 during the bending process of the flexible screen group 30, which is easy to cause the risk of delamination and debonding of the screen stacks. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, a sliding component 40 is arranged on the setting surface 301 of the flexible screen group 30, and a sliding portion 100 matching the sliding component 40 is arranged in the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, and the sliding component 40 is slidable relative to the sliding portion 100. Therefore, in the process of the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20 driving the flexible screen group 30 to bend, the flexible screen group 30 drives the sliding component 40 to slide relative to the sliding portion 100, so that the screen stacks in the flexible screen group 30 are bent at the same time, thereby avoiding the problem that the optical glue between the screen stacks in the flexible screen group 30 is subjected to large force, resulting in easy delamination and debonding of the screen stacks, thereby effectively extending the service life of the flexible screen group 30.
