Abstract
Description
Display and electronic device
[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office on November 4, 2022, with application number 202211378376.7 and invention name “A display and electronic device”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field
[0002] The present application relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display and an electronic device. Background Art
[0003] Electronic devices such as laptops and desktop computers include displays, which are used to realize the display function of the electronic device. With the development of technology, users have increasingly higher requirements for the screen-to-body ratio of displays, and the width of the black borders on the edges of the display interface is also becoming smaller and smaller. The width of the black borders on the edges of the display interface is often affected by the housing components of the display.
[0004] On the other hand, the shell assembly of the display needs to ensure a certain degree of bending and torsional strength to prevent the edge parts (especially the edge corners) from being subjected to external forces during the opening process or when the display is in the open state and falls, thereby forcing the screen to deform, resulting in a black screen, light leakage or even broken screen. Based on this, the shell assembly usually includes a shell and a support member, the support member is arranged on the four sides of the shell, and the screen is supported and fixed on the support members on the four sides with the help of a cover plate. The support member reinforces the four edge parts of the shell, so that the shell can maintain a rectangular shape and improve the bending and torsional strength of the shell assembly. However, the provision of the support member limits the further reduction of the width of the black edge of the screen, resulting in the screen-to-body ratio of the display being difficult to further improve.
[0005] Summary of the Invention
[0006] The embodiments of the present application provide a display and an electronic device for solving the problem of how to reduce the width of the black border of the display and increase the screen-to-body ratio of the display while ensuring the bending and torsional resistance of the display shell assembly.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of the present application adopt the following technical solutions:
[0008] In a first aspect, a display is provided, comprising a housing assembly and a screen. The housing assembly comprises a housing and a first reinforcement member. The housing comprises a base plate, the base plate comprising first and second opposing edges, and a third edge connected between the first and second edges. The base plate further comprises an inner surface. A first reinforcement member is disposed on the inner surface of the base plate, the first reinforcement member comprising a first extension portion, the first extension portion being located on and extending along the third edge. The screen is located on the side facing the inner surface. The first reinforcement member is located between the screen and the base plate. The screen comprises a display panel, and the projection of at least a portion of the first extension portion on the base plate is located within the projection of the display panel on the base plate.
[0009] Because the first extension is located at and extends along the third edge, the first extension increases the structural strength of the housing assembly at the third edge, ensuring the housing assembly's bending and torsional resistance to a certain extent, effectively protecting the screen and preventing black screens, light leakage, and even screen breakage. Furthermore, because at least a portion of the projection of the first extension onto the base plate lies within the projection of the display panel onto the base plate, the display panel covers at least a portion of the surface of the first extension facing away from the base plate, which helps increase the screen-to-body ratio at the third edge. This reduces the width of the display's black borders and increases the display's screen-to-body ratio while ensuring the housing assembly's bending and torsional resistance.
[0010] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, the entire projection of the first extension on the base plate is within the projection of the display panel on the base plate. In this way, the display panel covers the entire area of the surface of the first extension away from the base plate, which helps further increase the screen-to-body ratio at the third edge.
[0011] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the first reinforcement further includes a second extension. The second extension is connected to one end of the first extension facing the first edge and extends along the first edge. In this way, the first reinforcement not only increases the structural strength of the housing assembly at the third edge, but also increases the structural strength of the housing assembly at the corner between the third edge and the first edge, thereby preventing the housing assembly and screen at the corner from warping when the electronic device is opened and falls, and preventing the screen at the corner from blacking out, leaking light, or even breaking.
[0012] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, the first reinforcement further includes a fifth extension connected to the end of the first extension facing the second edge and extending along the second edge. In this manner, the first reinforcement not only increases the structural strength of the housing assembly at the third edge and at the corner between the third edge and the first edge, but also increases the structural strength of the housing assembly at the corner between the third edge and the second edge. This prevents the housing assembly and screen from warping at the corner between the third edge and the second edge, and prevents the screen from blacking out, leaking light, or even breaking at this corner.
[0013] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, a first adhesive layer is provided on a surface of the first reinforcement member facing away from the bottom plate, and the screen is bonded to the first adhesive layer. This first adhesive layer improves the connection stability between the screen and the housing assembly, preventing the screen from falling out of the housing assembly.
[0014] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, a first adhesive layer is provided on the inner surface of the bottom plate. The first adhesive layer is located on a side of the first extension portion away from the third edge, or alternatively, between the first extension portion and the third edge. The screen is bonded to the first adhesive layer. This prevents any overlap between the first adhesive layer and the first reinforcement member in the thickness direction of the display, thereby reducing the thickness of the display or increasing the thickness of the first reinforcement member to improve the bending and torsional resistance of the housing assembly.
[0015] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, the material stiffness of the first reinforcement is greater than the material stiffness of the shell. This effectively ensures the bending and torsional strength of the shell assembly at the third edge. "Material stiffness" includes bending stiffness and torsional stiffness. "The material stiffness of the first reinforcement is greater than the material stiffness of the shell" means that the bending stiffness of the first reinforcement is greater than the bending stiffness of the shell, and the torsional stiffness of the first reinforcement is greater than the torsional stiffness of the shell.
[0016] In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, a material of the first reinforcement includes one or more of aluminum, magnesium, iron, copper, and titanium; or includes one or more of plastic and carbon fiber.
[0017] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, the base plate further includes a fourth edge, the fourth edge opposing the third edge and connected between the first edge and the second edge. The housing assembly further includes a second reinforcement member disposed on the inner surface of the base plate and including a third extension portion located at and extending along the fourth edge. The third extension portion is located between the screen and the base plate, with at least a portion of the projection of the third extension portion on the base plate located within the projection of the display panel on the base plate. In this manner, the third extension portion can increase the structural strength of the housing assembly at the fourth edge, ensuring the bending and torsion resistance of the housing assembly to a certain extent, effectively protecting the screen and preventing screen blackouts, light leakage, or even screen breakage. Furthermore, since at least a portion of the projection of the third extension portion on the base plate is located within the projection of the display panel on the base plate, the display panel covers at least a portion of the surface of the third extension portion facing away from the base plate, thereby increasing the screen-to-body ratio at the fourth edge.
[0018] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, the entire projection of the third extension on the base plate is located within the projection of the display panel on the base plate. In this way, the display panel covers the entire area of the surface of the third extension away from the base plate, which helps further increase the screen-to-body ratio at the fourth edge.
[0019] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, the third extension portion includes a third extension portion body and a magnet. The third extension portion body and the magnet are arranged along the length of the fourth edge, with the magnet located between the third extension portion body and the second edge. In this manner, the magnet forms part of the second reinforcement member, providing reinforcement while also cooperating with a Hall effect sensor within the host device to detect lid opening and closing of the electronic device.
[0020] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, a fourth adhesive layer is further provided on the inner surface of the base plate. The fourth adhesive layer is located on the side of the magnet away from the fourth edge, or alternatively, between the magnet and the fourth edge. The screen is bonded to the fourth adhesive layer. This fourth adhesive layer compensates for the bonding strength between the second adhesive layer and the magnet, improving the bond strength between the housing assembly and the screen at the location of the magnet.
[0021] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, the housing further includes a third side panel connected to the third edge and positioned around the screen. Along the thickness of the display, the projection of the third side panel on the base plate does not overlap with the projection of the screen on the base plate. This eliminates the need for the third side panel to support the screen, allowing for a thinner wall thickness. This reduces housing material costs and increases the display's screen-to-body ratio.
[0022] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the housing assembly further includes a first support member and a second support member. The first support member and the second support member are disposed on the inner surface of the base plate. The first support member is located at the first edge and extends along the first edge, and the second support member is located at the second edge and extends along the second edge. The screen further includes a light-transmitting cover plate, which is located on a side of the display panel away from the base plate, and the light-transmitting cover plate is stacked and fixedly connected to the display panel, and the light-transmitting cover plate is fixed to at least a portion of the first support member and at least a portion of the second support member. In this way, the first and second support members can be used to increase the structural strength of the housing assembly at the first and second edge positions. This can improve the bending and torsion resistance of the housing assembly, effectively protecting the screen and preventing black screen, light leakage, or even screen breakage. At the same time, using the first and second support members to support and fix the light-transmitting cover plate of the screen can improve the connection strength between the screen and the housing assembly.
[0023] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, the light-transmitting cover of the screen is fixed to the surface of the first support member away from the base plate via the third adhesive layer. This fixing method is convenient, and the first support member does not need to be grooved, resulting in a simple structure, easy processing, and low cost.
[0024] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, a buckle is provided on the light-transmitting cover plate of the screen, and a slot recessed toward the first side plate is provided on the surface of the first support member facing away from the first side plate. The light-transmitting cover plate is secured to the slot by the buckle. This fixing method provides good firmness and high stability.
[0025] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the first reinforcement member is located between the first support member and the second support member. Along the length direction of the third edge, the first reinforcement member contacts or is spaced apart from the first support member, and the first reinforcement member contacts or is spaced apart from the second support member.
[0026] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, along the length direction of the third edge, the first reinforcement member is spaced apart from the first support member, and the first reinforcement member is spaced apart from the second support member. The spacing between the first reinforcement member and the first support member in the length direction of the third edge, and the spacing between the first reinforcement member and the second support member in the length direction of the third edge are both less than or equal to 15% of the width of the shell in the length direction of the third edge. In this way, a certain assembly gap is retained between the first reinforcement member and the first support member, and between the first reinforcement member and the second support member, which can reduce the difficulty of assembling the first reinforcement member between the first support member and the second support member, while not affecting the bending and torsional resistance of the shell assembly at the third edge.
[0027] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the material stiffness of the first reinforcement is greater than the material stiffness of the first support member and the second support member. In this way, it can be ensured that the first support member, the second support member and the first reinforcement member have consistent reinforcing effects on the three edge portions of the shell assembly at the bottom plate. This layout is reasonable and can save costs. Among them, "material stiffness" includes bending stiffness and torsional stiffness. "The material stiffness of the first reinforcement member is greater than the material stiffness of the first support member and the second support member" means that the bending stiffness of the first reinforcement member is greater than the bending stiffness of the first support member and the second support member, and the torsional stiffness of the first reinforcement member is greater than the torsional stiffness of the first support member and the second support member.
[0028] In one possible implementation of the first aspect, an elastic notch is defined in at least one end of the first support member along the lengthwise direction of the first edge. The elastic notch is configured to increase the elasticity of the end. When the housing assembly warps relative to the middle portion of at least one end along the lengthwise direction of the first edge, elastic compression or tension is generated along the thickness direction of the display, thereby maintaining a flat screen configuration. This prevents warping of the screen at at least one end along the lengthwise direction of the first edge, which could result in a black screen or light leakage.
[0029] In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the first support member includes a middle section and a first end section arranged along the length direction of the first edge, and the first end section forms one end portion of the first support member along the length direction of the first edge. The material stiffness of the first end section is less than the material stiffness of the middle section. Here, "material stiffness" refers to the tension and compression stiffness in a direction perpendicular to the base plate. "The material stiffness of the first end section is less than the material stiffness of the middle section" means that the tension and compression stiffness of the first end section in a direction perpendicular to the base plate is less than the tension and compression stiffness of the middle section in a direction perpendicular to the base plate. For example, the middle section is made of a material with high rigidity, such as aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, iron, copper, titanium, polycarbonate (PC), PC+glass fiber, ABS plastic (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic), or carbon fiber composite material, and the first end section is made of a material with high elasticity, such as rubber or silicone. On this basis, the first support member may further include a second end section, which forms the other end portion of the first support member along the length direction of the first edge. The material stiffness of the second end section may also be smaller than the material stiffness of the middle section. The "material stiffness" should be understood in the same way as the "material stiffness" of the above-mentioned first end section and the "material stiffness" of the middle section, and will not be elaborated here. In this way, the elasticity of at least one end portion of the first support member along the length direction of the first edge in the direction perpendicular to the bottom plate is relatively large. When at least one end of the shell assembly along the length direction of the first edge is warped relative to the middle portion, elastic compression or stretching can be generated along the thickness direction of the display to keep the screen flat, thereby avoiding warping of at least one end of the screen in the length direction of the first edge and the occurrence of a black screen or light leakage.
[0030] In a second aspect, an electronic device is provided, which includes a host and a display as described in any of the above technical solutions, wherein the display is provided with a rotating shaft, and the display is rotatably connected to the host via the rotating shaft.
[0031] Since the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a display as described in any of the above technical solutions, the two can solve the same technical problems and achieve the same effects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0049] In the embodiments of the present application, the terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," "fifth," and "sixth" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature specified as "first," "second," "third," "fourth," "fifth," and "sixth" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.
[0050] In the embodiments of the present application, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not preclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus comprising the element.
[0051] In the embodiments of this application, "and / or" is simply a description of the association relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the related objects are in an "or" relationship.
[0052] The present application provides an electronic device, including a display, wherein the display is a separate component connected to other components within the electronic device. "Connection" includes, but is not limited to, electrical connection, rotational connection, and sliding connection. Specifically, the electronic device includes, but is not limited to, notebook computers, desktop computers, tablet computers, laptop computers, and personal digital assistants (PDAs).
[0053] Please refer to FIG1 , which is a perspective view of an electronic device 100 provided in some embodiments of the present application. This embodiment and the following embodiments are illustratively described using a laptop computer as the electronic device 100. The electronic device 100 includes a display 10 , a host 20 , and a keyboard 30 .
[0054] It should be understood that FIG1 merely schematically illustrates some components of the electronic device 100, and the actual shape, size, position, and configuration of these components are not limited by FIG1. In other embodiments, when the electronic device is a tablet computer, a laptop computer, or a personal digital assistant, the electronic device 100 may not include at least one of the host 20 and the keyboard 30.
[0055] The display 10 is used to display images, videos, etc. The keyboard 30 is used to input instructions or data, and the keyboard 30 is set on the host 20. The host 20 serves as the control center of the electronic device 100, and is used to realize functions such as data storage, calculation, control, and signal conversion. The host 20 and the display 10 are rotatably connected. The electronic device 100 can switch between an open state and a closed state. When the electronic device 100 is in the open state, please refer to Figure 1. The electronic device 100 shown in Figure 1 is in the open state, and the display 10 is opened to a certain angle relative to the host 20. The angle can be greater than 0° and less than 180°. When the electronic device 100 is in the closed state, the display 10 covers the surface of the host 20 where the keyboard 30 is set.
[0056] The display 10 will be mainly introduced below.
[0057] Continuing with Figure 1 , the display 10 is generally in the shape of a rectangular flat plate. To facilitate the description of the various embodiments below, an XYZ coordinate system is established for the display 10 described in this embodiment and the following embodiments, defining the length of the display 10 as the X-axis, the width of the display 10 as the Y-axis, and the thickness of the display 10 as the Z-axis. It will be appreciated that the coordinate system configuration of the display 10 can be flexibly adjusted based on practical needs and is not specifically limited herein. In other embodiments, the display 10 may also be in the shape of a square flat plate, a circular flat plate, an elliptical flat plate, or the like.
[0058] On the basis of the above, with the development of technology, users have higher and higher requirements for the screen-to-body ratio of the display 10, and the requirements for the width of the black borders at the edges of the display interface on the display 10 are also getting smaller and smaller. The width of the black borders at the edges of the display interface is usually affected by the shell components inside the display 10.
[0059] On the other hand, referring to FIG1 , at the two ends of the display 10 along the Y-axis (i.e., ends a1 and a2 in FIG1 ), end a1 is cantilevered, and end a2 is rotatably connected to the host 20. The housing assembly within the display 10 needs to meet certain bending and torsional strengths. Otherwise, when the electronic device 100 is opened or dropped while in the open state, end a1 is subjected to external forces, which can easily cause the housing assembly of the display 10 to distort, thereby forcing the screen to deform, resulting in a black screen, light leakage, or even screen breakage. In particular, when the corners of end a1 along the X-axis (i.e., portions c1 and c2 in FIG1 ) are subjected to external forces, the pressure acting on the housing assembly at these corners is greater, making the housing assembly at these corners more likely to distort, and the screen at these corners is more likely to distort, causing the screen to distort, light leakage, or even screen breakage.
[0060] The above technical issues are described in detail below with reference to two external force scenarios of the electronic device 100 .
[0061] Please refer to Figure 2, which is a force diagram illustrating the electronic device 100 shown in Figure 1 during the opening process. The user holds the main unit 20 with their left hand and the end a1 of the display 10 with their right hand, applying a force F1 away from the main unit 20 to rotate the display 10 relative to the main unit 20 to the open position. If the inner housing assembly of the display 10 is not sufficiently resistant to bending and torsional forces, the resistance of the rotating shaft between the display 10 and the main unit 20 may cause the end a1 of the display 10 to bend relative to the end a2 in the direction d1, facing away from the main unit 20. This may result in the screen going black, leaking light, or even breaking.
[0062] Accordingly, when the electronic device 100 is being closed, the user holds the main body 20 with their left hand and the end a1 of the display 10 with their right hand, applying force to the main body 20 to rotate the display 10 relative to the main body 20 to the closed position. If the bending and torsional strength of the housing assembly within the display 10 is insufficient, the resistance of the shaft between the display 10 and the main body 20 may cause the end a1 of the display 10 to bend toward the main body 20 relative to the end a2, resulting in a black screen, light leakage, or even screen cracking.
[0063] Please refer to Figure 3, which illustrates the forces acting on the electronic device 100 shown in Figure 1 when it is dropped to the ground in its open state. The corner c2 of the display 10 at end a1 is subjected to an impact force F2 upon landing. If the housing assembly within the display 10 lacks sufficient bending and torsional strength at this corner c2, the housing assembly and screen at this corner c2 are susceptible to warping along direction d2 under the impact of this force F2, potentially causing the screen to go black, leak light, or even break.
[0064] On the basis of the above, in order to ensure the bending and torsional resistance of the display 10, the shell assembly of the display 10 may include a shell and a support member. The support member is arranged at the four edge parts of the shell, and the screen of the display 10 is supported and fixed on the support members at the four sides by means of a transparent cover plate. The support member reinforces the four edge parts of the shell, so that the shell can maintain a rectangular shape and improve the bending and torsional strength of the shell assembly. However, due to the limitation of the support member, the width of the black border of the screen is difficult to further reduce, resulting in the screen-to-body ratio of the display 10 being difficult to further improve. It can be seen from this that it is difficult for the current display 10 to simultaneously meet the requirements of a large screen-to-body ratio and strong bending and torsional resistance.
[0065] To increase the screen-to-body ratio of display 10 while ensuring its bending and torsion resistance, please refer to Figures 4 and 5. Figure 4 is a perspective view of a display 10 provided in some embodiments of the present application, and Figure 5 is an exploded view of the display 10 shown in Figure 4. This display 10 can be used in the aforementioned electronic device 100. Display 10 includes a screen 1 and a housing assembly 2.
[0066] It should be understood that Figures 4 and 5 only schematically illustrate some components of the display 10, and the actual shape, size, position, and configuration of these components are not limited by Figures 4 and 5. In other embodiments, the display 10 may include a camera, etc. in addition to the screen 1 and the housing assembly 2, and this application does not specifically limit this.
[0067] The screen 1 is used to display images, videos, etc. Referring specifically to FIG5 , the screen 1 includes a light-transmitting cover plate 11 and a display module 12 , which are stacked. The light-transmitting cover plate 11 and the display module 12 are bonded together by an adhesive layer 13 .
[0068] The transparent cover plate 11 primarily protects the display module 12 and provides dust protection. It also serves as the supporting "frame" for the screen 1, connecting to the housing assembly 2 to secure and support the screen 1 thereon. Materials for the transparent cover plate 11 include, but are not limited to, glass and plastic. In other embodiments, the screen 1 may be provided without the transparent cover plate 11.
[0069] The display module 12 includes a display panel and a backlight module. In the display module 12, the display panel and the backlight module can be fixed together by a structure such as an adhesive layer (not shown in the figure), or they can be independent of each other. When the display panel and the backlight module are independent of each other, the display panel can be fixed to the transparent cover plate 11 by the above-mentioned adhesive layer 13, and the backlight module can be fixed in the housing assembly 2. This embodiment and the following embodiments are illustrative in that the display panel and the backlight module are fixed together by a structure such as an adhesive layer, which cannot be regarded as a special limitation to the present application.
[0070] The display panel is a core component within the display module 12 for realizing the display function.
[0071] In some embodiments, the display panel may be a liquid crystal display (LCD). The backlight module is located on the side of the display panel facing away from the transparent cover plate 11 and is stacked with the display panel. The backlight module is used to provide light to the display panel so that each sub-pixel in the LCD panel can emit light to display an image.
[0072] A subpixel is the smallest imaging unit of a display panel. Multiple adjacent subpixels emitting different light rays can form a pixel. For example, a red (R) subpixel, a green (G) subpixel, and a blue (B) subpixel can form a pixel. In this case, the proportion of R, G, and B light rays in different pixels can be adjusted to adjust the pixel's displayed color.
[0073] In the above embodiment, the backlight module may be an edge-type backlight module or a direct-type backlight module, which is not limited here.
[0074] In some other embodiments, the display panel may also be a self-luminous display panel. Self-luminous display panels include, but are not limited to, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panels, active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display panels, mini organic light-emitting diode (MLED) display panels, micro organic light-emitting diode (MLED) display panels, micro organic light-emitting diode (MLED) display panels, and quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) display panels. Self-luminous display panels can emit light independently without the need for a backlight source. Therefore, a backlight module may not be provided in the display module 12, which facilitates the thinning of the display module 12 and the screen 1.
[0075] It can be known that, in addition to the transparent cover plate 11 and the display module 12, the screen 1 may also include a fingerprint recognition module, a touch panel, etc., and this application does not make any specific restrictions on this.
[0076] The housing assembly 2 is used to support and protect the screen 1. Referring specifically to Figure 5 , the housing assembly 2 includes a housing 21, a first support member 22, a second support member 23, a first reinforcement member 24, a second reinforcement member 25, a first adhesive layer 26, a second adhesive layer 27, a third adhesive layer 28, a fourth adhesive layer 29, and a fifth adhesive layer 00. Referring to Figures 6 and 7 , Figure 6 is a front view of the assembled structure of the housing assembly 2 in the display 10 shown in Figure 5 , and Figure 7 is a perspective view of the housing assembly 2 shown in Figure 6 .
[0077] It should be understood that Figures 5-7 merely schematically illustrate some components of the housing assembly 2, and the actual shapes, sizes, positions, and configurations of these components are not limited by Figures 5-7. In other embodiments, the housing assembly 2 may not include at least one of the second reinforcement 25, the first adhesive layer 26, the second adhesive layer 27, the third adhesive layer 28, the fourth adhesive layer 29, and the fifth adhesive layer 20, or the housing assembly 2 may include other structures in addition to the aforementioned structures, which are not specifically limited herein.
[0078] The shell 21 is the frame body in the shell assembly 2. The material of the shell 21 includes one or more of aluminum, magnesium, iron, copper, and titanium; or, includes one or more of plastic and carbon fiber composite materials. Among them, the plastic can be polycarbonate (PC), PC+glass fiber, ABS plastic (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic), and the carbon fiber composite material refers to a material formed by compounding carbon fiber as a reinforcing material with resin, metal, ceramic and carbon. Please refer to Figure 5. The shell 21 includes a bottom plate 211 and a side frame 212. The bottom plate 211 and the side frame 212 can be integrally formed, or they can be made separately and assembled and connected. This embodiment and the following embodiments are exemplified by the integral molding of the bottom plate 211 and the side frame 212. On this basis, the molding process of the shell 21 includes one or more processes such as stamping, computer number control (CNC), die casting, and injection molding.
[0079] Referring to Figure 5 , the bottom plate 211 is used to protect the screen 1 from its back side. The screen 1 includes a display surface, which is the surface of the screen 1's light-transmitting cover plate 11 facing away from the display module 12. Users can view images or videos displayed on the screen 1 through this display surface. In this context, the back side of the screen 1 refers to the side of the screen 1 facing away from the display surface. The bottom plate 211 is generally flat. In other embodiments, the bottom plate 211 may be entirely curved, or flat in the middle and curved at the edges. This is not specifically limited in this application.
[0080] 6 , the bottom plate 211 includes a first edge n1 and a second edge n2 opposite to each other, and a third edge n3 and a fourth edge n4 opposite to each other. The third edge n3 and the fourth edge n4 are both connected between the first edge n1 and the second edge n2.
[0081] It should be noted that the bottom plate 211 is plate-shaped. Compared to the length and width in the XY plane, the thickness of the bottom plate 211 in the Z-axis direction is very small. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the bottom plate 211 is equivalent to a planar structure with a thickness of 0 along the Z-axis direction to define the above-mentioned first edge n1, second edge n2, third edge n3 and fourth edge n4. Specifically, the first edge n1, second edge n2, third edge n3 and fourth edge n4 are respectively the four sides of the equivalent planar structure. More specifically, the first edge n1 and the second edge n2 are respectively the opposite sides of the equivalent planar structure, and the third edge n3 and the fourth edge n4 are respectively the other opposite sides of the equivalent planar structure. The first edge n1, the second edge n2, the third edge n3 and the fourth edge n4 are roughly linear and extend along the circumference of the planar structure, with a length direction and an extension direction. The relevant descriptions of the first edge n1, the second edge n2, the third edge n3 and the fourth edge n4 in the following text can be understood based on this equivalent method and will not be repeated in the following text.
[0082] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 , the lengths of the first edge n1 and the second edge n2 are greater than the lengths of the third edge n3 and the fourth edge n4. In other words, the size of the housing assembly 2 in the X-axis direction is greater than the size in the Y-axis direction. In other embodiments, the lengths of the first edge n1 and the second edge n2 may be less than or equal to the lengths of the third edge n3 and the fourth edge n4. In other words, the size of the housing assembly 2 in the X-axis direction is less than or equal to the size in the Y-axis direction.
[0083] Referring to Figure 5 , the side frame 212 is used to protect the screen 1 from its surrounding sides. The side frame 212 is arranged around the edge of the bottom plate 211. Specifically, the side frame 212 can be arranged around the edge of the bottom plate 211, or it can be arranged around part of the edge of the bottom plate 211, without specific limitation. In the embodiment shown in Figures 5-7 , the side frame 212 is arranged around the edge of the bottom plate 211. Specifically, the side frame 212 includes a first side panel 212a and a second side panel 212b, and a third side panel 212c and a fourth side panel 212d. The first side panel 212a is connected to the first edge n1 of the bottom plate 211. The second side panel 212b is connected to the second edge n2 of the bottom plate 211. The third side panel 212c is connected to the third edge n3 of the bottom plate 211. The fourth side panel 212d is connected to the fourth edge n4 of the bottom plate 211. When the side frame 212 is disposed around a portion of the edge of the bottom plate 211 , the side frame 212 may not be provided with one or more of the first side plate 212 a , the second side plate 212 b , the third side plate 212 c , and the fourth side plate 212 d .
[0084] In some embodiments, along the thickness direction of the display (i.e., the Z-axis direction), the projection of the side frame 212 on the bottom plate 211 does not overlap with the projection of the screen 1 on the bottom plate 211. Specifically, along the thickness direction of the display, the projections of the first side panel 212a, the second side panel 212b, the third side panel 212c, and the fourth side panel 212d on the bottom plate 211 do not overlap with the projection of the screen 1 on the bottom plate 211. As a result, the side frame 212 is not used to support the screen 1, and the wall thickness of the side frame 212 can be made thinner, which helps save material costs for the housing 21 and also helps increase the screen-to-body ratio of the display 10.
[0085] In some embodiments, the wall thickness of the first side panel 212a, the second side panel 212b, the third side panel 212c, and the fourth side panel 212d of the side frame 212 can be less than or equal to 2% of the width W of the housing 21 in the Y-axis direction. Specifically, the wall thickness of the first side panel 212a, the second side panel 212b, the third side panel 212c, and the fourth side panel 212d can be 2%, 1.8%, 1.6%, 1.5%, 1.4%, 1.3%, 1.2%, 1.1%, 1%, 0.9%, 0.8%, 0.7%, or 0.5% of the width W of the housing 21 in the Y-axis direction. In this way, the wall thickness of the side frame 212 is relatively thin, which helps to increase the screen-to-body ratio of the display 10.
[0086] The bottom plate 211 and the side frame 212 form a receiving space for receiving the screen 1 .
[0087] Please refer specifically to Figures 6 and 7 . The first support member 22, the second support member 23, the first reinforcement member 24, and the second reinforcement member 25 are disposed on the inner surface of the bottom plate 211. Furthermore, the first support member 22, the second support member 23, the first reinforcement member 24, and the second reinforcement member 25 are located on the inner side of the side frame 212. The "inner surface of the bottom plate 211" refers to the surface of the bottom plate 211 facing the aforementioned accommodation space. The "inner side of the side frame 212" refers to the side of the side frame 212 facing the aforementioned accommodation space.
[0088] The first support member 22, the second support member 23, the first reinforcement member 24, and the second reinforcement member 25 are used to increase the structural strength of the housing assembly 2 at the four edges of the bottom plate 211 to ensure the bending and torsional resistance of the housing assembly 2, thereby effectively protecting the screen 1 and preventing the screen 1 from blacking out, leaking light, or even breaking when the electronic device 100 is opened or dropped while opened. The first support member 22, the second support member 23, the first reinforcement member 24, and the second reinforcement member 25 can be a single integral structural member or formed by splicing multiple parts, which is not specifically limited here.
[0089] Specifically, please refer to Figures 6 and 7. The first support member 22 is located at the first edge n1 and extends along the first edge n1. The first support member 22 is located at the first edge n1, which means that the first support member 22 is close to the first edge n1. Specifically, when the first edge n1 is provided with a first side plate 212a, the distance between the first support member 22 and the first side plate 212a in the Y-axis direction is less than or equal to 1 millimeter (mm); when the first edge n1 is not provided with a first side plate 212a, the distance between the first support member 22 and the first edge n1 in the Y-axis direction is less than or equal to 1 mm. In both cases, it can be considered that the first support member 22 is located at the first edge n1. The first support member 22 is used to increase the structural strength of the shell assembly 2 at the first edge n1 position.
[0090] Among them, when the first edge n1 is provided with a first side plate 212a, the distance between the first support member 22 and the first side plate 212a in the Y-axis direction, and when the first edge n1 is not provided with the first side plate 212a, the distance between the first support member 22 and the first edge n1 in the Y-axis direction can be specifically 1mm, 0.9mm, 0.8mm, 0.6mm, 0.5mm, 0.4mm, 0.3mm, 0.2mm or 0.1mm, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.
[0091] The second support member 23 is located at the second edge n2 and extends along the second edge n2. The second support member 23 being located at the second edge n2 means that the second support member 23 is close to the second edge n2. Specifically, when the second edge n2 is provided with a second side plate 212b, the spacing between the second support member 23 and the second side plate 212b in the Y-axis direction is less than or equal to 1mm; when the second edge n2 is not provided with a second side plate 212b, the spacing between the second support member 23 and the second edge n2 in the Y-axis direction is less than or equal to 1mm. In both cases, it can be considered that the second support member 23 is located at the second edge n2. The second support member 23 is used to increase the structural strength of the shell assembly 2 at the second edge n2 position.
[0092] Among them, when the second edge n2 is provided with a second side plate 212b, the distance between the second support member 23 and the second side plate 212b in the Y-axis direction, and when the second edge n2 is not provided with a second side plate 212b, the distance between the second support member 23 and the second edge n2 in the Y-axis direction can be specifically 1mm, 0.9mm, 0.8mm, 0.6mm, 0.5mm, 0.4mm, 0.3mm, 0.2mm or 0.1mm, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.
[0093] The first reinforcement member 24 is located between the first support member 22 and the second support member 23. The first reinforcement member 24 includes a first extension portion 241. The first extension portion 241 is located at the third edge n3 and extends along the third edge n3. The first extension portion 241 being located at the third edge n3 means that the first extension portion 241 is closer to the third edge n3. Specifically, when the third edge n3 is provided with the third side plate 212c, the distance D1 between the first extension portion 241 and the third side plate 212c in the X-axis direction is less than or equal to 8% of the length L of the housing 21 in the X-axis direction. When the third side plate 212c is not provided at the third edge n3, the distance D1 between the first extension portion 241 and the third side plate 212c in the X-axis direction is less than or equal to 8% of the length L of the housing 21 in the X-axis direction. In both cases, the first extension portion 241 can be considered to be located at the third edge n3. The first extension portion 241 of the first reinforcement member 24 is used to increase the structural strength of the housing assembly 2 at the third edge n3.
[0094] Among them, when the third edge n3 is provided with a third side plate 212c, the distance D1 between the first extension portion 241 and the third side plate 212c in the X-axis direction, and when the third edge n3 is not provided with a third side plate 212c, the distance between the first extension portion 241 and the third edge n3 in the X-axis direction can specifically be 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4% or 3% of the length L of the shell 21 in the X-axis direction, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.
[0095] On the basis of the above, optionally, please continue to refer to Figures 6 and 7, the first reinforcement 24 also includes a second extension portion 242. The second extension portion 241 is connected to the end of the first extension portion 241 facing the first edge n1, and extends along the first edge n1. Among them, "the end of the first extension portion 241 facing the first edge n1" should be understood as the end of the first extension portion 241 that is closest to the first edge n1. Similar descriptions in the following text should be understood in the same way, and will not be repeated here. In this way, the first reinforcement 24 can not only increase the structural strength of the shell assembly 2 at the position of the third edge n3, but also increase the structural strength of the shell assembly 2 at the corner between the third edge n3 and the first edge n1, so as to avoid the shell assembly and the screen at the corner from warping when the electronic device 100 is in an open state and falls, and to avoid the screen at the corner from black screen, light leakage or even broken screen.
[0096] In the above embodiment, the connection portion between the second extension portion 241 and the first extension portion 241 can be located in the middle of the second extension portion 241, at the end of the second extension portion 241 facing the third edge n3, or at the end of the second extension portion 241 away from the third edge n3. Figures 6 and 7 illustrate the connection portion located at the end of the second extension portion 241 facing the third edge n3, and this is not to be considered a special limitation of the present application.
[0097] In some other embodiments, the first reinforcement member 24 may not be provided with the second extension portion 242 .
[0098] The second reinforcement member 25 is located between the first support member 22 and the second support member 23. The second reinforcement member 25 includes a third extension portion 251. The third extension portion 251 is located at and extends along the fourth edge n4. The third extension portion 251 being located at the fourth edge n4 means that the third extension portion 251 is closer to the fourth edge n4. Specifically, when the fourth edge n4 is provided with the fourth side plate 212d, the distance between the third extension portion 251 and the fourth side plate 212d in the X-axis direction is less than or equal to 8% of the length L of the housing 21 in the X-axis direction. When the fourth edge n4 is not provided with the fourth side plate 212d, the distance between the third extension portion 251 and the fourth edge n4 in the X-axis direction is less than or equal to 8% of the length L of the housing 21 in the X-axis direction. In both cases, the third extension portion 251 can be considered to be located at the fourth edge n4. The third extension portion 251 of the second reinforcement member 25 is used to increase the structural strength of the housing assembly 2 at the fourth edge n4.
[0099] Among them, when the fourth edge n4 is provided with a fourth side plate 212d, the distance between the third extension portion 251 and the fourth side plate 212d in the X-axis direction, and when the fourth edge n4 is not provided with the fourth side plate 212d, the distance between the third extension portion 251 and the fourth edge n4 in the X-axis direction can specifically be 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4% or 3% of the length L of the shell 21 in the X-axis direction, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.
[0100] Based on the above, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 6 and 7 , the second reinforcement member 25 further includes a fourth extension portion 252. The fourth extension portion 252 is connected to the end of the third extension portion 251 that faces the first edge n1 and extends along the first edge n1. In this way, the second reinforcement member 25 not only increases the structural strength of the housing assembly 2 at the fourth edge n4, but also increases the structural strength of the housing assembly 2 at the corner between the fourth edge n4 and the first edge n1, preventing the housing assembly and screen at this corner from warping when the electronic device 100 is opened and dropped, and preventing the screen from blacking out, leaking light, or even breaking.
[0101] In the above embodiment, the connection portion between the fourth extension portion 252 and the third extension portion 251 can be located in the middle of the fourth extension portion 252, at the end of the fourth extension portion 252 facing the fourth edge n4, or at the end of the fourth extension portion 252 away from the fourth edge n4. Figures 6 and 7 illustrate the connection portion located at the end of the fourth extension portion 252 facing the fourth edge n4, and this is not to be considered a special limitation of the present application.
[0102] In some other embodiments, the second reinforcement member 25 may not be provided with the fourth extending portion 242 .
[0103] It should be noted that when the display 10 is applied to other electronic devices 100, such as desktop computers and tablet computers, when the display 10 falls or is transported, the corner portion of the shell assembly 2 located between the second edge n2 and the third edge n3, and the corner portion located between the second edge n2 and the fourth edge n4 may also collide with the ground or other objects.
[0104] Based on the above, to protect the screen at the corner between the second edge n2 and the third edge n3, and at the corner between the second edge n2 and the fourth edge n4, in some embodiments, the first reinforcement member 24 may further include a fifth extension portion (not shown). The fifth extension portion is connected to the end of the first extension portion 241 facing the second edge n2 and extends along the second edge n2. The second reinforcement member 25 may further include a sixth extension portion (not shown). The sixth extension portion is connected to the end of the third extension portion 251 facing the second edge n2 and extends along the second edge n2.
[0105] In this way, the first reinforcement 24 not only increases the structural strength of the housing assembly 2 at the third edge n3 and at the corner between the third edge n3 and the first edge n1, but also increases the structural strength of the housing assembly 2 at the corner between the third edge n3 and the second edge n2. Simultaneously, the second reinforcement 25 not only increases the structural strength of the housing assembly 2 at the fourth edge n4 and at the corner between the fourth edge n4 and the first edge n1, but also increases the structural strength of the housing assembly 2 at the corner between the second edge n2 and the fourth edge n4. This prevents the housing assembly and screen from warping at the corners between the second edge n2 and the third edge n3, and between the second edge n2 and the fourth edge n4, and prevents the screen from blacking out, leaking light, or even breaking at these two corners.
[0106] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 5 to FIG. 7 , the second support member 23 includes a rotating shaft, a rotating shaft cover 3 , a decorative member 23 a and a support body 23 b .
[0107] The hinge is concealed within the hinge cover 3 and is therefore not shown in the figure. The display 10 is rotatably connected to the host 20 via the hinge. Decorative pieces 23a are located at both ends of the hinge cover 3 for decorative purposes. In other embodiments, the decorative piece 23a may also be located at one end of the hinge cover 3. The support body 23b supports the screen 1 and is located on the side of the hinge cover 3 and the decorative piece 23a away from the second edge n2. In other embodiments, the support body 23b may also be located on the side of the decorative piece 23a away from the second edge n2, while the support body 23b is not located on the side of the hinge cover 3 away from the second edge n2. This facilitates the installation of an electrical connection structure on the hinge cover 3 away from the second edge n2 for connection to the host 20. In some embodiments, the hinge cover 3, decorative piece 23a, and support body 23b may be integrally formed. In other embodiments, the hinge cover 3, decorative piece 23a, and support body 23b may be manufactured separately and assembled on the housing 21. This is not a specific limitation.
[0108] In some other embodiments, when the display is applied to other electronic devices, such as desktop computers, tablet computers, etc., the second support member 23 may not include the hinge, the hinge cover 3 and the decorative member 23a.
[0109] The materials of the first support member 22, the second support member 23, the first reinforcement member 24, and the second reinforcement member 25 include one or more of aluminum, magnesium, iron, copper, and titanium; or one or more of plastic and carbon fiber composite materials. The plastic may be polycarbonate (PC), PC + glass fiber, or ABS plastic. The carbon fiber composite material refers to a material formed by combining carbon fiber as a reinforcing material with resin, metal, ceramic, carbon, or the like.
[0110] In some embodiments, the first support member 22, the second support member 23, the first reinforcement member 24 and the second reinforcement member 25 can be arranged on the inner surface of the bottom plate 211 by gluing, welding, etc. In this way, the first support member 22, the second support member 23, the first reinforcement member 24, the second reinforcement member 25 and the shell 21 can be independently manufactured and assembled and connected. The shell 21 can be processed using aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, plastic and other materials that are easy to form and have low cost. The first support member 22, the second support member 23, the first reinforcement member 24 and the second reinforcement member 25 can be made of iron, iron alloy, titanium, titanium alloy and other materials with good rigidity, so as to take into account the difficulty of forming the shell 21 and the structural strength of the shell assembly 2 at the four sides of the bottom plate 211, so as to ensure bending and torsional strength.
[0111] In the above embodiment, optionally, the material stiffness of the first support member 22, the second support member 23, the first reinforcement member 24, and the second reinforcement member 25 is greater than the material stiffness of the shell 21. Here, "material stiffness" includes bending stiffness and torsional stiffness. "The material stiffness of the first support member 22, the second support member 23, the first reinforcement member 24, and the second reinforcement member 25 is greater than the material stiffness of the shell 21" means that the bending stiffness of the first support member 22, the second support member 23, the first reinforcement member 24, and the second reinforcement member 25 is greater than the torsional stiffness of the shell 21. In this way, the bending and torsional strength of the shell assembly 2 can be effectively guaranteed. In other embodiments, the material stiffness of the first support member 22, the second support member 23, the first reinforcement member 24, and the second reinforcement member 25 can also be less than or equal to the material stiffness of the shell 21. This is not specifically limited here.
[0112] In some other embodiments, the material of the first support member 22, the second support member 23, the first reinforcement member 24 and the second reinforcement member 25 can also be the same as the material of the shell 21, and the first support member 22, the second support member 23, the first reinforcement member 24 and the second reinforcement member 25 are integrally formed with the shell 21. Specifically, the "integrated molding" process includes one or more processes such as stamping, CNC, die casting, and injection molding. In a special case of this embodiment, the first support member 22 and the first side plate 212a, the second support member 23 and the second side plate 212b, the first extension portion 241 of the first reinforcement member 24 and the third side plate 212c, and the third extension portion 251 of the second reinforcement member 25 and the fourth side plate 212d are all connected and integrally formed. In this way, the surface of the shell assembly 2 is simple, which is convenient for integrated processing.
[0113] The first support member 22, the second support member 23, the first reinforcement member 24 and the second reinforcement member 25 can be in the shape of strips, sticks, plates or sheets. In some embodiments, referring to FIG5, the first support member 22 and the second support member 23 are in the shape of strips, and the first reinforcement member 24 and the second reinforcement member 25 are in the shape of sheets.
[0114] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 5. The thickness of the first support member 22 and the second support member 23 in the Z-axis direction is greater than the thickness of the first reinforcement member 24 and the second reinforcement member 25 in the Z-axis direction. In this way, when the first support member 22, the second support member 23, the first reinforcement member 24 and the second reinforcement member 25 are made of the same material, the structural strength of the first support member 22 and the second support member 23 is greater than the structural strength of the first reinforcement member 24 and the second reinforcement member 25. In order to ensure that the first support member 22, the second support member 23, the first reinforcement member 24 and the second reinforcement member 25 have the same reinforcing effect on the four edges of the bottom plate 211 of the shell assembly 2. In some embodiments, the material stiffness of the first reinforcement member 24 and the second reinforcement member 25 is greater than the material stiffness of the first support member 22 and the second support member 23. Here, "material stiffness" includes bending stiffness and torsional stiffness. The material stiffness of the first reinforcement 24 and the second reinforcement 25 is greater than the material stiffness of the first support 22 and the second support 23. This means that the bending stiffness of the first reinforcement 24 and the second reinforcement 25 is greater than the bending stiffness of the first support 22 and the second support 23, and the torsional stiffness of the first reinforcement 24 and the second reinforcement 25 is greater than the torsional stiffness of the first support 22 and the second support 23. This makes the layout more rational and saves costs.
[0115] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 5-7 , the inner surface of the bottom plate 211 is provided with a first recessed groove 24a corresponding to the position of the first reinforcement member 24, and a second recessed groove 25a corresponding to the position of the second reinforcement member 25. The depths of the first recessed groove 24a and the second recessed groove 25a can be 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, etc., without specific limitation herein. Referring to Figure 8 , a partial enlarged view of region Q of the housing assembly 2 shown in Figure 7 is shown, with the first reinforcement member 24 disposed within the first recessed groove 24a and the second reinforcement member 25 disposed within the second recessed groove 25a. In this way, under the premise that the height of the first reinforcement 24 and the second reinforcement 25 protruding from the inner surface of the bottom plate 211 is certain, the thickness of the first reinforcement 24 and the second reinforcement 25 can be made larger, which has a greater reinforcing effect on the shell assembly 2 at the third edge n3, the fourth edge n4, the corner position of the first edge n1 and the third edge n3, and the corner position of the first edge n1 and the fourth edge n4, and can further improve the bending and torsional strength of the shell assembly 2.
[0116] The first reinforcement member 24 can be a single integral structural member or composed of multiple parts. The second reinforcement member 25 can be a single integral structural member or composed of multiple parts. In the embodiment shown in Figure 5, the first reinforcement member 24 is a single integral structural member. The third extension portion 251 of the second reinforcement member 25 includes a third extension body a and a magnet b. The third extension body a and magnet b are arranged along the fourth edge n4, with magnet b located between the third extension body a and the second edge n2. Magnet b includes, but is not limited to, magnets and electromagnets. This reduces the number of components in the first reinforcement member 24, lowering assembly complexity and improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, magnet b forms part of the second reinforcement member 25. While providing reinforcement, it also cooperates with the Hall effect sensor within the main unit 20 to detect lid opening and closing of the electronic device 100. Optionally, the third extension body a and the fourth extension portion 252 are integrally formed. This reduces the number of components in the second reinforcement member 25, reducing assembly complexity and improving assembly efficiency.
[0117] In some other embodiments, the second reinforcement 25 can be an integral structural member, and the first extension 241 of the first reinforcement 24 includes a first extension body and a magnet. The first extension body and the magnet are arranged along the third edge, and the magnet is located between the first extension body and the second edge n2. In this way, the number of parts included in the second reinforcement 25 can be reduced, the assembly complexity can be reduced, and the assembly efficiency can be improved. At the same time, the magnet forms part of the first reinforcement 24, and while playing a reinforcing role, it can also cooperate with the Hall sensor in the host 20 to realize the opening and closing cover detection of the electronic device 100. Optionally, the first extension body and the second extension 242 are integrally formed, so that the number of parts included in the first reinforcement 24 can be reduced, the assembly complexity can be reduced, and the assembly efficiency can be improved.
[0118] Along the extending direction of the third edge n3 (ie, the Y-axis direction), the first reinforcing member 24 and the first supporting member 22 , as well as the first reinforcing member 24 and the second supporting member 23 , may be in contact with each other or may be spaced apart from each other.
[0119] In the embodiments shown in Figures 6 and 7 , along the extension direction of the third edge n3, the first reinforcement member 24 is spaced apart from the first support member 22, and the first reinforcement member 24 is spaced apart from the second support member 23. This allows for a certain assembly gap to be maintained between the first reinforcement member 24 and the first support member 22, and between the first reinforcement member 24 and the second support member 23, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the first reinforcement member 24 between the first support member 22 and the second support member 23.
[0120] In the above embodiment, optionally, along the extension direction of the third edge n3, the distance D2 between the first reinforcement member 24 and the first support member 22, and the distance D3 between the first reinforcement member 24 and the second support member 23 are less than or equal to 15% of the width W of the housing 21 in the Y-axis direction. This reduces assembly difficulty while maintaining the structural strength of the housing assembly 2 at the third edge n3.
[0121] Among them, along the extension direction of the third edge n3, the spacing between the first reinforcement 24 and the first support member 22, and the spacing between the first reinforcement 24 and the second support member 23 can specifically be 15%, 14%, 13%, 12%, 11%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5% and so on of the width W of the shell 21 in the Y-axis direction, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0122] Similarly, along the extension direction of the fourth edge n4 (ie, the Y-axis direction), the second reinforcing member 25 and the first supporting member 22 , as well as the second reinforcing member 25 and the second supporting member 23 , may be in contact with each other or may be spaced apart.
[0123] In the embodiments shown in Figures 6 and 7 , along the extension direction of the fourth edge n4, the second reinforcement member 25 is spaced apart from the first support member 22, and the second reinforcement member 25 is spaced apart from the second support member 23. This allows a certain assembly gap to be maintained between the second reinforcement member 25 and the first support member 22, and between the second reinforcement member 25 and the second support member 23, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the second reinforcement member 25 between the first support member 22 and the second support member 23.
[0124] In the above embodiment, optionally, along the extension direction of the fourth edge n4, the spacing between the second reinforcement member 25 and the first support member 22, and the spacing between the second reinforcement member 25 and the second support member 23 are less than or equal to 15% of the width W of the housing 21 in the Y-axis direction. This reduces assembly difficulty while maintaining the structural strength of the housing assembly 2 at the fourth edge n4.
[0125] Among them, along the extension direction of the fourth edge n4, the spacing between the second reinforcement 25 and the first support member 22, and the spacing between the second reinforcement 25 and the second support member 23 can specifically be 15%, 14%, 13%, 12%, 11%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5% and so on of the width W of the shell 21 in the Y-axis direction, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0126] At least a portion of the first support member 22 and at least a portion of the second support member 23 are used to support and secure the screen 1. In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 5-7 , the entire first support member 22 and the supporting body 23b of the second support member 23 are used to support and secure the screen 1. Specifically, the entire first support member 22 and the supporting body 23b of the second support member 23 can be bonded or clipped together to support and secure the screen 1. The following describes specific methods for bonding or clipping the screen 1, using the first support member 22 as an example.
[0127] Please refer to Figure 9, which illustrates a cross-sectional view of the display 10 shown in Figure 4 along line AA. In this embodiment, the transparent cover plate 11 of the screen 1 is secured to the surface of the first support member 22 facing away from the base plate 211 via a third adhesive layer 28. This convenient securing method eliminates the need for slotting in the first support member 22, resulting in a simple structure, easy fabrication, and low cost.
[0128] Please refer to Figure 10, which illustrates another cross-sectional view of the display 10 shown in Figure 4 along line AA. In this embodiment, the transparent cover plate 11 of the screen 1 is provided with a buckle 11a. The surface of the first support member 22 facing away from the first side plate 212a is provided with a slot 22a recessed toward the first side plate 212a. The transparent cover plate 11 is secured to the slot 22a via the buckle 11a. This fixing method provides excellent security and stability.
[0129] It should be noted that the first support member 22 may support and fix the screen 1 in other ways besides the two shown in Figures 9 and 10, and this application does not specifically limit this. Moreover, the support body 23b of the second support member 23 may support and fix the screen 1 in the same way as the first support member 22, or it may be different from the way the first support member 22 supports and fixes the screen 1. When the support body 23b of the second support member 23 supports and fixes the screen 1 in a different way from the way the first support member 22 supports and fixes the screen 1, optionally, the first support member 22 may support and fix the screen 1 by gluing as shown in Figure 9, and the support body 23b of the second support member 23 may support and fix the screen 1 by snapping as shown in Figure 10; or, the first support member 22 may support and fix the screen 1 by snapping as shown in Figure 10, and the support body 23b of the second support member 23 may support and fix the screen 1 by bonding as shown in Figure 9.
[0130] As can be seen from Figures 5 to 7, due to the large length of the shell assembly 2 in the X-axis direction, during processing or use, the two ends of the shell assembly 2 along the X-axis direction are prone to warping relative to the middle part toward the screen 1 side or the side facing away from the screen 1. As a result, when the screen 1 is fixed in the shell assembly 2, due to the limitation of the shell assembly 2, the two ends of the screen 1 along the X-axis direction are also prone to warping relative to the middle part toward the display side or away from the display side, thereby causing the screen 1 to be uneven and causing local stress and strain on the screen 1, which can easily lead to a black screen or light leakage. Therefore, the two ends of the screen 1 along the X-axis direction are prone to black screen or light leakage. Here, the "display side" refers to the side to which the display surface of the screen 1 faces, and the user can view the image or video displayed on the screen 1 from this display side.
[0131] To address the above-mentioned issues, please refer to Figure 11, which is a schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure of the display 10 shown in Figure 4 along the BB direction. In this embodiment, the first support member 22 is provided with an elastic notch 22b in at least one end portion along the length direction of the first edge n1 (i.e., the X-axis direction). The elastic notch 22b is used to increase the elasticity of this end portion. When at least one end of the housing assembly 2 along the X-axis direction warps relative to the middle portion, elastic compression or tension is generated along the Z-axis direction, thereby maintaining a flat shape of the screen 1, thereby preventing warping of at least one end of the screen 1 along the X-axis direction and the occurrence of a black screen or light leakage.
[0132] In some other embodiments, please refer to FIG. 12 , which is another schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the display 10 shown in FIG. 4 along the BB direction. In this embodiment, the first support member 22 includes a middle section 221 and a first end section 222 arranged along the length direction of the first edge n1 (i.e., the X-axis direction). The first end section 222 forms one end of the first support member 22 along the length direction of the first edge n1. The material stiffness of the first end section 222 is less than the material stiffness of the middle section 221. Here, "material stiffness" refers to the tension and compression stiffness in a direction perpendicular to the bottom plate 211. "The material stiffness of the first end section 222 is less than the material stiffness of the middle section 221" means that the tension and compression stiffness of the first end section 222 is less than that of the middle section 221. For example, the middle section 221 is made of a relatively rigid material such as aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, iron, copper, titanium, plastic, or carbon fiber composite material, and the first end section 222 is made of a relatively elastic material such as rubber or silicone. On this basis, the first support member 22 may further include a second end section, which forms the other end portion of the first support member 22 along the length direction of the first edge n1. The material stiffness of the second end section may also be less than the material stiffness of the middle section 221. This "material stiffness" should be understood in the same way as the "material stiffness" of the first end section 222 and the "material stiffness" of the middle section 221, and will not be elaborated on here. In this way, at least one end portion of the first support member 22 along the length direction of the first edge n1 has greater elasticity in the direction perpendicular to the base plate 211 (that is, the Z-axis direction). When at least one end of the shell assembly 2 along the X-axis direction is warped relative to the middle part, it can be elastically compressed or stretched along the Z-axis direction to keep the screen 1 flat, thereby avoiding warping of at least one end of the screen 1 in the X-axis direction and the occurrence of a black screen or light leakage.
[0133] The first reinforcement 24 and the second reinforcement 25 are mainly used to increase the structural strength of the shell assembly 2 at the third edge n3 and the fourth edge n4, thereby improving the bending and torsional resistance of the shell assembly 2.
[0134] Please refer to Figure 13, which is a schematic cross-sectional view of the display 10 shown in Figure 4 taken along the CC axis. In the first reinforcement member 24, the first extension portion 241 is located between the screen 1 and the bottom plate 211. The projection of at least a portion of the first extension portion 241 on the bottom plate 211 is located within the projection of the display module 12 within the screen 1 on the bottom plate 211. Specifically, the projection of at least a portion of the first extension portion 241 on the bottom plate 211 is located within the projection of the display panel 121 within the display module 12 on the bottom plate 211.
[0135] Here, “at least part” refers to a part or the whole. FIG13 shows an example in which the projection of the entire first extension portion 241 on the bottom plate 211 is located within the projection of the display panel 121 on the bottom plate 211 .
[0136] In this way, the display panel 121 covers at least a portion of the surface of the first extension portion 241 facing away from the bottom plate 211, which helps to increase the screen-to-body ratio of the screen 1 at the third edge n3. Furthermore, when the entire projection of the first extension portion 241 on the bottom plate 211 is within the projection of the display panel 121 on the bottom plate 211, the display panel 121 covers the entire area of the surface of the first extension portion 241 facing away from the bottom plate 211, which helps to further increase the screen-to-body ratio of the screen 1 at the third edge n3.
[0137] Based on the above, the second extension portion 242 is also located between the screen 1 and the bottom plate 211 .
[0138] Correspondingly, in the second reinforcement 25 , the third extension portion 251 is located between the screen 1 and the bottom plate 211 , and at least part of the projection of the third extension portion 251 on the bottom plate 211 is located within the projection of the display panel 121 in the screen 1 on the bottom plate 211 .
[0139] In this way, the display panel 121 covers at least a portion of the surface of the third extension portion 251 facing away from the bottom plate 211, which helps to increase the screen-to-body ratio of the screen 1 at the fourth edge n4. On this basis, optionally, the entire projection of the third extension portion 251 on the bottom plate 211 is located within the projection of the display panel 121 on the bottom plate 211, and the display panel 121 covers the entire area of the surface of the third extension portion 251 away from the bottom plate 211, which helps to further increase the screen-to-body ratio of the screen 1 at the fourth edge n4.
[0140] Based on the above, the fourth extending portion 252 is also located between the screen 1 and the bottom plate 211 .
[0141] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 7 and 8 , a first adhesive layer 26 is disposed on the surface of the first reinforcement 24 facing away from the bottom plate 211, with the screen 1 adhered to the first adhesive layer 26 (see Figure 13 ). Correspondingly, a second adhesive layer 27 is disposed on the surface of the second reinforcement 25 facing away from the bottom plate 211, with the screen 1 adhered to the second adhesive layer 27. This first and second adhesive layers 26, 27 enhance the connection stability between the screen 1 and the housing assembly 2, preventing the screen 1 from falling out of the housing assembly 2.
[0142] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 14, which is a front view of the housing assembly 2 provided in yet other embodiments of the present application. A first adhesive layer 26 is disposed on the inner surface of the bottom plate 211, and is located on the side of the first extension 241 away from the third edge n3, or alternatively, between the first extension 241 and the third edge n3, with the screen 1 adhered to the first adhesive layer 26. This eliminates any overlap between the first adhesive layer 26 and the first reinforcement 24 in the thickness direction of the display 10, facilitating a reduction in the thickness of the display 10 or increasing the thickness of the first reinforcement 24 to enhance the bending and torsional resistance of the housing assembly 2.
[0143] In the above embodiment, when the first adhesive layer 26 is located on a side of the first extension portion 241 away from the third edge n3, the distance D4 between the first adhesive layer 26 and the first extension portion 241 along the X-axis direction may be less than or equal to 10% of the length L of the housing 21 along the X-axis direction. Specifically, the distance D4 between the first adhesive layer 26 and the first extension portion 241 along the X-axis direction may be 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, or 3%, etc., of the length L of the housing 21 along the X-axis direction, and is not specifically limited here.
[0144] Accordingly, referring to FIG. 14 , the second adhesive layer 27 is disposed on the inner surface of the bottom plate 211 and is located on a side of the third extension 251 away from the fourth edge n4, or alternatively, between the third extension 251 and the fourth edge n4. The screen 1 is bonded to the second adhesive layer 27. This eliminates any overlap between the second adhesive layer 27 and the second reinforcement 25 in the thickness direction of the display 10, facilitating a reduction in the thickness of the display 10 or increasing the thickness of the second reinforcement 25 to enhance the bending and torsional resistance of the housing assembly 2.
[0145] In the above embodiment, when the second adhesive layer 27 is located on a side of the third extension portion 251 away from the fourth edge n4, the distance between the second adhesive layer 27 and the third extension portion 251 along the X-axis direction may be less than or equal to 10% of the length L of the housing 21 along the X-axis direction. Specifically, the distance between the second adhesive layer 27 and the third extension portion 251 along the X-axis direction may be 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, or 3%, etc., of the length L of the housing 21 along the X-axis direction, and is not specifically limited herein.
[0146] It should be noted that the following embodiments are described on the basis that the first adhesive layer 26 is provided on the surface of the first reinforcement 24 facing away from the bottom plate 211, and the second adhesive layer 27 is provided on the surface of the second reinforcement 25 facing away from the bottom plate 211. This cannot be regarded as a special limitation to the present application.
[0147] Based on the above description, refer to Figure 6 . The third extension 251 of the second reinforcement member 25 includes a third extension body a and a magnet b. In some embodiments, refer to Figure 15 , which illustrates a cross-sectional view of the display 10 shown in Figure 4 along the DD direction. The thickness of the magnet b along the Z-axis is less than the thickness of the third extension body a along the Z-axis. As a result, the surface of the magnet b that bonds to the second adhesive layer 27 is recessed relative to the surface of the third extension body a that bonds to the second adhesive layer 27, weakening the bond between the second adhesive layer 27 and the magnet b.
[0148] On the basis of the above, the fourth adhesive layer 29 is used to compensate for the bonding strength between the second adhesive layer 27 and the magnet b. For details, please refer to Figures 6 and 16. Figure 16 is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the display shown in Figure 4 along the EE direction. The fourth adhesive layer 29 is arranged on the inner surface of the bottom plate 211, and the fourth adhesive layer 29 is arranged on the side of the magnet b away from the fourth edge n4. Alternatively, the fourth adhesive layer 29 is arranged between the magnet b and the fourth edge n4, and the screen 1 is adhered to the fourth adhesive layer 29.
[0149] In the above embodiment, when the fourth adhesive layer 29 is disposed on the side of the magnet b away from the fourth edge n4, the distance between the fourth adhesive layer 29 and the magnet b along the X-axis direction may be less than or equal to 8% of the length L of the housing 21 along the X-axis direction. Specifically, the distance between the fourth adhesive layer 29 and the magnet b along the X-axis direction may be 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, or 2%, etc., of the length L of the housing 21 along the X-axis direction, and is not specifically limited herein.
[0150] In this way, with the help of the fourth adhesive layer 29 , the bonding strength between the housing assembly 2 and the screen 1 at the location of the magnet b can be improved.
[0151] Based on the above, referring to FIG6 , the fifth adhesive layer 00 is used to further enhance the connection strength between the screen 1 and the housing assembly 2. Specifically, the fifth adhesive layer 00 is disposed on the inner surface of the bottom plate 211 and on the side of the second support member 23 away from the second edge n2. The spacing D5 between the fifth adhesive layer 00 and the second support member 23 in the Y-axis direction can be less than or equal to 20% of the width W of the housing 21 in the Y-axis direction. Specifically, the spacing D5 between the fifth adhesive layer 00 and the second support member 23 in the Y-axis direction can be 20%, 18%, 16%, 15%, 14%, 13%, 12%, 11%, 10%, 8%, 7%, or 6% of the width W of the housing 21 in the Y-axis direction, etc., without specific limitation herein.
[0152] In this way, the fifth adhesive layer 00 can further enhance the connection strength between the screen 1 and the housing assembly 2 .
[0153] In some embodiments, to further enhance the connection strength between the screen 1 and the housing assembly 2, the housing assembly 2 may further include a sixth adhesive layer (not shown). The sixth adhesive layer is disposed on the inner surface of the bottom plate 211 and on a side of the first support member 22 away from the first edge n1. The spacing between the sixth adhesive layer and the first support member 22 in the Y-axis direction is less than or equal to 15% of the width W of the housing 21 in the Y-axis direction. Specifically, the spacing between the sixth adhesive layer and the first support member 22 in the Y-axis direction may be 15%, 14%, 13%, 12%, 11%, 10%, 8%, 7%, 6%, or 5%, etc., of the width W of the housing 21 in the Y-axis direction, and is not specifically limited here.
[0154] In this way, the connection strength between the screen 1 and the shell assembly 2 can be further improved with the help of the sixth adhesive layer.
[0155] The first adhesive layer 26 , the second adhesive layer 27 , the third adhesive layer 28 , the fourth adhesive layer 29 , the fifth adhesive layer 00 and the sixth adhesive layer may be pressure-sensitive adhesive, point adhesive, back adhesive, etc., which are not specifically limited here.
[0156] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the first support member 22 can also be replaced by a third reinforcement member, which is arranged between the screen 1 and the bottom plate 211 and includes a fifth extension portion extending along the first edge n1, with at least a portion of the projection of the fifth extension portion on the bottom plate 211 located within the projection of the display panel 121 on the bottom plate 211 within the screen 1. And / or, the second support member 23 can also be replaced by a fourth reinforcement member, which is arranged between the screen 1 and the bottom plate 211 and includes a sixth extension portion extending along the second edge n2, with at least a portion of the projection of the sixth extension portion on the bottom plate 211 located within the projection of the display panel 121 on the bottom plate 211 within the screen 1. In this way, the screen-to-body ratio of the screen 1 at the first edge n1 and / or the second edge n2 can be further improved.
[0157] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 17, which is a structural schematic diagram of the shell assembly 2 provided in some other embodiments of the present application. An internal structure 4 is also provided in the gap between the area of the bottom plate 211 surrounded by the first support member 22, the second support member 23, the first reinforcement member 24 and the second reinforcement member 25 and the screen 1. The internal structure includes but is not limited to foam, circuit boards, graphite sheets, metal foils, cables, adhesive backing, etc.
[0158] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
[0159] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
