[0041] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Instead, they are only examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the attached claims.

[0043] See also Figures 1 to 4In the embodiment of the present application, a foldable electronic device 10 is provided, and the foldable electronic device 10 includes a housing 11, a display screen 12, and a protective film 13. For example, the foldable electronic device 10 may be, but is not limited to, a foldable mobile phone, a foldable tablet computer, a laptop computer, a vehicle-mounted device, and the like. In the embodiment of the present application, for ease of understanding, a foldable mobile phone, which is a foldable electronic device 10 with a wide range of users and rich application scenarios, will be used as an example for explanation, but it is not limited to this.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the shell 11 includes a shell body 111 and a frame 112, the shell body 111 is connected to the frame 112, and a storage space 113 is defined between the shell body 111 and the frame 112. The frame 112 is retracted at one end away from the shell body 111 and defines a window 114, and the window 114 is connected to the storage space 113. The display screen 12 is located in the storage space 113, and the display screen 12 is arranged corresponding to the window 114. The protective film 13 is located in the storage space 113, and the protective film 13 is located on a side of the display screen 12 close to the window 114. The protective film 13 is attached to the display screen 12, and the protective film 13 includes a first film portion 131 and a second film portion 132 connected to the periphery of the first film portion 131. The first film portion 131 is visible through the window 114, and the second film portion 132 is blocked by the frame 112.

[0045] The foldable electronic device 10 of the embodiment of the present application, by setting the second film portion 132 of the protective film 13 to be shielded by the frame 112, can eliminate the gap and avoid the problem of uneven gap caused by the protective film 13 being attached skewly, compared with the problem of a gap between the frame 112 and the protective film 13 in the related art, which is prone to uneven gap.

[0046] It should be noted that, since the second film portion 132 of the protective film 13 is blocked by the frame 112, that is, the size of the protective film 13 is larger than the size of the window 114 defined by the frame 112, when assembling the foldable electronic device 10, the protective film 13 can be first attached to the display screen 12, and then the protective film 13 and the display screen 12 can be assembled with the housing 11. For example, the display screen 12 attached with the protective film 13 can be first assembled with the housing body 111, and then the housing body 111 and the frame 112 can be assembled; for another example, the display screen 12 can be first assembled with the housing body 111, and then the protective film 13 can be attached to the display screen 12, and finally the frame 112 can be assembled with the housing body 11.

[0047] It can be understood that the window 114 is a space formed by the frame 112. The window 114 can be located in the middle of the frame 112, or in the middle of the shell 11, so that the shell 11 as a whole presents a hollow ring shape. When the user uses the foldable electronic device 10, the information displayed on the display screen 12 can be seen through the window 114.

[0048] The display screen 12 and the protective film 13 may be bonded together by an adhesive, for example, by an optical clear adhesive (OCA), which is not limited thereto.

[0049] The display screen 12 may include a display body and a screen cover, the screen cover covers the display body, and the protective film 13 may be attached to the screen cover. The setting of the screen cover can help the display body reduce the pressure from external touch and enhance the durability of the device.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the first film portion 131 and the second film portion 132 of the protective film 13 can be distinguished only by the setting position of the protective film 13. For example, the portion of the protective film 13 exposed through the window 114 is defined as the first film portion 131, and the portion of the protective film 13 blocked by the frame 112 is defined as the second film portion 132, and there is no obvious dividing line between the first film portion 131 and the second film portion 132. Figure 4 The dotted line between the first film portion 131 and the second film portion 132 is only for the convenience of illustrating the auxiliary lines drawn. Of course, the protective film 13 can also adopt the first film portion 131 and the second film portion 132 as a separate design or be independently formed and then assembled, etc., according to the needs, and this is not limited.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the foldable electronic device 10 has a first position and a second position, and the display screen 12 includes a first display portion 121 and a second display portion 122. In the first position, the first display portion 121 and the second display portion 122 are arranged side by side, and in the second position, the first display portion 121 and the second display portion 122 are arranged in a stacked manner. The display screen 12 is divided into the first display portion 121 and the second display portion 122. During the folding process of the display screen 12, the first display portion 121 and the second display portion 122 can move relative to each other, so as to change the relative position of the first display portion 121 and the second display portion 122, so as to change the display surface that can be used to display information on the foldable electronic device 10, and can adapt to different usage requirements. Among them, in the first position, the first display unit 121 and the second display unit 122 are arranged side by side, and the display surfaces of the first display unit 121 and the second display unit 122 can be used to display information together; in the second position, the first display unit 121 and the second display unit 122 are stacked, so that the size of the foldable electronic device 10 becomes smaller, and the size of the display surface that can be used to display information on the foldable electronic device 10 becomes smaller, so that the size of the display surface that can be used to display information on the foldable electronic device 10 in the first position and the second position can be changed.

[0052] It can be understood that, in the first position, the foldable electronic device 10 is in an unfolded state, and in the second position, the foldable electronic device 10 is in a folded state.

[0053] In an exemplary solution, the first display portion 121 and the second display portion 122 can be stacked and arranged opposite to each other in the second position, that is, the foldable electronic device 10 is folded outward. At this time, in the second position, the foldable electronic device 10 can display information through one of the first display portion 121 and the second display portion 122. In another exemplary solution, the first display portion 121 and the second display portion 122 are stacked and arranged opposite to each other in the second position, that is, the foldable electronic device 10 is folded inward, which can effectively reduce the accidental touch operation on the display screen 12 compared with the electronic device folded outward. It should be noted that if the first display portion 121 and the second display portion 122 are stacked and arranged opposite to each other in the second position, the foldable electronic device 10 can also include a second display screen, which is arranged opposite to the first display screen 11 in the first position, so that when the first display portion 121 and the second display portion 122 of the first display screen 11 are arranged opposite to each other in the second position, the foldable electronic device 10 can display information through the second display screen. Among them, the size of the second display screen is smaller than the size of the first display screen 11.

[0054] The structure of the foldable electronic device 10 is exemplarily described below by taking the first display portion 121 and the second display portion 122 stacked and arranged opposite to each other in the second position as an example.

[0055] See again Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first display portion 121 has a first side 1211 away from the second display portion 122 in the first position, the second display portion 122 has a second side 1221 away from the first display portion 121 in the first position, and the width G of the second film portion 132 at the first side 1211 of the first display portion 121 blocked by the frame 112 in the first position 1 , is smaller than the width of the second film portion 132 at the first side 1211 of the first display portion 121 blocked by the frame 112 in the second position; and / or, the width of the second film portion 132 at the second side 1221 of the second display portion 122 blocked by the frame 112 in the first position is smaller than the width of the second film portion 132 at the second side 1221 of the second display portion 122 in the second position blocked by the frame 112, that is, the width of the protective film 13 blocked by the frame 112 in the folded state is larger than that in the unfolded state. It can be understood that when switching between the first position and the second position, the protective film 13 will shift, and when the protective film 12 is folded, it is set to shift toward the frame 112 where the first side 1211 and the second side 1221 are located. Compared with the unilateral shift of the protective film 12 only toward the first side 1211 or the second side 1221 when folded, it can avoid the problem that the edge of the protective film 12 is exposed through the window 114 after reciprocating folding and unfolding.

[0056] Among them, in the first position, the width of the second membrane portion 132 blocked by the frame 112 at the first side 1211 and the second side 1221 can be approximately the same; in the second position, the width of the second membrane portion 132 blocked by the frame 112 at the first side 1211 and the second side 1221 can be approximately the same, ensuring that the second membrane portion 132 can be blocked at both the first side 1211 and the second side 1221 during the folding or unfolding process of the foldable electronic device 10.

[0057] Optionally, in the first position, the width G of the second film portion 132 at the first side 1211 of the first display portion 121 blocked by the frame 112 is 1 Greater than or equal to 0.2 mm and less than or equal to 2 mm; and / or, in the first position, the width of the second membrane portion 132 blocked by the frame 112 at the second side 1221 of the second display portion 122 is greater than or equal to 0.2 mm and less than or equal to 2 mm; and / or, in the second position, the width of the second membrane portion 132 blocked by the frame 112 at the first side 1211 of the first display portion 121 is greater than or equal to 0.5 mm and less than or equal to 2.3 mm; and / or, in the second position, the width of the second membrane portion 132 blocked by the frame 112 at the second side 1221 of the second display portion 122 is greater than or equal to 0.5 mm and less than or equal to 2.3 mm.

[0058] By reasonably limiting the width of the second film portion 132 blocked by the frame 112 at the first side 1211 and the second side 1221 in the first position and the second position, it is possible to avoid the frame 112 of the entire product being wider due to the larger width of the second film portion 132 blocked by the frame 112, thereby reducing the window 114 and reducing the content displayed on the display screen 12; it is also possible to avoid the frame 112 being unable to cover the edge of the protective film 13 during the switching of the protective film 13 between the first position and the second position due to the insufficient width of the second film portion 132 blocked by the frame 112, thereby causing gaps to form at the edge of the protective film 13, and thus failing to solve the problem of uneven gaps after the protective film 13 is affixed.

[0059] For example, in the first position, the width G of the second film portion 132 at the first side 1211 blocked by the frame 112 is 1It can be 0.2mm, 0.5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, etc. In the first position, the width of the second film portion 132 at the second side 1221 blocked by the frame 112 can be 0.2mm, 0.5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, etc. In the second position, the width of the second film portion 132 at the first side 1211 blocked by the frame 112 can be 0.5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.3mm, etc. In the second position, the width of the second film portion 132 at the second side 1221 blocked by the frame 112 can be 0.5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.3mm, etc.

[0060] The display screen 11 further has a third side and a fourth side located between the first side 1211 and the second side 1221 in the first position, and the third side and the fourth side are located on opposite sides of the display screen 11. The width of the second film portion 132 at the third side of the display screen 11 blocked by the frame 112 in the first position may be substantially equal to the width of the second film portion 132 at the third side of the display screen 11 blocked by the frame 112 in the second position. The width of the second film portion 132 at the fourth side of the display screen 11 blocked by the frame 112 in the first position may be substantially equal to the width of the second film portion 132 at the fourth side of the display screen 11 blocked by the frame 112 in the second position. That is, when switching between the first position and the second position, the dimensions of the second film portion 132 at the third side and the fourth side of the display screen 11 will hardly change.

[0061] Optionally, in the first position and the second position, the width of the second film portion 132 at the third side of the display screen 11 blocked by the frame 112 may be greater than or equal to 0.2 mm and less than or equal to 2.3 mm. For example, 0.2 mm, 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.3 mm, etc. In the first position and the second position, the width of the second film portion 132 at the fourth side of the display screen 11 blocked by the frame 112 may be greater than or equal to 0.2 mm and less than or equal to 2.3 mm. For example, 0.2 mm, 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.3 mm, etc.

[0062] In the present application embodiment, refer again to Figure 4, the first membrane portion 131 includes a first sub-membrane portion 1311 disposed at the junction of the first display portion 121 and the second display portion 122 of the display screen 12, and the first sub-membrane portion 1311 is flexible, and the second membrane portion 132 includes a second sub-membrane portion 1321 disposed at the junction of the first display portion 121 and the second display portion 122 of the display screen 12, and the second sub-membrane portion 1321 is flexible. The first sub-membrane portion 1311 and the second sub-membrane portion 1321 of the protective film 13 are configured as flexible parts, so that the junction where the protective film 13 is attached to the display screen 12 is flexible, so that when the first display portion 121 and the second display portion 122 of the display screen 12 are folded, the protective film 13 can be folded along with the display screen 12, thereby enabling the foldable electronic device 10 to switch between the unfolded state and the folded state in the first position and the second position. It should be noted that the first membrane portion 131 can also be flexible as a whole, and the second membrane portion 132 can also be flexible as a whole, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the first sub-membrane portion 1311 and the second sub-membrane portion 1321 can be distinguished only by the location of the protective film 13 without obvious boundary lines. Figure 4 The dotted line of the boundary between the first sub-membrane portion 1311 and the second sub-membrane portion 1321 is only for the convenience of illustrating the auxiliary lines drawn. Of course, the protective film 13 can also adopt the first sub-membrane portion 1311 and the second sub-membrane portion 1321 as a separate design relative to other parts or be independently formed and then assembled, etc., according to needs, and there is no limitation on this.

[0064] In the present application, continue to refer to Figure 4 The frame 112 includes a first frame 1122, a second frame 1123 and two third frames 1124. The first frame 1122 extends along the edge line of the first display portion 121; the second frame 1123 extends along the edge line of the second display portion 122; the two third frames 1124 are arranged corresponding to the junction of the first display portion 121 and the second display portion 122, and the two third frames 1124 are respectively located on opposite sides of the display screen 12, and one end of each third frame 1124 is shielded by the first frame 1122, and the other end of each third frame 1124 is shielded by the second frame 1123. The first frame 1122 and the second frame 1123 are respectively extended along the edge lines of the first display portion 121 and the second display portion 122, so that the first frame 1122 and the second frame 1123 can shield the edges of the first display portion 121 and the second display portion 122, thereby allowing the display screen 12 to be located inside the accommodation space 113.

[0065] It should be noted that the third frame 1124 can be partially flexible, and the third frame 1124 is set corresponding to the junction of the first display part 121 and the second display part 122, that is, it is set corresponding to the second sub-film part 1321 of the protective film 13. When folded, the third frame 1124 can follow the state of the flexible part of the protective film 13 to change synchronously, so as to achieve the normal operation of the whole device. In addition, when the first frame 1122 and the second frame 1123 change from the folded state to the unfolded state, that is, when the position of the first frame 1122 relative to the second frame 1123 changes from being close to each other to being side by side, the position of the first frame 1122 relative to the second frame 1123 will also change. Therefore, the setting of the first frame 1122 and the second frame 1123 shielding the third frame 1124 can ensure that the frame 112 can completely cover the second film part 132 of the protective film 12 when switching between the first position and the second position, and ensure that no gaps will be generated at the edge of the protective film 13.

[0066] In the present application embodiment, refer again to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The foldable electronic device 10 further includes a dustproof member 14, which is located in the accommodation space 113, disposed between the frame 112 and the display screen 12, and connected to the frame 112. The provision of the dustproof member 14 can further prevent dust from entering the accommodation space 113, thereby reducing the influence of external factors on the normal operation of the internal components of the foldable electronic device 10.

[0067] It is understandable that, since the width of the second film portion 132 of the protective film 13 blocked by the frame 112 is different in the first position and the second position, that is, the protective film 13 will shift in the first position and the second position, a certain gap can be reserved between the protective film 13 and the frame 112 blocking its second film portion 132, so that the friction between the frame 112 and the second film portion 132 can be reduced when the protective film 13 switches between the first position and the second position, thereby reducing the wear of the protective film 13 during use, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the protective film 13. However, the existence of the gap may cause dust to enter the accommodation space 113 from the gap, thereby causing other components in the accommodation space 113 to be contaminated with dust, thereby affecting the normal operation of the internal components of the foldable electronic device 10. Therefore, the provision of the dustproof member 14 can better avoid the problem of dust entering the foldable electronic device 10.

[0068] Continue reading Figure 4The dustproof piece 14 may include a first dustproof strip 141 and a second dustproof strip 142. The first dustproof strip 141 extends along the edge line of the first display portion 121 and is disposed between the first display portion 121 and the frame 112. The second dustproof strip 142 extends along the edge line of the second display portion 122 and is disposed between the second display portion 122 and the frame 112. The first dustproof strip 141 and the second dustproof strip 142 are disposed at intervals. The first dustproof strip 141 is connected to the first frame 1122, and the second dustproof strip 142 is connected to the second frame 1123. That is, the frame 112 is provided with dustproof strips except for the flexible part of the second film portion 132 covering the protective film 13. In this way, dust can be further prevented from entering the accommodating space 113, and waste of resources caused by setting too many dustproof pieces 14 can be avoided.

[0069] It is understandable that, since the second film portion 132 of the protective film 13 and the part of the frame 112 covering it (e.g., the third frame 1124) are in a synchronous state during the folding process, the wear problem of the protective film 13 during folding mentioned above may not be considered in this part, that is, there may not be a gap between the second film portion 132 and the part of the frame 112 (e.g., the third frame 1124), and there is no dust ingress problem here. It is understandable that there is no need to set a dustproof strip between the protective film 13 and the third frame 1124, and dustproof strips are only required to be set between the protective film 13 and the first frame 1122, and between the protective film 13 and the second frame 1123.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, the shell body 111 includes a first shell 1112 and a second shell 1113, the first frame 1122 is connected to the first shell 1112, and the second shell 1113 is foldably connected to the first shell 1112 to realize the switching of the foldable electronic device 10 between the first position and the second position. The second frame 1123 is connected to the second shell 1113, and each third frame 1123 is connected to the first shell 1112 and the second shell 1113. The first frame 1122 is connected to the first shell 1112, and the second frame 1123 is connected to the second shell 1113, so that the first shell 1112 and the first frame 1122 are in a synchronized state, and the second shell 1113 and the second frame 1123 are in a synchronized state, and then the first shell 1112 and the second shell 1113 realize the relative folding and relative unfolding action, which can drive the first frame 1122 and the second frame 1123 to realize the relative unfolding and folding action. Furthermore, the third frame 1124 connects the first shell 1112 and the second shell 1113, that is, the third frame 1124 is located at the junction of the first shell 1112 and the second shell 1113. When folded, the flexible part of the third frame 1124 can change synchronously with the first shell 1112 and the second shell 1113 to achieve normal operation of the entire device.

[0071] The shell body 111 and the frame 112 can be detachably connected, so that the display screen 12, protective film 13, dustproof part 14 and other components can be installed at corresponding positions in the shell 11. On the one hand, it is beneficial to improve the assembly convenience between the components in the shell 11, and on the other hand, it is convenient to replace the display screen 12, protective film 13, dustproof part 14 and other components in the shell 11, which is beneficial to reduce the overall maintenance and replacement cost of the foldable electronic device 10.

[0072] See also Figure 3 In order to improve the connection reliability between the first shell 1112 and the first frame 1122, one of the first shell 1112 and the first frame 1122 may be provided with a first latching protrusion 1121, and the other of the first shell 1112 and the first frame 1122 may be provided with a first latching groove 1111, and the first latching protrusion 1121 is located in the first latching groove 1111. The provision of the first latching protrusion 1121 and the first latching groove 1111, on the one hand, can position the assembly of the first frame 1122 and the first shell 1112, which is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency between the first frame 1122 and the first shell 1112, and on the other hand, can limit the assembly of the first frame 1122 and the first shell 1112, improve the assembly stability of the first frame 1122 and the first shell 1112, and thus improve the stability of the housing 11.

[0073] It is understandable that the first frame 1122 may be provided with a first latching protrusion 1121, and the first shell 1112 may be provided with a first latching slot 1111; or, the first frame 1122 may be provided with a first latching slot 1111, and the first shell 1112 may be provided with a first latching protrusion 1121, and there is no limitation on this. In the embodiment of the present application, the first frame 1122 is provided with a first latching protrusion 1121, and the first shell 1112 is provided with a first latching slot 1111. Since the first frame 1122 is relatively thin, the first latching protrusion 1121 is provided on the first frame 1122, compared with the first latching slot 1111, which is conducive to improving the structural strength of the first frame 1122.

[0074] In addition, in order to improve the connection reliability between the second shell 1113 and the second frame 1123, one of the second shell 1113 and the second frame 1123 may be provided with a second latching protrusion (not shown in the figure), and the other of the second shell 1113 and the second frame 1123 may be provided with a second latching groove (not shown in the figure), and the second latching protrusion is located in the second latching groove. Since the second latching protrusion and the second latching groove have the same structure as the first latching protrusion 1121 and the first latching groove 1111, the beneficial effects brought by them are also the same, so the beneficial effects can be referred to above and will not be repeated here.

[0075] It should be noted that, in addition to the above-mentioned structure of the protrusion and the groove being connected, the first shell 1112 and the first frame 1122, and the second shell 1113 and the second frame 1123 can also be connected by snapping, plugging, bonding, etc., without limitation.
