Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an electronic device equipped with a camera module. Background Art

[0002] In an electronic device such as a notebook PC, a camera module is mounted on one edge portion of a housing equipped with a display panel (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

[0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent No. 6728450 Gazette.

[0004] In order to counteract static electricity and noise, the camera module needs to be shielded with an electromagnetic wave shielding component such as an aluminum sheet. In particular, in the camera module, shielding of a connector to which wiring (for example, a flexible substrate) from a motherboard or the like is connected is important. For example, this is to prevent static electricity from being conducted through the wiring from the connector and damaging the motherboard and components such as a CPU mounted on the motherboard.

[0005] In addition, there is a strong desire for miniaturization, thinness, and lightness of the housing in the above-described electronic device, and the installation space for the camera module in the housing is limited. Therefore, in the substrate of the camera module, in addition to the connector, components such as lenses and various signal processing components are densely mounted. As a result, for example, when covering the connector with an aluminum sheet, other components adjacent to the connector become an obstacle, and there is a concern that a gap is generated between the aluminum sheet and the connector. This gap becomes a problem in terms of static electricity and noise resistance of the connector. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems of the prior art, and an object thereof is to provide an electronic device capable of ensuring shielding performance in a camera module.

[0007] An electronic device according to one aspect of the present invention is an electronic device equipped with a camera module, the camera module having: a substrate; a connector portion mounted on the substrate; and a component mounted on the substrate and adjacent to the connector portion with a gap therebetween, a step being formed between the surface of the component and the surface of the connector portion, the electronic device including a sheet-like component for electromagnetic wave shielding, the sheet-like component for electromagnetic wave shielding being provided to cover from the surface of the connector portion across the gap to the surface of the component, and the sheet-like component having a hole portion at a position overlapping the gap vertically.

[0008] According to the above aspect of the present invention, shielding performance in the camera module can be ensured. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0019] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments will be listed and the electronic device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Figure 1 is a schematic top view of an electronic device 10 according to one embodiment as viewed from above. As Figure 1As shown, the electronic device 10 of the present embodiment is a clamshell notebook PC, which is structured such that the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are rotatably connected to each other by a hinge 14. In the present embodiment, the electronic device 10 of a notebook PC is illustrated, but the electronic device may be, for example, a tablet PC, a display device, a smart phone, or a portable game machine, etc., in addition to the notebook PC.

[0021] The second housing 12 is a flat box body and is adjacent to the first housing 11. Inside the second housing 12, various electronic components such as a motherboard 15 equipped with a CPU, a storage device, and a battery device are housed. The keyboard 16 and the touchpad 17 face the upper surface of the second housing 12.

[0022] The first housing 11 is a flat box body thinner than the second housing 12. The first housing 11 is equipped with a display panel 18. Hereinafter, regarding the first housing 11 and each component mounted on the first housing, based on the direction observed by an operator visually confirming the display surface 18a of the display panel 18, the width direction will be referred to as the X1 and X2 directions respectively, the height direction will be referred to as the Y1 and Y2 directions respectively, and the thickness direction will be referred to as the Z1 and Z2 directions respectively for explanation. Sometimes the X1 and X2 directions are collectively referred to as the X direction, and the same applies to the Y1 and Y2 directions and the Z1 and Z2 directions, sometimes referred to as the Y direction and the Z direction.

[0023] The display surface 18a of the display panel 18 faces the Z1 side surface (front surface 11a) of the first housing 11. The first housing 11 has: a housing member 20 forming the back surface 11b (Z2 side surface) and the surrounding side surfaces 11c, and a frame member 21 forming the peripheral portion of the front surface 11a. The frame member 21 is a frame-shaped thin plate surrounding the outer peripheral portion of the display panel 18. Substantially the entire surface of the front surface 11a of the first housing 11 including the frame member 21 is covered with a touch glass 22. The hinge 14 is connected to the Y2 side edge portion of the first housing 11.

[0024] The display panel 18 is constituted by, for example, a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display. The display panel 18 is, for example, a structure in which glass, a liquid crystal layer, a light guide plate, etc. are laminated and the outer peripheral portions of the respective layers are fixed to each other using double-sided tape, an adhesive, etc. The touch glass 22 covers the display surface 18a, thereby constituting a touch panel that accepts touch operations on the display panel 18.

[0025] Figure 2 It is a top view schematically showing the internal structure of the first housing 11. Figure 2 The touch glass 22 and the frame member 21 are omitted, and only the outer shape of the display panel 18 is shown by a double-dot chain line.

[0026] As Figure 2As shown, the housing member 20 has a plate portion 24 and a standing wall 25 provided so as to stand up from the outer peripheral edge portion of the plate portion 24. The plate portion 24 is a rectangular plate and forms the back surface 11b of the first housing 11. The plate portion 24 is, for example, a flat plate or a shallow dome-shaped plate that is slightly curved toward the back surface 11b. The standing wall 25 is a wall portion that stands up in the Z1 direction from the outer peripheral edge portion of the plate portion 24 and forms each side surface 11c of the first housing 11. The Z1 side surface (upper end surface 25b) of the standing wall 25 becomes the adhesion surface of the frame member 21 (see Figure 6 ). Figure 1 And Figure 2 in the reference numeral 20a in the drawings is a protruding portion that projects the substantially central portion of the Y1 side edge portion of the housing member 20 in the Y1 direction. The protruding portion 20a is a part that expands the installation space of the camera module 34 described later. The protruding portion 20a may be omitted.

[0027] The housing member 20 has a structure in which a resin frame constituting the standing wall 25 is integrally formed by injection molding at the edge portion of a laminated plate of, for example, carbon fiber reinforced resin, that is, the plate portion 24. The housing member 20 may also have a structure in which the plate portion 24 and the standing wall 25 are integrally formed using the same metal material, resin material, etc.

[0028] As Figure 2 shown, a double-sided adhesive tape 26, a bracket 28, a conductive sheet 30, a wiring portion 32, a camera module 34, and a microphone module 36 are mounted inside the housing member 20.

[0029] A pair of double-sided adhesive tapes 26 are provided, for example, on the left and right, and are strip-shaped tapes extending in the Y direction. The double-sided adhesive tape 26 is a tape for fixing the display panel 18 to the housing member 20. The double-sided adhesive tape 26 adhesively fixes the back surface on the side opposite to the display surface 18a of the display panel 18 and the inner surface 24a of the plate portion 24 (the surface on the back side of the back surface 11b).

[0030] A pair of brackets 28 are provided, for example, on the left and right along the Y2 side edge portion of the first housing 11, and are respectively adhesively fixed to the inner surface 24a. The bracket 28 is a metal member for screwing and fastening the hinge 14. The bracket 28 is electrically connected to the second housing 12 via a metal hinge 14.

[0031] The conductive sheet 30 is, for example, a thin single-sided adhesive sheet formed of a material having high conductivity such as aluminum or copper. The conductive sheet 30 in the present embodiment is an aluminum sheet (aluminum tape). The conductive sheet 30 is pasted on the inner surface 24a of the plate portion 24. The conductive sheet 30 can be used for frame grounding of the display panel 18, the camera module 34, and the microphone module 36, and is electrically connected to the second housing 12 via the bracket 28.

[0032] Figure 3 is an illustration Figure 2A diagram showing the arrangement of the conductive sheet 30. In Figure 3 the conductive sheet 30 is clearly shown with dot patterns added.

[0033] As Figure 2 well as Figure 3 shown, the conductive sheet 30 of the present embodiment has a first portion 30a to a fifth portion 30e. The first portion 30a to the third portion 30c are provided along the respective edge portions of the Y1, X1, and X2 sides of the plate portion 24, and are integrally formed in a substantially U shape that is upside down. The first portion 30a extends in the X direction along the Y1-side edge portion of the plate portion 24. The second portion 30b extends in the Y direction along the X1-side edge portion of the plate portion 24, and its Y2-side end is connected to the bracket 28. The third portion 30c extends in the Y direction along the X2-side edge portion of the plate portion 24, and its Y2-side end is connected to the bracket 28. The fourth portion 30d is provided at a position closer to the Y2 side than the center of the plate portion 24, and is formed in a substantially J shape in the horizontal direction. The fourth portion 30d is connected to the relay connector 32a of the wiring portion 32 and the left and right brackets 28 respectively. Preferably, the portions 30b to 30d are fastened together with the screws that fix the hinge 14 to the bracket 28, and are reliably electrically connected to the bracket 28.

[0034] The fifth portion 30e is a small sheet-like portion that protrudes from the position facing the camera module 34 in the long side direction (X direction) of the first portion 30a toward the Y1 side. After the fifth portion 30e is bent toward the Z1 side along the wall surface (inner wall surface) 25a of the standing wall 25, it is folded back toward the Y2 side (see Figure 6 ). Thus, the fifth portion 30e is arranged to enclose a part of the camera module 34. The specific structure of the fifth portion 30e will be described later.

[0035] As Figure 2 shown, the wiring portion 32 is composed of a wide flexible printed circuit board (FPC). The wiring portion 32 is placed on the inner surface 24a of the plate portion 24 and the Z1-side surface of the conductive sheet 30 adhered to the inner surface. The wiring portion 32 is a part of the wiring that connects the camera module 34 and the microphone module 36 to the mother board 15 on the second housing 12 side. The wiring portion 32 gathers the flexible substrates 47 of the camera module 34 and the flexible substrates 36b of the respective microphone modules 36 described later. A relay connector 32a for connecting to a prescribed relay substrate is mounted at the Y2-side end of the wiring portion 32. The wiring portion 32 is connected to the mother board 15 via this relay substrate. The wiring portion 32 may also be directly connected to the mother board 15 without passing through the relay substrate.

[0036] The microphone module 36 forms a stereo microphone by arranging a pair on the left and right. It is also possible to use only one microphone module 36. The microphone module 36 has a microphone element 36a. The microphone element 36a is, for example, a MEMS microphone that shields a MEMS chip and an IC chip having a diaphragm mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB). The vertical wall 25 is formed with a microphone hole 25c at a position facing the microphone module 36. The microphone element 36a is adhesively fixed to the wall surface 25a of the vertical wall 25, and can obtain sound information outside the first housing 11 through the microphone hole 25c. In the present embodiment, the microphone element 36a is mounted on a flexible printed circuit (FPC) 36b. The flexible printed circuit 36b is a wiring that connects the microphone element 36a and the wiring portion 32.

[0037] As Figure 2 shown, the camera module 34 of the present embodiment includes a substrate (camera substrate) 40, a connector portion 41, a lens portion 42, and component portions 43 and 44.

[0038] The substrate 40 is a printed circuit board (PCB). The substrate 40 is narrow in the Z direction and is a thin strip-shaped board that is long in the X direction. The connector portion 41, the lens portion 42, and the component portions 43 and 44 are mounted so as to be arranged in the X direction on one surface (Z1 side surface) of the substrate 40.

[0039] The connector portion 41 can include a connector 46 and a flexible printed circuit (FPC) 47. The connector 46 is mounted at the X1 side end of the substrate 40. The connector 46 is, for example, a board-to-board connector (BtoB connector). The connector 46 has connection terminals formed on the upper surface (Z1 side surface) 46a, and the flexible printed circuit 47 is connected thereto (see Figure 5 ). The upper surface 46a is a surface opposite to the mounting surface (Z2 side surface) of the connector 46 with respect to the substrate 40. The flexible printed circuit 47 is a wiring that connects the camera module 34 and the wiring portion 32.

[0040] The lens portion 42 can include an illuminance sensor 42a, a camera lens 42b, a status LED 42c, and an IR LED 42d (also see Figure 1 ). The illuminance sensor 42a is a sensor that can detect the brightness of the surrounding environment. The camera lens 42b is a camera lens that can be used for shooting moving images and the like, has a lens for focusing at the center, and an image sensor is provided on the back side of the lens. The status LED 42c is a light-emitting element that can display the operation state of the electronic device 10. The IR LED 42d is an infrared camera that can be used for face recognition and the like. The structure of the lens portion 42 is not limited thereto.

[0041] The component section 43 is disposed between the connector section 41 and the lens section 42. The component section 43 can include various components 43a mounted on the substrate 40 and a shield 43b covering the components 43a (see Figure 4A and Figure 5 ). The components 43a can include, for example, a semiconductor chip that processes signals sent from the camera lens 42b to the connector 46, a semiconductor chip for the power supply of the camera module 34, and the like. The shield 43b is a shield for electromagnetic waves of the components 43a and is, for example, a box-shaped shield made of aluminum.

[0042] The component section 44 is disposed on the X2 side of the lens section 42. The component section 44 can have the same structure as the component section 43, that is, it can be configured to surround various components with a shield.

[0043] In the camera module 34, the connector section 41 is particularly a part required for electromagnetic wave shielding against static electricity and noise. For example, if static electricity occurs in the connector section 41, the static electricity is transmitted from the flexible substrate 47 to the mother board 15 in the second housing 12 via the wiring section 32, and there is a concern of damaging the CPU or the like. In addition, if the noise generated by each component of the camera module 34 is transmitted to the connector 46, there is also a concern of deterioration of the image quality. Therefore, for the connector section 41 of the present embodiment, the Z2 side (substrate 40 side) is covered by the first part 30a of the conductive sheet 30, and the Z1 side (surface 41a side) is covered by the fifth part 30e.

[0044] Next, the specific shielding structure of the connector section 41 will be described.

[0045] Figure 4A is Figure 3 an enlarged view of the connector section 41 and its peripheral part shown. In Figure 4A and Figure 3 , only the outer shape of the fifth part 30e is shown by a double-dashed line, and the illustration of the pressing member 52 is omitted. Figure 4B is a view showing the state in which the connector section 41 shown in Figure 4A is covered by the fifth part 30e. Figure 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view along the V-V line in Figure 4B . Figure 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view along the VI-VI line in Figure 4B .

[0046] As shown in Figure 3 , the fifth part 30e of the conductive sheet 30 is formed to protrude in the Y1 direction from the Y1-side edge portion of the first part 30a in the state before covering the connector section 41. As shown in Figures 4A - 6As shown, when the fifth part 30e covers the connector part 41, it is bent toward the Z1 side along the wall surface 25a of the vertical wall 25 and then folded back toward the Y2 side. Thus, the fifth part 30e can cover the connector part 41 in a manner of enclosing it.

[0047] As Figures 3 - 6 shown, the fifth part 30e is composed of a sheet-like component having a three-layer structure of a shielding layer 50a and insulating layers 50b, 50b covering both sides of the shielding layer 50a. Hereinafter, the fifth part 30e may also be referred to as the "sheet-like component 30e". The shielding layer 50a is a part of the conductive sheet 30 integrally formed with the first part 30a and is, for example, an aluminum sheet. The insulating layer 50b is formed of a resin having insulating properties and flexibility, such as a polyimide sheet. The insulating layer 50b is provided to prevent the camera module 34 from being short-circuited due to the shielding layer 50a. Such a three-layer structure sheet-like component (fifth part) 30e is thicker by the amount of the two insulating layers 50b than the other parts 30a to 30d, and the flexibility is reduced.

[0048] As Figures 4A - 5 shown, the sheet-like component 30e is provided to cover from the surface 41a of the connector part 41 to a part of the surface 43c of the component part 43 adjacent to the connector part 41. The sheet-like component 30e is provided to cover not only the connector part 41 but also the component part 43 mainly for the following reasons. First, the gap C between the connector part 41 and the component part 43 is very narrow due to the miniaturization of the camera module 34. The gap C is, for example, about 1 mm. Therefore, it is difficult for the sheet-like component 30e to cover only the connector part 41. On the other hand, the sheet-like component 30e needs to prevent a gap that forms a path for noise or the like between it and the connector part 41. Therefore, the sheet-like component 30e is provided to cover the component part 43 together with the connector part 41 to suppress the formation of a gap around the connector part 41 as much as possible.

[0049] As Figures 4B - 6 shown, the electronic device 10 can also include a pressing member 52 that presses the sheet-like component 30e from above and presses the flexible substrate 47 against the connector 46. The pressing member 52 is a member for preventing the connection between the connector 46 and the flexible substrate 47 from coming off. The pressing member 52 is, for example, a rod-shaped member formed of resin or metal. The pressing member 52 in this embodiment is a resin rod. The pressing member 52 is fastened by a screw 52a on the upper surface of the boss portion standing up from the inner surface 24a of the housing member 20 and protrudes in the X2 direction. Thus, the pressing member 52 can press the connector part 41 from above the sheet-like component 30e toward the Z2 side.

[0050] As Figure 5As shown, a step D is formed between the surface 41a of the connector portion 41 and the surface 43c of the component portion 43. Specifically, the height from the surface of the substrate 40 to the surface 43c of the component portion 43 is higher than the height from the surface of the substrate 40 to the surface 41a of the connector portion 41.

[0051] For example, when the camera module 34 corresponds to a USB video class (UVC: USB Video Class) with a resolution of about 720×480 pixels to about 1920×1200 pixels and when it corresponds to 4K with a higher resolution, the heights of the component portions 43, 44, and the lens portion 42 are different. The heights of the component portion 43 and the lens portion 42 vary depending on the product manufacturer. On the other hand, the connector portion 41 can be constituted by a thin connector 46 based on a specified connection standard, and components with a common height can be used even if the resolution and the manufacturer are different. Therefore, a step D is formed between the surfaces 41a and 43c. In addition, the arrangement of each component of the camera module 34 can also be appropriately changed. For example, the lens portion 42 can be arranged beside the connector portion 41.

[0052] Here, without considering the above-mentioned step D, the experimental results obtained by studying the structure in which the surfaces 41a and 43c are covered with the sheet-like member 30e without the hole portion 54 described later will be described. In this case, as Figure 7 shown, it can be seen that the sheet-like member 30e is supported like a tent on the upper side (Z1 side) of the gap C between the surfaces 41a and 43c due to the step D. In particular, the sheet-like member 30e has the above-mentioned three-layer structure. Therefore, the sheet-like member 30e is thicker than the other portions 30a to 30d of the conductive sheet 30 and has lower flexibility. Therefore, it is more difficult for the sheet-like member 30e to follow the step D, and it is easier to be supported in a tent shape above the gap C. Therefore, in this structure, it can be seen that a large gap G is generated between the sheet-like member 30e that expands across the gap C and the periphery of the connector portion 41, and there is a concern that the gap G may become a path for noise or the like. Also, it can be seen that the supported sheet-like member 30e presses the pressing member 52 and deforms it toward the Z1 side. In this case, the pressing member 52 not only loses the pressing action on the connector portion 41 but also has a concern of peeling due to interference with the frame member 21.

[0053] Therefore, the sheet-like member 30e of the present embodiment has a hole portion 54 for suppressing support between the surfaces 41a and 43c.

[0054] As Figures 3 - 6As shown, the hole portion 54 is an elongated hole provided near the center in the X direction of the sheet-like member 30e and extending in the Y direction. A part of the hole portion 54 is provided at a position overlapping the gap C in the up-down (Z direction). The hole portion 54 needs to substantially divide the sheet-like member 30e in the X direction at the portion straddling the gap C. The portion 30e1 on the X1 side is the portion covering the connector portion 41. The portion 30e2 on the X2 side is the portion covering a part of the component portion 43. In addition, the portions 30e1 and 30e2 are fixed to the surfaces 41a and 43c by, for example, double-sided adhesive tape.

[0055] Thereby, it is possible to suppress the portion 30e1 on the lower side of the sheet-like member 30e from being pulled upward by the portion 30e2 in the Z direction and being supported toward the Z1 side in a tent shape. Therefore, the sheet-like member 30e can reliably cover the surface 41a of the connector portion 41 and its peripheral portion without a gap.

[0056] More specifically, it is preferable that the side edge portion 54a on the X1 side of the hole portion 54 is located at a position protruding toward the X2 side from the side surface on the X2 side of the connector portion 41 (see Figure 4B and Figure 5 ). Thereby, the sheet-like member 30e can further reliably cover the surface 41a of the connector portion 41 and its peripheral portion through the portion 30e1 on the X1 side. In addition, the side edge portion 54b on the X2 side becomes a position indented toward the X2 side from the side surface on the X1 side of the component portion 43.

[0057] It is preferable that the end portion 54c on the Y1 side of the hole portion 54 is located on the Z1 side of the upper surface 46a of the connector 46 (see Figure 6 ). In other words, it is preferable that the hole portion 54 is not disposed between the connector 46 and the wall surface 25a of the vertical wall 25. The reason is that the shielding layer 50a is reliably disposed on the Y1 side of the connector 46, improving the shielding performance with respect to the connector 46. From the viewpoint of shielding performance, it is further preferable that the end portion 54c is located on the Z1 side closer to the surface 41a of the connector portion 41 including the flexible substrate 47. Among them, since the surface of the flexible substrate 47 is covered with an insulating material, electromagnetic wave shielding like that of the connector 46 is not necessary. Therefore, it is sufficient that the end portion 54c is at least located on the Z1 side of the upper surface 46a of the connector 46. In this way, the sheet-like member 30e ensures the absorption performance based on the step D of the hole portion 54, and the shielding performance of the connector 46 is further improved.

[0058] The end portion 54d on the Y2 side of the hole portion 54 may be in a position that does not hinder the absorption performance based on the step D of the hole portion 54. The end portion 54d can be located, for example, on the Y2 side of the side surface on the Y2 side of the connector portion 41 (see Figure 6 ).

[0059] The size of the hole portion 54 is not limited. In the case of the present embodiment, the width of the sheet-like member 30e in the X direction is, for example, about 15 mm, the width of the hole portion 54 in the X direction is, for example, about 1 mm to 3 mm, and is 2 mm in the present embodiment. Further, for shielding performance, it is preferable that the width of the portion 30e1 of the sheet-like member 30e covering the connector portion 41 in the X direction is slightly larger than the width of the portion 30e2. For example, the width of the portion 30e1 in the X direction is about 7.5 mm, and the width of the portion 30e2 in the X direction is about 5 mm.

[0060] As described above, the electronic device 10 of the present embodiment includes the sheet-like member 30e for electromagnetic wave shielding, and the sheet-like member 30e for electromagnetic wave shielding is provided to cover from the surface 41a of the connector portion 41 of the camera module 34 to the surface 43c of other members of the camera module 34, such as the component portion 43, across the gap C having the step D. The sheet-like member 30e has a hole portion 54 at a position overlapping the gap C in the vertical direction. Therefore, the electronic device 10 suppresses the sheet-like member 30e from being supported in a tent shape between the connector portion 41 and other adjacent members (component portion 43). Therefore, the sheet-like member 30e can further cover the connector portion 41 without a gap, and the shielding property in the camera module 34 can be ensured. In other words, the electronic device 10 does not need to separately use the sheet-like member 30e according to the resolution of the camera module 34 and the differences in product manufacturers, and can suppress the component cost.

[0061] Moreover, the sheet-like member 30e is configured to follow the step D through the hole portion 54 surrounded by the shielding layer 50a. That is, in order to follow the step D, the sheet-like member 30e, for example, also considers forming a cut from the edge portion on the side opposite to the connection portion with the first portion 30a ( Figure 4B the Y2-side edge portion in) in the Y1 direction to form the portions 30e1 and 30e2. However, in this case, the shielding layer 50a is disconnected at the Y2-side edge portion of the sheet-like member 30e, and there is a concern that this portion becomes a noise path. In particular, if the shielding layer 50a is disconnected in this way, when assembling in the factory, it is also possible that the operator opens the portions 30e1 and 30e2 in a skirt shape from the cut and fixes them, further reducing the shielding property. In this regard, the sheet-like member 30e of the present embodiment has bridging portions 30e3 and 30e4 connecting the left and right portions 30e1 and 30e2 outside the both end portions 54c and 54d of the hole portion 54. Therefore, the shielding layers 50a of the portions 30e1 and 30e2 of the sheet-like member 30e are connected to each other, and higher shielding performance is obtained.

[0062] In particular, in the camera module 34, the height from one surface of the substrate 40 to the surface 43c of the other member (assembly portion 43) is higher than the height from one surface of the substrate 40 to the surface 41a of the connector portion 41. Therefore, a gap G as shown in Figure 7 is more likely to be generated between the sheet-like member 30e and the connector portion 41. In this regard, the electronic device 10 can further reliably shield the connector portion 41 having a height lower than that of the other adjacent members by providing the hole portion 54 in the sheet-like member 30e.

[0063] In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can of course be freely changed without departing from the gist of the present invention.
