In order to achieve the close arrangement of the screen components (such as the voltage stabilizing capacitors of the screen power supply, etc.) of the electronic device and the screen chip, the screen components need to be stacked with the battery in the thickness direction of the electronic device.

[0003] After the screen components and the battery are stacked, the thickness space of the battery will be occupied, thereby thinning the thickness of the battery.

[0010] In the embodiments of the present application, since some screen devices need to be disposed close to the screen chip, the screen devices that need to be close to the screen chip can be used as the first devices and disposed close to the screen chip. And some screen devices that can be far from the screen chip are used as the second devices and disposed at a relatively far distance from the screen chip. That is to say, the distance between the first device and the screen chip is less than the distance between the second device and the screen chip.

The screen chip is provided on the bending portion. Since the bending portion will take up a part of the space, if the bending portion is provided on the side wall of the electronic device with an antenna, the black border area of ​​the screen will increase, thereby reducing the screen-to-body ratio of the screen. Therefore, the bending portion can be provided at a position close to the second side wall, and the antenna is not provided on the second side wall. Therefore, there is no need to maintain a large distance between the bending portion and the second side wall, thereby avoiding an increase in the black border area of ​​the screen to increase the screen-to-body ratio of the screen.

[0034] The following will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] The present application provides an electronic device. By laminating at least a part of the screen devices of the electronic device with the protection board of the battery, the internal space of the electronic device is fully utilized, and the thickness of the battery is prevented from being affected by the screen devices, so as to extend the standby time of the electronic device.

[0036] In the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may be a mobile phone, a tablet, a wearable device (such as a watch), a large-screen device, an augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), etc. electronic devices with display functions, which are not limited in the present application. Hereinafter, a mobile phone will be taken as an example of the electronic device for introduction.

[0037] Figures 1A to 1C An exemplary structural diagram of the electronic device 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown. Among them, the electronic device 100 is a foldable device. Figure 1A A schematic diagram of the unfolded state of the electronic device 100 is shown. Figure 1BShows a schematic diagram of the intermediate state of the electronic device 100. Figure 1C Shows a schematic diagram of the folded state of the electronic device 100.

[0038] Referring to Figures 1A to 1C , the electronic device 100 includes a first body 10, a second body 20, and a rotating shaft mechanism 30. The first body 10 and the second body 20 are connected by the rotating shaft mechanism 30, enabling the first body 10 and the second body 20 to rotate relative to each other so that the electronic device can switch between the folded state and the unfolded state.

[0039] In each of the figures herein, the X direction is the width direction of the first body 10 of the electronic device 100 (which can also be understood as the extending direction of the rotation axis of the rotating shaft mechanism 30), the Y direction is the length direction of the first body 10 of the electronic device 100, and the Z direction is the thickness direction of the first body 10 of the electronic device 100. The X direction, Y direction, and Z direction can be perpendicular to each other pairwise. It can be understood that during the process of the electronic device 100 switching from the unfolded state to the folded state, the overall size of the electronic device 100 in the length direction gradually decreases, and the size in the thickness direction first increases and then decreases.

[0040] Exemplarily, the first body 10 includes a first inner screen 41, a first middle frame 11, and a screen 12. Along the Z direction, the first inner screen 41 and the screen 12 are respectively located on opposite sides of the first middle frame 11. In this embodiment, the first inner screen 41 and the first middle frame 11 together form the first housing 50 of the first body 10 of the electronic device 100 (as an example of the housing of the electronic device). The first housing 50 and the screen 12 are arranged opposite to each other along the Z direction to enclose the first accommodation cavity of the first body 10 of the electronic device 100 (as an example of the accommodation cavity of the electronic device). Exemplarily, the screen 12 can be fixed to the first housing 50 by bonding.

[0041] In some other embodiments, the first housing 50 can also be formed in other ways. For example, in some embodiments, the first housing 50 may not include the first inner screen 41, but instead replace the first inner screen 41 with a rear cover. In this embodiment, the first housing 50 can be formed by connecting the first middle frame 11 and the rear cover. Another example is that in some other embodiments, the first housing 50 can include the first middle frame 11, the rear cover, and the first inner screen 41. The first middle frame 11 is connected to the rear cover, and the first inner screen 41 covers the rear cover.

[0042] The second main body 20 includes a second inner screen 42, a second middle frame 21, and a rear cover 22. Along the thickness direction of the second main body 20, the second inner screen 42 and the rear cover 22 are respectively located on opposite sides of the second middle frame 21. In this embodiment, the second main body 20 may have a structure similar to that of the first main body 10. For example, the second inner screen 42 and the second middle frame 21 together form a second housing 60 of the second main body 20, and the second housing 60 and the rear cover 22 are disposed opposite to each other along the thickness direction of the second main body 20 to enclose a second accommodation cavity of the second main body 20 of the electronic device 100.

[0043] The first inner screen 41, the second inner screen 42, and the screen 12 can all be touch screens. In some embodiments, the first inner screen 41 and the second inner screen 42 may be two parts of the same flexible screen, and during the unfolding or folding process of the electronic device 100, the flexible screen is simultaneously unfolded or folded. In other embodiments, the first inner screen 41 and the second inner screen 42 may also be two physically independent screens.

[0044] The screen 12 can be a flexible screen or a non-flexible screen. In some embodiments of the present application, the screen 12 may adopt an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display screen, an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode or an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display screen, etc., which are not limited in this embodiment.

[0045] Hereinafter, taking the first main body 10 of the electronic device 100 as an example, the internal structure of the electronic device 100 will be introduced. Among them, the second main body 20 of the electronic device 100 may also have the same or similar structural distribution as the first main body 10, or may have a structure different from that of the first main body 10, which is not limited in the present application.

[0046] It can be understood that Figures 1A to 1C This is only an exemplary description of the structure of the electronic device, and the present application is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments, the electronic device 100 may also be a non-foldable device, an outer-foldable screen device, an inner-foldable screen device, a three-fold device, etc. When the electronic device is a non-foldable device, it may have the same or similar structure as the first main body 10 of the embodiment of the present application; when the electronic device is a foldable device in other ways, one of its main bodies may have the same or similar structure as the first main body 10 of the embodiment of the present application.

[0047] For ease of understanding, first, in combination with Figures 2A to 2B the exemplary structure of the first main body 10' in the electronic device provided by some embodiments will be introduced. Among them, Figure 2A This is a front view of the first main body 10'. Figure 2BSchematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the first main body 10'( Figure 2A cross-sectional view A-A in Figure 2C and Fig. 4 is an internal structure diagram of the first main body 10' after removing the screen 12'.

[0048] Referring to Figures 2A to 2B , the first main body 10' includes a housing 50', a screen 12', a battery 151' and a main board 14'. Along the Z direction, the screen 12' is covered on the housing 50' to form an accommodation cavity 13' with the housing 50'. Along the Y direction, the battery 151' and the main board 14' are sequentially arranged in the accommodation cavity 13'.

[0049] The screen 12' includes a display module 122' and a screen chip 123' arranged on the display module 122'. The screen chip 123' is located in the accommodation cavity 13' and is arranged close to the bottom wall 112' of the housing 50'.

[0050] Among them, the electronic device 100' further includes a plurality of screen devices 18', and each screen device 18' is electrically connected to the screen chip 123' (the electrical connection lines are not shown in the figure). Since some screen devices 18' (for example, the voltage stabilizing capacitor of the screen 12' power supply) need to be connected to the screen chip 123' nearby. Therefore, the screen devices 18' are arranged at the position of the battery 151'. That is, the screen devices 18' are arranged to be stacked with the battery 151' along the Z direction.

[0051] It can be understood that since the screen devices 18' need to be stacked with the battery 13' in the Z direction, the thickness of the battery 13' (i.e., the height along the Z direction) will be reduced, resulting in a decrease in the capacity of the battery 13'. This causes a reduction in the standby time of the electronic device 100'. In addition, in some cases, in order to ensure the safety of the battery 13', the battery 13' and the screen devices 18' need to have a certain avoidance distance in the thickness direction, which will further compress the thickness of the battery 13'.

[0052] To solve the above problems, some embodiments of the present application provide an electronic device, including a battery and a protection board for protecting the battery. In addition, the present application stacks at least a part of the screen devices with the protection board of the battery to make full use of the thickness space of the position where the protection board is located to arrange the screen devices, so as to avoid the screen devices occupying the space of the battery and not requiring the reduction of the battery size, thereby extending the standby time of the electronic device.

[0053] The following will be combined with Figures 3A to 3C to introduce the exemplary structure of the first main body 10 of the electronic device 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application. Among them, Figure 3A Fig. 7 is a front view of the first main body 10 of the electronic device 100. Figure 3B Fig. 8 is an internal structure diagram of the first main body 10 after removing the screen 12. Figure 3CCross-sectional view of the first body 10 ( Figure 3B Cross-sectional view of C-C in

[0054] In addition, for the sake of description, in this article, for each device inside the first body 10, the side of the device facing the screen 12 along the Z-axis direction is referred to as the "upper side" of the device, and the side of the device facing the first inner screen 41 along the Z-axis direction is referred to as the "lower side" of the device.

[0055] Refer to Figure 3A , as described above, the first body 10 may include a first housing 50 (formed by connecting the middle frame 11 and the first inner screen 41) and the screen 12. Refer to Figures 3B to 3C , along the thickness direction of the first body 10 (e.g., Figure 3B the Z direction in

[0056] Refer to Figure 3B and Figure 3C , the middle frame 11 may include a first side wall 111 and a second side wall 112 that are oppositely arranged along the Y direction, and a third side wall 113 and a fourth side wall 114 that are oppositely arranged along the X direction. The first side wall 111, the second side wall 112, the third side wall 113, the fourth side wall 114, and the first inner screen 41 may jointly form the housing 50. Along the Z direction, the screen 12 is covered on the first side wall 111, the second side wall 112, the third side wall 113, and the fourth side wall 114 to enclose the first accommodation cavity 13 with the housing 50.

[0057] When the user is using the electronic device 100 (e.g., when the user is viewing the display interface of the screen 12), the first side wall 111 may be located above the electronic device 100, the second side wall 112 may be located below the electronic device 100, the third side wall 113 may be located on the left side of the electronic device 100, and the fourth side wall 114 may be located on the right side of the electronic device 100. Therefore, for the sake of description, the first side wall 111, the second side wall 112, the third side wall 113, and the fourth side wall 114 may be respectively referred to as the top wall 111, the bottom wall 112, the left side wall 113, and the right side wall 114.

[0058] Among them, antennas of the electronic device 100 may be provided on the top wall 111, the left side wall 113, and / or the right side wall 114 to implement the wireless communication function between the electronic device 100 and other devices. Taking the antenna provided on the left side wall 113 as an example. Refer to Figure 4, the left side wall 113 may include a metal layer 115 and a plastic layer 116 that are attached to each other. In some embodiments, a pattern with a set shape may be processed on the metal layer 115 so that the pattern has the function of radiating electromagnetic waves in a specific frequency band, thereby making a partial structure of the left side wall 113 constitute an antenna radiator of the electronic device 100. In other embodiments, the antenna radiator may also be an independent component and be fixed on the left side wall 113, so as to achieve the purpose of arranging an antenna on the left side wall 113.

[0059] It can be understood that in some embodiments, antennas may be arranged on the top wall 111, the left side wall 113, and the right side wall 114; in other embodiments, antennas may be arranged on one or both of the top wall 111, the left side wall 113, and the right side wall 114. Additionally, when an antenna is arranged on the left side wall 113 and / or the right side wall 114, the antenna may be arranged at a position close to the top of the first body 10 (that is, the antenna is closer to the top wall 111 relative to the bottom wall 112).

[0060] Refer to Figure 3B and Figure 3C , in some embodiments of the present application, a first circuit board is further provided in the accommodation cavity 13. Exemplarily, the first circuit board may be the main board 14 of the electronic device. The main board 14 may include, for example, a printed circuit board (PCB) and components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, triodes, field effect transistors, interface devices, sensors, and integrated circuits arranged on the PCB. The main board 14 processes internal and external signals and controls the functions of the electronic components of the electronic device 100 through the above-mentioned devices, including display, charging, power on / off, function applications, etc. In other embodiments, the first circuit board may also be other circuit boards other than the main board 14, for example, a dedicated circuit board for the screen, a secondary board of the electronic device 100, etc.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, a battery assembly 15 is further provided in the first accommodation cavity 13. The battery assembly 15 includes a battery 151 and a protection board 152 of the battery 151. The protection board 152 can be used to protect the battery 151 and can also be used to apply pressure to the contacts of the battery 151 to improve the electrical connection reliability of the battery 151. Exemplarily, the protection board 152 may include a portion stacked with the battery 151 in the Z direction, and may also include a portion located on one side of the battery 151 in the first direction (the first direction is perpendicular to the Z direction, for example, the first direction is the X direction or the Y direction) (in this text, this portion is referred to as the first portion 152a of the protection board 152). It can be understood that the projection of the first portion 152a of the protection board 152 in the Z direction does not overlap with the projection of the battery 151 in the Z direction. And, in some examples, refer to Figure 3C, the thickness of the first part 152a of the protection board 152 (the dimension of the first part along the Z direction) is less than the thickness of the battery 151 (the dimension of the battery along the Z direction). However, the present application is not limited thereto. In other examples, the thickness of the first part 152a of the protection board 152 may also be equal to or slightly greater than the thickness of the battery 151.

[0062] In this embodiment, the battery 151 and the first part of the protection board 152 are arranged in sequence along the X direction (for example Figure 3B from left to right are the first part 152a of the protection board 152 and the battery 151). In other embodiments, the battery 151 and the first part 152a of the protection board 152 may also be arranged in sequence along other directions perpendicular to the Z direction, for example, arranged in sequence along the Y direction. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the relative positions of the first part 152a of the protection board 152 and the battery 151.

[0063] Continuing to refer to Figure 3A , the first main body 10 further includes a screen 12. In this embodiment, the screen 12 may be a flexible screen, for example, an OLED screen. In addition, the screen 12 may also have a touch function.

[0064] Figure 5A Shows a rear view of the screen 12 (the side of the screen 12 facing the first accommodation cavity 13), Figure 5B Shows Figure 5A The E-E cross-sectional view of. Refer to Figure 5A And Figure 5B , the screen 12 may include a cover plate 121 and a display module 122, and the display module 122 includes a display part 122a (or "AA") and a bending part 122b (or "COP") that are connected to each other. Among them, the display part 122a is the part of the display module 122 for displaying images and receiving user touch operations, and it is usually exposed to the outside of the electronic device 100 and visible to the user. The display part 122a may include a plurality of pixels arranged in an array, and each pixel may display different colors so that the display part 122a can display a predetermined interface image. The bending part 122b may be provided with traces, and other devices in the electronic device 100 (for example, a main board, a display chip, etc.) may be electrically connected to the display part 122a through the traces to control the pixel array in the display part 122a. The bending part 122b is usually hidden inside the electronic device 100 and not visible to the user. For example, the bending part 122b may be located in the first accommodation cavity 13. In addition, as Figure 5BAs shown, there is a distance H between the edge of the bent portion 122b and the edge of the display portion 122a. Among them, H = H1 + H2, where H1 is the size of the non-bent area of the bent portion 122b, and H2 is the maximum size required for the bending of the bent portion 122b. H2 can be determined by the material, thickness, etc. of the bent portion 122b. The value of H can be between 0.9 mm and 1.3 mm. For example, in the embodiment of the present application, H is 1.1 mm.

[0065] The screen 12 may further include a cover plate 121. The cover plate 121 may be, for example, a cover glass (CG), which is disposed on the display portion 122a to protect the display portion 122a. In some embodiments, a polarizer and an optical adhesive may be laminated between the cover plate 121 and the display module 122. The polarizer is used to control the propagation direction and polarization state of light, so as to adjust the display brightness and contrast of the screen 12.

[0066] Reference Figure 5A In the embodiment of the present application, the bent portion 122b is disposed at the bottom of the first body 10. That is to say, along the Y direction, the bent portion 122b is closer to the bottom wall 112 than the top wall 111. This is because, in order to improve the aesthetic degree of the electronic device 100, a black border area is provided between the edge of the display portion 122a and the middle frame 11 to shield the internal structure of the electronic device 100. As described above, since antennas may be provided on the left side wall 113, the right side wall 114, and / or the top wall 111 of the middle frame 11, the display module 122 needs to maintain a clearance distance d from the left side wall 113, the right side wall 114, and / or the top wall 111 to avoid interference of the display module 122 with the antennas and affect the performance of the antennas.

[0067] Since there is a distance H between the edge of the bent portion 122b and the edge of the display portion 122a, if the bent portion 19 is disposed at the top, left side, or right side of the first body 10, the width w1 of the top black border area, the width w2 of the left black border area, or the width w3 of the right black border area needs to be greater than or equal to d + H. In this way, the screen-to-body ratio of the screen 12 of the first body 10 of the electronic device 100 (for example, the ratio of the displayable area of the screen 12 to the overall area of the first body 10) is reduced, and the appearance is not beautiful enough.

[0068] In this embodiment, considering that no antenna is provided on the bottom wall 112, therefore, the bent portion 122b of the screen 12 is arranged at the bottom of the first body. In this way, there is no need to reserve an antenna avoidance distance d between the bent portion 122b and the bottom wall 112, and the width w4 of the bottom black edge area only needs to be greater than or equal to the size H of the bent portion. The width of the black edge areas at other positions (for example, the top black edge area, the left black edge area or the right black edge area) only needs to be greater than or equal to the antenna avoidance distance d. Thus, the width of the black edge area of the first body 10 can be reduced, the screen-to-body ratio of the first body 10 can be increased, and the aesthetics of the first body 10 of the electronic device 100 can be improved.

[0069] It can be understood that arranging the bent portion 122b at the bottom of the first body 10 is only an example. In some other embodiments, if it is not considered that the black edge area of the first body 10 is too large, or for other reasons, the bent portion 122b can also be arranged at other positions, such as the top of the first body 10, the left side portion, etc. In the embodiments of the present application, the position of the bent portion 122b is not limited.

[0070] Reference Figure 5A And in combination with Figure 3B , the screen 12 is electrically connected to the main board 14 through a second circuit board so that the screen 12 can receive a control signal from the main board 14. In this embodiment, the second circuit board is a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) 17. For easy observation, Figure 3B the outline of the flexible circuit board is shown by a dotted line. Reference Figure 3B , the end of the bent portion 19 of the display module 122 of the screen 12 is electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 17. In addition, along the Z direction, the flexible circuit board 17 can be arranged between the main board 14 and the display module 122 (that is, the flexible circuit board 17 can cover the main board 14 and the battery assembly 15). And the projection of the flexible circuit board 17 along the Z direction can at least partially coincide with the projections of the main board 14 and the battery module 15 along the Z direction.

[0071] Continue to refer to Figure 5A and Figure 3B . In the embodiments of the present application, the screen 12 may further include a screen chip 123 (or "screen IC") electrically connected to the display module 122. The screen chip 123 can receive a control instruction from the main board 14 and control the display portion 122a according to the control instruction. For example, controlling the color, brightness, etc. of each pixel of the display portion 122a so that the display portion 122a can display a predetermined image.

[0072] The screen chip 123 can be disposed on the bent portion 122b. For example, the bent portion 122b has a surface facing away from the display portion 122a, and the screen chip 123 can be disposed on this surface. The screen chip 123 can be electrically connected to the traces in the bent portion 122b and achieve electrical connection with the display portion 122a and the flexible circuit board 17 through the traces of the bent portion 122b. It can be understood that in this embodiment, since the bent portion 122b is located at the bottom of the first body 10, the screen chip 123 is also located at the bottom of the first body 10 of the electronic device 100. That is, along the Y direction, the screen chip 123 is closer to the bottom wall 112 than the top wall 111.

[0073] In addition, as Figure 3B shown, along the Y direction, the screen chip 123, the battery assembly 15, and the main board 14 can be arranged in sequence. Exemplarily, along the XY plane, the positions of the main board 14, the battery assembly 15, and the screen chip 123 do not overlap. However, the present application is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the screen chip 123, the battery assembly 15, and the main board 14 can also have other arrangement manners. For example, the battery assembly 15 and the main board 14 are arranged side by side along the X direction. In addition, there may be no middle frame panel isolation between the screen 12 and the main board 14, and between the screen 12 and the battery assembly 15.

[0074] In some other embodiments, the screen 12 may not be a flexible screen. In this embodiment, each part of the display module 122 of the screen 12 can be located in the same plane (that is, the display module 122 does not include the bent portion 122b). In this embodiment, the screen chip 123 may not be disposed on the display module 122, but is electrically connected to the display module 122 through other devices (such as a flexible circuit board).

[0075] Continuing Figure 3B and Figure 3C , in some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 may further include one or more screen devices 18, and each screen device 18 can be electrically connected to the screen 12 (for example, electrically connected to the display module 122 and / or the screen chip 123 of the screen 12). The screen device 18 can be located in the first accommodation cavity 13. For example, the screen device 18 can be disposed on the surface of the flexible circuit board 17 and be electrically connected to the screen 12 through the flexible circuit board 17. In some other embodiments, the screen device 18 can also be electrically connected to the screen 12 in other ways. For example, it is electrically connected to the screen 12 through an enameled wire.

[0076] Figure 6 An exemplary setting manner of the screen device 18 is shown. Among them, Figure 6 is Figure 3B the D-D cross-sectional view. For ease of observation, Figure 6 the first part 152a of the protection board 152 is circled with a dotted line.

[0077] Reference Figure 6 And in combination with Figure 3B and Figure 3C , in this embodiment, at least a part of the screen device 18 is stacked with the first part 152a of the protection plate 152 in the Z direction. For example, the screen device 18 includes one or more first devices 181, and the first devices 181 can be stacked with the first part 152a of the protection plate 152. That is, the projection of the first device 181 in the Z direction at least partially overlaps with the projection of the first part 152a of the protection plate 152 in the Z direction. In some embodiments, the projection of the first device 181 in the Z direction is entirely within the projection range of the first part 152a of the protection plate 152 in the Z direction; in other embodiments, the projection of the first device 181 in the Z direction is partially within the projection range of the first part 152a of the protection plate 152 in the Z direction. In addition, the projection of the first device 181 in the Z direction may not overlap with the projection of the battery 151 in the Z direction. In addition, the first device 181 may be stacked between the flexible circuit board 17 and the first part 152a of the protection plate 152.

[0078] That is to say, in this embodiment, the thickness space where the protection plate 152 is located is fully utilized to arrange the screen device 18, which can avoid the screen device 18 occupying the thickness space of the battery 151 (that is, the projection of the screen device 18 in the Z direction may not overlap with the projection of the battery 151 in the Z direction), so as to avoid thinning the thickness of the battery 151 and improve the standby time of the electronic device 100.

[0079] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 shown, the thickness of the first part 152a of the protection plate 152 can be less than the thickness of the battery 151. In this embodiment, the first device 181 can have a larger layout space. However, the present application is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the thickness of the first part 152a of the protection plate 152 can be substantially the same as or slightly greater than the thickness of the battery 151. Since the required avoidance distance between the protection plate 152 and the screen device 18 in the thickness direction is less than the avoidance distance between the battery 151 and the screen device 18, therefore, even if the thickness of the first part 152a is equal to or greater than the thickness of the battery 151, the space above the protection plate 152 can be used to arrange the screen device 18 to avoid the screen device 18 occupying the thickness space of the battery 151.

[0080] In addition, considering that in some electronic devices 100, the space above the protection plate 152 is limited, part of the screen device 18 can be stacked with other components outside the battery assembly 15. For example, reference Figure 3B 、 Figure 3C and Figure 6, in some embodiments, the screen device 18 may further include one or more second devices 182, and the projection of the second device 182 along the Z direction does not overlap with the battery assembly 15. Exemplarily, the second device 182 may be stacked with the main board 14 along the Z direction. For example, the second device 182 may be stacked between the main board 14 and the flexible circuit board 17.

[0081] It can be understood that in other embodiments, if the space above the first part 152a of the protection board 152 can accommodate all the screen devices 18, then all the screen devices 18 may be stacked with the first part 152a of the protection board 152 along the Z direction.

[0082] In this embodiment, the first device 181 may be a power supply protection device for the screen 12. For example, a voltage stabilizing capacitor for the power supply of the screen 12, a filtering capacitor for the power supply of the screen 12, etc. Exemplarily, the voltage stabilizing capacitor for the power supply of the screen 12 can stabilize the power supply voltage and improve the stability of the voltage input to the screen 12. The filtering capacitor for the power supply of the screen 12 can filter out high-frequency noise in the power supply and improve the stability and reliability of the current input to the screen 12.

[0083] The second device 182 may be a touch control function control device for the screen 12. For example, a touch control chip, a touch control protection device, a clock chip, etc. Exemplarily, the touch control chip can process the touch signals on the screen 12 and convert them into digital signals; the touch control protection device can be used to protect the touch control chip and prevent electrostatic damage to the touch control chip; the clock chip can be connected to multiple touch control chips to keep the multiple touch control chips clock-synchronized.

[0084] In this embodiment, it is considered that the first device 181 is a device that needs to be connected to the screen chip 123 in the vicinity. For example, when the voltage stabilizing capacitor of the power supply of the screen 12 is far from the screen chip, the voltage stabilizing effect of the voltage stabilizing capacitor will deteriorate, and problems such as horizontal stripes will appear on the screen 12. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first device 181 is stacked with the protection board 152, and the second device 182 is stacked with the main board 14, so that the distance between the first device 181 and the screen chip 123 is closer than the distance between the second device 182 and the screen chip 123. It can be understood that in other embodiments, when the main board 14 and the battery assembly 15 have other arrangement manners (for example, when the main board 14 is located below the battery assembly 15), the first device 181 may also be stacked with the main board 14, and the second device 182 may be stacked with the protection board 152 of the battery 151.

[0085] In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device. By stacking at least part of the screen device with the battery protection board, the thickness space of the battery can be avoided from being occupied, so as to avoid thinning the battery thickness and improve the standby time of the electronic device.

The "and / or" herein is merely a description of the relationship between associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A exists alone, B exists alone, and both A and B exist simultaneously.
