In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.
[0021] This application provides an electronic device 100.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3The electronic device 100 includes a display component 10. The area of the display component 10 capable of displaying output includes a target area 10A, which faces a target direction. It can be understood that the electronic device 100 can display and output images or text, or other information perceptible to the user, through the effective display area of the display component 10. The aforementioned target area 10A refers to the area where the electronic device 100 can currently engage in visual interaction with the user, and the target area 10A is a subset of the effective display area. The target direction refers to a preset usage direction, which can be the normal direction of the target area 10A, or the direction towards the user, etc.
[0023] The electronic device 100 described in this application includes, but is not limited to, a monitor, a laptop computer, a mobile phone, etc.
[0024] Please see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the electronic device 100 further includes a body component 30, which serves a supporting function. The body component 30 includes a first body 31 and a second body 32. The second body 32 is a portion that moves relative to the first body 31 during state changes of the electronic device 100. The second body 32 can move relative to the first body 31, allowing the electronic device 100 to switch between a first state and a second state. In the first state and the second state, the relative position of the second body 32 with reference to the first body 31 is different.
[0025] It should be noted that the side of the main body component 30 facing the target direction is the first side, and the second side of the main body component 30 faces the opposite direction to the first side; the second side of the main body component 30 is the side facing away from the target direction. It can be understood that the target area 10A of the display component 10 can be located on the first side of the main body component 30. In embodiments where the main body component 30 has a plate-like structure, the first side and the second side of the main body component 30 can be opposite sides of the plate-like structure.
[0026] During the movement of the second body 32 relative to the first body 31, the size of the first side of the body component 30 increases or decreases, and the display component 10 covers the first side of the body component 30. Correspondingly, the target area 10A increases or decreases. This specification uses the example of the first side of the body component 30 increasing in the first state, causing the electronic device 100 to switch to the second state, as an example. The first state can be referred to as the contracted state, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the second state can be called the extended state, such as Figure 3 As shown. Of course, the electronic device 100 may also have a third state or even a fourth state with a larger target area 10A. In this specification, the first state and the second state represent any two different states, rather than limiting them to two extreme states.
[0027] In this embodiment, the display component 10 may be flexible and easily bent, and may deform as the second body 32 moves relative to the first body 31. In this embodiment, the display component 10 may also be composed of multiple display modules, each display module having a display output function, and the areas of the multiple display modules facing the target direction constitute the target area 10A. The display component 10 may be reassembled as the second body 32 moves relative to the first body 31.
[0028] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 5 The electronic device 100 also includes a first connector 20, which is used to transmit display signals to the display unit 10. That is, the electronic device 100 responds to the display signals transmitted by the first connector 20 to perform display output. The display signals include, but are not limited to, image data signals, control command signals, or power supply signals. The display signals transmitted by the first connector 20 may come from inside the electronic device 100 (e.g., a display card) or from other devices outside the electronic device 100 (e.g., external devices connected via an I / O (input / output) panel).
[0029] The first connector 20 may be a flexible circuit board. Exemplarily, the first connector 20 has pins or plug-in interfaces, etc., and connects to the corresponding structure of the display component 10 to establish a signal connection and transmit display signals. It should be noted that the process by which the first connector 20 connects to the display component 10 is not limited; for example, it may be hot-pressing, soldering, or plugging / unplugging.
[0030] The first connector 20 can be a cable or other signal transmission carrier. Correspondingly, the first connector 20 and the display component 10 each have a connection structure suitable for each other, which will not be described in detail here.
[0031] In the first state, the area of the target region 10A is the first area, the portion of the first connector 20 located on the first side of the body component 30 is the first part, and the portion located on the second side of the body component 30 is the second part.
[0032] In the second state, the area of the target region 10A is the second area, the portion of the first connector 20 located on the first side of the body component 30 is the third portion, and the portion located on the second side of the body component 30 is the fourth portion.
[0033] It is understood that the first area and the second area are not the same; for example, the first area may be smaller than the second area. The area mentioned in this specification refers to the effective coverage area ignoring thickness. For example, in an embodiment where the first connector 20 is a flexible circuit board, the area refers to the projected area of the flexible circuit board on its main plane. The size of the area is not limited; it can infinitely approach zero or be equal to zero.
[0034] During the process of switching the electronic device 100 from the first state to the second state, the first connector 20 remains connected to the display component 10. During the process of switching the electronic device 100 from the second state to the first state, the effective display area of the display component 10 will have redundancy in parts other than the target area 10A. Therefore, the first connector 20 will also have redundancy. The redundancy of the first connector 20 needs to be properly handled to facilitate the electronic device 100 switching from the first state to the second state next time.
[0035] The area difference between the third part and the first part is a first value, and the area difference between the fourth part and the second part is a second value. The second value and the first value satisfy the same condition. This same condition allows for the following: when switching from the first state to the second state, the redundant portion of the first connector 20 decreases, matching the increase in area of the portion of the first connector 20 located on the first side of the body component 30; when switching from the second state to the first state, the redundant portion of the first connector 20 increases, matching the increase in area of the portion of the first connector 20 located on the second side of the body component 30. This allows the redundant portion of the first connector 20 to be placed on the second side of the body component 30. Thus, the redundant portion of the first connector 20 is rationally transferred between the first and second sides of the body component 30, without excessive stacking or winding of the first connector 20. This protects the lifespan of the first connector 20 and also contributes to the thinner and lighter design of the electronic device 100. Thinner and lighter design can refer to a smaller overall size of the electronic device 100 in its thickness direction when the body component 30 has a plate-like structure.
[0036] It should be noted that the methods for partially transferring the first connector 20 between the first and second sides of the body component 30 include, but are not limited to, the following two: First, the body component 30 has an opening (which may be in the first body 31 or the second body 32), and the first connector 20 passes through the opening. Thus, as the second body 32 moves relative to the first body 31, the first connector 20 moves through the opening. Second, the first connector 20 travels around the edge of the body component 30. Thus, as the second body 32 moves relative to the first body 31, the first connector 20 moves along the edge.
[0037] It should be noted that in the electronic device 100 of this application embodiment, the movement of the second body 32 relative to the first body 31 can be implemented manually, i.e., by user operation, or automatically. That is, in some embodiments, the electronic device 100 includes a driving device for driving the second body 32 to move relative to the first body 31. For example, the driving device may include a winch motor and a flexible rope. The flexible rope is connected to the second body 32, and the winch motor is disposed on the first body 31 and operates to wind the flexible rope, thereby pulling the second body 32 to move via the flexible rope. The driving device may also include a motor and a rack and pinion mechanism, or a motor and a worm gear mechanism, etc.
[0038] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 ,as well as Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the first state, the portion of the display component 10 located on the first side of the body component 30 is the fifth portion, and the portion located on the second side of the body component 30 is the sixth portion; in the second state, the portion of the display component 10 located on the first side of the body component 30 is the seventh portion, and the portion located on the second side of the body component 30 is the eighth portion.
[0039] The difference between the area of the fifth part and the area of the seventh part satisfies the same condition as the difference between the area of the sixth part and the area of the eighth part. This same condition allows for the following: when switching from the first state to the second state, the redundant portion of the display component 10 decreases, equal to the increase in area of the portion of the display component 10 located on the first side of the body component 30; when switching from the second state to the first state, the redundant portion of the display component 10 increases, equal to the increase in area of the portion of the display component 10 located on the second side of the body component 30. This allows the redundant portion of the display component 10 to be placed on the second side of the body component 30. Thus, the redundant portion of the display component 10 can be reasonably transferred between the body component 30 and the first and second sides without excessive stacking or winding of the display component 10. This protects the lifespan of the display component 10 and also contributes to the thinner and lighter design of the electronic device 100.
[0040] As an optional embodiment, the display component 10 may be a flexible screen, at least a portion of which covers the first side of the body component 30 and another portion extends to the second side of the body component 30. The flexible screen deforms and moves when the second body 32 moves relative to the first body 31.
[0041] As an optional embodiment, the first body 31 and the second body 32 can satisfy the coplanar condition. The coplanar condition means that at least one surface of the first body 31 and at least one surface of the second body 32 are in the same plane, so that the display component 10 can cover the plane and reduce the unevenness of the target area 10A.
[0042] In some embodiments, the first connector 20 is fixed relative to the display component 10, and it is difficult for the first connector 20 and the display component 10 to move relative to each other. It can be understood that when the display component 10 moves, the first connector 20 moves accordingly, or the display component 10 moves accordingly when the first connector 20 moves.
[0043] In the first state, the first part is located between the main body component 30 and the fifth part, and the second part is located between the main body component 30 and the sixth part. In the second state, the third part is located between the main body component 30 and the seventh part, and the fourth part is located between the main body component 30 and the eighth part. Thus, during the switching between the first and second states, the changes in the first and third parts can occur simultaneously with the changes in the fifth and seventh parts, and the changes in the second and fourth parts can occur simultaneously with the changes in the sixth and eighth parts. The space required for the changes in the display component 10 can also be utilized by the first connector 20, thereby realizing the reuse of the space between the display component 10 and the main body component 30, which is beneficial for further thinning and lightening of the electronic device 100.
[0044] As an optional embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first connector 20 can abut against one side surface of the display component 10. Part of the first connector 20 is located on the first side of the body component 30, and another part extends along the surface of the display component 10 to the second side of the body component 30. When the display component 10 moves relative to the first body component 31 with the second body 32, it can drive the first connector 20 to move. In this way, the structure is simple, easy to implement, and has good reliability.
[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The first side surface of the body component 30 may have a recessed region 30B (e.g., a groove) to accommodate the portion of the first connector 20 located on the first side of the body component 30. Thus, along the thickness direction of the body component 30 (i.e., the direction in which the first and second sides are positioned opposite each other), the solid structure of the first connector 20 is less likely to extend beyond the first side surface of the body component 30, reusing the dimensions of the body component 30 along the thickness direction, which also contributes to the thinning and lightening of the electronic device 100. In embodiments where the display component 10 at least partially covers the first side of the body component 30, this design facilitates a flat target area 10A of the display component 10, reducing unevenness.
[0046] The second side surface of the body component 30 may also have a recessed region 30B to accommodate the portion of the first connector 20 located on the second side of the body component 30. Alternatively, both the first and second side surfaces of the body component 30 may have recessed regions 30B to accommodate corresponding portions of the first connector 20, further reusing the dimensions of the body component 30 along the thickness direction.
[0047] The recessed areas 30B on the first and / or second side surfaces of the body component 30 can be one or more, and more recessed areas 30B can accommodate more portions of the first connector 20.
[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 as well as Figures 6 to 8 The electronic device 100 may include a second connector 40, which is fixed relative to the first body 31. It should be noted that the first connector 20 and the second connector 40 may have the same structure, for example, both being flexible circuit boards, or they may have different structures, for example, the first connector 20 may be a flexible circuit board, while the second connector 40 may be a rigid circuit board, etc.
[0049] Please continue reading. Figure 6 The first connector 20 includes a first connector 21 and a second connector 22 for connecting to the display component 10. For example, the second connector 22 may have pins or plug-in interfaces as described above. The first connector 21 of the first connector 20 is connected to the second connector 40, so that the first connector 21 can be fixed to the first body 31 by the second connector 40.
[0050] The number of first connectors 20 can be one or more, that is, at least two, including two, three, four, etc. In some embodiments where the number of first connectors 20 is multiple, the first connection ends 21 of the first connectors 20 can all be connected to the second connectors 40. In this way, the wiring length and complexity of the first connectors 20 are reduced, and the display signals transmitted by each first connector 20 can be distributed through the second connectors 40.
[0051] For example, the second connector 40 can be an IC board (Integrated Circuit Board) for controlling the display component 10 and providing wiring interfaces for multiple first connectors 20. The second connector 40 can also include a PCB board (Printed Circuit Board), which has good structural strength.
[0052] It should be noted that, in addition to connecting the first connector 20, the second connector 40 can also be used to connect other wiring within the electronic device.
[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 The second connecting end 22 and the second connecting member 40 can both be located on the second side of the body component 30. The second connecting end 22 being located on the second side of the body component 30 facilitates its connection to the portion of the display component 10 located on the second side of the body component 30, such as the edge of the display component 10. The edge may include structures such as connectors for connecting the second connecting end 22. The second connecting member 40 being located on the second side of the body component 30 avoids the display component 10, which helps to ensure the flatness of the first side surface of the body component 30, thereby making the target area 10A of the display component 10 flat.
[0054] Please see Figure 10 The body component 30 may have a through hole 30A, which may penetrate the body component 30 along its thickness direction. The shape of the through hole 30A is not limited; it may be circular or rectangular, or it may be a notch structure formed by a recess at the edge of the body component 30. The first connecting end 21 extends from the first side of the body component 30, passes through the through hole 30A, and connects to the side of the second connecting member 40 facing the body component 30. In other words, the first connecting end 21 is also located on the second side of the body component 30.
[0055] The design of the through hole 30A can accommodate the connection structure (such as pins or plug-in interfaces) between the first connecting end 21 and the second connecting member 40, and also allows a portion of the first connecting member 20 to extend through the through hole 30A to the first side of the body component 30.
[0056] In some embodiments with multiple first connectors 20, the number of through holes 30A may also be multiple. The first connecting end 21 of the first connector 20 passes through the corresponding through hole 30A.
[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 At least one first connector 20 includes a third connector 23, the projection of which is located outside the projection range of the main body component 30 on a projection plane perpendicular to the target direction. This projection plane may be parallel to the main plane of the main body component 30, and the third connector 23 may extend beyond the main body component 30.
[0058] The third connection terminal 23 is used to receive the display signal that needs to be transmitted. It should be noted that the display signal received by the third connection terminal 23 can be directly transmitted to the second connection terminal 22 connected to the display component 10, or it can be transmitted to the first connection terminal 21 connected to the second connector 40, where the display signal can be further processed by the second connector 40 before being transmitted to the second connection terminal 22.
[0059] The first connector 20 with the third connection end 23 can not only be used to transmit display signals, but also provide a signal interface (i.e., the third connection end 23) extending out of the main body component 30. The first connector 20 has a wide range of functions, which makes the wiring on the main body component 30 simpler and is conducive to the thinning and lightening of the electronic device 100.
[0060] For example, in some embodiments, the electronic device 100 includes a housing, and the main body component 30 is located inside the housing. The housing can provide functions such as structural protection and support. The third connection end 23 of the first connector 20 can extend outside the housing to receive display signals transmitted from outside the housing (such as a computer motherboard). In this way, computing tasks can be completed outside the housing, and the structure inside the housing can be simplified as much as possible.
[0061] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The electronic device 100 may include a third body 50 and a third connector 60. The first body 31 is rotatably disposed on the third body 50 about an axis. The third body 50 may be a portion of the electronic device 100 used to support itself on a bearing surface (such as a desktop or other object surface), such as the base of a laptop computer with a keyboard, or the support base of a monitor. The third body 50 may also refer to a local structure within the portion of the electronic device 100 used to support itself on the bearing surface, such as the motherboard within the base of a laptop computer. The first body 31 and the third body 50 may be connected by a hinge or other moving mechanism.
[0062] Please see Figures 1 to 3 ,as well as Figure 8 The third connector 60 has its two ends connected to the third body 50 and the first connector 20, respectively. The third connector 60 can transmit the display signal emitted by the third body 50 to the first connector 20, which helps maintain the transmission of the display signal regardless of the relative angle between the first body 31 and the third body 50. The third connector 60 can be a cable, etc., and can be connected to the third connection end 23 of the first connector 20.
[0063] The third connector 60 is routed within the electronic device 100. The third connector 60 passes through the first position 61, the second position 62 and the third position 63. The first position 61 is close to the third body 50, the second position 62 is close to the first body 31, and the third position 63 is located between the third body 50 and the first body 31. The third position 63 is away from the line connecting the first position 61 and the second position 62 along the axial direction.
[0064] The first position 61, the second position 62, and the third position 63 mentioned above refer to the different positions through which the third connecting line passes. The first position 61 can be located within the range of the third body 50 or in the vicinity outside the third body 50. It is closer to the third body 50 than the second position 62. The second position 62 can be located within the first body 31 or in the vicinity of the first body 31. It is closer to the first body 31 than the first position 61.
[0065] Thus, the lines connecting the first position 61 and the third position 63, and the lines connecting the second position 62 and the third position 63, are arranged at an angle. The third connector 60 extends from one end connected to the third body 50 to the third position 63, and changes its extension direction at least once to extend to the first body 31, thereby establishing a connection with the first connector 20. In this way, the third connector 60 can establish a signal transmission path from the third body 50 to the first body 31, and avoid the connection structure (such as a hinge) between the third body 50 and the first body 31, which is beneficial to simplifying the electrical structure within the first body 31 and making the electronic device 100 thinner and lighter.
[0066] For example, please refer to Figure 2 The first body 31 is rotated around the axis (reference). Figure 2 (As shown by the dashed line in the diagram) is rotatably connected to the third body 50, and the position of the first body 31 along the axial direction satisfies the same condition as the position of the support member along the axial direction. In this way, the first body 31 can rotate to approach the third body 50, reducing space occupation and facilitating the storage and carrying of the electronic device 100.
[0067] For example, taking the case where the third body 50 is placed on a horizontal support surface, from the user's perspective (in this case, the target direction is towards the user), the third connector 60 is located near the left side of the third body 50. The third connector 60 extends from one end connected to the third body 50, extends to the left to a third position 63, and then extends to the right to the vicinity of the first body 31, connecting with the first connector 20. Alternatively, the third connector 60 can be located near the right side of the third body 50. The third connector 60 is connected to one end of the third body 50, extends from the third body 50, extends to the right to a third position 63, and then extends to the vicinity of the first body 31, connecting with the first connector 20.
[0068] In some embodiments, there can be two second bodies 32, located at opposite ends of the first body 31 (e.g., the left and right ends within the user's field of vision), and the two second bodies 32 are coplanar. The two second bodies 32 can move simultaneously relative to the first body 31, or they can move independently relative to the first body 31. The change from the first area to the second area of the target region 10A of the display component 10 can include the following three methods: first, one second body 32 moves alone; second, the other second body 32 moves alone; third, both second bodies 32 move towards each other simultaneously. The design of two second bodies 32 provides multiple ways to implement the change in the area of the target region 10A.
[0069] The two second bodies 32 satisfying the coplanar condition means that at least one surface of one second body 32 lies in the same plane as at least one surface of the other second body 32. In this way, the display component 10 can cover the plane, reducing the unevenness of the target area 10A.
[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 9 to 11 The main body component 30 includes a guide wheel 33. During the switching process between the first state and the second state of the electronic device 100, the guide wheel 33 makes rolling contact with the display component 10. Rolling contact means that the guide wheel 33 rolls relative to the display component 10 and maintains contact. The rolling of the guide wheel 33 can facilitate the smooth movement of the display component 10 and facilitate the smooth adjustment of the target area 10A of the display component 10.
[0071] Please continue to participate. Figure 11 The peripheral surface of the guide wheel 33 has a grooved area (e.g., a recess) for the first connector 20 to pass through. In this way, the guide wheel 33 can also roll in contact with the first connector 20, and the thickness of the first connector 20 is less likely to affect the display component 10, which helps to protect the flatness of the effective display area of the display component 10.
[0072] As an optional embodiment, the guide wheel 33 can be disposed at the end of the second body 32. A portion of the display component 10 is located on the first side of the body component 30, and another portion is located on the second side of the body component 30. During the movement of the second body 32 relative to the first body 31, the display component 10 also moves. The portion of the display component 10 located on the first side of the body component 30 rolls past the guide wheel 33 and moves to the second side of the body component 30, or the portion of the display component 10 located on the second side of the body component 30 rolls past the guide wheel 33 and moves to the first side of the body component 30. During this process, the first connecting member 20 can also move. The portion of the first connecting member 20 located on the first side of the body component 30 rolls past the guide wheel 33 and moves to the second side of the body component 30, or the portion of the first connecting member 20 located on the second side of the body component 30 rolls past the guide wheel 33 and moves to the first side of the body component 30.
