[0053] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0054] In electronic devices with displays, the screen is surrounded by a screen bezel, and functional modules such as microphones and cameras are usually installed inside the screen bezel to enable the electronic device to perform multiple functions.
[0055] The applicant's research revealed that the design of multiple functional modules increases the width of the screen bezel, especially the bezel where the sensors are located. In designs where multiple functional modules are installed within the screen bezel, it is difficult to reduce the bezel width, resulting in a smaller display size and a lower screen-to-body ratio for the electronic device.
[0056] Therefore, this application provides a border component.
[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the bezel component 100 provided in this embodiment may include a screen bezel 1 and a functional module 2. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the screen bezel 1 is used to mount the display screen 200.
[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, the screen bezel 1 includes a first side portion 101, which is located on one side of the screen bezel 1 along the Y direction, which can be referred to as the first direction. The screen bezel 1 may also include a second side portion 102, which is located on the other side of the screen bezel 1 along the first direction. For example, the first direction can be the width direction of the screen bezel 1, and the width direction of the display screen 200 can be parallel to the first direction.
[0059] It should be noted that the width direction of the screen bezel 1 refers to the vertical direction when the display screen 200 is in normal use; the width direction of the display screen 200 refers to the vertical direction when the display screen 200 is in normal use.
[0060] The screen bezel 1 may also include a third side 103 and a fourth side 104, with the third side 103 located on one side of the screen bezel 1 along the X direction and the fourth side 104 located on the other side of the screen bezel 1 along the X direction. The X direction may be referred to as a second direction. The second direction is different from the first direction.
[0061] For example, the second direction can be perpendicular to the first direction, the second direction can be the length direction of the screen border 1, and the length direction of the display screen 200 can be parallel to the second direction; or, the second direction and the first direction can be tilted relative to each other.
[0062] It should be noted that the length direction of the screen bezel 1 refers to the left-right direction under normal operating conditions of the display screen 200; the length direction of the display screen 200 refers to the left-right direction under normal operating conditions of the display screen 200. Combined with... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first side portion 101 includes a first side segment 1011 and a second side segment 1012, which are connected and distributed along a second direction.
[0063] It should be noted that, Figure 4 The two vertical dashed lines in the diagram refer to the dividing line between the first side segment 1011 and the second side segment 1012. In the actual product, these dashed lines do not exist.
[0064] There can be one second side segment 1012, and there can be one or two first side segments 1011. In an embodiment where there are two first side segments 1011, the second side segment 1012 is connected between the two first side segments 1011.
[0065] The width L1 of the first side segment 1011 along the first direction is less than the width L2 of the second side segment 1012 along the first direction.
[0066] It should be noted that the width of the first side segment 1011 along the first direction at different positions in the second direction can be the same or different. For example, the width of the first side segment 1011 along the first direction at a first position in the second direction and the width of the first side segment 1011 along the first direction at a second position in the second direction can be the same or different. Therefore, the width L1 of the first side segment 1011 along the first direction refers to the maximum value of the width of the first side segment 1011 along the first direction.
[0067] Accordingly, the width of the second side segment 1012 at different positions along the first direction in the second direction can be the same or different. For example, the width of the second side segment 1012 at the first position along the first direction in the second direction and the width of the second side segment 1012 at the second position along the first direction in the second direction can be the same or different. Therefore, the width L2 of the second side segment 1012 along the first direction refers to the maximum value of the width of the second side segment 1012 along the first direction.
[0068] The first side segment 1011 has a first inner side 10111 and a first outer side 10112 distributed along a first direction, and the second side segment 1012 has a second inner side 10121 and a second outer side 10122 distributed along a first direction.
[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the display screen 200 can be a non-full-screen display. Along the first direction, the first inner edge 10111 is closer to the display screen 200 than the first outer edge 10112, and the second inner edge 10121 is closer to the display screen 200 than the second outer edge 10122.
[0070] In some other embodiments, the display screen 200 can be a full-screen display, with the first inner edge 10111 being closer to the effective display area of the display screen 200 than the first outer edge 10112 along the first direction, and the second inner edge 10121 being closer to the effective display area of the display screen 200 than the second outer edge 10122.
[0071] The maximum value of the distance between the first inner edge 10111 and the first outer edge 10112 along the first direction is the width L1 of the first side segment 1011 along the first direction; the maximum value of the distance between the second inner edge 10121 and the second outer edge 10122 along the first direction is the width L2 of the second side segment 1012 along the first direction.
[0072] In some embodiments, the first inner edge 10111 and the second inner edge 10121 may be arranged parallel in the first direction, and the second outer edge 10122 is farther away from the second inner edge 10121 than the first outer edge 10112. This can also be understood as: the first outer edge 10112 is farther away from the first inner edge 10111 than the second outer edge 10122.
[0073] like Figure 4 As shown, in some other embodiments, in order to reduce the length of the second outer edge 10122 protruding along the first direction, in the first direction, the second outer edge 10122 is farther away from the second inner edge 10121 than the first outer edge 10112, and the second outer edge 10122 is farther away from the first inner edge 10111 than the first outer edge 10112; in the first direction, the second inner edge 10121 is farther away from the second outer edge 10122 than the first inner edge 10111, and the second inner edge 10121 is farther away from the first outer edge 10112 than the first inner edge 10111.
[0074] like Figure 4 As shown, the functional module 2 includes at least two functional modules 21. For example, at least one functional module 21 may be a microphone 21a, and one functional module 21 may be a camera module 21b.
[0075] Functional module 2 is located in the second side segment 1012. It can be understood that all functional modules 21 included in functional module 2 are located in the second side segment 1012.
[0076] In the aforementioned bezel component 100, by designing a first side segment 1011 and a second side segment 1012 with different widths along the first direction, and setting the functional module 2 on the second side segment 1012 with a larger width along the first direction, at least two functional modules 21 can be installed on the position of the second side segment 1012, so that the first side segment 1011 does not need to be equipped with functional modules 21. This reduces the width of the first side segment 1011 in the first direction, thereby reducing the width of a portion of the first side segment 101 along the first direction. This can effectively increase the size of the display screen 200 or effectively increase the effective display area of the display screen 200, thereby improving the screen-to-body ratio of the electronic device.
[0077] Therefore, the bezel component 100 provided in this application embodiment can limit its size to meet the requirement of a higher screen ratio while fulfilling its own functions (installing display screen 200 and functional module 2).
[0078] In some embodiments, the length of the first side segment 1011 along the second direction is greater than the length of the second side segment 1012 along the second direction. This can increase the size of the display screen 200 or the effective display area of the display screen 200, thereby improving the screen-to-body ratio of the electronic device.
[0079] In some other embodiments, the length of the first side segment 1011 along the second direction may also be equal to or less than the length of the second side segment 1012 along the second direction.
[0080] In embodiments where there are two first side segments 1011, the lengths of the two first side segments 1011 along the second direction may be equal or unequal. For aesthetic purposes, the lengths of the two first side segments 1011 along the second direction are equal. In this embodiment, both functional modules 21 can be microphones 21a. By having two microphones 21a work together, the problems of high noise levels and unclear audio during calls and recordings encountered with a single microphone can be solved. In other embodiments, there may be at least three microphones 21a, or only one microphone 21a; it is not limited to two.
[0081] To reduce the size of the second side segment 1012, two microphones 21a are used. To reduce the width of the second side segment 1012 along the first direction, the two microphones 21a are distributed along the second direction. To improve the uniformity of the distribution of the microphones 21a, the camera module 21b is located between the two microphones 21a. It can be understood that one microphone 21a, the camera module 21b, and the other microphone 21a are distributed sequentially along the second direction.
[0082] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in an embodiment where the display screen 200 is not a full-screen display, the bezel assembly 100 may further include a front frame 11, which is fixed to the screen bezel 1. Figure 7 As shown, the front frame 11 is used to connect to the periphery of the display screen 200, and the front frame 11 covers the functional module 2.
[0083] It should be noted that, Figure 7 Functional module 2 is not marked in the document. The location of functional module 2 can be found by referring to the location of all functional modules 21.
[0084] In the above embodiment, the screen bezel 1 and the front bezel 11 form a frame assembly. As mentioned above, the functional module 2 is disposed on the second side segment 1012. The thickness L3 of the frame assembly along the Z direction at the first side segment 1011 can be less than the thickness L4 of the frame assembly along the Z direction at the second side segment 1012. The Z direction can be referred to as the third direction. Both the first direction and the second direction are different from the third direction.
[0085] For example, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other; the third direction can be the thickness direction of the assembly. It should be noted that the thickness direction of the display screen 200, the thickness direction of the front frame 11, and the thickness direction of the screen border 1 are all parallel to the third direction.
[0086] It should be noted that the thickness of the frame assembly along the Z-direction at different positions of the first side segment 1011 can be the same or different. For example, the thickness of the frame assembly along the Z-direction at the first position of the first side segment 1011 and the thickness of the frame assembly along the Z-direction at the second position of the first side segment 1011 can be the same or different. Based on this, the thickness L3 of the frame assembly along the Z-direction at the first side segment 1011 refers to the maximum value of the thickness of the frame assembly along the Z-direction at the first side segment 1011.
[0087] Accordingly, the thickness of the frame assembly along the Z-direction at different positions of the second side segment 1012 can be the same or different. For example, the thickness of the frame assembly along the Z-direction at the first position of the second side segment 1012 and the thickness of the frame assembly along the Z-direction at the second position of the second side segment 1012 can be the same or different. Based on this, the thickness L3 of the frame assembly along the Z-direction at the second side segment 1012 refers to the maximum value of the thickness of the frame assembly along the Z-direction at the second side segment 1012.
[0088] In the above embodiments, since the thickness L3 of the frame assembly along the Z direction at the first side segment 1011 can be less than the thickness L4 of the frame assembly along the Z direction at the second side segment 1012, the thickness of the frame assembly 100 at the first side segment 1011 can be reduced, thereby reducing the thickness of some parts of the frame assembly 100, which is beneficial to the thin and light design of electronic devices.
[0089] like Figure 8 As shown, in an embodiment where the functional module 21 is a camera module 21b, the frame assembly 100 further includes a connector 21c, through which the camera module 21b is electrically connected to the flexible electrical connector 5.
[0090] It should be noted that the flexible electrical connector 5 can be an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) or an FFC (Flexible Flat Cable), and the flexible electrical connector 5 can be electrically connected to the motherboard of the electronic device.
[0091] The type of connector 21c is selected according to the actual situation, and this application embodiment does not limit it.
[0092] In the above embodiment, connector 21c is disposed on the second side segment 1012. Connector 21c is located on one side of camera module 21b along the first direction, and connector 21c is closer to display screen 200 or the effective display area of display screen 200 than camera module 21b. It can be understood that connector 21c is closer to the second inner edge 10121 of the second side segment 1012 than camera module 21b.
[0093] In the above embodiment, the connector 21c is located on one side of the camera module 21b along the first direction. In this way, the space of the second side segment 1012 in the first direction can be fully utilized, and the space of the second side segment 1012 in the second direction can be saved. This makes it easier for the microphone 21a to be set in the second side segment 1012, and also helps to reduce the length of the second side segment 1012 along the second direction.
[0094] For example, the connector 21c is located on one side of the camera module 21b along the first direction, which can make the distance between the two microphones 21a in the second direction (including the length of the two microphones 21a along the second direction) less than 100mm. For example, the distance between the two microphones 21a in the second direction is 88mm.
[0095] In some other embodiments, connector 21c may be arranged on one side of camera module 21b along the second direction. In this embodiment, the distance between the two microphones 21a in the second direction (including the length of the two microphones 21a along the second direction) can be greater than 100mm, for example, the distance between the two microphones 21a in the second direction is 118mm.
[0096] In this embodiment, other electronic components may also be provided on the side of the camera module 21b that is close to the display screen 200 or the effective display area of the display screen 200 along the first direction, and are not limited to the connector 21c.
[0097] In one embodiment where functional module 21 is a camera module 21b and at least one functional module 21 is a microphone 21a, one functional module 21 is a camera physical blocker 21d, and / or one functional module 21 is a time-of-flight sensor 21e, and / or one functional module 21 is an ambient light sensor 21f.
[0098] It should be noted that the camera physical blocker 21d can be referred to as the shutter. The time-of-flight sensor can be referred to as a TOF (Time of Flight) sensor, and the ambient light sensor 21f can be referred to as an ALS (Ambient Light Sensor) sensor. Both the time-of-flight sensor 21e and the ambient light sensor 21f can be electrically connected to the flexible electrical connector 5 mentioned above.
[0099] For example, functional module 2 includes a microphone 21a, a camera module 21b, and also includes one of a camera physical blocker 21d, a time-of-flight sensor 21e, and an ambient light sensor 21f.
[0100] For example, functional module 2 includes a microphone 21a, a camera module 21b, and also includes two of the following: a camera physical blocker 21d, a time-of-flight sensor 21e, and an ambient light sensor 21f.
[0101] For example, functional module 2 includes a microphone 21a, a camera module 21b, a camera physical blocker 21d, a time-of-flight sensor 21e, and an ambient light sensor 21f.
[0102] In some other embodiments, the functional module 2 may also include more electronic components, which can improve the integration of the second segment 1012 and increase the functionality of the electronic device.
[0103] In the second side segment 1012, the distribution structure of the microphone 21a, camera module 21b, camera physical blocker 21d, time-of-flight sensor 21e, and ambient light sensor 21f is designed according to the actual situation. In the embodiment where the frame assembly 100 includes the camera physical blocker 21d, time-of-flight sensor 21e, and ambient light sensor 21f, there can be two microphones 21a. One microphone 21a, camera physical blocker 21d, camera module 21b, time-of-flight sensor 21e, ambient light sensor 21f, and the other microphone 21a are distributed along the second direction; or, one microphone, camera physical blocker, camera module, ambient light sensor, time-of-flight sensor, and the other microphone are distributed along the second direction.
[0104] In the above embodiment, when the connector 21c is located on one side of the camera module 21b along the first direction, the maximum length of the microphone 21a along the second direction can be 7.4mm, the maximum length of the camera physical blocker 21d along the second direction can be 13.8mm, and the maximum length of the camera module 21b along the second direction can be 38.3mm, so that the distance between the two microphones 21a in the second direction (including the length of the two microphones 21a along the second direction) is less than 100mm.
[0105] In other embodiments, the functional module 2 may also include other electronic components such as other sensors, and is not limited to microphone 21a, camera module 21b, camera physical blocker 21d, time-of-flight sensor 21e, and ambient light sensor 21f.
[0106] like Figure 9As shown, in an embodiment where at least one functional module 21 is a microphone 21a, a microphone opening 10 is provided on one side of the second side segment 1012 along the first direction, and a microphone connection end 501 of a flexible electrical connector 5 is electrically connected to the side of the microphone 21a away from the microphone opening 10 along the first direction. Thus, the microphone opening 10 and the microphone connection end 501 are distributed on both sides of the microphone 21a along the first direction, with the front of the microphone 21a facing the microphone opening 10 and the back of the microphone 21a facing the microphone connection end 501. This reduces the space occupied by the microphone 21a in the second direction, facilitates the installation of the microphone 21a on the second side segment 1012, and also facilitates shortening the length of the second side segment 1012 in the second direction.
[0107] In the above embodiments, the microphone opening 10 and the sound pickup hole of the microphone 21a are distributed along the first direction and are connected. This shortens the acoustic path and improves the performance of the microphone 21a. For example, as shown... Figure 7 As shown, the distance L5 between the inlet end of the microphone opening 10 and the inlet end of the pickup hole of the microphone 21a in the first direction can be less than 2.85mm. For example, the distance L5 between the inlet end of the microphone opening 10 and the inlet end of the pickup hole of the microphone 21a in the first direction can be 2.35mm.
[0108] Due to the airtightness requirements of microphone 21a, microphone 21a is sealed to the second side segment 1012. For example... Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the microphone 21a is sealed to the second side segment 1012 via a sealing member 4, the sealing member 4 having a through hole 401 communicating with the microphone opening 10. Thus, the sealing member 4 can be deformed, and the sealing member 4 and the second side segment 1012 can be press-fitted to seal the microphone 21a to the second side segment 1012.
[0109] The seal 4 can be a rubber gasket, silicone gasket, or other elastic gasket. The hardness of the seal 4 is selected according to the actual situation, and this application embodiment does not limit it.
[0110] To simplify installation, the seal 4 is provided with a receiving hole 402, which communicates with the through hole 401, and the microphone 21a is located inside the receiving hole 402. In this way, the receiving hole 402 can position the microphone 21a, thereby facilitating the installation of the microphone 21a.
[0111] The receiving hole 402 and the microphone 21a can be interference-fitted or transition-fitted, and this application embodiment does not limit this.
[0112] Based on the arrangement of the microphone 21a, a microphone 21a with a higher signal-to-noise ratio can be selected. For example, the signal-to-noise ratio of the microphone can be 68 dB or other values. This application embodiment does not limit this.
[0113] Based on the arrangement of microphone 21a, a smaller microphone 21a can be selected. For example, the length of microphone 21a along the second direction can be 4.0 mm, the length of microphone 21a along the first direction can be 1.1 mm, and the length of microphone 21a along the third direction can be 2.0 mm; or, the lengths of microphone 21a along the first, second, and third directions can be other values, which are not limited in this embodiment.
[0114] In some embodiments, microphone 21a may be glued to the second side segment 1012. In embodiments where the frame assembly 100 includes a seal 4, microphone 21a, seal 4, and the second side segment 1012 are glued together in sequence.
[0115] like Figure 9 As shown, in some other embodiments, the frame assembly 100 further includes a mounting member 9, which is fixed to the second side segment 1012 and pressed against the microphone connection end 501. The microphone 21a is pressed against the second side segment 1012 via the mounting member 9. It is understood that the mounting member 9 is located on the side of the microphone 21a away from the microphone opening 10 along a first direction. This embodiment can be implemented in conjunction with embodiments where the frame assembly 100 includes a sealing member 4.
[0116] In the above embodiment, the microphone 21a is pressed onto the second side segment 1012 by the mounting member 9. The microphone 21a can be installed by fixing the mounting member 9 and can be disassembled by removing the mounting member 9, which is beneficial for the installation and removal of the microphone 21a. Moreover, the microphone 21a being pressed onto the second side segment 1012 by the mounting member 9 simplifies the installation of the microphone 21a and also facilitates the sealed connection between the microphone 21a and the second side segment 1012, which is beneficial for the airtight design of the microphone 21a.
[0117] Mounting component 9 is detachably fixed to the second side segment 1012, which simplifies the assembly and disassembly of mounting component 9, thereby simplifying the assembly and disassembly of microphone 21a and facilitating the maintenance of microphone 21a. Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the second side segment 1012 may be provided with a mounting platform 10123, and the mounting component 9 is fixed to the mounting platform 10123 by a threaded fastener 6. It is understood that the mounting platform 10123 is provided with a threaded hole, which engages with the threaded fastener 6. Thus, the mounting platform 10123 provides a basis for the threaded hole, allowing the mounting component 9 to be fixed by the threaded fastener 6. Furthermore, by removing and installing the threaded fastener 6, the mounting component 9 can be disassembled and installed, which not only ensures the stability of the mounting component 9 and the microphone 21a but also facilitates the disassembly of the mounting component 9 and the microphone 21a.
[0118] In some other embodiments, the mounting member 9 can also be snapped onto the second side segment 1012, thereby achieving the detachable fixation of the mounting member 9.
[0119] In some other embodiments, the connection between the mounting element 9 and the second side segment 1012 may also be non-removable.
[0120] The mounting component 9 and the microphone connection end 501 can abut or be glued together. To improve the crimping reliability of the mounting component 9, the mounting component 9 can be snapped onto the microphone connection end 501. In some embodiments, the mounting component 9 is provided with a snap-fit 9031, and the microphone connection end 501 is provided with a clearance opening 5011. The snap-fit 9031 snaps onto the microphone connection end 5011 at the clearance opening 5011. In this way, the clearance opening 5011 can accommodate the snap-fit 9031, thereby reducing the space occupied by the entire snap-fit structure.
[0121] For example, the microphone connection end 501 is provided with clearance openings 5011 on both sides along the second direction, and the buckles 9031 are distributed on both sides of the mounting part 9 along the second direction. In this way, the space occupied by the entire snap-fit structure in the second direction can be reduced, the length of the second side segment 1012 along the second direction can be shortened, and the length of the first side segment 1011 along the second direction can be increased, which is beneficial to improving the screen ratio of the electronic device.
[0122] In some other embodiments, the microphone connection end 501 may not have a clearance opening 5011.
[0123] In an embodiment where the mounting part 9 is snapped onto the microphone connection end 501, the mounting part 9 can also be glued to the microphone connection end 501.
[0124] like Figure 9 As shown, to facilitate the fixed connection of the mounting component 9 and the second side segment 1012, one of the second side segment 1012 and the mounting component 9 is provided with a positioning hole 7, and the other is provided with a positioning post 8 that mates with the positioning hole 7. The microphone connection end 501 is provided with a clearance hole for the positioning post 8 to pass through (not shown in the figure). It should be noted that the positioning post 8 and the positioning hole 7 are positioned and mated in a plane parallel to the first direction and the second direction.
[0125] For example, the mounting component 9 is provided with a positioning hole 7, and the second side segment 1012 is provided with a positioning post 8; or, the mounting component 9 is provided with a positioning post 8, and the second side segment 1012 is provided with a positioning hole 7.
[0126] like Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting component 9 includes: a connecting plate 901, a first pressure plate 902, and a second pressure plate 903. The connecting plate 901 is fixed to the second side segment 1012, the first pressure plate 902 is connected to the connecting plate 901, and the second pressure plate 903 is connected to the first pressure plate 902. The first pressure plate 902 is parallel to both the second and first directions, and the second pressure plate 903 is perpendicular to the first direction. Both the first and second pressure plates 902 and 903 are pressed onto the microphone connection end 501. It is understood that the microphone connection end 501 includes a portion pressed by the first pressure plate 902 and a portion pressed by the second pressure plate 903.
[0127] In the above embodiment, by pressing the first pressure plate 902 and the second pressure plate 903 onto the microphone connection end 501, the pressing area between the mounting member 9 and the microphone connection end 501 can be increased, thereby increasing the clamping force of the mounting member 9 on the microphone connection end 501 and thus increasing the clamping force of the mounting member 9 on the microphone 21a; moreover, it is also convenient for the mounting member 9 to be fixed to the second side segment 1012 through its own connecting plate 901.
[0128] In the above embodiments, the connecting plate 901 may be L-shaped or other shapes, and this application embodiment does not limit this.
[0129] In an embodiment where the mounting component 9 is provided with a positioning hole 7, the positioning hole 7 is located on the first pressure plate 902; in an embodiment where the mounting component 9 is provided with a positioning post 8, the positioning post 8 is located on the first pressure plate 902; in an embodiment where the mounting component 9 is provided with a buckle 9031, the buckle 9031 is located on the second pressure plate 903.
[0130] In the above embodiments, the mounting component 9 can be a one-piece structure. It is understood that the connecting plate 901, the first pressure plate 902, and the second pressure plate 903 are a one-piece structure. Alternatively, the mounting component 9 can also be a separate structure.
[0131] In some other embodiments, the mounting element 9 may include a connecting plate 901 and a second pressure plate 903 but may not include a first pressure plate 902, and is not limited to the embodiments described above.
