[0028] Various embodiments and features of this application are described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] It should be understood that various modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein. Therefore, the above description should not be considered as limiting, but merely as an example of embodiments. Other modifications within the scope and spirit of this application will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

[0030] The accompanying drawings, which are included in and form part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the present application and, together with the general description of the present application given above and the detailed description of the embodiments given below, serve to explain the principles of the present application.

[0031] These and other features of this application will become apparent from the following description of preferred forms of embodiments given as non-limiting examples, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] It should also be understood that although this application has been described with reference to some specific examples, those skilled in the art can certainly implement many other equivalent forms of this application.

[0033] The above and other aspects, features and advantages of this application will become more apparent when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and in view of the following detailed description.

[0034] Specific embodiments of this application are described thereafter with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, it should be understood that the claimed embodiments are merely examples of this application, which can be implemented in various ways. Well-known and / or repeated functions and structures are not described in detail to avoid unnecessary or redundant details that could obscure the application. Therefore, the specific structural and functional details claimed herein are not intended to be limiting, but merely serve as the basis and representative basis for the claims to teach those skilled in the art to use this application in a variety of substantially any suitable detailed structures.

[0035] This specification may use the phrases “in one embodiment,” “in another embodiment,” “in yet another embodiment,” or “in other embodiments,” all of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to this application.

[0036] To address the problems in the background art, this application provides a display terminal for an electronic device, which may be a mobile electronic device such as a laptop computer. This application will use a laptop computer as an example for explanation.

[0037] As described in the background section, while external monitors can expand the work area, they significantly sacrifice the portability advantages of laptops. Although vertically folding screens or other display designs can achieve vertical screen expansion, this vertical expansion presents two user experience drawbacks: firstly, there is an ergonomic conflict, as the screen height exceeds the natural line of sight, leading to neck fatigue; for example, when the screen's center line is 15° above eye level, cervical spine pressure increases by approximately 40%. Secondly, interaction efficiency is lower; the vertical spatial division does not conform to the operational habits of horizontal workflows, making it only suitable for vertical content consumption (code writing, long document reading) and unable to meet the processing needs of horizontally intensive tasks such as design, editing, and watching movies.

[0038] Unlike existing solutions, this application employs a horizontally extended display screen, ensuring that the extended screen remains horizontally aligned with the user. Users don't need to look up at the screen, conforming to their horizontal visual habits. Furthermore, the horizontal widescreen design provides an immersive viewing experience, enabling natural interaction such as horizontal window dragging and document comparison, meeting the needs and requirements of horizontal workflows. This application's display solution addresses both the portability issues of external monitors for electronic devices and avoids the interactive shortcomings of vertically extended screens, offering a superior user experience for multi-window operation and movie viewing, providing a more efficient solution for mobile office scenarios.

[0039] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The display terminal of this application may include a housing 1, a frame, and a flexible display screen 5. The frame is located on the outer periphery of the housing 1 and includes a fixed frame 2 and a movable frame. The fixed frame 2 is fixed to the housing 1. Here, the housing 1 can be understood as the outer protective housing 1 of the display screen, specifically the outer surface housing 1 of the top cover of the laptop when closed (which can be simply referred to as the A-shell), used to protect the display screen and support other structural components. The frame can be understood as the front frame housing 1 of the laptop display screen (which can be simply referred to as the B-shell), i.e., the border portion of the screen edge, used to fix components such as cameras and sensors, and is positioned around the visible area of ​​the display screen to define the visible area. The flexible display screen 5 is a display screen capable of bending, folding, and rolling while maintaining its display function.

[0040] The display end also includes a driving component and a motion component. The motion component is connected to the flexible display screen 5 and the movable frame respectively. The driving component and the motion component can be set in the space formed by the housing 1, the frame and the flexible display screen 5.

[0041] The driving component is connected to the motion component and can provide driving force. This driving force can cause the motion component to perform corresponding actions, thereby moving the movable frame from a first position to a second position and changing the flexible display screen 5 from a first horizontal display area to a second horizontal display area, where the second horizontal display area is different from the first horizontal display area. For example, this driving force can drive the motion component to move laterally, causing the movable frame connected to it to move away from or towards the fixed frame 2, and causing the flexible display screen 5 to expand or contract laterally. When the movable frame moves laterally away from the fixed frame 2 and from the first position to the second position, the flexible display screen 5 expands laterally, and its display area can change from the first horizontal display area to the second horizontal display area; when the movable frame moves laterally towards the fixed frame 2 and from the second position to the first position, the flexible display screen 5 contracts laterally, and its display area can change from the second horizontal display area to the third horizontal display area.

[0042] It should be noted that "horizontal" refers to the left-right direction of the laptop's display, while "vertical" refers to the up-down direction. When the laptop's display is not adjusted horizontally (i.e., in its initial state), the horizontal distance of the flexible display 5 is greater than its vertical distance, resulting in a rectangular shape with a large horizontal display area. Even when the horizontal display area of ​​the flexible display 5 is adjusted (flexible display 5 extended), the horizontal distance of the flexible display 5 is still greater than its vertical distance, and it still appears as a rectangle with a large horizontal display area, but the horizontal distance is even greater, resulting in a larger display area.

[0043] Of course, as needed, the driving component can also move the movable frame from the first position to the third position via the motion component. The third position is different from the second position. At the same time, the flexible display screen 5 can change from the first horizontal display area to the third horizontal display area. The movable frame can also return from the third position to the first position under the action of the motion component, and the flexible display screen 5 can change from the third horizontal display area to the first horizontal display area.

[0044] That is, the lateral movement distance of the active frame and the lateral display area of ​​the flexible display screen 5 can be achieved as needed by driving the motion components through the driving components.

[0045] The start / stop and specific actions of the driving component are controlled by a control button electrically connected to it. For example, when a large horizontal display area is required for the flexible display screen 5, this can be achieved by continuously pressing the corresponding expansion control button; once the horizontal display area of ​​the flexible display screen 5 meets the requirements, the expansion control button can be released. Of course, other control methods can also be used to control the driving component; this is merely an example and does not constitute a limitation on the scope of the claims.

[0046] In the absence of an external monitor, the display area of ​​the display terminal is adjusted horizontally, which better suits the visual habits of users when using the display terminal and solves the problem of neck fatigue caused by vertically extended displays. The horizontal widescreen provides a wider field of view, meets the user's requirements for horizontal workflow, and improves the user experience.

[0047] In some embodiments, the drive component includes a first drive component, the motion component includes a first motion component, the first motion component includes a first pulley assembly, a traction rope, and a first moving member 6, wherein the first moving member 6 is fixedly connected to the movable frame.

[0048] The first drive assembly is connected to the first pulley assembly via a traction rope. The first pulley assembly is connected to the first moving member 6. When the first drive assembly performs the first rotation action, it transmits the driving force to the first moving member 6 and the movable frame through the traction rope and the first pulley assembly, so that the movable frame moves from the first position to the second position.

[0049] For example, the frame may have a movable frame, which is set on the left or right side of the fixed frame 2. When the movable frame is set on the left side of the fixed frame 2, the movable frame can move horizontally left and right on the left side of the fixed frame 2; when the movable frame is set on the right side of the fixed frame 2, the movable frame can move horizontally left and right on the right side of the fixed frame 2.

[0050] This embodiment of the application uses the example of a movable frame located on the left side of a fixed frame 2. A first driving component can be connected to a traction rope, and through the traction rope, to a first pulley assembly. A fixed pulley 9 in the first pulley assembly can be fixed to the housing 1, and a movable pulley 10 in the first pulley assembly can be fixed to a first moving component 6, and the movable pulley 10 can rotate. The first driving assembly can, but is not limited to, use a micro-drive motor 11. When the user requires a larger horizontal display area, the micro-drive motor 11 can perform a first rotational action (e.g., forward rotation). The micro-drive motor 11 can transmit the driving force to the first pulley assembly through the winding action of the traction rope. The movable pulley 10 in the first pulley assembly can then move away from the fixed frame 2 (to the left). The leftward movement of the movable pulley 10 can drive the first moving component 6 to move synchronously to the left. The movable frame, fixedly connected to the first moving component 6, moves to the left under the drive of the first moving component 6, causing the movable frame to move from a first position to a second position. The flexible display screen 5 expands, revealing previously hidden portions and transforming its horizontal display area from a first horizontal area to a second horizontal area, thus increasing the overall horizontal display area. This expands the display range for the same object, allowing users to perform horizontal workflows more smoothly, conveniently, and efficiently. For example, users can perform horizontal multi-window operations, enhancing the viewing experience. Since the vertical display area remains unchanged, users do not need to look up at the screen during horizontal workflow processing, contributing to neck protection.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first drive assembly includes a drive motor 11 and a drive shaft connected to the drive motor 11.

[0052] The first pulley assembly includes at least two fixed pulleys 9 and one movable pulley 10, and the traction rope includes a first traction rope 7 and a second traction rope 8.

[0053] One end of the first traction rope 7 of the drive motor 11 is wound around one end of the drive shaft in a first direction, and the other end of the first traction rope 7 passes over the fixed pulley 9 and the movable pulley 10 and is then wound around the other end of the drive shaft in the first direction. The movable pulley 10 is located between two adjacent fixed pulleys 9, and one end of the second traction rope 8 is wound around the middle of the drive shaft in a second direction. The first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0054] For example, the drive motor 11 can be connected to a drive shaft, one end of which can be connected to the output end of the drive motor 11, and the other end of the drive shaft is fixed to the housing 1 by a bearing. The drive shaft can be a round shaft. Referring to Figure 4, the drive shaft has a first drive part 121 and a second drive part 122, with the second drive part 122 located between two adjacent first drive parts 121. The outer diameter of the first drive part 121 is twice the outer diameter of the second drive part 122. Taking the first pulley assembly including two fixed pulleys 9 and one movable pulley 10 as an example, one end of the first traction rope 7 is wound along a first direction around one of the first drive parts 121 at one end of the drive shaft. Then, the traction rope passes around the fixed pulley 9, then around the movable pulley 10, then around another fixed pulley 9, and then wound around another first drive part 121 at the other end of the drive shaft. One end of the second traction rope 8 is wound along a second direction around the second drive part 122, and the other end of the second traction rope 8 is connected to the movable pulley 10.

[0055] For example, taking the winding / release speed of the first moving component and the first traction rope 7 as 2V, due to the motion nature of the moving and fixed pulleys 9, the moving speed of the moving pulley 10 is half the speed of the first traction rope 7, the moving speed of the moving pulley 10 and the first moving member 6 is V, and the winding / release speed of the second traction rope 8 is V, so that each traction rope can always be kept in a taut state, preventing the traction rope from coming off the moving pulley 10 and the fixed pulley 9, and ensuring precise driving of the first moving member 6.

[0056] Fixed pulley 9 is fixed to housing 1, and movable pulley 10 is fixed to first moving member 6. When drive motor 11 rotates forward, first traction rope 7 is wound around drive shaft, causing movable pulley 10, first moving member 6, movable frame to move laterally, and second traction rope 8 to be released from upper part of drive shaft. Flexible display screen 5 changes from first horizontal screen display area to second horizontal screen display area, wherein the second horizontal screen display area is larger than the first horizontal screen display area. For example, continuing with the above embodiment, when drive motor 11 rotates forward, causing drive shaft to rotate forward, first traction rope 7 is wound more around first drive part 121, pulling movable pulley 10, first moving member 6 connected to movable pulley 10, and movable frame connected to first moving member 6 to move away from fixed frame 2, and flexible display screen 5 expands. At the same time, movable pulley 10 also pulls second traction rope 8 to be released from second drive part 122. Here, since the outer diameter of first drive part 121 is twice the outer diameter of second drive part 122, the winding and releasing speed of first traction rope 7 is twice the releasing and winding speed of second traction rope 8. When the drive motor 11 reverses, the second traction rope 8 is wound more around the second drive unit 122 to pull the movable pulley 10, the first moving member 6 and the movable frame toward the fixed frame 2, and the flexible display screen 5 retracts.

[0057] Of course, it is understood that the drive motor 11 and drive shaft, as well as the first pulley assembly, can adopt other structures. For example, the drive motor 11 can be connected to two drive shafts, and the first pulley assembly can include three fixed pulleys 9 and two movable pulleys 10. This is merely an example and does not constitute a limitation on the scope of the claims.

[0058] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 6 , Figure 7 The movable frame includes a first movable frame 3 and a second movable frame 4 located on both sides of the fixed frame 2. The first movable frame 3 and the second movable frame 4 can move synchronously under the drive of the motion component, and the flexible display screen 5 can be horizontally expanded to both sides or horizontally retracted to the middle.

[0059] For example, the fixed frame 2 can be fixed at the middle position of the housing 1 in the horizontal direction, and the first movable frame 3 and the second movable frame 4 can be symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the fixed frame 2. Driven by the motion component, the first movable frame 3 and the second movable frame 4 can move synchronously. For example, the motion component can drive the first movable frame 3 to move to the left relative to the fixed frame 2, while simultaneously... Figure 8 The second movable frame 4 also moves to the right relative to the fixed frame 2 under the action of the moving component. Combined with... Figure 9 As the first movable frame 3 and the second movable frame 4 move to the left and right respectively, the flexible display screen 5 also expands, increasing its horizontal display area. The first movable frame 3 and the second movable frame 4 can move at the same speed to ensure that the expansion area of ​​the flexible display screen 5 to the left and right is the same. This avoids the user turning their head towards one end of the flexible display screen 5 (the end with the larger expansion distance) due to different expansion distances at the left and right ends of the flexible display screen 5, thus improving the user experience.

[0060] In conjunction with the embodiments of the first movable frame 3 and the second movable frame 4 described above, the drive assembly may include a second drive assembly in addition to the first drive assembly; the motion assembly may include a second motion assembly in addition to the first motion assembly. The second motion assembly may include a second pulley assembly, a third traction rope 13, a fourth traction rope 14, and a second moving member 15.

[0061] The fixed frame 2 is fixed in the middle of the horizontal direction of the housing 1. The first driving component and the first motion component cooperate to drive the horizontal movement of the first movable frame 3, and the second driving component and the second motion component cooperate to drive the horizontal movement of the second movable frame 4. This allows the first movable frame 3 and the second movable frame 4 to move to the left and right respectively, thereby expanding the flexible display screen 5 to the left and right sides. Of course, the first driving component and the first motion component can also reset the first movable frame 3, and the second driving component and the second motion component can also reset the second movable frame 4.

[0062] The second drive assembly and the first drive assembly can be arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides of the fixed frame 2, and the second motion assembly and the first motion assembly can also be arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides of the fixed frame 2. The first drive assembly and the second drive assembly can be located at the middle position of the inner surface. The first drive assembly and the second drive assembly can be a combination of a small motor 11 and a gearbox.

[0063] Combined with the diagram Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first motion assembly includes three fixed pulleys 9 and two movable pulleys 10, with the movable pulleys 10 located between two adjacent fixed pulleys 9. The drive motor 11 of the first drive assembly includes a first drive shaft and a second drive shaft, which are coaxially arranged to achieve synchronous movement on both sides. The first drive shaft includes a first drive section 121 and a second drive section 122. The second drive shaft includes another first drive section 121 and another second drive section 122. The diameter of the first drive section 121 is twice that of the second drive section 122. One end of the first traction rope 7 is wound around the first drive section 121 of the first drive shaft, and the other end of the first traction rope 7 sequentially passes through fixed pulleys 9, movable pulleys 10, fixed pulleys 9, movable pulleys 10, and fixed pulleys 9 again before being wound around the first drive section 121 of the second drive shaft. One end of one of the second traction ropes 8 is wound around the second drive section 122 of the first drive shaft, and the other end is connected to one of the movable pulleys 10 in the first pulley assembly; one end of the other second traction rope 8 is wound around the second drive section 122 of the second drive shaft, and the other end is connected to another movable pulley 10 in the first pulley assembly. The winding direction of the first traction rope 7 is opposite to the winding direction of the second traction rope 8. Corresponding to the first motion assembly, the structural components of the second motion assembly are symmetrically arranged with their corresponding structural components of the first motion assembly, which will not be described in detail here.

[0064] It should be noted that the first moving member 6 and the second moving member 15 can adopt a plate-like structure, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 7 A clearance groove 16 can be provided on the first moving member 6 and the second moving member 15 at the position corresponding to the fixed pulley 9. The clearance groove 16 can be configured as an elongated hole. The length direction of the clearance groove 16 corresponds to the moving direction of the first moving member 6 and the second moving member 15. An upward-facing column can be provided on the inner surface of the housing 1. The column can pass through the clearance groove 16 and connect to the fixed pulley 9 to avoid the fixed pulley 9 when the first moving member 6 and the second moving member 15 move laterally. The fixed pulley 9 can be fixed to the column with screws and remain stationary, while the moving pulley 10 moves in the same direction as the first moving member 6 and the second moving member 15.

[0065] The clearance groove 16 can also serve as a limit to prevent the moving parts (first moving part 6 and second moving part 15) from overextending due to human error or other factors.

[0066] The traction rope can be, but is not limited to, fiber rope. The fiber rope can be made of polyethylene fiber filaments, which are 15 times stronger than steel wire ropes, while weighing only about 1 / 5 of steel wire ropes.

[0067] This embodiment of the application achieves the horizontal expansion function of a laptop screen through a three-stage transmission system design consisting of a drive motor 11, a traction rope, and nine moving and fixed pulleys. When the flexible display screen 5 unfolds to both sides, the effective display area can be significantly increased. This design breaks through the display limitations of multi-tasking operations in mobile office scenarios. The three-section frame design maintains the simplicity of the overall appearance after expansion, while the exposed moving parts on both sides of the shell 1 not only complete the functional expansion, but also, from a user experience perspective, this design conforms to the multi-window operation habits of mainstream users. While maintaining the portability of the device, it provides a more efficient visual work area for professional scenarios such as document editing, multi-window switching, and immersive viewing.

[0068] Furthermore, the display device proposed in this application represents an innovation in both mechanical engineering and industrial design. The coaxial dual-output motor 11-drive system, combined with high-strength fiber rope transmission, ensures precise screen expansion control while maintaining a lightweight structure. The design philosophy of transforming functional moving parts into a brand display interface redefines the interaction logic of laptop computers. Currently, no similar solution combines practicality and aesthetic value.

[0069] In some embodiments, cut Figure 6 and Figure 9 A scroll 17 is provided on the first moving member 6. One end of the flexible display screen 5 is attached to and passes around the scroll 17 before connecting to the first moving member 6. Both ends of the scroll 17 are rotatably mounted on the first moving member 6. For example, the scroll 17 can be connected to the first moving member 6 via bearings. The scroll 17 is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the first moving member 6. Taking the first movable frame 3 as being located on the left side of the fixed frame 2 as an example, the left end of the flexible display screen 5 is attached to the scroll 17, passes around the scroll 17, and then folds and extends towards the center of the housing 1 before being fixed to the first moving member 6. This folded and extended part is hidden. As the first moving member 6 moves to the left, this hidden part of the flexible display screen 5 is exposed, thereby expanding the horizontal display area of ​​the exposed flexible display screen 5.

[0070] In some embodiments, the driving component can also move the motion component to reset the active frame from the second position to the first position.

[0071] The display also includes a reset component, which is disposed on the housing 1 and connected to the motion component. When the movable frame is reset from the second position to the first position, the reset component applies a reset force to the motion component.

[0072] The reset component can be disposed on the inner surface of the housing 1. When the display end includes only one movable frame, the reset component can be connected to the first moving member 6 in the above embodiment. During the process of the movable frame being reset from the second position to the first position, the reset component provides a reset force to the first moving member 6, causing the first moving member 6 to move towards the fixed frame 2. The reset component and the drive component work together to enable the first moving member 6 and the movable frame to be reset more smoothly, so that the flexible display screen 5 can be smoothly contracted and damage to the flexible display screen 5 can be avoided.

[0073] Of course, it is understandable that when the display includes two movable frames, the reset component can also be connected to the second moving component 15 and provide a reset force for both movable frames.

[0074] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 6 The reset assembly includes a spiral spring 18 and a reset rope 19. One end of the reset rope 19 is connected to the spiral spring 18, and the other end is connected to the first moving member 6. The spiral spring 18 is disposed on the inner surface of the housing 1. When the display end includes only one movable frame, the spiral spring 18 can be connected to the first moving member 6 of the first motion assembly via the reset rope 19. When the display end includes two movable frames, the spiral spring 18 can be a double spiral spring 18, and can be connected to the first moving member 6 of the first motion assembly and the second moving member 15 of the second motion assembly via two reset ropes 19, respectively.

[0075] The display end may also include two reset components. These reset components provide reset forces to the first moving member 6 and the second moving member 15 from different positions, allowing for smoother reset of the first moving member 6 and the second moving member 15. The double spiral spring 18 can extend and retract to the left and right sides, and can always provide an inward pulling force F to the first moving member 6 and the second moving member 15. When the moving members (first moving member 6 and second moving member 15) begin to retract inward at a speed V, the flexible display screen 5 will retract inward on the scroll 17 at a speed of 2V, keeping the flexible display screen 5 always taut and flat, preventing bulging and inability to retract.

[0076] In some embodiments, a limiting stage 20 is provided on a portion of the inner circumferential surface of the housing 1, and the outer edge of the first moving member 6 is located between the limiting stage 20 and the inner surface of the housing 1, so as to guide the lateral movement of the first moving member 6 and limit the first moving member 6 in a direction perpendicular to the flexible display screen 5. Figure 5A limiting platform 20 (similar to an eaves structure) is provided on the side wall of the housing 1. Several raised ribs 21 can also be provided on the inner surface of the housing 1. Both can not only restrict the movement of the moving part in the Z direction, but also play a certain guiding role and maintain the stability of the moving part. Teflon or other auxiliary materials can be applied to the positions where the moving part and the housing 1 have relative movement, which can lubricate and avoid abnormal noise from metal friction.

[0077] In some embodiments, the housing 1 is further provided with rollers 22, and the outer peripheral surface of the first moving member 6 contacts the rollers 22. When the first moving member 6 moves laterally, the rollers 22 rotate to keep the first moving member 6 stable. The moving member and the housing 1 can be connected by the rollers 22 on the housing 1. Two or more rollers 22 can be provided on the same side wall of the housing 1. Whether the moving member extends or retracts, the rollers 22 can keep the moving member relatively stable and prevent wobbling. The rollers 22 can also restrict the movement of the moving member in the Y and Z directions, while allowing the moving member to slide in the X direction (lateral direction).

[0078] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 9 The display end also includes a support plate 23, which can be fixed to the frame. The support plate 23 is parallel to the display portion of the flexible display screen 5 and supports part of the flexible display screen 5. After being folded from the roll 17, the flexible display screen 5 can be hidden under the support plate 23, that is, hidden in the space between the support plate 23 and the inner surface of the housing 1. The support plate 23 can be fixed to the housing 1 by screws, but is not limited to this. The support plate 23 also provides support for the flexible display screen 5, preventing the flexible display screen 5 from concave towards the inner surface of the housing 1.

[0079] This application also provides an electronic device, including a system terminal and a display terminal as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the display terminal is rotatably connected to the system terminal. The electronic device may be, but is not limited to, a laptop computer.

[0080] The foregoing has described in detail several embodiments of this application, but this application is not limited to these specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various variations and modifications based on the concept of this application, and all such variations and modifications should fall within the scope of protection claimed in this application.
