[0044] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0045] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The term "multiple" refers to two or more unless otherwise expressly defined. Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the embodiments of this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art. To make the technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] In related technologies, electronic devices are equipped with a flash unit for supplemental lighting during photography. The flash unit can be located on the back of the electronic device (rear flash) or on the front (front flash). In some cases, users want the electronic device to function as a remote control, requiring an infrared light emitter. However, placing the infrared light emitter on the frame of the electronic device presents placement difficulties because the frame is often already occupied by antennas. Furthermore, placing the infrared light emitter on the frame disrupts the uniformity of the electronic device's appearance.

[0047] An exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides an electronic device, such as... Figure 1As shown, the electronic device includes: a housing 10, a lamp board 20, a light-emitting module 30, and a protective cover 40. The housing 10 is provided with a light-transmitting hole 101. The lamp board 20 is located on one side of the housing 10. The light-emitting module 30 is located on the side of the lamp board 20 close to the housing 10. The light-emitting module 30 includes a first light-emitting element 31 and a second light-emitting element 32. The first light-emitting element 31 is used to emit visible light, and the second light-emitting element 32 is used to emit infrared light. The protective cover 40 is located on the side of the light-emitting module 30 away from the lamp board 20, and the protective cover 40 is at least partially located in the light-transmitting hole 101. The protective cover 40 is able to transmit at least visible light and infrared light.

[0048] The electronic device provided in this embodiment integrates a first light-emitting element 31 that emits visible light and a second light-emitting element 32 that emits infrared light on a lamp board 20, and transmits the light emitted by the first light-emitting element 31 and the second light-emitting element 32 to a light-transmitting hole 101 on the housing 10 through a protective cover 40. The emission of visible light and infrared light is achieved through a light-transmitting hole 101, which improves the integration of components in the electronic device and at least to some extent solves the problem of difficult component placement in electronic devices.

[0049] The electronic device provided in this disclosure will be described below through several embodiments:

[0050] The housing 10 is provided with a light-transmitting hole 101, which allows light emitted by the light-emitting module 30 inside the electronic device to pass through the housing 10, and also allows ambient light from the outside to enter the electronic device through the light-transmitting hole 101. For example, the light-transmitting hole 101 can be a round hole, a square hole, or a polygonal hole. When the housing 10 is made of an opaque material, the light-transmitting hole 101 can penetrate the housing 10. When the housing 10 is light-transmitting, the light-transmitting hole 101 can be a through hole or a light-transmitting area on the housing 10.

[0051] Electronic devices can be mobile phones, tablets, e-readers, MP3 players, MP4 players, laptops, in-vehicle systems or desktop computers, portable terminals, laptop terminals, desktop terminals, action cameras, drones and similar products.

[0052] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the electronic device may include a display device 13, a back cover 11, and a middle frame 12. The display device 13 and the back cover 11 are respectively disposed on both sides of the middle frame 12, and the display device 13, the middle frame 12, and the back cover 11 form an accommodating space. Components such as a motherboard, battery, and processor 820 may be disposed within this accommodating space. A lamp board 20, a light-emitting module 30, and a protective cover 40 are also disposed within this accommodating space.

[0053] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the housing 10 may be a rear cover 11, with a light-transmitting hole 101 disposed on the rear cover 11. The light-emitting module 30 forms a rear flash module of the electronic device. A camera assembly may also be disposed on the rear cover 11, forming a rear camera of the electronic device.

[0054] For example, the back cover 11 may have a light-emitting area and an imaging area, with a gap between them. A light-transmitting hole 101 is located in the light-emitting area, and the camera assembly is located in the imaging area. The imaging area may have a lens decoration surrounding the camera assembly. There is a gap between the light-emitting area and the lens decoration, meaning that the light-transmitting hole 101 is located outside the lens decoration area.

[0055] It is understandable that the light-emitting area and the imaging area on the back cover 11 can also be located in the same area. For example, a lens decoration is provided on the back cover 11, and the lens decoration forms a ring-shaped area on the back cover 11. The light-transmitting hole 101 and the camera assembly are both located in the area enclosed by the lens decoration.

[0056] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the back cover 11 may include a back cover body and a transparent protective layer. The back cover body is made of an opaque material, such as metal. The transparent protective layer may be a glass plate or a transparent plastic plate, and is disposed on the surface of the back cover body. A light-transmitting hole 101 is disposed on the back cover body, and the transparent protective layer covers the light-transmitting hole 101. Of course, the back cover 11 is not limited to the combination of a transparent protective layer and a back cover body; the back cover 11 may also be an opaque back cover body.

[0057] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the housing 10 may be a display device 13, with a light-transmitting hole 101 disposed on the display device 13, and the light-emitting module 30 forming a front-facing flash module for the electronic device. A front-facing camera assembly may also be disposed on the display device 13.

[0058] For example, the display device 13 may include a display panel and a cover plate. A cutout area is provided on the display panel, forming a light-transmitting hole 101. The cover plate covers the surface of the display panel and protects it. A front-facing camera assembly may be disposed in the light-transmitting hole 101, or a lens hole may also be provided on the display panel, with the front-facing camera assembly disposed within the lens hole.

[0059] The light-emitting module 30 is disposed on the side of the lamp panel 20 near the housing 10. The light-emitting module 30 includes a first light-emitting element 31 and a second light-emitting element 32. The first light-emitting element 31 is used to emit visible light, and the second light-emitting element 32 is used to emit infrared light. The first light-emitting element 31, which emits visible light, is used as a flash lamp, and the second light-emitting element 32, which emits infrared light, is used as a remote control transmitter.

[0060] The first light-emitting element 31 can be an LED light-emitting element, which can emit visible light (wavelength range of 400 nm-780 nm) when excited. Alternatively, a visible light filter can be provided on the first light-emitting element 31, which can allow visible light to pass through.

[0061] The second light-emitting element 32 can be an LED light-emitting element, which can emit infrared light (wavelength range of 780 nm-1000 nm) when excited. Alternatively, an infrared filter can be provided on the second light-emitting element 32, which allows infrared light to pass through.

[0062] When the first light-emitting element 31 functions as a flashlight and the second light-emitting element 32 functions as an infrared remote control transmitter, such as Figure 7 As shown, the electronic device may further include a flash drive circuit 61 and an infrared remote control drive circuit 62. The flash drive circuit 61 is connected to a first light-emitting element 31, which emits visible light in response to a flash drive signal output by the flash drive circuit 61. The infrared remote control drive circuit 62 is connected to a second light-emitting element 32, which emits infrared light in response to a remote control drive signal output by the infrared remote control drive circuit 62.

[0063] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 2 As shown, the light-emitting module 30 may further include a third light-emitting element 33, which is used to emit visible light. When the environment in which the electronic device is located is relatively dark, the first light-emitting element 31 provides supplementary lighting for shooting, but the supplementary lighting effect is poor. At this time, by using the third light-emitting element 33 and the first light-emitting element 31 together to provide supplementary lighting, the supplementary lighting effect during shooting can be improved.

[0064] The first light-emitting element 31 and the third light-emitting element 33 are respectively disposed on both sides of the second light-emitting element 32, that is, the first light-emitting element 31, the second light-emitting element 32 and the third light-emitting element 33 are linearly distributed. Based on this, the light-transmitting hole 101 is an elongated hole. Setting the light-transmitting hole 101 as an elongated hole can reduce the influence of the light-transmitting hole 101 on the strength of the housing part 10.

[0065] The third light-emitting element 33 can be an LED light-emitting element, which can emit visible light (wavelength range of 400 nm-780 nm) when excited. Alternatively, a visible light filter can be provided on the third light-emitting element 33, which allows visible light to pass through.

[0066] In an electronic device, the first light-emitting element 31 can serve as the main flash, and the third light-emitting element 33 can serve as the auxiliary flash. The luminous intensity of the third light-emitting element 33 can be the same as that of the first light-emitting element 31, or the luminous intensity of the third light-emitting element 33 can be less than that of the first light-emitting element 31.

[0067] When the light-emitting module 30 includes a first light-emitting element 31 and a third light-emitting element 33, the flash lamp driving circuit 61 may include a first sub-driving circuit and a second sub-driving circuit. The first sub-driving circuit is connected to the first light-emitting element 31 and is used to drive the first light-emitting element 31 to emit light. The second sub-driving circuit is connected to the third light-emitting element 33 and is used to drive the third light-emitting element 33.

[0068] The lamp board 20 can be a circuit board, such as a flexible circuit board or a printed circuit board. A first driving signal trace, a second driving signal trace, and a third driving signal trace are provided on the circuit board. The first driving signal trace is electrically connected to the first light-emitting element 31, the second driving signal trace is electrically connected to the second light-emitting element 32, and the third driving signal trace is electrically connected to the third light-emitting element 33.

[0069] The light panel 20 can be connected to the middle frame 12 or the main board, or in some embodiments the light panel 20 can be the main board. Alternatively, the light panel 20 can be connected to the housing 10 through the protective cover 40, for example, the protective cover 40 is glued to the back cover 11, and the light panel 20 is glued to the protective cover 40.

[0070] In some embodiments, the electronic device includes a power supply component and a processor 820. The processor 820 is electrically connected to a flash drive circuit 61 and an infrared remote control drive circuit 62, and the power supply component is also electrically connected to the flash drive circuit 61 and the infrared remote control drive circuit 62. The processor 820 provides control signals to the flash drive circuit 61 and the infrared remote control drive circuit 62, and the power supply component provides power signals to the flash drive circuit 61 and the infrared remote control drive circuit 62. For example, the power supply component may include a battery and a power management circuit. The battery provides electrical energy, and the power management circuit distributes the power signals output by the battery to the flash drive circuit 61 and the infrared remote control drive circuit 62, respectively.

[0071] A protective cover 40 is located on the side of the light-emitting module 30 facing away from the lamp panel 20, and at least partially within the light-transmitting hole 101. The protective cover 40 is capable of transmitting at least visible and infrared light. That is, the protective cover 40 serves both to protect the light-emitting module 30 and to guide light. By sealing the light-transmitting hole 101 with the protective cover 40, external moisture or dust can be prevented from entering the electronic device, while still allowing light transmission.

[0072] The protective cover 40 may include a light guide 41 and a connecting part 42. The light guide 41 is sealed in the light-transmitting hole 101. The connecting part 42 at least partially surrounds the light guide 41 and is connected to the housing 10.

[0073] The protective cover 40 is made of transparent material, and the light guide part 41 and the connecting part 42 are integrally molded. For example, the protective cover 40 can be integrally molded by injection molding or machining. The light guide part 41 is used to block the light transmission hole 101 on one hand, and to transmit light on the other hand. The connecting part 42 is a protrusion on the side wall of the light guide part 41. When the light guide part 41 extends into the light transmission hole 101, the connecting part 42 abuts against the inner surface of the housing part 10.

[0074] For example, the connecting portion 42 surrounds the light guide portion 41, and the orthographic projection of the connecting portion 42 on the housing member 10 surrounds the light transmission hole 101. By setting the connecting portion 42 to surround the light transmission hole 101, the connection area between the protective cover 40 and the housing member 10 is increased, which is beneficial to improving connection stability and sealing.

[0075] A sealing layer is provided between the connecting part 42 and the housing part 10. The sealing layer connects the inner surface of the housing part 10 and the connecting part 42. By providing a sealing layer between the connecting part 42 and the housing part 10, the sealing performance can be improved, preventing external moisture or dust from entering the interior of the electronic device through the light-transmitting hole 101.

[0076] The protective cover 40 has a first recess and a second recess on the side near the lamp panel 20. The first light-emitting element 31 is at least partially located in the first recess, and the second light-emitting element 32 is at least partially located in the second recess. Since the height of the second light-emitting element 32 is greater than the height of the first light-emitting element 31, the depth of the second recess is greater than the depth of the first recess, so as to achieve flattening and avoid the second light-emitting element 32 occupying too much space in the thickness direction of the electronic device.

[0077] When the light-emitting module 30 also includes a third light-emitting element 33, the protective cover 40 may also be provided with a third recess, and the third light-emitting element 33 is at least partially located in the third recess. The depth of the third recess may be the same as the depth of the first recess.

[0078] To further improve the integration of electronic devices, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the electronic device also includes an ambient light sensor 50, which is disposed on the lamp panel 20. The ambient light sensor 50 can receive ambient light entering from the light-transmitting hole 101 and the protective cover. By integrating the ambient light sensor 50 into the lamp panel 20 and using the light-transmitting hole 101 on the housing 10 to receive light, space can be saved and the difficulty of installation can be reduced.

[0079] The ambient light sensor 50 includes an ambient light receiving part 51 and a main body part 52. The ambient light receiving part 51 is used to receive ambient light. The main body part 52 is connected to the ambient light receiving part 51. The orthographic projection of the ambient light receiving part 51 on the housing part 10 is located at the light-transmitting hole 101, and the projection of the main body part 52 on the housing part 10 is located outside the light-transmitting hole 101.

[0080] In the ambient light sensor 50, the ambient light receiving part 51 can collect ambient light by being exposed to the light-transmitting hole 101, while the main body part 52 can be kept out of the light-transmitting hole 101. This reduces the area of ​​the light-transmitting hole 101, thereby avoiding the problem of reduced strength of the housing part 10 due to the excessively large area of ​​the light-transmitting hole 101, and also takes into account the consistency of the appearance of the electronic device.

[0081] Because the position of the device to be remotely controlled is not fixed relative to the single device, the electronic device needs to constantly adjust its posture to align with the device to be remotely controlled, resulting in inconvenience. To solve this problem, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the second light-emitting element 32 is rotatable relative to the housing 10. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the electronic device also includes a drive mechanism 21, which is connected to the second light-emitting element 32. The drive mechanism 21 can be used to drive the second light-emitting element 32 to rotate.

[0082] The second light-emitting element 32 has a light-emitting surface. The ability of the second light-emitting element 32 to rotate relative to the housing 10 means that the angle between the light-emitting surface of the second light-emitting element 32 and the surface of the housing 10 is adjustable. By rotating the second light-emitting element 32 and the lamp panel 20, the emission direction of the light emitted by the second light-emitting element 32 can be adjusted to be aimed at the device to be remotely controlled.

[0083] For example, the second light-emitting element 32 can be rotatably connected to the protective cover 40. A rotating shaft is provided in the second recess of the protective cover 40, and the second light-emitting element 32 is connected to the rotating shaft. Alternatively, the second light-emitting element 32 can be rotatably connected to the lamp board 20. In this case, the lamp board 20 can be a printed circuit board, and a mounting bracket is provided on the lamp board 20. The second light-emitting element 32 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket.

[0084] Alternatively, the second light-emitting element 32 can be rotatably connected to the middle frame 12, for example, the light panel 20 can be connected to the middle frame 12. The second light-emitting element 32 and the light panel 20 are fixedly connected. The light panel 20 is connected to the middle frame 12, and the light panel 20 can rotate as a whole. The connection is simple and easy to implement.

[0085] The middle frame 12 may include a side frame and a connecting plate, with the side frame surrounding the connecting plate. A first lug and a second lug are provided on the connecting plate, with a gap between the first lug and the second lug. The lamp plate 20 is disposed within the gap between the first lug and the second lug, and the lamp plate 20 is rotatable relative to the first lug and the second lug.

[0086] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the electronic device includes a control unit connected to a drive mechanism 21. The control unit can acquire the position of the device to be remotely controlled and, based on the position of the device and the electronic device, controls the drive mechanism 21 to drive the second light-emitting element 32 to rotate. This eliminates the need for users to manually adjust the position of the electronic device when using it to remotely control the device, thus improving the user experience.

[0087] The driving mechanism 21 can be a micro motor, which is connected to the second light-emitting element 32 to drive the second light-emitting element 32 to rotate. Alternatively, the driving mechanism 21 can also be a piezoelectric device, such as a piezoelectric ceramic sheet. The piezoelectric device can deform when energized, and drive the second light-emitting element 32 to rotate through this deformation.

[0088] like Figure 8 As shown, the electronic device may also include one or more of the following components: processing component 802, memory 804, power supply component 806, multimedia component 808, audio component 810, input / output (I / O) interface 812, sensor component 814, and communication component 816.

[0089] Processing component 802 typically controls the overall operation of an electronic device, such as operations associated with display, telephone calls, data communication, camera operation, and recording. Processing component 802 may include one or more processors 820 to execute instructions to perform all or part of the steps of the methods described above. Furthermore, processing component 802 may include one or more modules to facilitate interaction between processing component 802 and other components. For example, processing component 802 may include a multimedia module to facilitate interaction between multimedia component 808 and processing component 802.

[0090] Memory 804 is configured to store various types of data to support operation of the device. Examples of this data include instructions for any application or method operating on the electronic device, contact data, phonebook data, messages, pictures, videos, etc. Memory 804 can be implemented by any type of volatile or non-volatile storage device or a combination thereof, such as static random access memory (SRAM), electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), programmable read-only memory (PROM), read-only memory (ROM), magnetic storage, flash memory, magnetic disk, or optical disk.

[0091] Power supply component 806 provides power to various components of an electronic device. Power supply component 806 may include a power management system, one or more power supplies, and other components associated with generating, managing, and distributing power to the electronic device.

[0092] Multimedia component 808 includes a screen that provides an output interface between an electronic device and a user.
