[0025] The embodiments of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The detailed description of the following embodiments and the accompanying drawings are used to illustrate the principles of this application by way of example, but should not be used to limit the scope of this application. This application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.

[0026] These embodiments are provided to make the application thorough and complete, and to fully express the scope of the application to those skilled in the art. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of components and steps, material composition, numerical expressions, and values ​​illustrated in these embodiments should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limiting.

[0027] It should be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0028] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and similar terms used in this application do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different parts. "Vertical" is not strictly vertical, but within the permissible margin of error. "Parallel" is not strictly parallel, but within the permissible margin of error. Terms such as "including" or "contains" mean that the element preceding the word encompasses the element listed after it, and do not exclude the possibility of encompassing other elements as well.

[0029] In related technologies, to achieve a waterproof seal, adhesive is typically applied to seal the gaps between the cover plate, display screen, and casing. This sealing process requires a certain area of ​​the bezel, resulting in a larger width between the edge of the display area and the edge of the electronic device's casing. Visually, this creates a noticeable black border between the display screen and the bezel, affecting the aesthetics of the electronic device and the visual effect of the screen-to-body ratio.

[0030] Therefore, this application provides an electronic device that effectively reduces the width from the edge of the display area to the inner edge of the housing by extending the edges of the display screen and cover plate to the bottom of the housing frame, thereby improving the visual effect of screen ratio.

[0031] This application provides an electronic device, such as... Figures 1 to 3As shown, it includes: a frame 1, the frame 1 having an accommodating space 101 inside, and a first side edge 103 of the frame 1 having an eave 102 extending into the accommodating space 101; a display component 3, the display component 3 being disposed within the accommodating space 101, the display component 3 including a cover plate 301 and a display screen 302, the second side edge 301a of the cover plate 301 having a first notch 301b, the second side edge 301a being able to extend through the first notch 301b to below the eave 102 and abut against the eave 102; wherein, the display screen 302 is disposed on the side facing the accommodating space 101, and the third side edge 302a of the display screen 302 adjacent to the second side edge 301a has a first distance from the projection of the first side edge 103 in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the display screen 302.

[0032] The frame 1 can be made of metal or high-strength engineering plastic, serving as the main support structure of the electronic device. Its interior forms an accommodating space 101 for housing core components such as the display screen 302, motherboard, and battery. This accommodating space 101 can be rectangular or annular. An eave 102 extending inward toward the accommodating space 101 is provided on the first side edge 103 of the frame 1 (i.e., the inner side of the sidewall). The eave 102 can be a plate-like structure extending horizontally or obliquely inward. The first side edge 103 can be at least one side of the frame 1.

[0033] The display assembly 3 includes a cover plate 301 and a display screen 302 located below it, which together form a whole and are installed within the receiving space 101 of the frame 1. The display assembly 3 can be connected to the frame 1 by snap-fit ​​or adhesive. The second side edge 301a of the cover plate 301 (i.e., at least one side of its periphery) is provided with a first notch 301b, which can be in the form of an inclined surface, a step, or other shape that facilitates assembly. During installation, the second side edge 301a of the cover plate 301 can be inserted into the underside of the eaves 102 of the frame 1 using the first notch 301b. At this time, the third side edge 302a of the display screen 302 adjacent to the second side edge 301a of the cover plate 301 maintains a certain first distance between its projected position and the first side edge 103 of the frame 1 in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the display screen 302 (i.e., the thickness direction of the electronic device).

[0034] The electronic device provided in this application embodiment has an eave 102 extending from the frame 1 into its accommodating space 101, and utilizes a first notch 301b on the edge of the cover plate 301 to allow it to be embedded from below into the eave 102. This effectively reduces the width from the edge of the display area to the inner edge of the frame 1. The first distance between the outer edge of the display screen 302 and the inner edge of the frame 1 can be controlled within 0.5mm–0.8mm. By recessing the physical edge of the display screen 302 towards the frame 1, the black border between it and the frame 1 is not easily noticeable under normal viewing angles. This greatly improves the visual effect of screen-to-body ratio; even if there is a tiny physical bezel, the black border that the user can perceive is almost zero, thus satisfying the user's psychological expectations and visual needs for an extremely narrow bezel.

[0035] In some embodiments, the electronic device further includes a first seal disposed on the side of the eaves facing the accommodating space; the second side edge abuts against the eaves via the first seal.

[0036] The first sealing element 2 can be made of a flexible material, such as a rubber strip, silicone pad, or foam tape, and is fixed to the side of the eaves 102 facing the receiving space 101, i.e., its bottom or inner side. When the display component 3 is installed, the second side edge 301a of its cover plate 301 will be embedded under the eaves 102 of the frame 1 and press against the first sealing element 2 located on the bottom surface of the eaves 102 upward or inward, thereby pressing the first sealing element 2 tightly to achieve a reliable seal.

[0037] In some embodiments, the frame 1 is a rectangular ring structure, and each edge of the frame 1 is provided with an eave 102.

[0038] The frame 1 of the electronic device can adopt a rectangular ring structure, such as a metal frame or a plastic bracket, to form a central accommodating space 101 for mounting internal components such as the display component 3, motherboard, and battery. On the inner edges of the four edges of the frame 1 (i.e., the top, bottom, left, and right sides), there are eaves 102 extending into the accommodating space 101. The eaves 102 can be flat or stepped in cross-section, forming a continuous ring structure around the display area. The corresponding cover plate 301 is rectangular, and its second side edges 301a are provided with first notches 301b to accommodate the eaves 102 structure for assembly.

[0039] The first seal 2 is a complete annular structure, such as a closed rubber ring, silicone strip, or annular foam with adhesive backing. The shape and size of the annular first seal 2 are adapted to the inner surface of the four side eaves 102 of the frame 1, and can be firmly attached to the side of the eaves 102 facing the receiving space 101 by adhesive bonding to form a continuous and uninterrupted sealing ring.

[0040] When the display component 3 is installed, the four edges of the cover plate 301 are inserted into the underside of the corresponding eaves 102 from four directions using the first notches 301b thereon. The entire periphery of the cover plate 301 presses upward against the annular first seal 2, so that it is subjected to uniform force and undergoes elastic deformation, thereby achieving a complete and reliable seal in the circumferential direction.

[0041] Because the frame 1 has eaves 102 on all four sides, and the cover plate 301 has corresponding first notches 301b on all four sides, the first distance between the display area and the inner edge of the frame 1 can be precisely controlled within 0.5mm–0.8mm. This significantly reduces the visual black border, maintaining an extremely narrow bezel appearance and a visual effect of ultra-high screen-to-body ratio.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the surface of the eaves 102 facing the accommodating space 101 is a first inclined surface, and the first notch 301b of the second side edge 301a is a second inclined surface parallel to the first inclined surface; the first sealing member 2 has a first protrusion 201 protruding into the accommodating space 101 on the side facing away from the eaves 102, and the first protrusion 201 abuts against the second inclined surface.

[0043] The eaves 102 extending from the frame 1 into the accommodating space 101 have a first inclined surface on the surface (i.e., the bottom or inner surface) facing the accommodating space 101. The first inclined surface slopes from the starting end of the eaves 102 toward the end in a direction toward the outside of the accommodating space 101. Correspondingly, the surface of the first notch 301b of the second side edge 301a of the cover plate 301 is a second inclined surface parallel to the first inclined surface.

[0044] The first sealing member 2 has a first protrusion 201 protruding towards the accommodating space 101 on the side facing away from the eaves 102 (i.e. towards the accommodating space 101). The first protrusion 201 may have a triangular, semi-circular or polygonal cross section. The first sealing member 2 may be integrally formed from elastic materials such as silicone or rubber.

[0045] When the display assembly 3 is installed, the second bevel of the edge of the cover plate 301 and the first bevel of the eaves 102 form a beveled contact. The second side edge 301a of the cover plate 301 presses the first protrusion 201 of the first seal 2 upward through its second bevel, causing the first protrusion 201 to be compressed and deformed, thereby achieving a tight and reliable seal.

[0046] The combination of the first and second inclined surfaces forms an effective inclined guide mechanism, which can automatically guide the cover plate 301 to accurate alignment even with minor deviations during assembly, reducing assembly difficulty. Meanwhile, the first protrusion 201 has a large compression stroke and good resilience, which not only improves the sealing effect but also extends the service life of the seal.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the frame 1 has a first snap-fit ​​portion 105 on the inner wall surface facing the accommodating space 101, and the first snap-fit ​​portion 105 and the eaves 102 form a first installation space; the display component 3 also includes a first support structure 303, the cover plate 301 and the display screen 302 are disposed on the first support structure 303, and the size of the display component 3 is adapted to the first installation space; wherein, when the display component 3 is snapped into the frame 1, the first support structure 303 abuts against the first snap-fit ​​portion 105, and the cover plate 301 abuts against the eaves 102.

[0048] On the inner wall surface of the frame 1 facing the accommodating space 101 (i.e., the side wall of the accommodating space 101), a first snap-fit ​​portion 105 protruding inward is provided. The first snap-fit ​​portion 105 may be an annular boss, a buckle, or a stepped structure. The first snap-fit ​​portion 105 and the inwardly extending eaves 102 together form a surrounding first mounting space for mounting the display component 3.

[0049] The display component 3 also includes a first support structure 303, which may be made of metal (such as an aluminum plate) or plastic and is plate-shaped. The cover plate 301 and the display screen 302 are installed on the first support structure 303 by adhesive bonding or mechanical fixing to form a complete display module. The overall dimensions of the display component 3 match the first installation space, and its thickness is adapted to the depth of the first installation space.

[0050] During assembly, the entire display component 3 can be pressed into the first mounting space in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the display screen 302. The protrusion of the first latching portion 105 is less than the outer contour of the cover plate 301 and the display screen 302, but greater than the outer periphery of the first support structure 303, thus allowing the cover plate 301 and the display screen 302 to pass smoothly during assembly without being blocked by the first latching portion 105. The protrusion of the eaves 102 is greater than the edge of the cover plate 301, allowing the second side edge 301a of the cover plate 301 to be smoothly embedded under the eaves 102.

[0051] As the display component 1 continues to advance to its fully seated position, the surface of the first support structure 303 facing away from the display screen 302 abuts against the first latching part 105. Since the protrusion of the first latching part 105 is sufficiently large, it can effectively contact the first support structure 303, providing downward axial restraint. Simultaneously, the second side edge 301a of the cover plate 301 is fully embedded below the eaves 102 and abuts against its bottom surface, forming upward axial restraint, and a sealed connection is achieved through the first sealing element 2 between the two. Thus, the display component 3 is jointly restrained from above and below by the eaves 102 and the first latching part 105 in the front-rear direction, achieving stable and reliable latching fixation while ensuring sealing performance.

[0052] The mechanical limiting structure in both the upper and lower directions effectively prevents the display component 3 from loosening, shifting, or falling off in the thickness direction, significantly improving the stability of the connection. Reliable fixing is achieved through snap-fit, eliminating the need for adhesive sealing or fixation. This not only simplifies the installation process but also makes subsequent disassembly and maintenance more convenient, facilitating product upkeep.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a second snap-fit ​​portion 106 is also provided on the inner wall surface of the frame 1 facing the accommodating space 101. The second snap-fit ​​portion 106 is provided near the first side edge 103. The first support structure 303 is snapped into the first snap-fit ​​portion 105 and the second snap-fit ​​portion 106 respectively.

[0054] A second snap-fit ​​portion 106 is also provided on the inner wall surface of the frame 1 facing the accommodating space 101. The second snap-fit ​​portion 106 is disposed in the side wall region between the first snap-fit ​​portion 105 and the eaves 102, and the second snap-fit ​​portion 106 is close to the first side edge 103 of the frame 1 (i.e., the side edge where the eaves 102 is located). The second snap-fit ​​portion 106 may be an annular boss, a buckle, or a stepped structure, and together with the first snap-fit ​​portion 105, it forms a multi-level snap-fit ​​mating surface. The distance between the first snap-fit ​​portion 105 and the second snap-fit ​​portion 106 may match the thickness dimension of the first support structure 303.

[0055] After the display component 3 is pressed into the first mounting space of the frame 1, the first support structure 303 not only abuts against the first latching part 105 away from the eaves 102, but also simultaneously abuts against the second latching part 106 near the eaves 102. This causes the first support structure 303 to form a lower limit with the first latching part 105 and the second latching part 106 in its thickness direction, thereby achieving multi-point support and making the fixation of the display component 3 within the frame 1 more secure and reliable.

[0056] By providing the second latching part 106, external impact force can be effectively distributed when the electronic device is dropped or bumped, avoiding stress concentration in the connection area between the cover plate 301 and the eaves 102, and preventing hard impact between the cover plate 301 and the eaves 102. This reduces the risk of the glass cover plate 301 breaking or being damaged due to impact, and improves the durability and safety of the product.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the display screen includes a flexible circuit board protruding toward the frame, and a second notch for accommodating a portion of the flexible circuit board is provided on the first side edge of the frame facing the accommodating space.

[0058] The display screen 302 also features a flexible printed circuit board (FPC), which protrudes from the display screen 302 body towards the frame 1. This FPC connects the display screen 302 to the motherboard or power supply, enabling signal and power transmission. The frame 1 has a second notch 108 at the location corresponding to the FPC. The size, shape, and position of the second notch 108 match the width, thickness, and bending path of the FPC, forming a partial clearance space to accommodate a portion of the FPC. Similarly, the first sealing member 2 on the frame 1 may also have a notch adapted to accommodate a portion of the FPC at the location corresponding to the FPC.

[0059] By providing notches in the frame 1 and / or the first seal 2, a dedicated clearance space is provided for the flexible circuit board, which solves the problem of space interference between the flexible circuit board and the frame 1 and / or the first seal 2, and ensures that the display component 3 can be installed smoothly.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the electronic device also includes: a second seal 4 and a back cover 5; the frame 1 also includes a fourth side edge 104, which is disposed opposite to the first side edge 103, and the second seal 4 is circumferentially disposed on the side of the fourth side edge 104 facing the accommodating space 101; wherein, the side of the second seal 4 facing away from the frame 1 has a second protrusion 401 protruding into the accommodating space 101, and the second protrusion 401 abuts against the fifth side edge 501 of the back cover 5.

[0061] The electronic device also includes a back cover 5, which can be made of materials such as a glass back cover, a ceramic back plate, or a metal shell. The frame 1 in the electronic device has a ring-shaped structure, with a first side edge 103 and a fourth side edge 104 along its thickness direction, wherein the first side edge 103 corresponds to the display component 3, and the fourth side edge 104 corresponds to the back cover 5.

[0062] A second sealing element 4 is provided on the side of the fourth edge 104 facing the accommodating space 101. The second sealing element 4 is a closed annular strip structure. The second sealing element 4 can be made of elastic materials such as silicone or rubber. The side of the second sealing element 4 facing the accommodating space 101 has a second protrusion 401 that protrudes outward (i.e. towards the interior of the accommodating space 101). The cross-section of the second protrusion 401 can be semi-circular, triangular, or rectangular.

[0063] During the assembly of the electronic device, the back cover 5 is installed from the fourth side edge 104 of the frame 1, and its fifth side edge 501 (i.e., the circumferential edge of the back cover 5) is embedded in the receiving space 101 of the frame 1. When the back cover 5 is assembled in place, the end face of its fifth side edge 501 presses against the second protrusion 401 of the second seal 4, causing the second protrusion 401 to undergo elastic compression, thereby forming a reliable seal between the back cover 5 and the frame 1.

[0064] By setting an annular second seal 4 on the fourth side edge 104 of the frame 1 and using the second protrusion 401 on it to achieve pressure contact with the edge of the back shell 5, a sealing structure on the back of the electronic device is effectively constructed.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the electronic device also includes: a functional component 6, which includes a second support structure 601, which is detachably connected to a first support structure 303; a third snap-fit ​​portion 107 is also provided on the inner wall surface of the frame 1 facing the accommodating space 101, which is located near the fourth side edge 104 and forms a second mounting space with the first snap-fit ​​portion 105; the second support structure 601 is located in the second mounting space and snaps into the third snap-fit ​​portion 107 and the first snap-fit ​​portion 105 respectively.

[0066] The electronic device also includes a functional component 6, which can be a circuit board, battery, etc. The functional component 6 has a second support structure 601, which can be made of materials such as metal or high-strength plastic, and is used to support and fix various functional parts on the functional component 6. The second support structure 601 is detachably connected to the first support structure 303 in the display component 3, for example, through a structure such as clips or screws. This allows the functional component 6 to be installed and disassembled as an independent module, facilitating pre-assembly, testing, maintenance, and replacement.

[0067] On the inner wall surface of the frame 1 facing the accommodating space 101, a third snap-fit ​​portion 107 is also provided. The third snap-fit ​​portion 107 is located near the fourth side edge 104 of the frame 1 and together with the first snap-fit ​​portion 105, forms a ring-shaped second mounting space. The second mounting space is used to accommodate and fix the functional component 6.

[0068] During assembly, the second support structure 601 of the functional component 6 can be aligned and pressed into the second installation space, so that it can engage or abut with the first snap-fit ​​part 105 and the third snap-fit ​​part 107 in the thickness direction, thereby forming a limiting structure in the vertical direction and firmly fixing the functional component 6 inside the frame 1.

[0069] By setting up a second installation space and using the first latching part 105 and the third latching part 107 to limit the upper and lower positions of the second support structure 601, the stability of the functional component 6 inside the device is ensured, effectively preventing it from loosening, shifting, or vibrating abnormally during use. The detachable connection eliminates the need for additional fasteners or adhesives, allowing for individual disassembly of the functional component 6 during maintenance or replacement without disassembling the entire display module, significantly reducing maintenance difficulty and costs.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the display screen 302 is bonded to the first support structure 303 by the first adhesive layer 7; the back shell 5 is bonded to the second support structure 601 by the second adhesive layer 8.

[0071] The display screen 302 is bonded to the surface of the first support structure 303 by a first adhesive layer 7 (such as optical adhesive, foam adhesive, or double-sided tape), and the two are combined to form a complete display module. The display module can be installed to the frame 1 by snap-fit, achieving a stable fixation.

[0072] The back cover 5 (such as a glass back cover, ceramic back plate, or metal shell) is bonded to the second support structure 601 by a second adhesive layer 8 (which can also be optical adhesive, foam adhesive, or double-sided tape). After the second support structure 601 is mechanically engaged with the snap-fit ​​part on the frame 1, the back cover 5 is bonded to the second support structure 601, and the fifth side edge 501 of the back cover 5 is sealed with the second sealing member 4 on the frame 1.

[0073] By attaching the display module and functional components 6 to the frame 1 using a snap-fit ​​method, the cover plate 301 and the back shell 5 do not need to be sealed and fixed to the frame 1 with adhesive. During maintenance, only the first adhesive layer 7 or the second adhesive layer 8 needs to be replaced to complete the disassembly and re-attachment of the display screen 302 or the back shell 5, greatly improving the convenience of maintenance.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first snap-fit ​​portion 105 consists of a plurality of first protrusions arranged in a ring along the inner wall surface of the frame 1, and the third snap-fit ​​portion 107 consists of a plurality of second protrusions arranged in a ring along the inner wall surface of the frame 1.

[0075] The first latching portion 105 includes a plurality of first protrusions, which are arranged in a ring array along the inner wall surface of the frame 1 toward the accommodating space 101. Each first protrusion may be a small rectangular, trapezoidal, or semi-circular protrusion that provides a supporting surface in the height direction for abutting against the first support structure 303 of the display component 3 to achieve axial positioning.

[0076] The third engaging portion 107 includes a plurality of second protrusions, which are also distributed in a ring along the inner wall surface of the frame 1 and are close to the fourth side edge 104 of the frame 1. The positions of the second protrusions can be offset from or correspond to the first protrusions, and are used to engage or abut with the second support structure 601 of the functional component 6 to provide stable support and limiting.

[0077] Compared to the traditional continuous annular boss structure, the design of multiple discretely distributed protrusions not only significantly reduces the amount of material used while ensuring structural strength and function, effectively reducing the overall weight of frame 1, but also avoids the problems of overall deformation or stress concentration caused by thermal expansion and contraction and uneven stress during injection molding or processing.

[0078] The assembly method of the electronic device provided in this application embodiment:

[0079] If one side of the frame 1 is provided with an eave 102, and the corresponding second side edge 301a of the cover plate 301 is provided with a first notch 301b, such as Figure 7 As shown, the steps are as follows:

[0080] Step A: Align the cover plate 301 with the display screen 302 side and place it on top of the frame 1 to initially align the assembly position.

[0081] Step B: Insert the second side edge 301a of the cover plate 301 at an inclined angle under the eaves 102 of the frame 1, and smoothly guide it under the eaves using the first notch 301b.

[0082] Step C: Utilizing the elastic deformation capability of the cover plate 301, the remaining parts are gradually pressed in and secured into the frame 1. At this time, an adhesive layer can be pre-installed on the side of the frame facing the cover plate. After the cover plate is fully assembled, it is firmly bonded to the frame through this adhesive layer, forming a sealed connection.

[0083] The angled insertion assembly scheme fully utilizes the notch design and structural flexibility of the cover plate 301's edge, allowing the cover plate 301 to be embedded into the eaves 102 from below, effectively reducing the physical distance between the edge of the display area and the inner edge of the frame. This not only significantly narrows the bezel width but also improves the overall screen-to-body ratio and visual experience, better meeting users' demands for a high screen-to-body ratio.

[0084] If all the perimeter edges of frame 1 are provided with eaves 102, such as Figure 8 As shown, the steps are as follows:

[0085] Step 1: Assemble the display component 3. The display screen 302 and the cover plate 301 are glued to the first support structure 303 to form a complete display component 3.

[0086] Step 2: Insert the assembled display component 3 into the frame 1 from the rear of the electronic device, and use the eaves 102 on the frame 1 to engage with the first snap-fit ​​part 105 on the inner circumferential side to position and fix the display component 3.

[0087] Step 3: Assemble functional component 6 by installing and connecting electronic components such as circuit boards to the second support structure 601 to form an independent functional component 6 module.

[0088] Step 4: Insert the assembled functional component 6 into the second mounting space within the frame 1, and secure it with snap-fit ​​parts 105 and 107 on the inner circumferential side of the frame 1 to achieve upper and lower limits. Simultaneously, use screws to lock the second support structure 601 to the first support structure 303, integrating them into a single unit.

[0089] Step 5: Assemble the back cover 5. Attach the back cover 5 to the second support structure 601 using foam adhesive to complete the assembly of the electronic device.

[0090] The modular snap-fit ​​assembly allows for the independent assembly of the display component 3 and the functional component 6, which are then uniformly installed into the frame 1, simplifying the assembly process of electronic devices and improving production efficiency. The cover plate 301's four edges utilize first notches 301b to insert into the underside of the corresponding eaves 102 from four directions. The entire periphery of the cover plate 301 presses upward against the annular first sealing element 2, causing it to be evenly stressed and elastically deformed. This not only achieves a complete and reliable seal in the circumferential direction but also minimizes the distance between the edge of the display screen 302 and the frame 1, increasing the screen-to-body ratio and meeting users' demands for a narrow bezel visual effect.
