[0031] In the related art, a screen of an electronic device such as a mobile phone is only provided on a front face of the electronic device, which cannot meet various requirements of a user for display. However, due to an influence of a structural function of a functional module such as a camera, a button or the like, an auxiliary screen additionally arranged on a side face or a rear face of the electronic device cannot achieve a continuous display effect and satisfy a continuous display demand, thus reducing user experiences of the screen and the electronic device.

[0032] Fig. 1 is a front view of an electronic device in an illustrative example of the present disclosure. Fig. 2 is a rear view of an electronic device in an illustrative example of the present disclosure. As illustrated in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the electronic device 1 proposed by the present disclosure includes a device body 11, a camera component 13, and a display screen 12. The display screen 12 is assembled in the device body 11 and includes a first body display portion 121, a second body display portion 122, and a bent display portion 123. The first body display portion 121 is arranged opposite to the second body display portion 122, and the bent display portion 123 is connected with the first body display portion 121 and / or the second body display portion 122 such that the display screen 12 surrounds the device body 11. The device body 11 includes an end region 111, and the camera component 13 is assembled or arranged in the end region 111. The camera component 13 may be, for example, a camera or a camera circuit with lens and image sensor.

[0033] In the above embodiment, the end region 111 may refer to a section structure at an end of the device body 11, i.e., the end region 111 is a section structure at a top and / or a bottom of the device body 11. When the display screen 12 surrounds the device body 11, the end region 111 is fitted with an upper edge or a lower edge of the display screen 12, such that the camera component 13 arranged in the end region 111 avoids a direction of the display screen 12 surrounding the device body 11, thus reducing a structural interference of the camera component 13 to the display screen 12.

[0034] The display screen 12 includes the first body display portion 121 and the second body display portion 122 opposite to each other, and the bent display portion 123 is connected with the first body display portion 121 and / or the second body display portion 122 to form a display surrounding the device body 11. The camera component 13 is arranged in the end region 111 of the device body 11, thereby reducing the interference of the camera component 13 on the surrounding display of the display screen 12, and hence improving a screen-to-body ratio and a screen display effect.

[0035] In some embodiments, the bent display portion 123 is connected with the first body display portion 121 and / or the second body display portion 122 to form an integrated display screen 12. That is, the first body display portion 121, the second body display portion 122 and the bent display portion 123 of the display screen 12 are integrally formed, and are fitted with the device body 11 while surrounding the device body 1.

[0036] The structure and arrangement of the display screen 12 are illustrated as follows.

[0037] In an embodiment, the bent display portion 123 includes a first bent display sub-portion 1231 and a second bent display sub-portion 1232. The first bent display sub-portion 1231 is connected with the first body display portion 121 and the second body display portion 122, respectively. The second bent display sub-portion 1232 is connected with the first body display portion 121, while spliced and fitted with the second body display portion 122.

[0038] That is, the second bent display sub-portion 1232, the first body display portion 121, the first bent display sub-portion 1231 and the second body display portion 122 are connected in sequence, and the second bent display sub-portion 1232 and the second body display portion 122 are spliced end to end, thus forming the display screen 12 that surrounds the device body 11. The structure of the above display screen 12 is continuous, such that the display screen 12 has a continuous display effect in a direction surrounding the device body 11, thus improving the user experience.

[0039] The first body display portion 121 and the second body display portion 122 may be configured as main display faces of the display screen 12, which play a role of the main display, and the first bent display sub-portion 1231 and the second bent display sub-portion 1232 may be configured as auxiliary display faces of the display screen 12, which play a role of connecting the first body display portion 121 with the second body display portion 122 and providing a transition therebetween, such that the display screen 12 has a continuous display. Since the splicing is arranged between an arc bent display edge of the second bent display sub-portion 1232 and a plane display edge of the second body display portion 122, the influence of the splicing on the display effects of the first body display portion 121 and the second body display portion 122 is avoided. When the user watches the first body display portion 121, the first body display portion 121 is continuous with the first bent display sub-portion 1231 and the second bent display sub-portion 1232, so that there is no any discontinuous display, thus forming a full-screen display with stereoscopic and extended display effects on both sides of the first display body. When the user watches the second body display portion 122, the splicing only exists between the second body display portion 122 and the second bent display sub-portion 1232, and thus the overall display effect is improved. Furthermore, when the user watches the display screen 12 from a side face, the bent display portion 123 also has a display function, thus providing a stereoscopic display effect for the display screen 12.

[0040] Further, the second bent display sub-portion 1232 includes a first free side edge adjacent to the second body display portion 122, the second body display portion 122 includes a second free side edge adjacent to the second bent display sub-portion 1232, a gap 124 is formed between the first free side edge and the second free side edge, and a width of the gap 124 may be less than 2 mm. The above structure arrangement only forms a seam at the splicing of the first free side edge and the second free side edge, so as to reduce the interference of the seam on the overall display effect of the display screen 12. Moreover, the width of the above gap 124 is less than 2 mm, so as to reduce the perceptibility of naked eyes on the gap 124, thus improving the visual effect of the splicing of the first free side edge and the second free side edge, and improving the overall display effect of the display screen 12.

[0041] Alternatively, the width of the gap 124 may be adjusted appropriately according to a size of the electronic device 1 and a difference of a working scene that the display screen 12 is applied to. For example, when the electronic device 1 is a mobile phone, the width of the gap 124 may be less than 1 mm so as to improve the display effect of the display screen 12 of the mobile phone at the splicing. When the electronic device 1 is a medical terminal with a relatively large size, the width of the gap 124 may be less than 3 mm, etc.

[0042] In another embodiment, the bent display portion 123 includes one first bent display sub-portion 1231 and two second bent display sub-portions 1232. The one first bent display sub-portion 1231 is connected with the first body display portion 121 and the second body display portion 122, respectively. One of the two second bent display sub-portions 1232 is connected with the first body display portion 121, the other one of the two second bent display sub-portions 1232 is connected with the second body display portion 122, and the two second bent display sub-portions 1232 are spliced and fitted to define a splicing gap therebetween, thus also enabling the display screen 12 to achieve the display surrounding the device body 11, and reducing the influence of the splicing gap on the display effect.

[0043] In other embodiments, the gap of the display screen 12 formed by being spliced end to end may also be arranged at a front face, a rear face, a side face or other positions of the device body 11, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0044] It should be noted that the above display screen 12 may be a flexible screen, and the flexible screen surrounds the device body 11 by being bent. The above display screen 12 may be formed by adopting a Chip On Pi (COP) screen packaging process. A principle of the COP screen packaging is to bend a part of the screen directly, so as to bend a chip, a flat cable and the like on the screen to a rear face of a display region, thus further decreasing a size of a frame, reducing the influence of the chip, the flat cable and the like of the display screen 12 on the width of the gap 124, and improving the overall display effect of the display screen 12.

[0045] The camera component 13 may include one camera 131 or a plurality of cameras 131. When the camera component 13 includes the plurality of cameras 131, assembly positions and lens shooting directions of the plurality of cameras 131 may be identical or different, which is not limited in the present disclosure. Following illustrative descriptions are made by taking an example that the camera component 13 includes three cameras 131, and the assembling positions and the lens shooting directions of the three cameras 131 are identical.

[0046] In some embodiments, the camera component 13 includes a decoration member 132 and at least one camera 131, and the at least one camera 131 is assembled to the decoration member 132. The first body display portion 121 or the second body display portion 122 includes a relief portion 1221, and the decoration member 132 is assembled and fitted in the relief portion 1221. As illustrated in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, three cameras 131 are assembled on the decoration member 132, and the second body display portion 122 is provided with the relief portion 1221 corresponding to a position of the camera component 13. The relief portion 1221 is correspondingly arranged at an edge of the second body display portion 122, the camera component 13 is assembled in the relief portion 1221, and the shooting directions of the three cameras 131 faces towards a space faced by the second body display portion 122, thus achieving a shooting function directly, reducing the structural interference of the camera 131 to other central display positions of the second body display portion 122, and improving the screen-to-body ratio of a used face of the device body 11 where the second body display portion 122 is. The decoration member 132 may be, for example, a camera holder, a decoration plate, a protective plate, or a structure plate.

[0047] In the above embodiments, the structural interference of the camera component 13 to the first body display portion 121 is also avoided, and thus the first body display portion 121 has a full-screen display effect, such that the first body display portion 121 can serve as the front face of the display screen 12 for functions such as a video viewing, a function operation, a shooting preview, a picture display and the like. The second body display portion 122 serves as the rear face of the display screen 12 opposite to the first body display portion 121 for functions such as a selfie preview, a video chat, an auxiliary display, and the like.

[0048] The relief portion 1221 may be a notch formed in the second body display portion 122 and does not have a display function, and a shape of the notch is matched with a shape of an edge of the decoration member 132 of the camera component 13.

[0049] For example, when the user turns on the camera component 13 to shoot an external scene or person, the first body display portion 121 may face the user, and display operations such as the shooting preview is achieved through the first body display portion 121. When the camera component 13 is turned on for taking a selfie, the second body display portion 122 may face the user and selfie taking functions such as the selfie preview is achieved through the second body display portion 122. The above display screen 12 surrounding the device body 11 and the camera component 13 fitted in the relief portion 1221 achieve the functions of the external scene shooting and the selfie taking, reduce the arrangement position and the arrangement number of the camera component 13, and improve the imaging quality of the selfie and the overall display effect of the display screen 12.

[0050] Further, the relief portion 1221 may be arranged in the middle of the edge of the second body display portion 122, so as to improve an appearance effect of the camera component 13 and the display screen 12 fitted with each other, and to reduce difficulties of arranging the relief portion 1221 in the second body display portion 122. The camera component 13 may improve the shooting effect by increasing a thickness thereof. As illustrated in Fig. 3, the camera 131, the decoration member 132, and the like may protrude from the display screen 12, so as to increase an assembling space of the camera component 13.

[0051] In other embodiments, the first body display portion 121 may also be provided with the relief portion 1221 corresponding to the position of camera 131. In this case, the first body display portion 121 may serve as the front face of the display screen 12, and the second body display portion 122 may serve as the rear face of the display screen 12. The usage way in which the first body display portion 121 and the second body display portion 122 cooperate with the camera component 13 is the same with that of the above embodiments, and thus will not be repeated herein.

[0052] In other embodiments, the end region 111 includes an assembling end face 1112 perpendicular to the display screen 12, and the three cameras 131 are fitted in the assembling end face 1112. The assembling end face 1112 may be, for example, a body end face of the device 1 that is perpendicular to the display screen 12, and the three cameras 131 are fitted in the assembling end face 1112.

[0053] In an embodiment, as illustrated in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the electronic device 1 further includes an ejection mechanism 14, the end region 111 further defines an internal assembling space 1111, the assembling end face 1112 is provided with a reserved hole 1112a communicated with the internal assembling space 1111, and the camera component 13 is movably assembled in the internal assembling space 1111 and be fitted with the ejection mechanism 14 to selectively ejected out of or retracted into the internal assembling space 1111 through the reserved hole 1112a. The internal assembling space 1111 may be, for example, an internal space. When the camera component 13 is not used, the camera component 13 is retracted into the internal assembling space 1111, thus avoiding the structural interference of the camera component 13 to the first body display portion 121 and the second body display portion 122, and improving the screen-to-body ratio and the overall display effect of the display screen 12. When the camera component 13 is used, the camera component 13 may be ejected out of the internal assembling space 1111 through the reserved hole 1112a, such that the camera 131 protrudes from the assembling end face 1112 of the end region 111, so as to achieve the shooting function. The lens of the camera 131 may face the first body display portion 121 or the second body display portion 122, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0054] In another embodiment, Fig. 6 is a schematic view of a camera component in a flipped-out state in an illustrative example of the present disclosure. As illustrated in Fig. 6, the camera component 13 is assembled on the above assembling end face 1112, and the camera component 13 includes at least one camera 131 and a flipping mechanism 133. The flipping mechanism 133 includes a flipping shaft 1331 parallel to the assembling end face 1112, and the at least one camera 131 is assembled and fitted with the flipping shaft 1331. Based on the above structure arrangement, the camera 131 can be flipped relative to the assembling end face 1112, and stays in the flipped-out state when in use, while stays in a flipped-back state when not in use. When the camera 131 is in the flipped-back state, a lens optical axis of the camera 131 may be oriented towards a direction perpendicular to the assembling end face 1112, so as to reduce an overall height of the camera component 13 on the assembling end face 1112, thus reducing a space occupation. When the camera 131 is to be in the flipped-out state, the camera 131 is flipped around the flipping shaft 1331 until the lens optical axis of the camera 131 is perpendicular to the display screen 12, so as to achieve the shooting function.

[0055] In another embodiment, the electronic device includes the ejection mechanism 14, and the camera component 13 includes the flipping mechanism 133. The structural arrangement of the ejection mechanism 14 may be the same with that of the embodiment illustrated in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, and the structural arrangement of the flipping mechanism 133 may be the same with that of the embodiment illustrated in Fig. 6. The ejection mechanism 14 may be, for example, a spring loaded structure that ejects or lifts the camera from within the phone when pressed or activated by the phone. The ejection mechanism 14 may also be, for example, a mechanical structure that uses gears, servos, electrical motors or magnetic devices to move the camera from within the phone outwardly when activated by the phone.

[0056] The flipping mechanism 133 includes the flipping shaft 1331 parallel to the assembling end face 1112, and the camera 131 is assembled and fitted with the flipping shaft 1331. The end region 111 also defines the internal assembling space 1111, and the assembling end face 1112 is provided with the reserved hole 1112a communicated with the internal assembling space 1111. The camera 131 is movably assembled in the internal assembling space 1111. With a fit of the camera 131 and the ejection mechanism 14, the camera 131 may be selectively ejected out of or retracted into the internal assembling space 1111 through the reserved hole 1112a. With a rotation shaft fit of the camera 131 and the flipping shaft 1331, the camera 131 can be flipped and rotated relative to the assembling end face 1112 after being ejected out of the assembling space 1111.

[0057] When the camera component 13 is in use, the camera component 13 may be ejected out of the internal assembling space 1111 through the reserved hole 1112a, such that the camera 131 protrudes from the assembling end face 1112 of the end region 1112, and then the camera 131 is flipped such that the lens optical axis of the camera 131 is perpendicular to the display screen 12, thus achieving the shooting function. When the camera 131 is not in use, the camera 131 may be flipped to the flipped-back state, or the camera 131 may be retracted into the internal assembling space 1111 by the ejection mechanism 14. The combination of the ejection mechanism 14 and the flipping mechanism 133 enriches a usage state of the camera component 13 and improves a usage convenience of the camera component 13.
