At this time, the third recessed portion and the first groove can avoid the first front camera, so that the first front camera can be installed to avoid interference with the screen and the first shell, thereby eliminating the need to increase the thickness of the first shell to avoid interference between the first front camera and the screen and the first shell, so that the first shell of the foldable electronic device can be smaller, thereby reducing the thickness of the foldable electronic device when it is in a folded state, and improving the user experience.

[0012] In a specific embodiment, along the thickness direction of the foldable electronic device, the bottom wall of the first groove is raised relative to the surface of the first shell facing away from the screen, thereby increasing the installation space in the first shell along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device, facilitating the installation of the first front camera without increasing the overall thickness of the first shell, and further without increasing the thickness of the foldable electronic device in the folded state.

[0013] In a specific embodiment, the shell also includes a second shell, which is provided with a second groove. Along the thickness direction of the foldable electronic device, the second groove is recessed toward the side away from the screen; when the foldable electronic device is in a folded state, the bottom wall of the first groove is located in the second groove. Therefore, the second groove is used to avoid the raised bottom wall of the first groove, thereby further reducing the thickness of the foldable electronic device in the folded state.

[0014] In a specific embodiment, the first shell includes a first middle frame and a first back cover, the second shell includes a second middle frame and a second back cover, the first groove is provided on the first back cover, and the second groove is provided on the second back cover. In this embodiment, when the first back cover of the first shell is provided with the first groove and the second back cover of the second shell is provided with the second groove, interference between the first front camera and the first back cover can be avoided, and interference between the bottom wall of the first groove and the second back cover can be avoided, thereby reducing the thickness of the first shell, and further reducing the thickness of the electronic device in the unfolded state, and reducing the thickness of the electronic device in the folded state. In particular, when the foldable electronic device includes a three-fold structure (including three shells), the above-mentioned first groove and second groove can significantly reduce the thickness of the electronic device in the folded state.

[0015] In a specific embodiment, the foldable electronic device further includes a rear camera mounted on a first housing, the first housing including a first back cover and a decorative piece mounted on the first back cover; a first groove is provided in the decorative piece, and a portion of the first front camera and a portion of the rear camera are located in the first groove. In this embodiment, the first groove is provided in the decorative piece, i.e., the decorative piece is recessed away from the main screen, forming a space for accommodating a portion of the first front camera and a portion of the rear camera. This not only protects the first front camera and the rear camera through the decorative piece, but also allows the space in the decorative piece to be rationally utilized for arranging the first front camera, eliminating the need to provide the first groove elsewhere in the first housing, thereby ensuring the integrity of the first housing.

[0016] In a specific embodiment, when the foldable electronic device is in the unfolded state, the screen is fixedly connected to the same side of each shell along the thickness direction of the foldable electronic device, and when the foldable electronic device is in the folded state, the screen fixedly connected to the first shell is exposed. In this embodiment, the screen of the foldable electronic device may only include a main screen, and when the foldable electronic device is in the unfolded state, the main screen is roughly located in the same plane. When the foldable electronic device is in the folded state, the main screen connected to the first shell is exposed and serves as the secondary screen of the foldable electronic device in the folded state. At this time, the foldable electronic device does not need to be equipped with a secondary screen, thereby simplifying the structure of the electronic device and reducing costs. The screen connected to the shell other than the first shell is located in the space formed after the shells are folded.

[0017] In a specific embodiment, the shell also includes a third shell, the screen includes a main screen and a sub-screen arranged relatively to each other along the thickness direction of the foldable electronic device, and the main screen is fixedly connected to one side of each shell along the thickness direction of the foldable electronic device, and the sub-screen is fixedly connected to the side of the third shell facing away from the main screen; the front camera also includes a second front camera installed on the third shell, and the main screen fixedly connected to the third shell is provided with a fourth recessed portion, and the fourth recessed portion is recessed in a direction away from the sub-screen along the thickness direction of the foldable electronic device, and the sub-screen is provided with a fifth recessed portion, and the fifth recessed portion is recessed in a direction away from the main screen along the thickness direction of the foldable electronic device, and the two ends of the second front camera along the thickness direction of the foldable electronic device are respectively located at the fourth recessed portion and the fifth recessed portion.

[0018] At this time, the fourth and fifth recessed portions can avoid the second front camera, allowing the second front camera to be installed without interfering with the main screen and the secondary screen. This eliminates the need to increase the thickness of the third shell to avoid interference between the second front camera and the main screen and the secondary screen. This allows the thickness of the third shell of the foldable electronic device to be relatively small, thereby reducing the thickness of the foldable electronic device when in the folded state and improving the user experience. In this embodiment, a first groove is provided on the decorative member of the first shell, and a third recessed portion is provided on the screen connected to the first shell. This facilitates the installation of the first front camera while reducing the thickness of the first shell. At the same time, a fourth recessed portion and a fifth recessed portion are provided on the main screen and the secondary screen connected to the third shell, respectively. This facilitates the installation of the second front camera while reducing the thickness of the third shell. In summary, in this embodiment, the thickness of the first shell and the third shell of the foldable electronic device are both relatively small, thereby reducing the thickness of the foldable electronic device when in the folded state.

[0019] In a specific embodiment, the foldable electronic device includes three shells. When the foldable electronic device is in an unfolded state, the area of ​​the screen used for display is larger, thereby improving the user experience.

[0037] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with the present application and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] When a foldable electronic device is in a folded state, at least two shells are stacked in the thickness direction. In the folded state, the thickness of the foldable electronic device is at least the sum of the thicknesses of the shells. At present, the development trend of foldable electronic devices is to make them lighter and thinner in the folded state, that is, the sum of the thicknesses of the shells is required to be smaller, which requires the thickness of each shell to be smaller. As shown in Figure 1, the foldable electronic device includes a shell, a front camera 2' and a screen. The screen includes a sub-screen 3' and a main screen 4'. The sub-screen 3' and the main screen 4' are installed at both ends of the shell in the thickness direction, and the front camera 2' is installed in the middle frame 1' of the shell. When the thickness of the shell is small, the front camera 2' cannot be installed in the thickness direction. A through hole can be provided in the sub-screen 3', and a part of the lens of the front camera 2' is located in the through hole.

[0040] The above-mentioned method of providing a through hole in the secondary screen 3′ to install the front camera 2′ can reduce the thickness of the shell to a certain extent. However, when it is necessary to further reduce the thickness of the foldable electronic device in the folded state, especially when the foldable electronic device is a multi-fold structure (including three or more shells), the thickness of each shell needs to be smaller. As shown in the structure in the dotted box in Figure 1, since the front camera 2′ has a certain thickness, if the thickness of the shell is smaller, there is a risk of interference between the front camera 2′ and the main screen 4′, resulting in the front camera 2′ being unable to be installed. In order to install the front camera 2′, as shown in Figure 2, the main screen 4′ can be moved in a direction away from the secondary screen 3′, thereby increasing the space between the main screen 4′ and the secondary screen 3′ along the thickness direction to avoid interference between the front camera 2′ and the main screen 4′. However, this method will increase the thickness of the shell, resulting in the thickness of the foldable electronic device being too large in the folded state, especially for foldable electronic devices with a multi-fold structure.

[0041] To alleviate this technical problem, the present application provides a foldable electronic device, including any device with a foldable screen function, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a laptop computer, an in-car computer, a foldable display device, a foldable display screen, a wearable device, etc. The present application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific form of the above-mentioned foldable electronic device. For the sake of convenience, the following description uses a mobile phone as an example. The following describes the foldable electronic device of the present application with a specific embodiment.

[0042] As shown in Figures 3-5, the foldable electronic device includes a folding component 3, a screen 2 and a housing, wherein the screen 2 includes at least a main screen 22, and the main screen 22 can be a flexible screen, which is used to display images, videos, etc. The specific type of the flexible screen of the present application is not limited. For example, the flexible screen can be an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode or an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display screen. As a self-luminous display screen, the AMOLED display screen does not require a backlight module (BLM). Therefore, when the base substrate in the AMOLED display screen is made of a flexible resin material, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the AMOLED display screen can have a bendable property. Exemplarily, the flexible screen can also be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, a mini organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, a micro organic light-emitting diode (micro organic light-emitting diode) display, a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) display, etc.

[0043] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the housing of the foldable electronic device includes two or more shells, and when the foldable electronic device is in the unfolded state, the two or more shells are spaced apart along the width direction of the foldable electronic device. At least part of the shell is used to install the battery, circuit board, camera, earphones, receiver, buttons, battery and other components of the electronic device, and each shell is also used to carry the main screen 22, that is, the main screen 22 is fixedly connected (for example, glued) to each shell, so that the main screen 22 remains as flat as possible during use, and the non-display surface of the main screen 22 is protected. The folding component 3 is located between two adjacent shells and is connected to the two adjacent shells.

[0044] During use of the foldable electronic device, the foldable assembly 3 includes at least the unfolded state shown in Figures 3 and 4 and the folded state shown in Figure 6. In the unfolded state, the housings are approximately in the same plane, making the main screen 22 approximately flat. In this state, the main screen 22 is exposed, and the user can operate the main screen 22. The main screen 22 can also display information such as images or videos to achieve a large-screen display and enhance the user's viewing experience. When the foldable assembly 3 is in the unfolded state, the adjacent housings can rotate relative to each other, thereby driving the foldable assembly 3 to fold, so that the foldable electronic device is transformed into the folded state shown in Figure 6. In this folded state, at least a portion of the main screen 22 is located within the space enclosed by the folded housings. At this point, the foldable electronic device is easy to store and carry.

[0045] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the structures illustrated in the embodiments of the present application do not constitute specific limitations on the electronic device. In other possible implementations of the present application, the electronic device may include more components than shown, or combine or separate certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0046] In a specific embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 3-5, the screen of the foldable electronic device includes a main screen 22 and a sub-screen 21. The main screen 22 is a flexible screen and is fixedly connected (for example, bonded) to each shell. The sub-screen 21 can be a flexible screen or a non-flexible screen. The foldable electronic device also includes one or more front cameras, which are used for selfies and video calls. Among each shell, the shell in which at least part of the front camera is provided is the first shell 11, and the sub-screen 21 is provided in the first shell 21. The sub-screen 21 and the main screen 22 are arranged opposite to each other along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device, that is, the sub-screen 21 and the main screen 22 connected to the first shell 11 are located on both sides of the first shell 11 along the thickness direction Z. The area of ​​the main screen 22 is larger than the secondary screen 21. When the foldable electronic device is in the unfolded state, the main screen 22 is used for large-screen display. When the foldable electronic device is in the folded state, the main screen 22 is located in the space formed by the folding of each shell, and the secondary screen 21 is exposed. At this time, the secondary screen 21 is used for display, so that the foldable electronic device can still display when it is in the folded state.

[0047] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, which are partial cross-sectional views of Figure 5, Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of the first housing and the first front camera, and Figure 7 shows a schematic diagram of the first housing and the second front camera. The first housing 11 includes a first middle frame 111, to which the front camera is mounted. The main screen 22 is provided with a first recessed portion 221a, which is recessed along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device away from the secondary screen 21. The secondary screen 21 is provided with a second recessed portion 211a, which is recessed along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device away from the main screen 22. The two ends of the front camera along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device are respectively located in the first recessed portion 221a and the second recessed portion 211a. At this time, the first recessed portion 221a and the second recessed portion 211a can avoid the front camera, so that the front camera can be installed to avoid interference with the main screen 22 and the sub-screen 21. Therefore, there is no need to increase the thickness of the first shell 11 to avoid interference between the front camera and the main screen 22 and the sub-screen 21, so that the first shell 11 of the foldable electronic device can be smaller, thereby reducing the thickness of the foldable electronic device when it is in a folded state, thereby improving the user experience.

[0048] The front camera includes a first body 43 and a first lens 44 connected to the first body 43 . One end of the first body 43 and one end of the first lens 44 are respectively located in the first recessed portion 221 a and the second recessed portion 211 a .

[0049] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG5 , the front camera may include a first front camera 41 and a second front camera 42 disposed on the first housing 11 . The first front camera 41 and the second front camera 42 are spaced apart along the width direction X or the length direction of the foldable electronic device. The projection of the first front camera 41 along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device and the projection of the second front camera 42 along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device do not overlap. As shown in FIG6 and FIG7 , the first front camera 41 and the second front camera 42 each include a first body 43 and a first lens 44. Along the thickness direction of the foldable electronic device, the first lens 44 of the first front camera 41 and the first lens 44 of the second front camera 42 face opposite directions. The first and second front cameras 41, 42 facing opposite directions enable a user to take selfies or make video calls from two directions along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device.

[0050] As shown in FIG6 , the first lens 44 of the first front-facing camera 41 faces one end of the secondary screen 21, allowing the user to take selfies or make video calls on the side of the secondary screen 21. The first front-facing camera 41 is usable in both the unfolded and folded states of the foldable electronic device. As shown in FIG7 , the first lens 44 of the second front-facing camera 42 faces one end of the main screen 22, allowing the user to take selfies or make video calls on the side of the main screen 22.

[0051] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the main screen 22 is provided with two first recessed portions 221a, and the two first recessed portions 221a are distributed along the width direction X or the length direction of the foldable electronic device. The secondary screen 21 is provided with two second recessed portions 211a, and the two second recessed portions 211a are distributed along the width direction X or the length direction of the foldable electronic device. At the same time, along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device, the first recessed portion 221a and the second recessed portion 211a are arranged opposite each other, and their projections along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device at least partially overlap. One of the first recessed portion 221a and the second recessed portion 211a arranged opposite each other are respectively used to accommodate the two ends of the first front camera 41, and the other first recessed portion 221a and the other second recessed portion 211a arranged opposite each other are respectively used to accommodate the two ends of the second front camera 42.

[0052] The first front camera 41 and the second front camera 42 may be cameras with the same structure or cameras with different structures.

[0053] Specifically, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the main screen 22 includes a first display module 221 and a first cover plate 222, with the first cover plate 222 covering the outside of the first display module 221. The secondary screen 21 includes a second display module 211 and a second cover plate 212, with the second cover plate 212 covering the outside of the second display module 211. The first display module 221 and the second display module 211 include a stacked structure for display, with the first cover plate 222 used to protect the first display module 221, and the second cover plate 212 used to protect the second display module 211. In the above embodiments, the first recessed portion 221a provided on the main screen 22 passes through at least a portion of the first display module 221, and the first cover plate 221 covers the first recessed portion 221a; the second recessed portion 211a provided on the secondary screen 21 passes through at least a portion of the second display module 211, and the second cover plate 222 covers the second recessed portion 211a, thereby protecting the front camera by the first cover plate 221 and the second cover plate 222.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, the first recessed portion 221a can be a through hole passing through the first display module 221, and / or the second recessed portion 211a can be a through hole passing through the second display module 211. When the thickness of the main screen 22 and the secondary screen 21 are the same, there is a larger thickness space for accommodating the front camera, thereby further reducing the thickness of the first shell 111.

[0055] In other embodiments, the first recessed portion 221 a may only penetrate a portion of the stacked structure of the first display module 221 , and the second recessed portion 211 a may only penetrate a portion of the stacked structure of the second display module 211 .

[0056] In the embodiment shown in FIG6 , a portion of the first lens 44 of the first front-facing camera 41 is located within the through-hole (second recessed portion 211a) of the second display module 211. This through-hole not only allows the first front-facing camera 41 to be positioned away from the viewfinder, but also enables the first lens 44 of the first front-facing camera 41 to capture images from one side of the secondary screen 21. In the embodiment shown in FIG7 , a portion of the first lens 44 of the second front-facing camera 32 is located within the through-hole (first recessed portion 221a) of the first display module 221. This through-hole not only allows the second front-facing camera 42 to be positioned away from the viewfinder, but also enables the first lens 44 of the second front-facing camera 42 to capture images from one side of the primary screen 22.

[0057] In some embodiments, the foldable electronic device may include only one front-facing camera, for example, only the first front-facing camera 41 or only the second front-facing camera 42. This application does not limit the number of front-facing cameras. Furthermore, when the foldable electronic device includes only one front-facing camera, the main screen 22 may have only one first recessed portion 221a, and the secondary screen 21 may have only one second recessed portion 211a.

[0058] In addition, as shown in Figure 3, the foldable electronic device also includes a rear camera 5, which is arranged along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device. The rear camera 5 and the main screen 22 are distributed along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device. In this embodiment, the rear camera 5 and the front camera are located in different housings, that is, the rear camera 5 is not located in the first housing 111. The main screen 22 and the secondary screen 21 connected to the first housing 111 are located on either side of the first housing 111 along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device. When the rear camera 5 is not located in the first housing 111, the larger rear camera 5 does not occupy the space of the secondary screen 21, allowing the secondary screen 21 to have a larger display area, improving the user experience. In addition, when the rear camera 5 is located in a housing outside the first housing 111, the layout of the various cameras in the foldable electronic device is optimized, effectively utilizing the space in the foldable electronic device.

[0059] In the embodiment shown in Figures 3 and 4, the foldable electronic device includes three shells, namely a first shell 11, a second shell 12, and a third shell 13. The third shell 13 is located between the first shell 11 and the second shell 12. The third shell 13 and the first shell 11, and the third shell 13 and the second shell 12 are connected by a folding assembly, so that the third shell 13 and the first shell 11, and the third shell 13 and the second shell 12 can rotate relative to each other to achieve the unfolding or folding of the foldable electronic device. The main screen 22 is connected to the first shell 11, the second shell 12, and the third shell 13, and the auxiliary screen 21 is connected to the first shell 11. The front camera (the first front camera 41 and / or the second front camera 42) can be set in the first shell 11, and the rear camera 5 can be set in the third shell 13. The folding assemblies set between the third shell 13 and the first shell 11 and between the third shell 13 and the second shell 12 can be the same or different.

[0060] When the foldable electronic device shown in Figures 3 and 4 is in a folded state, the second housing 12 is located between the first housing 11 and the third housing 13 along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device, that is, the first housing 11, the second housing 12, and the third housing 13 are stacked along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device. In this embodiment, when the first recessed portion 221a and the second recessed portion 211a are respectively provided on the portion of the main screen 22 and the auxiliary screen 21 provided on the first housing 11, interference with the front camera and the main screen 22 and the auxiliary screen 21 can be avoided, and the thickness of the first housing 11 can be reduced, thereby reducing the thickness of the electronic device in the unfolded state and the thickness of the electronic device in the folded state. In particular, when the foldable electronic device includes a three-fold structure (including three housings), the reduced thickness of the first housing 11 can significantly reduce the thickness of the electronic device in the folded state.

[0061] In other embodiments, the foldable electronic device may further include two housings, that is, the foldable electronic device may further have a two-fold structure. Therefore, this application does not limit the number of housings of the foldable electronic device and the specific folding method.

[0062] In another specific embodiment, as shown in Figures 8-11, the foldable electronic device includes at least a first front camera 41, and the housing connected to the first front camera 41 is the first housing 11. Specifically, the first front camera 41 is mounted on the first middle frame 111 of the first housing 11. When the foldable electronic device is in the unfolded state, as shown in Figure 9, the screen 2 is fixedly connected to the same side of each housing along the thickness direction Z.

[0063] As shown in Figure 11, which is a partial cross-sectional view of Figure 10, Figure 11 shows a schematic diagram of the first housing, the first front camera 41, and the second housing. The screen 2 is provided with a third recessed portion 6, which is recessed on the side of the first housing 11 along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device facing away from the first housing 11. The first housing 11 is provided with a first groove 113 on the side facing away from the screen 2 along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device. The third recessed portion 6 and the first groove 113 correspond to each other along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device, that is, their projections along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device at least partially overlap. Along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device, the first front camera 41 is located at its ends in the third recessed portion 6 and the first groove 113, respectively. At this time, the third recessed portion 6 and the first groove 113 can avoid the first front camera 41, so that the first front camera 41 can be installed to avoid interference with the screen 2 and the first shell 11, thereby eliminating the need to increase the thickness of the first shell 11 to avoid interference between the first front camera 41 and the screen 2 and the first shell 11, so that the first shell 11 of the foldable electronic device can be smaller, thereby reducing the thickness of the foldable electronic device when it is in a folded state, thereby improving the user experience.

[0064] Among them, the first front camera 41 can include a first body 43 and a first lens 44 connected to the first body 43, one end of the first lens 44 of the first front camera 41 is located in the third recessed portion 6, and one end of the first body 43 of the first front camera 41 is located in the first groove 113.

[0065] In the embodiment shown in FIG11 , the screen 2 can be the main screen, and the third recessed portion 6 can be a through hole that penetrates the first display module 221 of the main screen. A portion of the first lens 44 of the first front camera 41 is located within the through hole (third recessed portion 6) of the first display module 221. This through hole not only allows the first front camera 41 to be hidden, but also allows the first lens 44 of the first front camera 41 to shoot from one side of the main screen. The first groove 113 provided in the first housing 11 has a storage space for accommodating a portion of the first body 43 of the first front camera 41. The bottom wall of the first groove 113 can be used to protect the first body 43 of the first front camera 41 and prevent the first body 43 of the first front camera 41 from being exposed, thereby improving the appearance of the first housing 11.

[0066] Specifically, as shown in Figure 11, along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device, the bottom wall of the first groove 113 is raised relative to the surface of the first back cover 112 of the first shell 11 on the side away from the screen 2, thereby increasing the installation space in the first shell 11 along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device, facilitating the installation of the first front camera 41 without increasing the overall thickness of the first shell 11, and further without increasing the thickness of the foldable electronic device in the folded state.

[0067] More specifically, as shown in Figures 8 and 11, the housing also includes a second housing 12. When the foldable electronic device is in the folded state, the second housing 12 is adjacent to the first housing 11, that is, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are stacked along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device, and the second housing 12 is located on the side of the first housing 11 facing away from the screen 2. The second housing 12 is provided with a second groove 123. Along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device, the second groove 123 is recessed toward the side facing away from the first housing 11. When the foldable electronic device is in the folded state, the bottom wall of the first groove 113 is located within the second groove 123. Therefore, the second groove 123 is used to avoid the raised bottom wall of the first groove 113, thereby further reducing the thickness of the foldable electronic device in the folded state.

[0068] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 11, the first housing 11 includes a first middle frame 111 and a first back cover 112 connected to the first middle frame 111. The second housing 12 includes a second middle frame 121 and a second back cover 122 connected to the second middle frame 121. Along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device, the first back cover 112 and the second back cover 122 are located on the side facing away from the screen 2. In this embodiment, when the foldable electronic device is in the folded state, the first back cover 112 is close to the second back cover 122, that is, the screen 2 connected to the first housing 11 and the screen connected to the second housing 12 are separated from each other. The first groove 113 is provided in the first back cover 112, and the second groove 123 is provided in the second back cover 122.

[0069] In this embodiment, the screen 2 of the foldable electronic device includes only a main screen 22. As shown in Figure 9, when the foldable electronic device is in the unfolded state, the main screen 22 is approximately located in the same plane. As shown in Figure 10, when the foldable electronic device is in the folded state, the main screen 22 connected to the first housing 11 is partially exposed, serving as the secondary screen of the foldable electronic device in the folded state. In this case, the foldable electronic device does not need to be equipped with a separate secondary screen, thereby simplifying the structure of the electronic device and reducing costs. The screen connected to the housing other than the first housing 11 is located in the space formed after the housings are folded.

[0070] Specifically, as shown in FIG9 , the foldable electronic device may include a first shell 11, a second shell 12, and a third shell 13. When the foldable electronic device is in the unfolded state, the second shell 12 is located between the first shell 11 and the third shell 13, and the second shell 12 and the first shell 11, and the second shell 12 and the third shell 13 are all connected by a folding assembly 3. The folding assembly 3 between the second shell 12 and the first shell 11, and between the second shell 12 and the third shell 13 can be the same or different. As shown in FIG10 , when the foldable electronic device is in the folded state, along the thickness direction Z, the second shell 12 is located between the first shell 11 and the third shell 13, that is, the first shell 11, the second shell 12, and the third shell 13 are stacked along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device.

[0071] In this embodiment, when the first back cover 112 of the first shell 11 is provided with a first groove 113 and the second back cover 122 of the second shell 12 is provided with a second groove 123, the first front camera 41 can be prevented from interfering with the first back cover 112, and the bottom wall of the first groove 113 can be prevented from interfering with the second back cover 122, thereby reducing the thickness of the first shell 11, and then reducing the thickness of the electronic device in the unfolded state, and reducing the thickness of the electronic device in the folded state. In particular, when the foldable electronic device includes a three-fold structure (including three shells), the above-mentioned first groove 113 and second groove 123 can significantly reduce the thickness of the electronic device in the folded state.

[0072] In other embodiments, the foldable electronic device may further include two housings, that is, the foldable electronic device may further have a two-fold structure. Therefore, this application does not limit the number of housings of the foldable electronic device and the specific folding method.

[0073] In addition, as shown in FIG8 , the foldable electronic device in this embodiment further includes a rear camera 5, which is disposed in the third housing 13, that is, in a different housing from the first groove 113 and the second groove 123, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the rear camera 5, the first front camera 41, the first groove 113 and the second groove 123. In the embodiment shown in FIG8-11 , the foldable electronic device includes a front camera (the first front camera 41). In other embodiments, the foldable electronic device may further include a second front camera, which may be disposed in the first housing 11 together with the first front camera, or in a different housing from the first camera 41. This application does not limit the number of front cameras.

[0074] In other embodiments, as shown in Figures 12-15, the foldable electronic device includes at least a first front camera 41, and the shell connected to the first front camera 41 is a first shell 11. Specifically, the first front camera 41 is installed on the first middle frame 111 of the first shell 11.

[0075] As shown in Figure 15, Figure 15 is a partial cross-sectional view of Figure 14, which shows the first shell, the first front camera 41 and the rear camera 5. The main screen 22 connected to the first shell 11 is provided with a third recessed portion 6, which is recessed on the side away from the first shell 11 along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device. A first groove 113 is provided on the side of the first shell 11 away from the main screen 22. The third recessed portion 6 corresponds to the first groove 113 along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device. Along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device, the first groove 113 is recessed toward the side away from the main screen 22. The two ends of the first front camera 41 along the thickness direction of the foldable electronic device are located at the third recessed portion 6 and the first groove 113, respectively. At this time, the third recessed portion 6 and the first groove 113 can avoid the first front camera 41, so that the first front camera 41 can be installed to avoid interference with the main screen 22 and the first shell 11, thereby eliminating the need to increase the thickness of the first shell 11 to avoid interference between the first front camera 41 and the main screen 22 and the first shell 11, so that the first shell 11 of the foldable electronic device can be smaller, thereby reducing the thickness of the foldable electronic device when it is in a folded state, thereby improving the user experience.

[0076] Among them, the first front camera 41 can include a first body 43 and a first lens 44 connected to the first body 43, one end of the first lens 44 of the first front camera 41 is located in the third recessed portion 6, and one end of the first body 43 of the first front camera 41 is located in the first groove 113.

[0077] In the embodiment shown in FIG15 , the third recessed portion 6 can be a through hole extending through the first display module 221 of the main screen. A portion of the first lens 44 of the first front-facing camera 41 is located within the through hole (third recessed portion 6) of the first display module 221. This through hole not only allows the first front-facing camera 41 to be positioned away from the main screen, but also allows the first lens 44 of the first front-facing camera 41 to capture images from one side of the main screen. The first groove 113 provided in the first housing 11 has a storage space for accommodating a portion of the first body 43 of the first front-facing camera 41. The bottom wall of the first groove 113 can protect the first body 43 of the first front-facing camera 41 and prevent the first body 43 of the first front-facing camera 41 from being exposed, thereby improving the appearance of the first housing 11.

[0078] Specifically, as shown in Figures 14 and 15, the foldable electronic device may further include a rear camera 5, and the rear camera 5 is disposed in the first housing 11, that is, the rear camera 5 and the first front camera 41 are disposed in the same housing, and the rear camera 5 and the first front camera 41 are spaced apart along the width direction X or the length direction of the foldable electronic device. The first housing 11 includes a first middle frame 111, a first back cover 112, and a decorative member 14. The first back cover 112 is connected to the first middle frame 111 and is located on the side of the first middle frame 111 facing away from the main screen. The first back cover 112 is provided with a mounting hole, through which the decorative member 14 is mounted to the first back cover 112. The decorative member 14 is a decorative member for the rear camera 5 and is used to protect the rear camera.

[0079] In this embodiment, the first groove 113 is provided on the decorative member 14. Specifically, the decorative member 14 is recessed away from the main screen, forming a space for accommodating a portion of the first front-facing camera 41 and a portion of the rear-facing camera 5. This not only protects the first front-facing camera 41 and the rear-facing camera 5 through the decorative member 14, but also effectively utilizes the space within the decorative member 14 for arranging the first front-facing camera 41, eliminating the need for a first groove 11 elsewhere in the first housing 11 and thus ensuring the integrity of the first housing 11. The first groove 113 can be continuous along the width direction X of the foldable electronic device, with portions of the first front-facing camera 41 and portions of the rear-facing camera 5 both located within the first groove 113. Alternatively, the first groove can be discontinuous along the width direction X of the foldable electronic device, i.e., it can include two first grooves 113 spaced apart along the width direction X of the foldable electronic device, with portions of the first front-facing camera 41 and portions of the rear-facing camera 5 located within each of the first grooves 113.

[0080] In the embodiment shown in FIG15 , the rear camera 5 may include a second body 51 and a second lens 52 connected to the second body 51. The main screen connected to the first housing 11 is provided with two third recesses 6. A portion of the first lens 44 of the first front camera 41 is located within one third recess 6. The first body 43 of the first front camera 41 is located within the first groove 113 of the decorative element 14. The second lens 52 of the rear camera 5 is located within the first groove 113 of the decorative element 14. The second body 51 is located within the other third recess 6. Therefore, the first lens 44 of the first front camera 41 and the second lens 52 of the rear camera 5 face opposite directions.

[0081] In the embodiment shown in Figure 15 , the third recessed portion 6 can be a through hole extending through the first display module 221 of the main screen. A portion of the first lens 44 of the first front-facing camera 41 is located within the through hole (third recessed portion 6) of the first display module 221. This through hole not only allows the first front-facing camera 41 to be positioned away from the main screen, but also enables the first lens 44 of the first front-facing camera 41 to capture images from one side of the main screen. The first groove 113 provided in the decorative member 14 has a storage space for a portion of the first body 43 of the first front-facing camera 41. The decorative member 14 prevents the first body 43 of the first front-facing camera 41 from being exposed, thereby improving the appearance of the first housing 11.

[0082] In the embodiment shown in Figures 12 and 13, the screen of the foldable electronic device includes a main screen 22 and a secondary screen 21. The main screen 22 is a flexible screen and is fixedly connected (for example, bonded) to each shell. The secondary screen 22 can be a flexible screen or a non-flexible screen. The secondary screen 21 and the first front camera 41 and the rear camera 5 are arranged in different shells, that is, the secondary screen 21 is not arranged in the first shell 11. When the foldable electronic device is in the unfolded state, the main screen 22 is used for large-screen display. When the foldable electronic device is in the folded state, as shown in Figure 14, the main screen 22 is located in the space formed by the folding of each shell, and the secondary screen 21 is exposed. At this time, the secondary screen 21 is used for display, so that the foldable electronic device can still display when it is in the folded state.

[0083] In the embodiment shown in Figures 12 and 13, the foldable electronic device includes three shells, namely a first shell 11, a second shell 12, and a third shell 13. The first shell 11 is located between the second shell 12 and the third shell 13. The third shell 13 and the first shell 11, and the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are connected by a folding assembly, so that the third shell 13 and the first shell 11, and the third shell 13 and the second shell 12 can all rotate relative to each other to achieve the unfolding or folding of the foldable electronic device. The main screen 22 is connected to the first shell 11, the second shell 12, and the third shell 13, and the secondary screen 21 is connected to the third shell 13. The first front camera 41 and the rear camera 5 are set in the first shell 11. The folding assemblies set between the third shell 13 and the first shell 11, and between the third shell 13 and the second shell 12 can be the same or different.

[0084] In addition, the foldable electronic device in this embodiment may further include a second front camera 42, which may be disposed in the third housing 13. The main screen 22 and the secondary screen 21 are respectively connected at both ends of the third housing 13 along the thickness direction Z, i.e., the second front camera 42 and the secondary screen 21 are connected to the same housing. In this case, the main screen 22 connected to the third housing 13 is provided with a fourth recessed portion, which is recessed in a direction away from the secondary screen 21 along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device. The secondary screen 21 connected to the third housing 13 is provided with a fifth recessed portion, which is recessed in a direction away from the main screen 22 along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device. The second front camera 42 is located in the fourth recess and the fifth recess at both ends along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device, respectively. At this time, the fourth recess and the fifth recess can avoid the second front camera 42, so that the second front camera 42 can be installed to avoid interference with the main screen 22 and the sub-screen 21. Therefore, there is no need to increase the thickness of the third shell 13 to avoid interference between the second front camera 42 and the main screen 22 and the sub-screen 21, so that the thickness of the third shell 13 of the foldable electronic device can be smaller, thereby reducing the thickness of the foldable electronic device when it is in a folded state, thereby improving the user experience.

[0085] Therefore, in the embodiment shown in Figure 15 , a first groove 113 is provided on the decorative member 14 of the first housing 11, and a third recessed portion 6 is provided on the screen connected to the first housing 11. This allows for the convenient installation of the first front-facing camera 41 while reducing the thickness of the first housing 11. Furthermore, a fourth recessed portion and a fifth recessed portion are provided on the main screen 22 and the auxiliary screen 21 connected to the third housing 13, respectively. This allows for the convenient installation of the second front-facing camera 42 while reducing the thickness of the third housing 13. In summary, in this embodiment, the thickness of both the first housing 11 and the third housing 13 of the foldable electronic device are relatively small, thereby reducing the thickness of the foldable electronic device when in its folded state.

[0086] Specifically, as shown in Figure 14, when the foldable electronic device is in a folded state, the second shell 12 is located between the first shell 11 and the third shell 13 along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device, that is, the third shell 13, the second shell 12 and the first shell 11 are stacked along the thickness direction Z of the foldable electronic device.

[0087] In other embodiments, the foldable electronic device may further include two housings, that is, the foldable electronic device may further have a two-fold structure. Therefore, this application does not limit the number of housings of the foldable electronic device and the specific folding method.

[0088] The above description is merely a specific implementation of the embodiments of the present application, but the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the embodiments of the present application shall be included in the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application shall be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
