Description

electronic devices

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202410592404.8, filed on May 10, 2024, entitled "Electronic Device", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of electronic technology, and more particularly to an electronic device. Background Technology

[0003] With the development of technology, electronic devices (such as laptops and tablets) are being used more and more widely in people's daily lives. However, the large bezels on the screens of traditional electronic devices result in a low screen-to-body ratio, poor visual effects, and seriously affect the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides an electronic device that can solve the technical problems of large black borders and low screen-to-body ratio of existing electronic devices.

[0005] This application provides an electronic device. The electronic device includes a host, a display, and a hinge. The hinge connects the host and the display, enabling the display to rotate relative to the host, thus allowing the display to open or close relative to the host, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the electronic device.

[0006] The display includes a housing, a buffer, and a display screen. The housing includes a base plate and side plates. The side plates are connected to the outer periphery of the base plate and together with the base plate form a receiving groove. The opening of the receiving groove is opposite to the base plate. The display screen includes a display panel. The display panel is mounted in the receiving groove and connected to the housing. The back of the display panel faces the bottom wall of the receiving groove, and the display surface of the display panel faces the opening of the receiving groove.

[0007] The buffer includes an elastic portion. The buffer is mounted in a receiving groove. The elastic portion is located between the display panel and the side wall of the receiving groove, and is disposed opposite to the outer peripheral surface of the display panel. Along the thickness direction of the display panel, the size of the elastic portion is greater than or equal to the size of the display panel.

[0008] The elastic part is made of soft rubber or elastic foam. For example, the elastic part can be made of thermoplastic elastomers, such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), thermoplastic styrene elastomers (TPE), and polyester elastomers (TPEE). Alternatively, the elastic part can be made of silicone or other polymer materials.

[0009] In this embodiment, by providing a buffer between the display screen and the housing, and with the elastic part of the buffer located on the outer periphery of the display panel, the elastic part protects and cushions the display panel, preventing the display panel from being squeezed, bent, wrinkled, or malfunctioning when the electronic device is dropped or impacted, thereby improving the drop resistance and durability of the electronic device.

[0010] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the display panel can be protected and buffered by setting the elastic part, eliminating the need for an additional traditional glass cover, thus reducing weight and facilitating the thinning of electronic devices. At the same time, there is no need to reserve space for fixing the cover, thereby reducing the width of the black border of the display, which is conducive to achieving a narrow bezel of the display, thereby increasing the screen-to-body ratio and improving the user experience.

[0011] The side panel includes a first side panel, a second side panel, a third side panel, and a fourth side panel. The first side panel and the second side panel are arranged opposite each other along the length direction of the electronic device, and the third side panel and the fourth side panel are arranged opposite each other along the width direction of the electronic device, and are both connected between the first side panel and the second side panel.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the projection of the display panel is entirely located within the elastic portion along the length of the display panel. It is understood that the elastic portion is located between the first side panel and the display panel, and between the second side panel and the display panel.

[0013] In this embodiment, by providing elastic portions on both sides of the display panel in the width direction, the area of ​​the elastic portions can be increased, thereby improving the protection effect on the display panel.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the elastic portion includes a first segment, a third segment, and a second segment connected in sequence. The first segment is disposed between the first side panel and the display panel, the second segment is disposed between the second side panel and the display panel, and the third segment is disposed between the third side panel and the display panel.

[0015] In this embodiment, by providing elastic portions on three sides of the display panel, the area of ​​the elastic portions can be further increased, thereby further improving the protection effect on the display panel.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the elastic portion includes a first outer surface and a first inner surface disposed opposite to each other, the first outer surface facing the sidewall of the receiving groove, and the first inner surface facing the outer peripheral surface of the display panel. The outer peripheral surface of the display panel and the first inner surface are spaced apart along a direction parallel to the surface of the display panel.

[0017] It is understandable that the gap between the display panel and the elastic part can provide deformation space for the elastic part, thereby preventing the elastic part from directly squeezing the display panel, or reducing the amount of squeezing of the display panel by the elastic part, thus improving the protection of the display panel and preventing the display panel from being squeezed and affecting the display effect.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the elastic portion includes a first top surface located on the side of the elastic portion facing away from the bottom wall of the receiving groove. The side plate includes a second top surface located on the side plate facing away from the bottom plate. The elastic portion protrudes from the side plate along the thickness direction of the display screen. That is, the first top surface of the elastic portion protrudes from the second top surface in the thickness direction of the display screen. In other words, the first top surface is located on the side of the second top surface away from the bottom plate.

[0019] In this embodiment, by setting the elastic part to protrude from the side plate, when the electronic device is in the closed state, the elastic part contacts the host first, thereby avoiding direct contact between the metal casing and the host, preventing wear on the casing of the electronic device, and reducing abnormal noise generated by the electronic device during the closing process. At the same time, when the user touches the surface of the display, the elastic part contacts the elastic part first. The elastic part is made of soft rubber, which can reduce the scratchy feeling and improve the user experience.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the side plate further includes a second inner surface and a second outer surface. The second inner surface and the second outer surface are disposed opposite each other along the thickness direction of the side plate, and the second inner surface is located within the receiving groove. A second top surface connects the second inner surface and the second outer surface, and the distance from the end of the second top surface connected to the second outer surface to the bottom plate is less than the distance from the end of the second top surface connected to the second inner surface to the bottom plate.

[0021] It is understandable that when a user uses an electronic device, they view the display screen from its display side. At this time, the display side of the screen and the portion of the housing facing the same direction as the display side are within the user's field of vision. In this embodiment, by setting one end connecting the second top surface and the second outer surface to be inclined towards the bottom plate, at least part of the first top surface is not within the field of vision. This reduces the thickness of the side plate seen by the user, that is, it reduces the size of the bezel at the edge of the display, thus visually narrowing the black border and improving the user experience.

[0022] In one possible implementation, the display panel includes a display portion, a first protective portion, and a second protective portion. The display portion includes a substrate, a display layer, and an encapsulation layer stacked sequentially. The substrate supports the display layer. The display layer includes a light-emitting portion and a driving portion. The light-emitting portion includes multiple sets of pixel units. Each set of pixel units includes pixels emitting red light, pixels emitting green light, and pixels emitting blue light. The driving portion is provided with multiple driving circuits. Each pixel corresponds to one driving circuit. Each driving circuit controls whether the corresponding pixel emits light and the intensity of the light emitted, thereby controlling the color and intensity of the light emitted by each set of pixel units, thus enabling the light-emitting portion to form text, images, and videos, etc.

[0023] The display layer is located on the front side of the substrate, the driving unit is located on the side closer to the substrate and is fixedly connected to the substrate, and the light-emitting unit is located on the side farther from the substrate. An encapsulation layer is stacked on the display layer on the side closer to the light-emitting unit and is fixedly connected to the display layer. The encapsulation layer has good sealing performance, preventing external oxygen and moisture from entering the display layer and protecting it.

[0024] The second protective portion is disposed around the outer periphery of the display layer and is fixedly connected to the substrate and the encapsulation layer. The first protective portion is connected to the outer periphery of the display portion, that is, disposed around the outer periphery of the substrate, the outer periphery of the display layer, and the outer periphery of the encapsulation layer. Furthermore, the first protective portion is spaced apart from the first inner surface. In this embodiment, the first protective portion is a side seam adhesive. The first protective portion can provide cushioning protection for the display panel.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the display screen further includes a protective layer. The protective layer is laminated onto the display surface of the display panel and fixedly connected to the display panel. Along a direction parallel to the surface of the display panel, the distance from the outer peripheral surface of the protective layer to the first inner surface is less than the distance from the outer peripheral surface of the display panel to the first inner surface. That is, along a direction parallel to the protective layer, the protective layer protrudes from the display panel, and the outer peripheral surface of the protective layer protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the display panel.

[0026] In this embodiment, when the elastic part presses the display screen, the elastic part first contacts the protective layer, thereby avoiding the elastic part from directly pressing the display panel, further enhancing the protection of the display panel, and preventing the display panel from being squeezed and affecting the display effect.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the display screen further includes a shielding portion disposed at the edge of the protective layer. The projection of the shielding portion covers the edge of the display panel along its thickness direction. Specifically, the shielding portion covers the first and second protective portions along the thickness direction of the display panel. That is, the orthographic projection of the shielding portion along the thickness direction of the display panel coincides with both the first and second protective portions.

[0028] It should be noted that during actual use, the metal layer at the bottom of the second protective part of the electronic device will reflect light, resulting in bright lines that can affect the display effect. In this embodiment, by providing a shielding part, the first protective part, the second protective part, and the metal layer at the bottom of the second protective part can be shielded, which means that the bright lines at the edge of the display screen can be shielded, thereby improving the display effect and enhancing the user experience.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the display screen further includes a touch layer. The touch layer is disposed between the display panel and the protective layer and is electrically connected to the motherboard of the electronic device.

[0030] When a user touches the display screen, the electrical properties of the touch layer (such as resistance and capacitance) change, and this change is transmitted to the motherboard inside the electronic device. The motherboard controls the content displayed on the screen, enabling the screen to recognize and respond to the user's touch operation, thus realizing the touch function of the display screen and increasing the ease of use of the electronic device.

[0031] The protective layer comprises an anti-fingerprint layer, a wear-resistant layer, a body layer, and an adhesive layer, stacked sequentially. The body layer is a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film. In other embodiments, the body layer can also be a transparent film material of other types. Alternatively, the body layer can be an explosion-proof film. The adhesive layer is stacked on the back of the body layer for bonding and fixing to the display panel. The wear-resistant layer is located on the front of the body layer, i.e., on the side of the body layer facing away from the adhesive layer. The wear-resistant layer enhances the wear resistance and scratch resistance of the protective layer. The anti-fingerprint layer is stacked on the side of the wear-resistant layer facing away from the body layer to enhance the fingerprint resistance of the protective layer.

[0032] A protective layer is stacked on the side of the polarizing layer facing away from the touch layer, while the adhesive layer faces the display panel. In this embodiment, by setting a protective layer, the touch layer can be protected, while also reducing the return loss of the display screen and improving the touch accuracy and sensitivity of the display screen.

[0033] In one possible implementation, the electronic device further includes an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer can be a pull-tab adhesive or other adhesive material. The adhesive layer is bonded between the housing and the display screen to secure the display screen.

[0034] In this embodiment, the display screen is fixedly connected via an adhesive layer, eliminating the need for additional fixing structures to secure the display screen within the receiving slot, thus simplifying the structure and manufacturing process of the electronic device. Furthermore, the use of easy-pull adhesive as the adhesive layer in this embodiment enhances the bonding stability between the display screen and the housing.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the elastic portion includes a body and an extension, the body and the extension being connected to each other, and the included angle between the body and the extension being greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees. The body is disposed opposite to the sidewall of the receiving groove, and the extension is disposed opposite to and fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove.

[0036] In this embodiment, the buffer is the elastic part, which can simplify the manufacturing process of the buffer and thus reduce the production cost of electronic devices.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the buffer further includes a support portion. The support portion is fixedly connected to the elastic portion, and the hardness of the support portion is greater than the hardness of the elastic portion. The support portion is disposed opposite to and fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the receiving groove.

[0038] In this embodiment, by providing a support portion for the buffer and fixing the support portion to the housing, the bonding stability between the buffer and the housing can be improved, thereby reducing the deformation of the elastic portion toward the display panel and thus reducing or even avoiding the elastic portion from squeezing the display screen.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the elastic portion has a groove on its surface facing the support portion, and the outer peripheral surface of the support portion has a protrusion. The protrusion is located within the groove and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove.

[0040] In this embodiment, by providing a groove in the elastic part and a protrusion in the support part that mates with the groove, the connection area between the elastic part and the support part can be increased, thereby improving the connection stability between the elastic part and the support part, as well as the structural stability of the buffer.

[0041] The cushioning component can be manufactured using a two-color injection molding process. Specifically, the raw materials for the elastic part and the support part are injected sequentially into the same mold, and then the cushioning component is formed. After molding, the elastic part and the support part are fixed together by fusion bonding, which can improve the connection stability between the elastic part and the support part, as well as the structural stability of the cushioning component.

[0042] In one possible implementation, the adhesive layer is bonded between the bottom wall of the receiving groove and the back surface of the display panel, and the support portion surrounds the outer periphery of the adhesive layer. It is understood that in this embodiment, the support portion has a ring-shaped structure, which can save material.

[0043] In one possible implementation, the adhesive layer is bonded between the support portion and the display panel. In this embodiment, the support portion is a solid plate-like structure. In this embodiment, the support portion has a larger area, which increases the bonding area between the support portion and the base plate, that is, it increases the bonding area between the buffer component and the housing. This improves the connection stability between the buffer component and the housing, and also reduces or even prevents deformation of the elastic portion towards the display screen, further preventing pressure on the display screen and affecting its display effect.

[0044] In one possible implementation, the housing includes a fixing portion, which includes a first inclined surface. The first inclined surface intersects the thickness direction of the display panel. The fixing portion is disposed within a receiving groove and fixed to the connection between the bottom wall and the side wall of the receiving groove, with the first inclined surface facing the receiving groove. The elastic portion has a second inclined surface, which is parallel to and fixedly connected to the first inclined surface.

[0045] In this embodiment, by setting the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface to be fixedly connected to each other, the buffer is subjected to a force perpendicular to the second inclined surface and in the direction away from the display panel. This force can prevent the elastic part from deforming in the direction of the display panel, thereby preventing the elastic part from squeezing the display panel. At the same time, it can also increase the bonding area between the buffer and the housing, thereby improving the connection stability between the buffer and the housing, and thus improving the structural stability of the electronic device.

[0046] In summary, this application, by incorporating a buffer between the display screen and the housing, with the elastic portion of the buffer located on the outer periphery of the display panel, provides protection and cushioning for the display panel. This prevents the display panel from being squeezed, bent, wrinkled, or malfunctioning when the electronic device is dropped or impacted, thereby improving the drop resistance and durability of the electronic device. Furthermore, the electronic device provided in this application eliminates the need for a traditional glass cover, reducing weight and facilitating a thinner and lighter design. Simultaneously, the elimination of space required for a cover allows for a smaller bezel, enabling a narrower screen-to-body ratio and enhancing the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0065] The embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic device 100 provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0067] Electronic device 100 includes, but is not limited to, electronic products such as notebook computers, tablet personal computers, laptop computers, personal digital assistants, or wearable devices. The following description uses a notebook computer as an example of electronic device 100.

[0068] Electronic device 100 includes a host 2, a display 1, and a hinge 3. The host 2 is used to execute information, and the display 1 is used to display the results of information processing executed by the host 2. The hinge 3 connects the host 2 and the display 1, allowing the display 1 to rotate relative to the host 2, thus enabling the display 1 to open or close relative to the host 2, thereby opening or closing the electronic device 100. For example, the edge of the display 1 is connected to the hinge 3, and the edge of the host 2 has a rotating groove that mates with the hinge 3. The hinge 3 is installed in the rotating groove and can rotate within it, allowing the display 1 to open or close relative to the host 2.

[0069] Please refer to Figures 2 and 3. Figure 2 is a partially exploded structural diagram of the electronic device 100 shown in Figure 1 in the first embodiment, and Figure 3 is a partially cross-sectional structural diagram of the electronic device 100 shown in Figure 2.

[0070] For ease of description, in this application, the length direction of the display 1 in the electronic device 100 is defined as the X direction, the width direction of the display 1 is defined as the Y direction, and the thickness direction of the display 1 is defined as the Z direction. The X, Y, and Z directions are perpendicular to each other.

[0071] The display 1 includes a housing 10, a display screen 30, and a fastener 50. The housing 10 includes a base plate 11 and a side plate 12, with the side plate 12 fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the base plate 11. The base plate 11 and the side plate 12 together form a receiving groove 101, with the opening of the receiving groove 101 facing the base plate 11.

[0072] In this embodiment, the fastener 50 is made of rigid plastic. For example, the fastener 50 may be made of PC / ABS (polycarbonate / acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) composite material or PC / glass fiber composite material. The fastener 50 has an approximately door-shaped structure. The fastener 50 is installed in the receiving groove 101, arranged along the side plate 12, and fixedly connected to the housing 10. That is, the fastener 50 is arranged parallel to the side plate 12.

[0073] The display screen 30 includes a display panel 32 and a cover plate 36. The display panel 32 is mounted in a receiving groove 101, with its back side facing the base plate 11 and its display surface facing the opening of the receiving groove 101. Along a direction parallel to the surface of the display panel 32, the projection of the display panel 32 is at least partially located within the fixing member 50.

[0074] In this embodiment, the cover plate 36 is a glass cover plate. The cover plate 36 is fixed to the display surface of the display panel 32 and is fixedly connected to the display panel 32. Specifically, the cover plate 36 can be fixedly connected to the display panel 32 using OCA optical adhesive. The cover plate 36 covers the surface of the display panel 32. That is, along the direction perpendicular to the surface of the display panel 32, the orthographic projection of the display panel 32 is completely located within the cover plate 36. The edge of the cover plate 36 is fixedly connected to the fastener 50. For example, the edge of the cover plate 36 is bonded and fixed to the top of the fastener 50 using adhesive 60.

[0075] As shown in Figure 3, the cover plate 36 protrudes from the display panel 32 along a direction parallel to the surface of the display panel 32, that is, parallel to the XY plane. In other words, the distance from the outer peripheral surface of the cover plate 36 to the side plate 12 is less than the distance from the outer peripheral surface of the display panel 32 to the side plate 12. It can be understood that when the electronic device 100 is dropped or impacted, the side plate 12 will first press against the cover plate 36, thereby protecting the display panel 32.

[0076] However, in this embodiment, the fastener 50 located on the outer periphery of the display panel 32 is made of hard plastic. When the fastener 50 presses against the display panel 32, it can cause the display panel 32 to bend, wrinkle, or malfunction. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the glass cover 36 has a relatively large mass, which is detrimental to reducing the weight of the electronic device 100. Additionally, in this embodiment, the edges of the cover 36 need to have reserved space for bonding to achieve the bonding and fixation between the cover 36 and the fastener 50. This results in an increase in the black border size of the display 1, which is not conducive to achieving a narrow bezel for the electronic device 100.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 4, which is a partial cross-sectional structural diagram of the electronic device 100 shown in Figure 1 in a second embodiment.

[0078] In this embodiment, the display screen 30 includes a display panel 32. The display panel 32 is installed in the receiving groove 101 and is fixedly connected to the base plate 11 by easy-pull adhesive 61.

[0079] In this embodiment, the fastener 50 is made of hard plastic. For example, the fastener 50 may be made of PC / ABS composite material or PC / glass fiber composite material. The fastener 50 includes a first latch 51 and a second latch 52. The first latch 51 has a first holding portion 511. The first latch 51 is installed in the receiving groove 101 along a direction parallel to the side plate 12 and is fixedly connected to the housing 10.

[0080] The second latch 52 is approximately "J" shaped. The second latch 52 includes a fixing part 522 and a second holding part 521. The second holding part 521 is fixedly connected to the fixing part 522, and the structure of the second holding part 521 is adapted to the structure of the first holding part 511. That is, the second holding part 521 and the first holding part 511 can be latched together. One end of the fixing part 522 abuts against the top surface of the side plate 12, and the other end is bonded to the display surface of the display panel 32 using adhesive 60. The second holding part 521 extends into the receiving groove 101 and is latched together with the first holding part 511. Along a direction parallel to the surface of the display panel 32, at least part of the projection of the display panel 32 is located within the second latch 52.

[0081] In this embodiment, the display panel 32 can be fixed by the snap-fit ​​connection between the second buckle 52 and the first buckle 51, without the need for an additional glass cover, which can reduce weight.

[0082] However, in this embodiment, the second clip 52 located on the outer periphery of the display panel 32 is made of hard plastic. When the electronic device 100 is impacted or squeezed, the second clip 52 will squeeze the display panel 32, making the display panel 32 prone to bending, wrinkling, or failure. Furthermore, in this embodiment, space needs to be reserved at the edge of the display panel 32 to allow for the adhesive fixation of the second clip 52 to the display panel 32. This encroaches on the space at the edge of the display panel 32, thereby increasing the size of the black border of the display 1, which is not conducive to achieving a narrow bezel for the electronic device 100.

[0083] Please refer to Figures 5 to 7. Figure 5 is a partial structural schematic diagram of the electronic device 100 shown in Figure 1 in the third embodiment. Figure 6 is an exploded structural schematic diagram of the electronic device 100 shown in Figure 5. Figure 7 is a partial cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of the electronic device 100 shown in Figure 5 along the AA direction.

[0084] In this embodiment, the display 1 includes a housing 10, a buffer 20, and a display screen 30. The housing 10 is provided with a receiving groove 101. The buffer 20 and the display screen 30 are both installed in the receiving groove 101. The outer periphery of the display screen 30 is opposite to and spaced apart from the side wall of the receiving groove 101. The buffer 20 is disposed between the outer periphery of the display screen 30 and the side wall of the receiving groove 101, and is fixedly connected to the housing 10.

[0085] In this embodiment, the housing 10 is made of aluminum alloy. In other embodiments, the housing 10 may also be made of magnesium alloy, titanium alloy, carbon fiber alloy, PC / ABS (polycarbonate / acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) composite material, etc.

[0086] As shown in Figure 6, the housing 10 includes a bottom plate 11 and side plates 12. The side plates 12 include a first side plate 126, a second side plate 127, a third side plate 128, and a fourth side plate 129. The first side plate 126 and the second side plate 127 are arranged opposite each other along the X direction. The third side plate 128 and the fourth side plate 129 are arranged opposite each other along the Y direction and are both connected between the first side plate 126 and the second side plate 127.

[0087] The first side plate 126, the second side plate 127, the third side plate 128, and the fourth side plate 129 are all fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the base plate 11. The base plate 11 and the side plates 12 together form a receiving groove 101, the opening of which is opposite to the base plate 11. The housing 10 also includes a bearing 14. The axis of the bearing 14 is parallel to the X direction. The bearing 14 is fixedly connected to the fourth side plate 129. The bearing 14 is used to mount the rotating shaft 3 to achieve a rotatable connection between the display 1 and the host 2.

[0088] The display screen 30 is installed inside the receiving slot 101 and is fixedly connected to the housing 10. The display side of the display screen 30 faces the outside of the receiving slot 101. When the electronic device 100 is in the closed state, the display side of the display screen 30 faces the keyboard of the host 2. It should be noted that the display side refers to the side of the display screen 30 used to display images, text, and animations, and the user can view the screen displayed on the display screen 30 from the display side.

[0089] Referring to Figure 7, the side plate 12 includes a second inner surface 121, a second outer surface 122, and a second top surface 123. The second inner surface 121 and the second outer surface 122 are disposed opposite each other along the thickness direction of the side plate 12, and the second inner surface 121 is located within the receiving groove 101. The second top surface 123 connects the second inner surface 121 and the second outer surface 122, and is located at one end facing away from the bottom plate 11. The second top surface 123 includes a planar segment 124 and an arcuate segment 125 connected to each other. The planar segment 124 connects the second inner surface 121 and the arcuate segment 125, and the planar segment 124 is parallel or substantially parallel to the XY plane. The orientation of the planar segment 124 is the same as or substantially the same as the orientation of the display side of the display screen 30, that is, the planar segment 124 faces the positive Z-axis direction. The arcuate segment 125 connects the planar segment 124 and the second outer surface 122. From the second inner surface 121 to the second outer surface 122, the arc segment 125 is inclined towards the base plate 11. That is, from the second inner surface 121 to the second outer surface 122, the distance between the arc segment 125 and the base plate 11 gradually decreases. In this embodiment, the second top surface 123 is formed by a chamfering process. Specifically, the second top surface 123 is formed by a chamfering C-angle process. Here, "chamfering C-angle" refers to a chamfering process with a chamfering angle of 45 degrees.

[0090] It is understandable that when a user uses the electronic device 100 and views the display screen 30 from its display side, the display side of the display screen 30 and the flat segment 124 facing the same direction as the display side are within the user's field of vision. The curved segment 125 is smoothly connected to the second outer surface 122 and is inclined towards the base plate 11, so that at least part of the curved segment 125 is not within the field of vision. In this embodiment, by setting the second top surface 123 of the side plate 12 as a flat segment 124 and a curved segment 125, the thickness of the side plate 12 as seen by the user can be reduced. That is, the size of the bezel located at the edge of the display 1 can be reduced, thereby visually narrowing the black border and improving the user experience.

[0091] In other embodiments, the second top surface 123 may also be an arc surface. The arc surface connects the second inner surface 121 and the second outer surface 122, and the distance from the arc surface to the bottom plate 11 gradually decreases from the second inner surface 121 to the second outer surface 122. Alternatively, the second top surface 123 may also be a sloped surface. The sloped surface connects the second inner surface 121 and the second outer surface 122, and the distance from the sloped surface to the bottom plate 11 gradually decreases from the second inner surface 121 to the second outer surface 122.

[0092] In one implementation, the second top surface 123 can be brightened to further weaken the black border, visually narrowing it and improving the user experience.

[0093] As shown in Figure 6, the buffer 20 is roughly a gate-shaped structure. The buffer 20 includes a first part 201, a second part 202, a third part 203, and a fourth part 204. The first part 201 and the second part 202 are positioned opposite each other along the X-direction, and the third part 203 and the fourth part 204 are positioned opposite each other along the Y-direction. The third part 203 connects the first part 201 and the second part 202. The fourth part 204 has a hollow area 205, which is used to avoid the rotating shaft 3 of the electronic device 100. That is, the fourth part 204 includes two sub-parts. One sub-part is connected to the first part 201, and the other sub-part is connected to the second part 202.

[0094] Please refer to Figures 8 and 9 together. Figure 8 is an exploded view of the buffer 20 in the electronic device 100 shown in Figure 6, and Figure 9 is a partial exploded view of the buffer 20 shown in Figure 8 from another angle.

[0095] The buffer 20 includes an elastic portion 21 and a support portion 24 connected to each other. The elastic portion 21 is made of soft rubber or elastic foam. In this embodiment, the elastic portion 21 is made of a thermoplastic elastomer, such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), thermoplastic styrene elastomer (TPE), and polyester elastomer (TPEE). In other embodiments, the elastic portion 21 may also be made of silicone or other polymer materials. The Shore hardness of the elastic portion 21 is 60HA to 80HA. It is understood that the elastic portion 21 has high elasticity and a large deformation under pressure.

[0096] In this embodiment, the elastic part 21 is generally a gate-shaped structure. The elastic part 21 includes a first segment 211, a second segment 212, a third segment 213, and a fourth segment 214. The first segment 211 and the second segment 212 are arranged opposite each other along the X direction, and the third segment 213 and the fourth segment 214 are arranged opposite each other along the Y direction. The third segment 213 connects between the first segment 211 and the second segment 212. The fourth segment 214 includes two sub-segments. One sub-segment is connected to the first segment 211, and the other sub-segment is connected to the second segment 212. It can be understood that the elastic part in the first part 201 is the first segment 211, the elastic part in the second part 202 is the second segment 212, the elastic part in the third part 203 is the third segment 213, and the elastic part in the fourth part 204 is the fourth segment 214.

[0097] The elastic part 21 includes a body 22 and an extension 23. The body 22 includes a first top surface 221, a bottom surface 222, a first inner surface 223, and a first outer surface 224. The first inner surface 223 and the first outer surface 224 are disposed opposite to each other along the thickness direction of the body 22. The first top surface 221 and the bottom surface 222 are disposed opposite to each other along the width direction of the body 22, and are both connected between the first inner surface 223 and the first outer surface 224.

[0098] The extension 23 includes a first surface 231 and a second surface 232. The first surface 231 and the second surface 232 are disposed opposite each other along the thickness direction of the extension 23. The extension 23 is connected to the inner periphery of the body 22 and is located at one end near the bottom surface 222. The extension 23 is connected to the body 22 at an angle, that is, the angle between the extension 23 and the body 22 is greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees. In this embodiment, the angle between the extension 23 and the body 22 is 90 degrees, that is, the extension 23 is perpendicularly connected to the body 22. In other embodiments, the angle between the extension 23 and the body 22 may be slightly greater than 90 degrees or slightly less than 90 degrees. The second surface 232 is flush with the bottom surface 222 or has a small height difference. The first surface 231 is perpendicularly connected to the first inner surface 223. The surface of the extension 23 facing away from the body 22 is provided with a groove 233. In this embodiment, the groove 233 is a dovetail groove. The bottom of the groove 233 is wider than the opening. Multiple grooves 233 are spaced apart on the surface of the extension 23 facing away from the main body 22. In other embodiments, the grooves 233 can be annular grooves surrounding the extension 23. The grooves 233 are used to connect with the support portion 24. The second surface 232 of the extension 23 is also provided with fixing posts 234. Multiple fixing posts 234 are spaced apart. The fixing posts 234 are used to connect with the support portion 24.

[0099] Please refer to Figures 8 and 9. The support portion 24 is made of rigid plastic. In this embodiment, the material of the support portion 24 is different from that of the elastic portion 21. For example, the material of the support portion 24 is PC / ABS composite material, PC / glass fiber composite material, etc. In other embodiments, the material of the support portion 24 and the elastic portion 21 may be the same. The hardness of the support portion 24 is greater than that of the elastic portion 21. In this embodiment, the Shore hardness of the support portion 24 is greater than or equal to 85HA.

[0100] In this embodiment, the support portion 24 is approximately a gate-shaped structure. The support portion 24 includes a fifth segment 246, a sixth segment 247, a seventh segment 248, and an eighth segment 249. The fifth segment 246 and the sixth segment 247 are arranged opposite each other along the X-direction, and the seventh segment 248 and the eighth segment 249 are arranged opposite each other along the Y-direction. The seventh segment 248 connects the fifth segment 246 and the sixth segment 247. The eighth segment 249 includes two sub-segments. One sub-segment connects to the fifth segment 246, and the other sub-segment connects to the sixth segment 247. It can be understood that the support portion in the first part 201 is the fifth segment 246, the support portion in the second part 202 is the sixth segment 247, the support portion in the third part 203 is the seventh segment 248, and the support portion in the fourth part 204 is the eighth segment 249.

[0101] The support portion 24 includes a third surface 241, a fourth surface 242, an inner annular surface 243, and an outer annular surface 244. The third surface 241 and the fourth surface 242 are disposed opposite to each other along the thickness direction of the support portion 24. The inner annular surface 243 and the outer annular surface 244 are disposed opposite to each other along the width direction of the support portion 24, and are both connected between the third surface 241 and the fourth surface 242. The support portion 24 is provided with a protrusion 245 that mates with a groove 233, and a fixing hole 5 that mates with a fixing post 234.

[0102] The support portion 24 is connected to the inner periphery of the elastic portion 21. The support portion 24 is parallel to and fixedly connected to the extension 23 of the elastic portion 21. The first segment 211 is fixedly connected to the fifth segment 246, the second segment 212 to the sixth segment 247, the third segment 213 to the seventh segment 248, and the fourth segment 214 to the eighth segment 249. The protrusion 245 of the support portion 24 is located within the groove 233 of the elastic portion 21 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 233. The fixing post 234 is located within the fixing hole 5. In this embodiment, by providing a groove 233 in the elastic portion 21 and a protrusion 245 that mates with the groove 233 in the support portion 24, the connection area between the elastic portion 21 and the support portion 24 can be increased, thereby improving the connection stability between the elastic portion 21 and the support portion 24, as well as the structural stability of the buffer member 20. Furthermore, in this embodiment, by providing a fixing post 234 in the elastic part 21 and a fixing hole 5 that cooperates with the fixing post 234 in the support part 24, the connection stability between the elastic part 21 and the support part 24 can be further improved.

[0103] In this embodiment, the fourth surface 242 is flush with the second surface 232 and the bottom surface 222, and the third surface 241 is flush with the first surface 231. In other embodiments, there may be a small height difference between the fourth surface 242 and the second surface 232, and there may also be a small height difference between the third surface 241 and the first surface 231.

[0104] In this embodiment, the buffer 20 is prepared by two-color injection molding. Specifically, the raw materials for the elastic part 21 and the support part 24 are sequentially injection molded into the same mold, and then formed to obtain the buffer 20. After molding, the elastic part 21 and the support part 24 are fixed together by fusion bonding. This improves the connection stability between the elastic part 21 and the support part 24, as well as the structural stability of the buffer 20. In other embodiments, the elastic part 21 and the support part 24 can be injection molded separately and then assembled together.

[0105] As shown in Figures 6 and 8, the buffer 20 also includes a reinforcing portion 25. The reinforcing portion 25 is made of hard plastic. In this embodiment, the material of the reinforcing portion 25 is the same as that of the supporting portion 24. The reinforcing portion 25 is elongated. One end of the reinforcing portion 25 is connected to the fifth segment 246, and the other end is connected to the sixth segment 247. The reinforcing portion 25 and the supporting portion 24 can be integrally molded, or they can be fixedly connected by bonding or other methods. In this embodiment, by providing the reinforcing portion 25, the strength of the buffer 20 can be improved, preventing deformation of the buffer 20.

[0106] As shown in Figures 5 to 7, the buffer member 20 is installed in the receiving groove 101 and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the receiving groove 101. The support part 24 is fixed to the base plate 11, with the fourth surface 242 facing the base plate 11 and fixedly connected to it. Exemplarily, the support part 24 is bonded to the base plate 11 by adhesive application or backing adhesive. The elastic part 21 is disposed along the side plate 12. A first segment 211 is disposed along the first side plate 126 and located between the first side plate 126 and the display panel 32. A second segment 212 is disposed along the second side plate 127 and located between the second side plate 127 and the display panel 32. A third segment 213 is disposed along the third side plate 128 and located between the third side plate 128 and the display panel 32. A fourth segment 214 is disposed along the fourth side plate 129 and located between the fourth side plate 129 and the display panel 32. The extension 23 of the elastic part 21 is fixed to the base plate 11, and the second surface 232 is bonded to the base plate 11 by dispensing or adhesive. The first outer surface 224 of the body 22 faces the second inner surface 121 of the side plate 12. In this embodiment, the first outer surface 224 and the second inner surface 121 are fixedly connected by dispensing or adhesive. For example, the portion of the second inner surface 121 near the base plate 11 is provided with adhesive, while the portion near the second top surface 123 is not provided with adhesive. That is, the first outer surface 224 and the second inner surface 121 are partially bonded, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the buffer 20 and the housing 10, and ensuring the straightness of the elastic part 21, preventing the elastic part 21 from deforming towards the display screen 30 and squeezing the display screen 30. At the same time, it also prevents the adhesive from being exposed, so as not to affect the appearance of the electronic device 100. In other embodiments, the first outer surface 224 and the second inner surface 121 can be in direct contact without bonding, or there can be a small gap between the first outer surface 224 and the second inner surface 121.

[0107] As shown in Figure 7, along the thickness direction of the display 1, i.e., along the Z-direction, the elastic portion 21 protrudes from the side plate 12. Specifically, the first top surface 221 of the elastic portion 21 protrudes from the second top surface 123 of the housing 10 in the Z-direction. That is, the first top surface 221 is located on the side of the second top surface 123 away from the bottom plate 11, and on the positive Z-axis side of the second top surface 123. In this embodiment, the distance by which the first top surface 221 of the elastic portion 21 protrudes from the second top surface 123 of the housing 10 in the Z-direction is 0.2 mm to 1.0 mm. Preferably, the distance by which the first top surface 221 of the elastic portion 21 protrudes from the second top surface 123 of the housing 10 in the Z-direction is 0.5 mm.

[0108] In this embodiment, by setting the elastic part 21 to protrude from the side plate 12 and the first top surface 221 to protrude from the second top surface 123, when the electronic device 100 is in the closed state, the elastic part 21 contacts the host 2 first. This avoids direct contact between the metal casing and the host 2, preventing wear on the casing of the display 1 and the host 2, and also reduces abnormal noise generated by the electronic device 100 during the closing process. Simultaneously, by setting the elastic part 21 to protrude from the side plate 12, the user contacts the elastic part 21 first when touching the surface of the display 1. Since the elastic part 21 is made of soft rubber, it reduces the scratchy feeling and improves the user experience. In other embodiments, the first top surface 221 may also be flush with the planar segment 124 of the second top surface 123 of the housing 10.

[0109] Please refer to Figure 2. The display screen 30 includes a buffer layer 31, a display panel 32, and a polarizing layer 35. The buffer layer 31, the display panel 32, and the polarizing layer 35 are stacked sequentially along the thickness direction of the display screen 30 and are fixedly connected to each other.

[0110] Please also refer to Figure 10, which is an enlarged structural schematic diagram of the display panel 32 in the display screen 30 shown in Figure 7.

[0111] In this embodiment, the display panel 32 is a rigid OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display panel. In other embodiments, the display panel 32 may also be a liquid crystal display (LCD). Alternatively, the display panel 32 may be a flexible display panel, such as an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel, an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display panel, or a mini organic light-emitting diode (Mini OLED) display panel.

[0112] The display panel 32 includes a display portion (not shown), a first protective portion 324, and a second protective portion 325. The display portion includes a substrate 321, a display layer 322, and an encapsulation layer 323. In this embodiment, the substrate 321 is made of glass. In other embodiments, the substrate 321 may also be a thin film material, such as a PI (polyimide) film, a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film, or a PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) film. The substrate 321 serves to support the display layer 322.

[0113] The display layer 322 includes a light-emitting portion 3221 and a driving portion 3222. The light-emitting portion 3221 includes multiple sets of pixel units (not shown). Each set of pixel units includes pixels that emit red light, pixels that emit green light, and pixels that emit blue light. In this embodiment, the driving portion 3222 is made of a thin-film transistor (TFT). The driving portion 3222 is provided with multiple driving circuits. Each pixel corresponds to one driving circuit. Each driving circuit is used to control whether the corresponding pixel emits light and the intensity of the light emitted, thereby controlling the color and intensity of the light emitted by each set of pixel units, and thus enabling the light-emitting portion 3221 to form text, images, and videos. The display layer 322 is disposed on the front side of the substrate 321, the driving portion 3222 is located on the side closer to the substrate 321 and is fixedly connected to the substrate 321, and the light-emitting portion 3221 is located on the side away from the substrate 321.

[0114] In this embodiment, the encapsulation layer 323 is made of glass. The encapsulation layer 323 is stacked on the side of the display layer 322 near the light-emitting part 3221 and is fixedly connected to the display layer 322. The encapsulation layer 323 has good sealing performance, which can prevent external oxygen and moisture from entering the display layer 322, thus protecting the display layer 322.

[0115] The second protective portion 325 is disposed around the outer periphery of the display layer 322 and is fixedly connected to the substrate 321 and the encapsulation layer 323. In this embodiment, the second protective portion 325 is Frit adhesive. Frit adhesive is a material composed of glass powder and an adhesive. During the preparation process, Frit adhesive can first be formed between the substrate 321 and the encapsulation layer 323 using a screen printing process, then pre-sintered, and then laser welded, so that the Frit adhesive absorbs laser energy and instantly seals the substrate 321 and the encapsulation layer 323. That is, the Frit adhesive is bonded between the substrate 321 and the encapsulation layer 323 to further encapsulate the display layer 322, thereby preventing external dust or water from entering the display layer 322 through the side of the display panel 32, and further protecting the display layer 322.

[0116] The first protective portion 324 is connected to the outer periphery of the display portion, that is, it is disposed on the outer periphery of the substrate 321, the outer periphery of the display layer 322, and the outer periphery of the encapsulation layer 323. In this embodiment, the first protective portion 324 is a side sealant; for example, the first protective portion 324 is an acrylic adhesive or an organosilicon adhesive. In this embodiment, by providing the first protective portion 324 on the outer periphery of the display portion of the display panel 32, the display panel 32 can be buffered and protected.

[0117] As shown in Figures 7 and 10, the display panel 32 includes a display surface 326, a back surface 327, and a first outer peripheral surface 328. The display surface 326 and the back surface 327 are disposed opposite each other along the thickness direction (Z direction) of the display panel 32, and the first outer peripheral surface 328 connects the display surface 326 and the back surface 327. It can be understood that the display surface 326 is the surface of the encapsulation layer 323 facing away from the display layer 322, the back surface 327 is the surface of the substrate 321 facing away from the display layer 322, and the first outer peripheral surface 328 is the outer peripheral surface of the first protective part 324. The light emitted by the light-emitting part 3221 passes through the encapsulation layer 323 and then exits through the display surface 326. That is, the user can observe the text, images, and videos displayed on the display panel 32 from the display surface 326 side.

[0118] Please refer to Figure 7. In this embodiment, the buffer layer 31 is made of foam and aluminum foil. The buffer layer 31 is stacked with the display panel 32. The back surface 327 of the display panel 32 faces the buffer layer 31 and is fixedly connected to the buffer layer 31. In this embodiment, the display panel 32 is fixedly connected to the buffer layer 31 by OCA optical adhesive. In other embodiments, the display panel 32 can also be fixedly connected to the buffer layer 31 by adhesive backing or other fixing structures. The display surface 326 of the display panel 32 faces the same direction as the display side of the display screen 30, that is, the display surface 326 faces the outside of the receiving groove 101. In this embodiment, by providing the buffer layer 31 on the back surface 327 of the display panel 32, external dust or moisture can be prevented from entering the display panel 32 from the back surface 327, thereby protecting the display panel 32.

[0119] In this embodiment, the polarizing layer 35 is a polarizer. The polarizer is made of a thin film material with polarizing function. The polarizing layer 35 is disposed on the side of the encapsulation layer 323 facing away from the display panel 32 and is fixedly connected to the encapsulation layer 323. The emitted light from the display layer 322 passes through the encapsulation layer 323 and the polarizing layer 35 in sequence before exiting the display screen 30. In this embodiment, by providing the polarizing layer 35 on the display surface 326 of the display panel 32, the propagation direction and intensity of the emitted light from the display layer 322 can be adjusted. Furthermore, it can also counteract the reflected light generated by external light entering the display screen 30, reducing interference caused by external light reflection, thereby enhancing the contrast of the display screen 30 and improving the display effect of the display screen 30.

[0120] As shown in Figure 7, the display screen 30 is installed in the receiving groove 101 and fixedly connected to the housing 10. The length direction of the display screen 30 is parallel to the X-direction, the width direction is parallel to the Y-direction, and the thickness direction is parallel to the Z-direction. Specifically, the display screen 30 is located on the inner periphery of the elastic portion 21 and on the side of the support portion 24 near the third surface 241. That is, the buffer member 20 is located on the outer periphery of the display screen 30. In this embodiment, the size of the elastic portion 21 is larger than the size of the display panel 32 along the thickness direction of the display panel 32, i.e., along the Z-direction. In other embodiments, the size of the elastic portion 21 can be equal to the size of the display panel 32 along the thickness direction of the display panel 32. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the orthographic projection of the display panel 32 along the X-direction is completely located within the elastic portion 21, and the orthographic projection along the positive Y-axis is completely located within the third segment 213 of the elastic portion 21. Furthermore, the orthographic projection of the display screen 30 along the X direction is completely located within the elastic portion 21, and the orthographic projection along the positive Y-axis direction is completely located within the third segment 213 of the elastic portion 21.

[0121] In this embodiment, the first outer peripheral surface 328 of the display panel 32 and the first inner surface 223 of the elastic portion 21 are spaced apart. The distance between the first outer peripheral surface 328 and the first inner surface 223 is 0.1mm to 0.3mm. Simultaneously, the elastic portion 21 protrudes from the display panel 32 in the Z direction, meaning that the elastic portion 21 is higher than the display screen 30 in the Z direction. In other words, the first top surface 221 protrudes from the display screen 30 in the Z direction. In other words, the first top surface 221 is located on the side of the display screen 30 away from the base plate 11.

[0122] In this embodiment, by providing a buffer 20 between the display screen 30 and the housing 10, and with the elastic part 21 of the buffer 20 located on the outer periphery of the display screen 30, when the electronic device 100 falls from the side or is impacted, the side plate 12 of the housing 10 first squeezes the elastic part 21, causing the elastic part 21 to deform. This prevents the housing 10 from directly squeezing the display screen 30, thereby preventing the display screen 30 from bending, wrinkling, or failing, improving the display effect of the display screen 30, and simultaneously improving the drop resistance and durability of the electronic device 100.

[0123] Furthermore, in this embodiment, by providing elastic portions 21 on three of the outer periphery of the display screen 30, the protective effect of the elastic portions 21 on the display screen 30 can be improved.

[0124] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, by spaced apart from the display panel 32 and the elastic part 21, the elastic part 21 can be provided with deformation space, avoiding the elastic part 21 from directly squeezing the display panel 32, or reducing the amount of squeezing of the display panel 32 by the elastic part 21, thereby further enhancing the protection of the display panel 32 and avoiding squeezing of the display panel 32 to affect the display effect of the display screen 30.

[0125] Furthermore, in this embodiment, by setting the elastic part 21 to protrude from the display screen 30 in the Z direction, when the electronic device 100 falls from the front (display side) or is impacted, the elastic part 21 is squeezed first, thereby avoiding direct compression of the display screen 30 and further enhancing the protection of the display screen 30. At the same time, it can also prevent the display screen 30 from directly contacting the host 2 when the electronic device 100 is in a closed state, thereby reducing or even avoiding wear and tear on the display screen 30 and further protecting the display screen 30.

[0126] In this embodiment, the elastic part 21 can protect and buffer the display panel 32 in the display screen 30 without the need for a traditional glass cover, thus reducing weight and facilitating the thinning and lightening of the electronic device 100. For example, the electronic device 100 provided in this application is 70g to 80g lighter than the electronic device 100 with a glass cover 36 (as shown in the embodiment in FIG3).

[0127] Furthermore, in the embodiment shown in Figure 3, since the cover plate 36 needs to be fixedly connected to the housing 10 by adhesive or other means, adhesive space needs to be reserved at the edge of the glass cover plate 36, which will increase the size of the black border of the display 1. In the embodiment shown in Figure 4, when the fastener 50 is engaged with the display panel 32, it will occupy the space at the edge of the display panel 32, thereby increasing the size of the black border of the display 1.

[0128] The electronic device 100 provided in this application does not require the additional cover plate 36 shown in Figure 2 or the fixing member 50 shown in Figure 4, and therefore does not require the space reserved for fixing the cover plate 36 or the fixing member 50. This reduces the width of the black border of the display 1, which is beneficial for achieving a narrow bezel of the display 1, thereby increasing the screen-to-body ratio of the display 1 and improving the user experience. As shown in Figure 7, the black border of the display 1 provided in this embodiment is area B. That is, the black border is the area between the outer periphery of the display layer 322 of the display panel 32 and the second outer surface 122 of the housing 10. The black border size of the electronic device 100 provided in this application is reduced by 0.4mm to 1.0mm compared to the black border size of the electronic device 100 provided in the embodiment shown in Figure 3.

[0129] Furthermore, in this embodiment, by providing a support portion 24 to the buffer 20 and fixing the support portion 24 to the housing 10, the bonding stability between the buffer 20 and the housing 10 can be improved, thereby reducing the deformation of the elastic portion 21 toward the display panel 32, and thus reducing or even avoiding the elastic portion 21 from squeezing the display screen 30.

[0130] Please refer to Figure 7. The display 1 also includes an adhesive layer 40. In this embodiment, the adhesive layer 40 is a pull-tab adhesive. The main component of the pull-tab adhesive is polyvinyl alcohol, which provides good bonding performance. The pull-tab adhesive also contains acrylic acid, styrene, vinyl ester, and other components, which can give the pull-tab adhesive heat resistance, cold resistance, and other properties, enhancing its practicality and durability. In other embodiments, the adhesive layer 40 may also be other adhesive materials.

[0131] The adhesive layer 40 is bonded between the housing 10 and the display screen 30. One side of the adhesive layer 40 is bonded and fixed to the base plate 11, and the other side is bonded and fixed to the buffer layer 31 of the display screen 30. In this embodiment, the display screen 30 is fixedly connected through the adhesive layer 40, eliminating the need for additional fixing structures to fix the display screen 30 in the receiving groove 101, thus simplifying the structure and manufacturing process of the electronic device 100. Furthermore, in this embodiment, easy-pull adhesive is used as the adhesive layer 40, which can improve the bonding stability between the display screen 30 and the housing 10.

[0132] Please refer to Figure 11, which is a partial cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of the electronic device 100 shown in Figure 1 in a fourth embodiment.

[0133] The difference between this embodiment and the embodiment shown in FIG7 is that, in this embodiment, the display screen 30 further includes a protective layer 34.

[0134] In this embodiment, the protective layer 34 is a PET film. In other embodiments, the protective layer 34 can also be a transparent film material of other materials. Alternatively, the protective layer 34 can also be an explosion-proof film. Alternatively, the protective layer 34 can also be a glass cover. The protective layer 34 includes an upper surface 341, a lower surface 342, and a second outer peripheral surface 343. The upper surface 341 and the lower surface 342 are disposed opposite each other along the thickness direction (Z direction) of the display screen 30, and the second outer peripheral surface 343 connects the upper surface 341 and the lower surface 342. The protective layer 34 has a blocking portion 344 near the edge of the second outer peripheral surface 343. In this embodiment, the blocking portion 344 is black ink. The black ink is formed on the lower surface 342 of the protective layer 34 by screen printing, or it can also be formed on the upper surface 341 of the protective layer 34.

[0135] A protective layer 34 is stacked on the side of the polarizing layer 35 facing away from the display panel 32 and is fixedly connected to the polarizing layer 35. For example, OCA optical adhesive is provided between the protective layer 34 and the polarizing layer 35, bonding them together. In this embodiment, by providing the protective layer 34, the display panel 32 can be protected, preventing scratches that would affect its display performance. Simultaneously, in this embodiment, using a PET film as the protective layer 34 reduces weight.

[0136] The shielding portion 344 covers the edge of the display panel 32 in the Z direction. Specifically, the shielding portion 344 covers the first protective portion 324 and the second protective portion 325 in the Z direction. That is, the orthographic projection of the shielding portion 344 along the Z direction covers both the first protective portion 324 and the second protective portion 325. Alternatively, the shielding portion 344 may only shield the second protective portion 325, that is, the orthographic projection of the shielding portion 344 along the Z direction covers the second protective portion 325.

[0137] It should be noted that during actual use, the second protective part 325 of the electronic device 100 will reflect light and produce bright lines, which will affect the display effect of the display screen 30. In this embodiment, by providing the blocking part 344, the second protective part 325 can be blocked, that is, the bright lines at the edge of the display screen 30 can be blocked, thereby improving the display effect of the display screen 30 and enhancing the user experience.

[0138] In this embodiment, the blocking portion 344 protrudes from the first outer peripheral surface 328 of the display panel 32 along a direction parallel to the XY plane. For example, the distance by which the outer peripheral surface of the blocking portion 344 protrudes from the second outer peripheral surface 343 is greater than or equal to 0.15mm, so as to improve the blocking effect on bright lines.

[0139] As shown in Figure 11, the display screen 30 is installed in the receiving groove 101, with the protective layer 34 facing the opening of the receiving groove 101. The second outer peripheral surface 343 of the protective layer 34 is spaced apart from or in contact with the first inner surface 223 of the elastic portion 21. The protective layer 34 protrudes from the display panel 32 along a direction parallel to the protective layer 34, i.e., along a direction parallel to the XY plane. Specifically, the second outer peripheral surface 343 of the protective layer 34 protrudes from the first outer peripheral surface 328 of the display panel 32 along a direction parallel to the protective layer 34. That is, the distance from the second outer peripheral surface 343 to the first inner surface 223 of the elastic portion 21 is less than the distance from the first outer peripheral surface 328 to the first inner surface 223. In this embodiment, the distance by which the second outer peripheral surface 343 protrudes from the first outer peripheral surface 328 is greater than or equal to 0.15 mm. That is, the distance from the second outer peripheral surface 343 to the first inner surface 223 is 0.15 mm or more smaller than the distance from the first outer peripheral surface 328 to the first inner surface 223. Preferably, the distance by which the second outer peripheral surface 343 protrudes from the first outer peripheral surface 328 is 0.2 mm.

[0140] In this embodiment, by setting the protective layer 34 to protrude from the display panel 32 in a direction parallel to the XY plane, when the elastic part 21 squeezes the display screen 30, the elastic part 21 first contacts the protective layer 34, thereby avoiding the elastic part 21 directly squeezing the display panel 32, further enhancing the protection of the display panel 32, and preventing the display panel 32 from being squeezed and affecting the display effect of the display screen 30.

[0141] In this embodiment, the elastic portion 21 protrudes beyond the protective layer 34 in the Z direction, meaning that the elastic portion 21 is higher than the protective layer 34 in the Z direction. In other words, the first top surface 221 protrudes beyond the protective layer 34 in the Z direction, and the protective layer 34 is located on the side of the first top surface 221 of the elastic portion 21 closest to the base plate 11. This prevents the protective layer 34 from directly contacting the host 2 when the electronic device 100 is in a closed state, thereby preventing wear on the protective layer 34 and further protecting the display screen 30.

[0142] Please refer to Figure 12, which is a partial cross-sectional structural diagram of the electronic device 100 shown in Figure 1 in the fifth embodiment.

[0143] The difference between this embodiment and the embodiment shown in Figure 11 is that, in this embodiment, the display screen 30 further includes a touch layer 33. The touch layer 33 is disposed between the display panel 32 and the polarizing layer 35, and is electrically connected to the motherboard within the electronic device 100. When a user touches the display screen 30, the electrical properties (such as resistance and capacitance) of the touch layer 33 change, and this change is transmitted to the motherboard within the electronic device 100. The motherboard controls the content displayed on the display screen 30, thereby enabling the display screen 30 to recognize and respond to the user's touch operation, thus realizing the touch function of the display screen 30.

[0144] Please also refer to Figure 13, which is an enlarged structural schematic diagram of the protective layer 34 in the electronic device 100 shown in Figure 12.

[0145] The protective layer 34 includes an anti-fingerprint layer 345, a wear-resistant layer 346, a body layer 347, and an adhesive layer 348. The anti-fingerprint layer 345, the wear-resistant layer 346, the body layer 347, and the adhesive layer 348 are stacked sequentially along the Z direction.

[0146] The body layer 347 can be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. In this embodiment, the body layer is a PET film. In other embodiments, the body layer 347 can also be a polyethylene terephthalate / high-strength polyurethane (PET / HPU) composite film, or a high-strength polyurethane / thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (HPU / TPU) composite film, or other film materials that meet the requirements of optical and touch performance.

[0147] An adhesive layer 348 is laminated on the back side of the body layer 347 for bonding and fixing to the polarizing layer 35. A wear-resistant layer 346 is disposed on the front side of the body layer 347, that is, on the side of the body layer 347 facing away from the adhesive layer 348. The wear-resistant layer 346 enhances the wear resistance and scratch resistance of the protective layer 34. An anti-fingerprint layer 345 is laminated on the side of the wear-resistant layer 346 facing away from the body layer 347 to enhance the anti-fingerprint performance of the protective layer 34.

[0148] A protective layer 34 is stacked on the side of the polarizing layer 35 facing away from the touch layer 33, and an adhesive layer 348 faces the polarizing layer 35 and is bonded and fixed to it. In this embodiment, by providing a protective layer 34, the touch layer 33 can be protected, and the return loss of the display screen 30 can be reduced, thereby improving the touch accuracy and sensitivity of the display screen 30.

[0149] Please refer to Figure 14, which is a partial cross-sectional structural diagram of the electronic device 100 shown in Figure 1 in the sixth embodiment.

[0150] The difference between this embodiment and the embodiment shown in FIG. 12 is that, in this embodiment, the housing 10 further includes a fixing part 13. The cross-section of the fixing part 13 is approximately triangular. The fixing part 13 includes a first inclined surface 131. The angle between the first inclined surface 131 and the XY plane is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees. In this embodiment, the angle between the first inclined surface 131 and the XY plane is approximately 45 degrees. The fixing part 13 is located in the receiving groove 101 and is disposed at the connection between the side plate 12 and the bottom plate 11, and is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 11 and the side plate 12. The first inclined surface 131 faces inward into the receiving groove 101. The first inclined surface 131 is set at an angle with the second inner surface 121. The fixing part 13 can be integrally formed with the side plate 12 and the bottom plate 11. That is, the fixing part 13 can be understood as a part of the side plate 12 and the bottom plate 11, and the first inclined surface 131 is an inclined surface connecting the second inner surface 121 and the inner surface of the bottom plate 11. Alternatively, the fixing part 13 can also be fixedly connected to the base plate 11 and the side plate 12 by means of bonding or welding.

[0151] The elastic part 21 also includes a second inclined surface 215. The second inclined surface 215 connects the first outer surface 224 and the bottom surface 222. Alternatively, the second end face is the second inclined surface 215, which connects the first outer surface 224 and the second surface 232. The angle between the second inclined surface 215 and the XY plane is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees, and the inclination angle of the second inclined surface 215 is the same as or approximately the same as the inclination angle of the first inclined surface 131.

[0152] A buffer 20 is installed in a receiving groove 101, a support 24 is disposed on a base plate 11, and an elastic part 21 is disposed along the inner surface of a side plate 12. The fourth surface 242 of the support 24, the second surface 232 of the elastic part 21, and the bottom surface 222 are all fixedly connected to the base plate 11. The second inclined surface 215 is parallel to and fixedly connected to the first inclined surface 131. In this embodiment, the first outer surface 224 and the second inner surface 121 are spaced apart. In other embodiments, the first outer surface 224 and the second inner surface 121 may also be in direct contact. Exemplarily, the fourth surface 242 and the base plate 11, the second surface 232 and the base plate 11, the bottom surface 222 and the base plate 11, and the second inclined surface 215 and the first inclined surface 131 are all fixedly connected by adhesive dispensing. In other embodiments, they may also be fixedly connected by adhesive backing or other adhesives.

[0153] It should be noted that when the second inclined surface 215 is bonded and fixed to the first inclined surface 131, the second inclined surface 215 is subjected to a force F perpendicular to the second inclined surface 215 and toward the first inclined surface 131. That is, the buffer member 20 is subjected to a force F perpendicular to the second inclined surface 215 and toward the first inclined surface 131. The force F can prevent the elastic part 21 from deforming toward the display screen 30, thereby preventing the elastic part 21 from squeezing the display screen 30. At the same time, in this embodiment, by setting the first inclined surface 131 and the second inclined surface 215 to be fixedly connected to each other, the bonding area between the buffer member 20 and the housing 10 can also be increased, thereby improving the connection stability between the buffer member 20 and the housing 10, and thus improving the structural stability of the electronic device 100.

[0154] Furthermore, in this embodiment, by applying adhesive between the fourth surface 242 and the base plate 11, between the second surface 232 and the base plate 11, between the bottom surface 222 and the base plate 11, and between the second inclined surface 215 and the first inclined surface 131, the requirements for adhesive strength can be met. There is no need to apply additional adhesive between the first outer surface 224 and the second inner surface 121, thereby preventing adhesive from being exposed through the gap between the elastic part 21 and the side plate 12, which can improve the uniformity of the appearance of the electronic device 100. In addition, it can also prevent the user from seeing the adhesive in the gap between the elastic part 21 and the side plate 12 from the display side of the display 1, which can further improve the appearance of the electronic device 100.

[0155] Please refer to Figure 15, which is a partial cross-sectional structural diagram of the electronic device 100 shown in Figure 1 in the seventh embodiment.

[0156] The difference between this embodiment and the embodiment shown in FIG14 is that the area of ​​the support portion 24 in this embodiment is larger than the area of ​​the support portion 24 in the embodiment shown in FIG14, and the adhesive layer 40 is bonded between the buffer layer 31 and the support portion 24.

[0157] In this embodiment, the support portion 24 is a solid plate structure, meaning that the center of the support portion 24 does not have a hollow area. The support portion 24 includes a third surface 241, a fourth surface 242, and an outer ring surface 244. The third surface 241 and the fourth surface 242 are arranged opposite each other along the thickness direction of the support portion 24, and the outer ring surface 244 connects the third surface 241 and the fourth surface 242. The outer ring surface 244 has a protrusion 245 that mates with the groove 233 of the elastic portion 21.

[0158] The support portion 24 is connected to the inner periphery of the elastic portion 21. The support portion 24 is arranged parallel to and fixedly connected to the extension 23 of the elastic portion 21. The protrusion 245 of the support portion 24 is located in the groove 233 of the elastic portion 21 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 233. The support portion 24 and the elastic portion 21 enclose to form a mounting groove 201. The sidewall of the mounting groove 201 is formed by the first inner surface 223 of the elastic portion 21, and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 201 is formed by the first surface 231 of the extension 23 and the fourth surface 242 of the support portion 24.

[0159] The buffer member 20 is installed in the receiving groove 101 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the receiving groove 101. The support part 24 is provided on the base plate 11 and covers or substantially covers the base plate 11. Furthermore, the support part 24 is fixedly connected to the base plate 11. The extension 23 of the elastic part 21 is fixed to the base plate 11. The body 22 of the elastic part 21 is provided along the side plate 12, with the first outer surface 224 facing the second inner surface 121 of the side plate 12.

[0160] Both the display screen 30 and the adhesive layer 40 are located within the mounting groove 201. The buffer layer 31 faces the support portion 24, and the adhesive layer 40 is bonded between the buffer layer 31 and the support portion 24. Specifically, one surface of the adhesive layer 40 is bonded to the fourth surface 242, and the other surface is bonded to the surface of the buffer layer 31 facing away from the display panel 32.

[0161] In this embodiment, by setting the support part 24 as a solid plate structure, the area of ​​the support part 24 can be increased, thereby increasing the bonding area between the support part 24 and the base plate 11. That is, the bonding area between the buffer member 20 and the housing 10 can be increased, thereby improving the connection stability between the buffer member 20 and the housing 10. In addition, it can also reduce or even avoid the deformation of the elastic part 21 toward the display screen 30, further avoiding squeezing the display screen 30 and affecting the display effect of the display screen 30.

[0162] Please refer to Figure 16, which is a partial cross-sectional structural diagram of the electronic device 100 shown in Figure 1 in the eighth embodiment.

[0163] The difference between this embodiment and the embodiment shown in FIG14 is that, in this embodiment, the buffer 20 only includes the elastic part 21, excluding the support part 24 shown in FIG14. That is, the buffer 20 is made entirely of soft rubber. The cross-section of the elastic part 21 is "L"-shaped. The elastic part 21 includes a body 22 and an extension 23. In this embodiment, the body 22 and the extension 23 are vertically connected. In this embodiment, the buffer 20 is a one-piece molded part and is manufactured by hydraulic pressing.

[0164] The buffer 20 is installed in the receiving groove 101 and fixedly connected to the housing 10. The body 22 is disposed along the side plate 12, with the first outer surface 224 facing the second inner surface 121 of the side plate 12. The first outer surface 224 is in contact with the second inner surface 121 or has a small gap. The second inclined surface 215 is fixedly connected to the first inclined surface 131 by adhesive application or backing adhesive. The extension 23 is disposed along the base plate 11 and extends toward the center of the base plate 11. The second surface 232 is fixedly connected to the base plate 11. The orthographic projection of the display screen 30 along the Z direction at least partially coincides with the extension 23.

[0165] It is understood that, compared with the extension 23 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 14, the extension 23 in this embodiment has a larger width. By fixing the second surface 232 of the extension 23 to the base plate 11, the buffer 20 and the housing 10 can be fixedly connected, without the need for the support part 24 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the buffer 20 can be manufactured by hydraulic process, which simplifies the manufacturing process of the buffer 20, improves the mass productionability of the buffer 20, and reduces the production cost of the electronic device 100.

[0166] Please refer to Figure 17, which is a partial cross-sectional structural diagram of the electronic device 100 shown in Figure 1 in the ninth embodiment.

[0167] The difference between this embodiment and the embodiment shown in FIG16 is that the area of ​​the extension 23 in this embodiment is larger than the area of ​​the extension 23 in the embodiment shown in FIG16, and the adhesive layer 40 is bonded between the buffer layer 31 and the extension 23.

[0168] In this embodiment, the extension 23 is a solid plate-like structure that covers or substantially covers the base plate 11. The extension 23 and the main body 22 enclose each other to form a mounting groove 201. The sidewall of the mounting groove 201 is formed by the first inner surface 223 of the main body 22, and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 201 is formed by the first surface 231 of the extension 23.

[0169] Both the display screen 30 and the adhesive layer 40 are located within the mounting groove 201. The buffer layer 31 faces the extension 23, and the adhesive layer 40 is bonded between the buffer layer 31 and the extension 23. Specifically, one surface of the adhesive layer 40 is bonded to the second surface 232, and the other surface is bonded to the surface of the buffer layer 31 facing away from the display panel 32.

[0170] In this embodiment, by setting the extension body 23 as a plate structure and bonding and fixing the extension body 23 to the base plate 11, the bonding area between the buffer member 20 and the base plate 11 can be increased, thereby improving the connection stability between the buffer member 20 and the housing 10. In addition, it can also reduce or even avoid the deformation of the body 22 of the elastic part 21 toward the display screen 30, further avoiding squeezing the display screen 30 and avoiding affecting the display effect of the display screen 30.

[0171] The above are merely some embodiments and implementation methods of this application. The scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
