Display screen and electronic device
[0001] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202411097762.8, filed on August 9, 2024, and entitled "Display screen and electronic device", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of electronic devices, in particular to a display screen and an electronic device. BACKGROUND
[0003] The appearance requirements of electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers are increasingly high, especially the requirements of high screen ratio and narrow frame, which are favored and concerned by consumers. In the design of narrow frame, the front camera module limits the frame width of the narrow frame. In the related technology, the electronic device adopts a screen hole to place the front camera module. Specifically, the screen is composed of a cover plate and a stack, the stack is drilled to form a through hole penetrating the stack, the camera module is opposite to the through hole, and the camera module realizes functions such as photographing and video shooting through the through hole. However, the through hole is located inside the display area of the screen, which will affect the page display and also affect the front appearance of the electronic device. SUMMARY
[0004] Embodiments of the present application provide a display screen and an electronic device, which can realize a narrow frame without affecting the page display and the front appearance of the electronic device.
[0005] The first aspect of the present application provides an electronic device, which includes a display screen, a middle frame and a camera module. The display screen is connected to the middle frame, and the display screen includes a display area and a non-display area. The display screen includes a display panel layer and an opaque layer, the opaque layer is located on the light-out side of the display panel layer and inside the non-display area, and the opaque layer has a light-transmitting window for light to pass through. The display panel layer includes a pixel area and a frame area, the pixel area forms the display area, the frame area is located inside the projection of the non-display area on a reference plane, and the frame area includes a trace, the trace and the light-transmitting window do not overlap on the reference plane, and the reference plane is a plane in which the length direction and the width direction of the electronic device are located. The camera module is connected to the middle frame and arranged along the thickness direction of the electronic device with the display panel layer, and the light-sensitive area of the camera module is opposite to the light-transmitting window along the thickness direction of the electronic device.
[0006] The display panel layer and the camera module are staggered in the thickness direction of the electronic device, so that the camera module and the display panel layer do not need to be provided with a safety gap in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the electronic device (for example, the length direction of the electronic device), thereby reducing the width of the non-display area and realizing a narrow frame design. In addition, the light transmission window opposite the light sensing area of the camera module is located inside the non-display area, and there is no need to set a light transmission area inside the display area, thereby increasing the display area of the display area, ensuring the integrity of the display area, not affecting the page display, and not affecting the appearance of the electronic device. In addition, the present application embodiment sets the orthogonal projection of the wire in the frame area on the reference plane outside the orthogonal projection of the light transmission window on the reference plane, that is, the wire in the frame area avoids the light transmission window, and the light received by the camera module does not pass through the wire in the frame area. Therefore, the light amount and imaging quality of the camera module can be improved to meet the use requirements.
[0007] In some possible implementation manners, the orthogonal projection of the light transmission window on the reference plane is located inside the orthogonal projection of the frame area on the reference plane, so that the distance between the edge of the display panel layer and the edge portion of the middle frame is less than the distance between the light transmission window and the edge portion of the middle frame, that is, the display panel layer covers the light transmission window in the thickness direction of the electronic device, which helps to reduce the width of the light transmission window in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the electronic device, thereby further reducing the width of the non-display area and further reducing the frame width of the electronic device.
[0008] In some possible implementation manners, the frame area includes a wire area, the wire area and the pixel area form an avoidance area, and the orthogonal projection of the light transmission window on the reference plane is located inside the orthogonal projection of the avoidance area on the reference plane, so that the wire in the wire area avoids the light transmission window by using the light transmission window away from the outer side of the display area, that is, the orthogonal projection of the light transmission window on the reference plane is located between the orthogonal projections of the pixel area and the wire area on the reference plane, avoiding the orthogonal projection of the wire in the wire area on the reference plane from falling inside the orthogonal projection of the light transmission window on the reference plane, thereby improving the light amount and imaging quality of the camera module and further reducing the width of the non-display area, which helps to further reduce the frame width of the electronic device.
[0009] In some possible implementation manners, the frame area includes a trace area, and a part of the orthographic projection of the trace area on the reference plane is arranged between the orthographic projections of the light-transmitting area and the display area on the reference plane, that is, the orthographic projection of the trace area on the reference plane is located between the orthographic projections of the light-transmitting window and the pixel area (the display area) on the reference plane. The traces in the trace area can be avoided from the side of the light-transmitting window towards the pixel area, so that the orthographic projection of the traces in the trace area on the reference plane is prevented from falling within the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting window on the reference plane, and the light quantity and the imaging quality of the camera module can be improved.
[0010] In some possible implementation manners, the display screen further includes a cover plate, and the non-light-transmitting layer is located between the cover plate and the display panel layer. The orthographic projection of the display panel layer on the reference plane is located within the orthographic projection of the cover plate on the reference plane. The distance between the edge of the display panel layer and the edge portion of the middle frame in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the electronic device is greater than the distance between the edge of the cover plate and the edge portion of the middle frame in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the electronic device, so that the cover plate protects the edge of the display panel layer and prevents the display panel layer from being damaged. In addition, when the back of the display screen is bonded to the middle frame, the distance between the edge of the display panel layer and the edge of the cover plate is reduced, so that the width of the non-display area is further reduced, and the frame width of the electronic device is further reduced.
[0011] In some possible implementation manners, the distance between the edge of the display panel layer and the edge of the cover plate in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the electronic device (for example, the length direction of the electronic device) is greater than or equal to 0.15 mm and less than or equal to 0.2 mm. In this way, the purpose of protecting the display panel layer by the cover plate is achieved, and the width of the non-display area is reduced as much as possible, which is helpful to achieve an ultra-narrow frame design.
[0012] In some possible implementation manners, the cover plate and the middle frame form an annular gap surrounding the cover plate. The electronic device further includes a first filling member, and the first filling member is filled in the annular gap to seal the annular gap, so that the appearance of the front of the electronic device is improved. In addition, foreign matters such as water and dust can be prevented from entering the inside of the electronic device through the annular gap.
[0013] In some possible implementation manners, the first filling member is a first filling adhesive, and the cover plate is bonded to the middle frame by the first filling adhesive, so that the annular gap is sealed, and the firmness of the connection between the display screen and the middle frame is further improved. In addition, the cover plate can also be bonded to the middle frame by the first filling member, so that the display screen is fixed to the middle frame.
[0014] In some possible implementation manners, the display screen further includes a first stack layer, the first stack layer is connected to the display panel layer and located between the display panel layer and the main body portion of the middle frame, and a bottom surface of the first stack layer facing the main body portion is bonded to the middle frame. In this way, when the wiring area is avoided by the light-transmissive window away from the outer side of the pixel area, the area where the first module is bonded to the middle frame and the wiring area have an overlapping area in the thickness direction of the electronic device, and the width of the non-display area can be further reduced, so that the frame width of the electronic device is further reduced.
[0015] In some possible implementation manners, the bottom surface of the cover plate facing the display panel layer is bonded to the middle frame, so that the display screen is fixed to the middle frame. In addition, the display screen can be prevented from being filled with water, dust and other foreign matters, and the performance of the display panel layer can be ensured.
[0016] In some possible implementation manners, the display screen further includes a first stack layer, the first stack layer is located on the backlight side of the display panel layer, the first stack layer includes a first avoiding space, the first avoiding space is opposite to the light-transmissive window in the thickness direction of the electronic device, and the depth of the first avoiding space in the thickness direction of the electronic device is less than or equal to the thickness of the first stack layer in the thickness direction of the electronic device. In this way, the first avoiding space at least penetrates a layer structure formed by a non-light-transmissive material in the first stack layer, so that the light passes through the layer structure formed by the non-light-transmissive material in the first stack layer, and the light received by the camera module is ensured.
[0017] In some possible implementation manners, the first stack layer includes a protective film, a flexible protective layer and a reinforcing layer which are arranged in a stack, the protective film is located between the display panel layer and the flexible protective layer, and the first avoiding space penetrates the reinforcing layer and the flexible protective layer in the thickness direction of the electronic device. In this way, the overall strength of the display screen can be improved, and the display panel layer can be protected. In addition, the protective film is formed by a light-transmissive material, and the first avoiding space penetrates the non-light-transmissive layer structure such as the reinforcing layer and the flexible protective layer, so that the light received by the camera module is ensured.
[0018] In some possible implementation manners, the display screen further includes a second stack layer, the second stack layer is located between the non-light-transmissive layer and the display panel layer, the second stack layer includes a second avoiding space, the second avoiding space is opposite to the light-transmissive window in the thickness direction of the electronic device, and the depth of the second avoiding space in the thickness direction of the electronic device is less than or equal to the thickness of the second stack layer in the thickness direction of the electronic device. In this way, the light entering the camera module passes through the second avoiding space, the light transmittance of the second stack layer can be improved, and the imaging quality of the camera module can be improved.
[0019] In some possible implementation manners, the display screen further includes a second filler that is transparent to light, and the second filler is located inside the second avoiding space. In this way, deformation of the second stack during assembly can be avoided. In addition, light can be converged, which helps to reduce the width of the light-transmitting area in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the electronic device. Furthermore, when the second filler is made of a high-refractive material, the optical effect of the camera module can be further improved.
[0020] In some possible implementation manners, the display screen further includes a cover plate, a first stack and a second stack, the cover plate, the second stack, the display panel layer and the first stack are stacked in the thickness direction of the electronic device. The display screen further includes an avoiding through hole that penetrates the first stack, the display panel layer and the second stack, and the avoiding through hole is opposite to the light-transmitting window in the thickness direction of the electronic device. In this way, the light transmittance of the area of the display screen opposite to the light-transmitting window can be further improved, and the imaging quality of the camera module can be further improved.
[0021] In some possible implementation manners, the middle frame includes a mounting through hole, and a part of the camera module extends into the mounting through hole in the thickness direction of the electronic device, so that the light passing through the light-transmitting window can be collected by the light-sensitive area of the camera module. In addition, the thickness of the middle frame and the camera module in the thickness direction of the electronic device can be reduced, which helps to reduce the thickness of the electronic device.
[0022] In some possible implementation manners, the light-transmitting window is located inside the projection of the part of the camera module that extends into the mounting through hole on the reference plane, that is, the width of the light-transmitting window is smaller than the width of the part of the camera module, so that the non-light-transmitting layer shields the contour of the part of the camera module, which helps to improve the appearance effect of the front of the electronic device.
[0023] The second aspect of the present application provides a display screen, which includes a non-light-transmitting layer, a display panel layer and a first stack. The display screen includes a display area and a non-display area. The non-light-transmitting layer is located on the light-emitting side of the display panel layer and inside the non-display area, and the non-light-transmitting layer has a light-transmitting window for light to pass through. The display panel layer includes a pixel area and a frame area, the pixel area forms the display area, the frame area has a projection on a reference plane that is located inside the projection of the non-display area on the reference plane, and the frame area includes a wire, and the projection of the wire on the reference plane does not overlap the projection of the light-transmitting window on the reference plane. The reference plane is a plane in which the length direction and the width direction of the display screen are located and is parallel to the reference plane. The first stack is located on the back light side of the display panel layer, and the first stack includes a protective film and a support layer that are stacked, the protective film is located between the display panel layer and the support layer, and the support layer has a first through hole opposite to the light-transmitting window in the thickness direction of the display screen.
[0024] In some possible implementation manners, a normal projection of the light-transmissive window on the reference plane is located inside a normal projection of the frame region on the reference plane.
[0025] In some possible implementation manners, the frame region includes a wire region, the wire region forms an avoiding region with the pixel region, and a normal projection of the light-transmissive window on the reference plane is located inside a normal projection of the avoiding region on the reference plane.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0052] FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an electronic device.
[0053] In order to achieve a narrow frame, in the related art, referring to FIG. 1, the electronic device includes a screen 610, a middle frame 620, and a camera module 630. The screen 610 has a display area AA and a non-display area NA surrounding the display area AA. The inside of the display area AA is provided with a light-transmitting area 613. The screen 610 is formed by a cover plate 611 and a display module 612. The display module 612 includes an optical adhesive layer 614, a polarizer 615, a display panel layer 616, a back film 617, a foam layer 618, and a reinforcing layer 619 which are stacked. A through hole 640 is formed by punching each layer in the display module 612 and penetrating the display module 612. The through hole 640 is opposite to the light-transmitting area 613 and opposite to the camera module 630. The camera module 630 collects light outside the electronic device through the through hole 640. At the same time, the through hole 640 penetrates the display module 612, which can ensure that the light transmittance of the light-transmitting area 613 meets the requirements, and can ensure that the light amount and imaging quality of the camera module 630 meet the use requirements.
[0054] However, the light-transmitting area 613 is located in the inside of the display area AA, which will affect the page display, that is, the software running on the electronic device needs to be adapted for display. In addition, it will also affect the appearance of the front of the electronic device and reduce the display area of the screen 610.
[0055] To solve the above problems, the electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present application can meet the use requirements of the light intake and imaging quality of the camera module while realizing a narrow frame, and ensure the page integrity of the display area.
[0056] Specifically, the display panel layer and the camera module are staggered in the thickness direction of the electronic device, so that the camera module and the display panel layer do not need to be provided with a safety gap in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the electronic device (for example, the length direction of the electronic device), and thus the width of the non-display area can be reduced, and a narrow frame design can be realized.
[0057] In addition, the light-sensitive area of the camera module is opposite to the light-transmitting window located in the non-display area, and a light-transmitting area opposite to the light-sensitive area of the camera module does not need to be provided in the display area, so that the display area of the display area can be improved, the integrity of the display area can be ensured, the page display will not be affected, and the appearance of the electronic device will not be affected. In addition, the embodiments of the present application set the orthographic projection of the wire in the frame area on the reference plane outside the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting window on the reference plane, that is, the wire in the frame area avoids the light-transmitting window, and the light received by the camera module will not pass through the wire in the frame area. Therefore, the light intake and imaging quality of the camera module can be improved, so that the light intake and imaging quality of the camera module can meet the use requirements. Wherein, the light-transmitting window refers to a region between two adjacent layer structures in the display screen without a non-light-transmitting layer, and the orthographic projection of the region on the reference plane is located inside the orthographic projection of the non-display area on the reference plane. For example, when the material of the non-light-transmitting layer is non-light-transmitting ink, the region between two adjacent layer structures in the display screen without brushing ink is the light-transmitting window.
[0058] The electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present application can include but is not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a handheld computer, a walkie-talkie, a netbook, a point of sales (POS) machine, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wearable device, a virtual reality device, etc. Exemplarily, the electronic device is taken as a tablet computer in the following description.
[0059] The electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present application can include but is not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a handheld computer, a walkie-talkie, a netbook, a point of sales (POS) machine, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wearable device, a virtual reality device, etc. Exemplarily, the electronic device is taken as a tablet computer in the following description.
[0060] Embodiment one
[0061] FIG. 2 is an exploded schematic view of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the electronic device of FIG. 2 from a top perspective, FIG. 4 is a schematic view of a cross-section along the A-A direction of FIG. 3, FIG. 5 is a schematic view of a perspective structure of the electronic device of FIG. 4 at position A, FIG. 6 is an enlarged schematic view of position A of FIG. 4, FIG. 7 is a schematic view of a display panel layer of the electronic device of FIG. 4 from a top perspective, and FIG. 8 is a schematic view of a wire region avoiding a light-transmitting region in FIG. 6.
[0062] Referring to FIG. 2, the electronic device can include a display screen 100, a middle frame 200, and a camera module 300 for serving as a front camera. Of course, the electronic device can also include other devices for completing the functions of the electronic device, such as a circuit board, a battery, a back cover 500 (or back shell), a rear camera, and the like. In this case, referring to FIG. 4, the back cover 500 and the display screen 100 are disposed on opposite sides of the middle frame 200 along a thickness direction Z of the electronic device and are connected to the middle frame 200, respectively. The back cover 500 and the middle frame 200 can form a receiving cavity for receiving a portion of the battery, the circuit board, the rear camera, and the front camera.
[0063] For example, referring to FIG. 5, the middle frame 200 can include a main body portion 220 and an edge portion 210. The edge portion 210 surrounds the main body portion 220 and forms a receiving groove with the main body portion 220. At least a portion of the display screen 100 is disposed inside the receiving groove, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, a portion of the display screen 100 is located inside the receiving groove. Of course, the display screen 100 can also be located inside the receiving groove.
[0064] For example, the main body portion 220 and the edge portion 210 are in an integrated structure, which can improve the connection strength of the main body portion 220 and the edge portion 210 and can be manufactured in an integrated molding manner, for example, by die casting a metal material or by CNC processing a metal plate.
[0065] The display screen 100 is connected to the middle frame 200, that is, the middle frame 200 is used to carry the display screen 100. The connection of the middle frame 200 to the display screen 100 is not limited herein. For example, the display screen 100 can be connected to the middle frame 200 by adhesion.
[0066] The display screen 100 includes a display surface and a back surface disposed opposite to each other along the thickness direction Z of the electronic device. The display surface is used to display an image, and the back surface is in contact with the main body portion 220 of the middle frame 200. When the display screen 100 is connected to the middle frame 200, the back surface is located between the main body portion 220 and the display surface along the thickness direction Z of the electronic device.
[0067] Referring to FIG. 3, the display screen 100 includes a display area 101 and a non-display area 102, the non-display area 102 surrounds the display area 101, specifically, the display area 101 and the non-display area 102 are divided by an annular boundary line. The display area 101 is used to display images, and the non-display area 102 is not used to display images. In addition, the width of the non-display area 102 is the width of the screen frame of the display screen 100. The smaller the width of the non-display area 102, the larger the screen ratio of the display screen 100.
[0068] Continuing to refer to FIG. 3, the non-display area 102 includes a light-transmitting area 108 and a peripheral area 104. The peripheral area 104 is an area of the non-display area 102 other than the light-transmitting area 108, and the peripheral area 104 is not light-transmitting, which can avoid seeing the inside of the electronic device from the peripheral area 104, thereby improving the appearance of the electronic device. The light-transmitting area 108 is capable of transmitting light, and the light-transmitting area 108 is opposite to the light-sensitive area 310 of the camera module 300 along the thickness direction Z of the electronic device (as shown in FIG. 6), so that the light outside the electronic device can irradiate the light-sensitive area 310.
[0069] The light-transmitting area 108 can be understood as an area where the light-transmitting window 103 of the non-light-transmitting layer 180 in the display screen 100 is located. Alternatively, the light-transmitting area 108 can also be understood as an area where the light path passes through the stack structure other than the cover plate 140 in the display screen 100, that is, the entire screen structure through which the light path passes can be regarded as the light-transmitting area 108, and in addition, each layer structure other than the cover plate 140 in the display screen 100 has an area (equivalent to the light-transmitting area 108) through which the light path passes. In addition, the purpose of the light-transmitting area 108 is to make the image sensor in the camera module 300 image.
[0070] Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 3, the shape of the light-transmitting area 108 can be circular. However, the shape of the light-transmitting area 108 can also be other shapes, for example, the shape of the light-transmitting area 108 can also be rectangular, oval, track circle, rectangular, etc.
[0071] Referring to FIG. 3, the light-transmitting area 108 is arranged inside the non-display area 102, which not only can improve the display area of the display area 101, but also can ensure the integrity of the display area 101, without affecting the page display and without affecting the appearance of the electronic device, and the software running on the electronic device does not need to be displayed.
[0072] Referring to FIG. 6, the display screen 100 can include a cover plate 140, an opaque layer 180, a second stack 130, a display panel layer 120, and a first stack 110. The cover plate 140, the second stack 130, the display panel layer 120, and the first stack 110 are stacked along a thickness direction Z of the electronic device. The opaque layer 180 is located on a light-outgoing side of the display panel layer 120 and between the cover plate 140 and the second stack 130.
[0073] The cover plate 140 can also be referred to as CG, and the display panel layer 120 can also be referred to as Panel.
[0074] The opaque layer 180 is located inside the non-display area 102, and the opaque layer 180 has a light-transmitting window 103 for light to pass through. Specifically, the opaque layer 180 is located inside the peripheral area 104, and at this time, the light-transmitting window 103 forms the light-transmitting area 108. In some embodiments, a part of the opaque layer 180 can also be located inside the peripheral area 104, and another part of the opaque layer 180 is located inside the light-transmitting area 108, and at this time, the light-transmitting window 103 is located inside the light-transmitting area 108.
[0075] It should be noted that the light-transmitting window 103 can be understood as a region between two adjacent layer structures in the display screen 100, which does not have the opaque layer 180, and the orthographic projection of the region on the reference plane is located inside the orthographic projection of the non-display area 102 on the reference plane. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the light-transmitting window is a region between the cover plate 140 and the second stack 130 without the opaque layer 180.
[0076] The opaque layer 180 can shield the structure below it and improve the appearance of the display screen 100. The opaque layer 180 is made of an opaque material, for example, the opaque layer 180 can be an opaque ink layer or a covering layer formed of other opaque materials. When the opaque layer 180 is an ink layer, the light-transmitting window 103 can also be referred to as a silk screen hole.
[0077] The first stack 110 is located on a side of the display panel layer 120 along the thickness direction Z of the electronic device toward the main body 220 of the middle frame 200, that is, the first stack 110 is located between the display panel layer 120 and the main body 220, or in other words, the first stack 110 is located on the backlight side of the display panel layer 120. The opposite sides of the first stack 110 are in contact with the main body 220 of the middle frame 200 and the display panel layer 120, respectively.
[0078] The second stack 130 is located on the light-out side of the display panel layer 120 and is in contact with the cover plate 140 and the light-proof layer 180 respectively, a part of the second stack 130 is located between the display panel layer 120 and the light-proof layer 180, and another part of the second stack 130 is located between the display panel layer 120 and the cover plate 140.
[0079] The orthographic projections of the second stack 130, the display panel layer 120 and the first stack 110 on the reference plane are all located inside the orthographic projection of the cover plate 140 on the reference plane, the reference plane is a plane where the length direction X and the width direction Y of the electronic device are located, for example, the orthographic projections of the second stack 130, the display panel layer 120 and the first stack 110 on the reference plane can all be rectangles, the orthographic projection of the cover plate 140 on the reference plane can be a rectangle, and the corresponding rectangles of the second stack 130, the display panel layer 120 and the first stack 110 are all located inside the corresponding rectangle of the cover plate 140. In this way, the cover plate 140 can protect the second stack 130, the display panel layer 120 and the first stack 110.
[0080] The cover plate 140 is located at the outermost side of the display screen 100, can cover the first stack 110, the display panel layer 120 and the second stack 130, and plays a supporting and protecting role to avoid damage to the first stack 110, the display panel layer 120 and the second stack 130.
[0081] Specifically, referring to FIG. 6, the distance between the edge of the display panel layer 120 and the edge portion 210 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device is greater than the distance between the edge of the cover plate 140 and the edge portion 210 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device (for example, the length direction X of the electronic device), and the cover plate 140 covers the edge of the display panel layer 120.
[0082] The distance between the edge of the first stack 110 and the edge portion 210 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device is greater than the distance between the edge of the cover plate 140 and the edge portion 210 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, and the cover plate 140 covers the edge of the first stack 110.
[0083] The distance between the edge of the second stack 130 and the edge portion 210 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device is greater than the distance between the edge of the cover plate 140 and the edge portion 210 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, and the cover plate 140 covers the edge of the second stack 130.
[0084] In order to ensure that light enters the camera module 300, the cover plate 140 is made of a light-transmitting material, for example, the material of the cover plate 140 can be glass. In some embodiments, in order to improve the surface hardness of the cover plate 140, the surface of the cover plate 140 can also be coated with a hardening layer such as aluminum oxide, so as to avoid scratching the surface of the cover plate 140.
[0085] Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 6, the first stack 110 can include a protective film 113, a flexible protective layer 112, and a reinforcing layer 111 which are stacked along the thickness direction Z of the electronic device. The protective film 113 is located between the display panel layer 120 and the flexible protective layer 112, and the protective film 113 can prevent the flexible protective layer 112 from damaging the display panel layer 120, thereby further improving the safety of the display panel layer 120. The reinforcing layer 111 is used to improve the strength of the display screen 100, and the reinforcing layer 111 is in contact with the main body part 220 of the middle frame 200, and the surface of the reinforcing layer 111 facing the main body part 220 of the middle frame 200 along the thickness direction Z of the electronic device serves as the back surface of the display screen 100. The flexible protective layer 112 is used to protect the display panel layer 120 and prevent the display panel layer 120 from being damaged.
[0086] The material of the protective film 113 is a light-transmitting material, which is not limited here. In addition, the name of the protective film 113 can also be Back Film, or the name of the protective film 113 can also be Back Plate.
[0087] The material of the reinforcing layer 111 can be copper, carbon fiber, or stainless steel, etc. In addition, the name of the reinforcing layer 111 can also be SUS.
[0088] The material of the flexible protective layer 112 is not limited here, for example, the material of the flexible protective layer 112 can be foam, in which case the flexible protective layer 112 can also be called a foam layer. Alternatively, the material of the flexible protective layer 112 can also be silicone gel.
[0089] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the first stack 110 can also remove the protective film 113 in FIG. 6, in which case the two sides of the flexible protective layer 112 are in contact with the reinforcing layer 111 and the display panel layer 120, respectively.
[0090] Exemplarily, the second stack 130 can include a transparent adhesive layer 132 and a polarizer 131 stacked along the thickness direction Z of the electronic device. Wherein, a part of the transparent adhesive layer 132 is located between the polarizer 131 and the cover plate 140, and another part of the transparent adhesive layer 132 is located between the polarizer 131 and the light-proof layer 180, for connecting the polarizer 131 and the cover plate 140. The transparent adhesive layer 132 can be made of an optically clear adhesive (OCA). The transparent adhesive layer 132 has a high light transmittance while achieving adhesion with the polarizer 131 and the cover plate 140.
[0091] Wherein, the name of the polarizer 131 can also be POL.
[0092] After the external light enters the display screen 100, it can be reflected on the internal structure of the display panel layer 120, such as the surface of the metal element. The reflected light can affect the normal display effect of the display screen 100. Therefore, the polarizer 131 can be used to eliminate the reflection inside the display panel layer 120 and improve the display effect of the display screen 100.
[0093] Referring to FIG. 6, the display panel layer 120 and the camera module 300 are arranged along the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, so that the orthogonal projection of the display panel layer 120 and the camera module 300 on a plane perpendicular to the reference plane does not overlap, and the reference plane is the plane where the length direction X and the width direction Y of the electronic device are located.
[0094] Referring to FIG. 6, the display panel layer 120 and the camera module 300 are staggered in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, so that the camera module 300 and the display panel layer 120 do not need to be provided with a safety gap in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, and thus the camera module 300 will not limit the width of the non-display area 102.
[0095] Referring to FIG. 7, the display panel layer 120 includes a pixel area 121 and a frame area 122. Wherein, the pixel area 121 forms the display area 101 and is used for displaying images. Specifically, the pixel area 121 can include a plurality of arrayed pixels, and the images can be displayed by controlling the light emission of the pixels.
[0096] The frame area 122 is not used for displaying images, and the frame area 122 can be understood as an area on the display panel layer 120 other than the pixel area 121. The frame area 122 surrounds (or encircles) the pixel area 121. For example, the orthogonal projection of the frame area 122 on the reference plane can be a rectangular ring shape, and at this time, the orthogonal projection of the pixel area 121 on the reference plane is located inside the orthogonal projection of the frame area 122 on the reference plane.
[0097] The normal projection of the frame area 122 on the reference plane is located inside the normal projection of the non-display area 102 on the reference plane. For example, the normal projection of the frame area 122 and the non-display area 102 on the reference plane are both rectangular rings, the inner diameter of the rectangular ring corresponding to the frame area 122 is smaller than the inner diameter of the rectangular ring corresponding to the non-display area 102, and the outer diameter of the rectangular ring corresponding to the frame area 122 is smaller than the outer diameter of the rectangular ring corresponding to the non-display area 102, so that the frame area 122 is located inside the non-display area 102.
[0098] The frame area 122 includes a wire 123, and the normal projection of the wire 123 on the reference plane does not overlap the normal projection of the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane, that is, the normal projection of the wire 123 in the frame area 122 on the reference plane is located outside the normal projection of the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane, that is, the wire 123 in the frame area 122 avoids the light-transmitting window 103, prevents the wire 123 from affecting the light amount and imaging quality of the camera module 300, and helps to improve the light amount and imaging quality of the camera module 300.
[0099] Referring to FIG. 7, the frame area 122 includes a wire area 1221, which can also be referred to as Border. The wire area 1221 can include one or more wires 123. Referring to FIG. 6, the normal projection of the wire area 1221 on the reference plane does not overlap the normal projection of the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane, that is, the normal projection of the wire 123 in the wire area 1221 on the reference plane is located outside the normal projection of the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane.
[0100] Referring to FIG. 8, the normal projection of the display area 101 and the wire area 1221 on the reference plane forms an avoidance area 105, that is, the pixel area 121 and the wire area 1221 form the avoidance area 105. The normal projection of the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane is located inside the avoidance area 105. That is, the normal projection of the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane is located between the normal projection of the wire area 1221 and the display area 101 on the reference plane, avoiding the normal projection of the wire 123 in the wire area 1221 on the reference plane from falling inside the normal projection of the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane, so as to improve the light amount and imaging quality of the camera module 300.
[0101] For example, the normal projection of the wire area 1221 on the reference plane can include a curved segment and two straight segments, the two ends of the curved segment are connected to the straight segments respectively, the curved segment surrounds the light-transmitting window 103, and the distance between the straight segment and the display area 101 is smaller than the maximum distance between the curved segment and the display area 101. At this time, the display area 101 is rectangular. The normal projection of the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane is circular.
[0102] It should be noted that the wiring area 1221 and the wiring 123 in the wiring area 1221 shown in FIG. 8 are only schematic and do not constitute a specific limitation on the frame area 122.
[0103] To further reduce the width of the non-display area 102, in some possible implementation manners, the orthogonal projection of the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane can be located inside the orthogonal projection of the frame area 122 on the reference plane. For example, the shape of the orthogonal projection of the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane can be circular, and the shape of the orthogonal projection of the frame area 122 on the reference plane can be a rectangular ring. The corresponding circle of the light-transmitting window 103 is located inside the corresponding rectangular ring of the frame area 122.
[0104] In this way, along a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, the edge of the display panel layer 120 is closer to the edge portion 210 than the light-transmitting window 103, which can reduce the width of the light-transmitting window 103 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, thereby further reducing the width of the non-display area 102, and further reducing the frame width of the electronic device. The frame width of the electronic device can be the width of the outer surface of the edge portion 210 from the display area 101.
[0105] To further reduce the width of the non-display area 102, in some possible implementation manners, the back of the display screen 100 can be bonded to the middle frame 200, that is, the bottom surface of the first stack 110 facing the main body portion 220 is bonded to the middle frame 200. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the bottom surface of the reinforcing layer 111 can be bonded to the main body portion 220 of the middle frame 200 through the adhesive layer 170. At this time, the orthogonal projection of the area where the first stack 110 is bonded to the main body portion 220 on the reference plane is located inside the orthogonal projection of the wiring area 1221 on the reference plane, which can further reduce the width of the non-display area 102 and further reduce the frame width of the electronic device. In addition, the back of the cover plate 140 facing the display panel layer 120 can not need to be bonded to the middle frame 200, so that the size of the cover plate 140 can be reduced, thereby further reducing the width of the non-display area 102.
[0106] To further reduce the width of the non-display area 102 and ensure the safety of the display panel layer 120, in some possible implementation manners, along a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, the spacing between the edge of the display panel layer 120 and the edge of the cover plate 140 (as shown by B in FIG. 6) can be greater than or equal to 0.15 mm and less than or equal to 0.2 mm. This can reduce the width of the non-display area 102 as much as possible on the basis of protecting the display panel layer 120 by the cover plate 140, and is helpful to achieve an extremely narrow frame design.
[0107] The interval between the edge of the display panel layer 120 and the edge of the cover plate 140 can be 0.15 mm, 0.18 mm, 0.2 mm, etc. In addition, the interval between the edge of the display panel layer 120 and the edge of the cover plate 140 can be the gap between the two in the length direction X of the electronic device.
[0108] Referring to FIG. 6, the cover plate 140 and the middle frame 200 form an annular gap 106 surrounding the cover plate 140. In order to seal the annular gap 106, in some possible implementation modes, the electronic device can further include a first filling piece (not shown in the figure), which fills the inside of the annular gap 106 to seal the annular gap 106, which can improve the appearance of the front of the electronic device. In addition, it can also avoid foreign matters such as water, dust, etc. entering the inside of the electronic device through the annular gap 106. In addition, during the assembly of the electronic device, not only can the display screen 100 be prevented from being damaged, but also the assembly precision of the middle frame 200 and the display screen 100 can be improved.
[0109] The first filling piece can fill the annular gap 106, or the first filling piece can also fill the gap formed by the display screen 100 and the middle frame 200.
[0110] Exemplarily, the first filling piece can be a first filling glue, and the cover plate 140 is bonded to the middle frame 200 through the first filling glue, which not only can seal the annular gap 106, but also can further improve the firmness of the connection between the display screen 100 and the middle frame 200. Of course, the material of the first filling piece can also be other materials.
[0111] It should be noted that the display screen 100 shown in FIG. 6 can be bonded to the middle frame 200 through the bottom surface of the first stack 110 and / or the first filling glue, to realize the fixation of the display screen 100 and the middle frame 200.
[0112] Since the first stack 110 has a layer structure formed by the light-proof material (for example, the reinforcing layer 111 and the flexible protection layer 112) inside, in some possible implementation modes, referring to FIG. 6, the first stack 110 can further include a first avoiding space 114, the first avoiding space 114 is opposite to the cover plate 103 along the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, and the depth of the first avoiding space 114 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device is less than or equal to the thickness of the first stack 110 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device.
[0113] In this way, the first avoiding space 114 at least penetrates the layer structure formed by the light-proof material in the first stack 110, to ensure that the camera module 300 can receive light. When the first avoiding space 114 penetrates the entire first stack 110, the light amount of the camera module 300 can be further improved, and the imaging quality of the camera module 300 can be improved.
[0114] The first avoiding space 114 can be understood as a space formed by a hole digging operation on the first stack 110. In this case, the first avoiding space 114 can be a blind hole or a through hole. When the first avoiding space 114 is a blind hole structure, the first avoiding space 114 can also be understood as a groove provided on the first stack 110.
[0115] In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 6, the depth of the first avoiding space 114 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device is less than the thickness of the first stack 110 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the first avoiding space 114 penetrates the reinforcing layer 111 and the flexible protective layer 112 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device. In this case, the first avoiding space 114 can be understood as a first groove provided on the first stack 110, and the opening of the first groove faces the camera module 300. Alternatively, the first avoiding space 114 can also be understood as a first through hole penetrating the reinforcing layer 111 and the flexible protective layer 112.
[0116] In another embodiment, the first avoiding space 114 can also penetrate the first stack 110 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device. For example, the first avoiding space 114 can include a first through hole and a second through hole, the first through hole is opposite to the second through hole, the first through hole penetrates the reinforcing layer 111 and the flexible protective layer 112, and the second through hole penetrates the protective film 113.
[0117] In order to connect the camera module 300 to the middle frame 200. In some possible implementations, referring to FIG. 5, the electronic device can further include a fixing member 400. The fixing member 400 can be located on the side of the camera module 300 facing away from the middle frame 200. The fixing member 400 is fixedly connected to the middle frame 200 and abuts against the camera module 300 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, so as to press the camera module 300 on the middle frame 200 and achieve the fixed connection of the camera module 300 and the middle frame 200. The fixing member 400 can be in the form of a bracket, a steel sheet or the like.
[0118] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the side of the camera module 300 facing the middle frame 200 can be bonded to the middle frame 200, and the side of the camera module 300 facing away from the middle frame 200 can abut against the appearance member (not shown in the figure) such as the back cover 500. Not only can the camera module 300 be fixed to the middle frame 200, but also the camera module 300 can be assembled with the middle frame 200 in a diagonal concealed manner, which can avoid disassembly of the middle frame 200.
[0119] For example, the intermediate member can include a structural member and a flexible buffer member. The flexible buffer member is located between the structural member and the camera module 300, and the structural member is in contact with the appearance member. By using such a structure of the intermediate member, damage to the camera module 300 can be avoided.
[0120] Referring to FIG. 6, the camera module 300 includes a light sensing region 310, which is opposite the light-transmissive window 103 along the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, and is configured to collect light entering the interior of the electronic device from the light-transmissive window 103.
[0121] To allow the light sensing region 310 to collect light, the middle frame 200 may, for example, include a mounting through hole 230, which penetrates the middle frame 200 along the thickness direction Z of the electronic device. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the mounting through hole 230 can be disposed on and penetrate the main body portion 220. Of course, the mounting through hole 230 can also be formed through the edge portion 210 and the main body portion 220. A portion of the camera module 300 extends into the mounting through hole 230 along the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, so that the light sensing region 310 is opposite the light-transmissive window 103. In this way, the light sensing region 310 of the camera module 300 can collect light passing through the light-transmissive window 103. In addition, the thickness of the middle frame 200 and the camera module 300 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device can be reduced, which helps to reduce the thickness of the electronic device.
[0122] Specifically, referring to FIG. 6, the camera module 300 can include a first portion 320 having the light sensing region 310 and a second portion 330. The first portion 320 having the light sensing region 310 is disposed inside the mounting through hole 230 and opposite the light-transmissive window 103, and the second portion 330 is located on the side of the middle frame 200 away from the display screen 100. A portion of the first portion 320 can be located on the side of the middle frame 200 facing the display screen 100 through the mounting through hole 230 (as shown in FIG. 6), or the first portion 320 is disposed inside the mounting through hole 230.
[0123] For example, referring to FIG. 6, a portion of the camera module 300 extends into the first avoiding space 114, that is, the first portion 320 extends into the first avoiding space 114 through the mounting through hole 230, which can further reduce the thickness between the camera module 300 and the display screen 100, and helps to further reduce the width of the electronic device. Of course, in some embodiments, the camera module 300 can also be located outside the first avoiding space 114.
[0124] To improve the appearance of the electronic device, in some possible implementations, the orthogonal projection of the light-transmissive window 103 on the reference plane is located inside the orthogonal projection of the portion of the camera module 300 extending into the mounting through hole 230 (i.e., the first portion 320) on the reference plane, that is, the width of the light-transmissive window 103 is less than the width of the portion of the camera module 300, so that the non-light-transmissive layer 180 shields the camera module 300, which helps to improve the appearance of the front of the electronic device.
[0125] For example, the shape of the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane can be a circle, the orthographic projection of the first portion 320 on the reference plane can be a circle, the diameter of the circle corresponding to the light-transmitting window 103 is smaller than the diameter of the circle corresponding to the camera module 300, and the circle corresponding to the light-transmitting window 103 is located inside the circle corresponding to the first portion 320, so that the camera module 300 can be shielded.
[0126] For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the light-transmitting window 103 and the display area 101 have a gap (indicated by G in FIG. 6) in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, so that the light-shielding layer 180 can shield the camera module 300, which helps to improve the appearance effect of the front of the electronic device.
[0127] For example, the gap between the light-transmitting window 103 and the display area 101 can be 0.2 mm, and of course, the gap between the light-transmitting window 103 and the display area 101 can also be greater than or less than 0.2 mm.
[0128] It should be noted that when the camera module 300 is not shielded, the gap between the light-transmitting window 103 and the display area 101 can be removed, which can further reduce the width of the non-display area 102 and help to further reduce the frame width of the electronic device.
[0129] For example, the camera module 300 can include a lens, an image sensor, and a carrier, the lens and the image sensor are respectively connected to the carrier, the light-out side of the lens is opposite to the light-sensing surface of the image sensor, and the light-in side of the lens is opposite to the light-transmitting window 103. The lens is arranged in the mounting through hole 230, and at least part of the lens is located on the side of the middle frame 200 facing the display screen 100 and inside the first avoiding space 114.
[0130] In FIG. 6, the display panel layer 120 is a flexible screen (or soft screen) structure, so that the display screen 100 is a flexible screen. The display panel layer 120 can include a display light-emitting layer 124 and a display circuit layer 125 arranged in a common layer, that is, the display light-emitting layer 124 and the display circuit layer 125 constitute a single-layer structure of the display panel layer 120. The display circuit layer 125 is used to control the display light-emitting layer 124 to emit light to realize the display of images. However, the display panel layer 120 can also be a hard screen structure, so that the display screen 100 is a Hybrid screen, a hard screen OLED, a folding screen, etc., which can reduce the frame width of the folding screen, the Hybrid screen, and the hard screen OLED without affecting the display area 101 and the effect.
[0131] In conclusion, the light-transmitting window 103 is arranged inside the non-display area 102, the display area 101 has an increased display area, the page is complete, and the software does not need to be adapted for display. In addition, the orthogonal projection of the wire 123 in the frame area 122 on the reference plane does not overlap the orthogonal projection of the light-transmitting window 103, and the wire 123 in the frame area 122 does not affect the light amount and imaging quality of the camera module 300.
[0132] In addition, extending the edge of the display panel layer 120 to the edge of the cover plate 140, so that the light-transmitting window 103 is located inside the frame area 122, can reduce the width of the light-transmitting window 103, that is, reduce the inner diameter of the light-transmitting window 103, thereby reducing the width of the non-display area 102. The display panel layer 120 and the camera module 300 are staggered in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, and the display panel layer 120 and the camera module 300 do not need to be arranged with a safety gap in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, which can reduce the width of the non-display area 102. The display screen 100 is bonded to the middle frame 200 through the bottom surface of the first stack 110, the wire area 1221 and the pixel area 121 form an avoidance area 105, the orthogonal projection of the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane is located inside the orthogonal projection of the avoidance area 105 on the reference plane, so that the orthogonal projection of the bonding area of the first stack 110 and the middle frame 200 on the reference plane is located inside the orthogonal projection of the wire area 1221 on the reference plane, which can reduce the width of the non-display area 102. When the bottom surface of the first stack 110 is bonded to the middle frame 200, the distance between the edge of the cover plate 140 and the edge of the display panel layer 120 is as small as possible, which can further reduce the width of the non-display area 102.
[0133] Embodiment II
[0134] FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0135] FIG. 9 is different from FIG. 6 in that the display screen 100 is a hard OLED screen, and at this time, the display panel layer 120 is a hard screen structure. Specifically, referring to FIG. 9, the display panel layer 120 can include a display light-emitting layer 124 and a display circuit layer 125 arranged in a stack along the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, and the display light-emitting layer 124 is located between the second stack 130 and the display circuit layer 125. The display light-emitting layer 124 and the display circuit layer 125 are two layers of glass material. The display light-emitting layer 124 can also be named Encap, and the display circuit layer 125 can also be named LTPS.
[0136] As shown in FIG. 9, the light-blocking layer 180 is located between the cover plate 140 and the second stack 130, and is located inside the non-display area 102, which can shield the device below and improve the appearance of the display screen 100. The light-blocking layer 180 has a light-transmitting window 103 for the light received by the camera module 300 to pass through.
[0137] The light-blocking layer 180 is made of a light-blocking material, for example, the light-blocking layer 180 can be a light-blocking ink layer or a cover layer formed of other light-blocking materials.
[0138] As an example, as shown in FIG. 9, the first stack 110 is located on the backlight side of the display panel layer 120, and the first stack 110 can include a flexible protective layer 112. The material of the flexible protective layer 112 can be foam or silicone gel, and of course, the material of the flexible protective layer 112 can also be other materials.
[0139] It should be noted that the first stack 110 can also be other structures, which will not be described here. In addition, when the material of the flexible protective layer 112 is foam, the name of the flexible protective layer 112 can also be foam.
[0140] As an example, as shown in FIG. 9, the second stack 130 is located on the light-emitting side of the display panel layer 120, and the second stack 130 can include a transparent adhesive layer 132 and a polarizer 131 stacked along the thickness direction Z of the electronic device. Part of the transparent adhesive layer 132 is located between the polarizer 131 and the cover plate 140, and the other part is located between the polarizer 131 and the light-blocking layer 180, which is used to connect the polarizer 131 and the cover plate 140. The transparent adhesive layer 132 can be made of optical adhesive (OCA). The transparent adhesive layer 132 realizes the adhesion of the polarizer 131 and the cover plate 140, and also has a high light transmittance.
[0141] The polarizer 131 is located between the transparent adhesive layer 132 and the display light-emitting layer 124. After the external light enters the display screen 100, it may be reflected on the surface of the internal structure of the display panel layer 120, such as a metal element, and the reflected light will affect the normal display effect of the display screen 100. Therefore, the polarizer 131 can be used to eliminate the reflection inside the display panel layer 120 and improve the display effect of the display screen 100.
[0142] As shown in FIG. 9, the bottom surface of the display screen 100 is adhered to the middle frame 200 through the adhesive layer 170, that is, the bottom of the display screen 100 is adhered to the middle frame 200, realizing the connection between the display screen 100 and the middle frame 200.
[0143] In the embodiment, the light-transmitting window 103 is arranged inside the non-display area 102, the display area 101 has an increased display area, the page is complete, and the software does not need to be adapted for display. In addition, the orthogonal projection of the wire 123 in the bezel area 122 on the reference plane does not overlap the orthogonal projection of the light-transmitting window 103, and the wire 123 in the bezel area 122 does not affect the light amount and imaging quality of the camera module 300. The first avoiding space 114 arranged on the first stack 110 can improve the light amount and imaging quality of the camera module 300.
[0144] In addition, the edge of the display panel layer 120 extends to the edge of the cover plate 140, so that the light-transmitting window 103 is located inside the bezel area 122, the width of the light-transmitting window 103 can be reduced, that is, the inner diameter of the light-transmitting window 103 is reduced, thereby reducing the width of the non-display area 102. The display panel layer 120 and the camera module 300 are staggered in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, and the display panel layer 120 and the camera module 300 do not need to be provided with a safety gap in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, so that the width of the non-display area 102 can be reduced. The bottom surface of the first stack 110 is bonded to the middle frame 200, the wire area 1221 and the pixel area 121 form an avoiding area 105, the orthogonal projection of the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane is located inside the orthogonal projection of the avoiding area 105 on the reference plane, so that the orthogonal projection of the bonding area of the first stack 110 and the middle frame 200 on the reference plane is located inside the orthogonal projection of the wire area 1221 on the reference plane, and the width of the non-display area 102 can be reduced. When the bottom surface of the first stack 110 is bonded to the middle frame 200, the distance between the edge of the cover plate 140 and the edge of the display panel layer 120 is reduced as much as possible, and the width of the non-display area 102 can be further reduced.
[0145] Embodiment three
[0146] FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0147] The difference between FIG. 10 and FIG. 6 is that the display screen 100 is a Hybrid screen, at this time, the display panel layer 120 is a hard screen structure, and the display panel layer 120 can include a display light-emitting layer 124 and a display circuit layer 125 arranged in a stack along the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, and the display light-emitting layer 124 is located between the second stack 130 and the display circuit layer 125. The display light-emitting layer 124 is a thin film structure, and the material of the display light-emitting layer 124 is similar to the polyimide (PI) material. The material of the display circuit layer 125 can be low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS), low-temperature polysilicon oxide (LTPO), etc. The name of the display light-emitting layer 124 can also be Encap, and the name of the display circuit layer 125 can also be LTPS.
[0148] The light-blocking layer 180 is located inside the non-display area 102, and can shield the remaining area of the non-display area 102 except the light-transmitting window 103, thereby improving the appearance of the display screen 100. The light-blocking layer 180 has the light-transmitting window 103, which is used for the light received by the camera module 300 to pass through.
[0149] The light-blocking layer 180 is made of a light-blocking material, for example, the light-blocking layer 180 can be a light-blocking ink layer or a covering layer formed of other light-blocking materials.
[0150] For example, referring to FIG. 10, the first stack 110 can include a flexible protective layer 112, and the material of the flexible protective layer 112 can be foam or silica gel. Of course, the material of the flexible protective layer 112 can also be other materials.
[0151] It should be noted that the first stack 110 can also be other structures, which will not be described here. In addition, when the material of the flexible protective layer 112 is foam, the name of the flexible protective layer 112 can also be foam.
[0152] For example, referring to FIG. 10, the second stack 130 can include a transparent adhesive layer 132 and a polarizer 131 stacked along the thickness direction Z of the electronic device. Part of the transparent adhesive layer 132 is located between the polarizer 131 and the cover plate 140, and the other part is located between the polarizer 131 and the light-blocking layer 180, which is used to connect the polarizer 131 and the cover plate 140. The transparent adhesive layer 132 can be made of optical adhesive (OCA). The transparent adhesive layer 132 realizes the adhesion of the polarizer 131 and the cover plate 140, and also has a high light transmittance.
[0153] The polarizer 131 is located between the transparent adhesive layer 132 and the display light-emitting layer 124. After the external light enters the display screen 100, it can be reflected on the surface of the internal structure of the display panel layer 120, such as a metal element. The reflected light can affect the normal display effect of the display screen 100. Therefore, the polarizer 131 can be used to eliminate the reflection inside the display panel layer 120 and improve the display effect of the display screen 100.
[0154] Referring to FIG. 10, the bottom surface of the display screen 100 is adhered to the middle frame 200 through the adhesive layer 170, that is, the bottom of the display screen 100 is adhered to the middle frame 200, thereby realizing the connection between the display screen 100 and the middle frame 200.
[0155] In the embodiment, the light-transmitting window 103 is arranged inside the non-display area 102, the display area of the display area 101 is increased, the page is complete, and the software does not need to be displayed. In addition, the orthogonal projection of the wire 123 in the frame area 122 on the reference plane does not overlap with the orthogonal projection of the light-transmitting window 103, and the wire 123 in the frame area 122 does not affect the light amount and imaging quality of the camera module 300. The first avoiding space 114 is arranged on the first stack 110, which can improve the light amount and imaging quality of the camera module 300.
[0156] In addition, the edge of the display panel layer 120 extends to the edge of the cover plate 140, so that the light-transmitting window 103 is located inside the frame area 122, which can reduce the width of the light-transmitting window 103, that is, reduce the inner diameter of the light-transmitting window 103, thereby reducing the width of the non-display area 102. The display panel layer 120 and the camera module 300 are staggered in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, and the display panel layer 120 and the camera module 300 do not need to be arranged with a safety gap in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, which can reduce the width of the non-display area 102. The display screen 100 is bonded to the middle frame 200 through the bottom surface of the first stack 110, the wire area 1221 and the pixel area 121 form an avoiding area 105, the orthogonal projection of the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane is located inside the orthogonal projection of the avoiding area 105 on the reference plane, so that the orthogonal projection of the bonding area of the first stack 110 and the middle frame 200 on the reference plane is located inside the orthogonal projection of the wire area 1221 on the reference plane, which can reduce the width of the non-display area 102. When the bottom surface of the first stack 110 is bonded to the middle frame 200, the distance between the edge of the cover plate 140 and the edge of the display panel layer 120 is reduced as much as possible, which can further reduce the width of the non-display area 102.
[0157] Embodiment four
[0158] FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, and FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of another electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0159] The difference between FIG. 11 and FIG. 6 is that the electronic device further includes a second avoiding space 133, which can improve the light transmittance of the second stack 130, thereby further improving the light transmittance of the area opposite to the light-sensitive area 310 of the camera module 300 of the display screen 100. Specifically, referring to FIG. 11, the first stack 110 includes a first avoiding space 114, and the second stack 130 includes a second avoiding space 133. The first avoiding space 114 is opposite to the light-transmitting window 103 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, and the second avoiding space 133 is opposite to the light-transmitting window 103 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device.
[0160] The first avoiding space 114 penetrates at least the layer structure formed by the opaque material in the first stack 110, so as to ensure that the camera module 300 receives light. In addition, the light entering the camera module 300 can pass through the second avoiding space 133, so as to improve the light transmittance of the second stack 130 and the imaging quality of the camera module 300. Therefore, the light amount and the imaging quality of the camera module 300 can be further improved.
[0161] In some embodiments, the first avoiding space 114 and the second avoiding space 133 have the same inner diameter, and the axes of the first avoiding space 114 and the second avoiding space 133 coincide. In other embodiments, the first avoiding space 114 and the second avoiding space 133 have different inner diameters, and the axes of the first avoiding space 114 and the second avoiding space 133 can coincide or be staggered.
[0162] The first avoiding space 114 has been described in detail in Embodiment One, and thus will not be described in detail here.
[0163] The second avoiding space 133 can be understood as a space formed by the hole digging operation on the second stack 130, and in this case, the second avoiding space 133 can be a blind hole or a through hole. When the second avoiding space 133 is a blind hole structure, the first avoiding space 114 can also be understood as a groove provided on the second stack 130.
[0164] The depth of the second avoiding space 133 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device is less than or equal to the thickness of the second stack 130 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device. For example, referring to FIG. 11, the depth of the first avoiding space 114 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device is less than the thickness of the first stack 110 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the depth of the first avoiding space 114 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device can be equal to the thickness of the first stack 110 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device.
[0165] In an embodiment, the depth of the second avoiding space 133 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device is equal to the thickness of the second stack 130 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, and in this case, the second avoiding space 133 penetrates the second stack 130, for example, the second avoiding space 133 penetrates the transparent adhesive layer 132, the light uniformizing film 134 and the polarizer 131, and in this case, the second avoiding space 133 can be understood as a through hole penetrating the transparent adhesive layer 132, the light uniformizing film 134 and the polarizer 131.
[0166] In another implementation, the depth of the second avoiding space 133 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device can also be less than the thickness of the second stack 130 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, i.e., the second avoiding space 133 can also penetrate a part of the second stack 130 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device. For example, the second avoiding space 133 can penetrate the polarizer 131. Or in another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the second avoiding space 133 can also penetrate the light uniform film 134. Or in another embodiment, the second avoiding space 133 can also penetrate the polarizer 131 and the light uniform film 134. Or in another embodiment, the second avoiding space 133 can also penetrate the transparent adhesive layer 132 and the light uniform film 134.
[0167] FIG. 13 is a schematic cross-sectional view of another electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, and FIG. 14 is a schematic cross-sectional view of another electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0168] In order to improve the reliability of the light transmission window 103, in some possible implementations, as shown in FIG. 13, the display screen 100 further comprises a second filling piece 160 which is transparent to light and is located inside the second avoiding space 133. In this way, the deformation of the second stack 130 during the assembly of the electronic device can be avoided, and the cover plate 140 can be supported, thereby improving the reliability of the light transmission window 103. In addition, the light can be converged, which helps to reduce the width of the light transmission window 103 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device. Furthermore, when the material of the second filling piece 160 is a high refractive index material, the optical effect of the camera module 300 can be further improved.
[0169] For example, the second filling piece 160 can be an optically clear adhesive (OCA). After the second avoiding space 133 is formed by drilling a hole in the second stack 130, the optically clear adhesive is filled inside the second avoiding space 133.
[0170] In addition to the optically clear adhesive, the second filling piece 160 can also be other transparent materials. Since the second filling piece 160 is no longer a flexible material such as an optically clear adhesive, in order to avoid damage to the second stack 130 caused by the second filling piece 160, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 14, the second filling piece 160 has a gap with the inner wall of the second avoiding space 133 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device.
[0171] In the present embodiment, the display panel layer 120 is a soft screen structure, but in some embodiments, the display panel layer 120 can also be a hard screen structure.
[0172] In the embodiment, the light-transmitting window 103 is arranged inside the non-display area 102, the display area 101 has an increased display area, the page is complete, and the software does not need to be adapted for display. In addition, the orthogonal projection of the wire 123 in the bezel area 122 on the reference plane does not overlap the orthogonal projection of the light-transmitting window 103, and the wire 123 in the bezel area 122 does not affect the light amount and imaging quality of the camera module 300. By arranging the first avoiding space 114 and the second avoiding space 133, the light amount and imaging quality of the camera module 300 can be further improved.
[0173] In addition, extending the edge of the display panel layer 120 to the edge of the cover plate 140, so that the light-transmitting window 103 is located inside the bezel area 122, can reduce the width of the light-transmitting window 103, i.e., reduce the inner diameter of the light-transmitting window 103, thereby reducing the width of the non-display area 102. The display panel layer 120 and the camera module 300 are staggered in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, and the display panel layer 120 and the camera module 300 do not need to be arranged with a safety gap in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, which can reduce the width of the non-display area 102. The display screen 100 is bonded to the middle frame 200 through the bottom surface of the first stack 110, the wire area 1221 and the pixel area 121 form an avoiding area 105, the orthogonal projection of the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane is located inside the orthogonal projection of the avoiding area 105 on the reference plane, so that the orthogonal projection of the bonding area of the first stack 110 and the middle frame 200 on the reference plane is located inside the orthogonal projection of the wire area 1221 on the reference plane, which can reduce the width of the non-display area 102. When the bottom surface of the first stack 110 is bonded to the middle frame 200, the distance between the edge of the cover plate 140 and the edge of the display panel layer 120 is as small as possible, which can further reduce the width of the non-display area 102.
[0174] Embodiment five
[0175] FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0176] The difference between FIG. 15 and FIG. 6 is that the display screen 100 further includes an avoiding through hole 150, the avoiding through hole 150 penetrates the first stack 110, the display panel layer 120 and the second stack 130, and the avoiding through hole 150 is opposite to the light-transmitting window 103 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device. In this way, the light transmittance of the light-transmitting window 103 can be improved, and the imaging quality of the camera module 300 can be further improved.
[0177] It should be noted that the inner diameter of the avoidance through hole 150 can be different in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device. In addition, the avoidance through hole 150 can be understood as formed by a plurality of through holes penetrating through each layer structure. For example, the display screen 100 can include a first through hole, a second through hole and a third through hole, any two of the first through hole, the second through hole and the third through hole are opposite in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, the first through hole penetrates through the flexible protective layer 112 and the reinforcing layer 111, the second through hole penetrates through the protective film 113, and the third through hole penetrates through the second stack 130 and the display panel layer 120. At this time, the first through hole, the second through hole and the third through hole can jointly form the avoidance through hole.
[0178] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane can be located inside the avoidance through hole 150. For example, the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting window 103 and the avoidance through hole 150 on the reference plane can both be circular, and the diameter of the circular corresponding to the light-transmitting window 103 is smaller than the diameter of the circular corresponding to the avoidance through hole 150. In other embodiments, the orthographic projection of the avoidance through hole 150 on the reference plane can also be located inside the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane.
[0179] In this embodiment, the light-transmitting window 103 is arranged inside the non-display area 102, the display area 101 increases in display area, the page is complete, and the software does not need to be displayed. In addition, the orthographic projection of the wiring 123 in the frame area 122 on the reference plane does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting window 103, and the wiring 123 in the frame area 122 will not affect the light amount and imaging quality of the camera module 300. The avoidance through hole 150 penetrates through the first stack 110, the display panel layer 120 and the second stack 130, which can further improve the light amount and imaging quality of the camera module 300.
[0180] In addition, extending the edge of the display panel layer 120 to the edge of the cover plate 140 so that the light-transmitting window 103 is located inside the frame area 122 can reduce the width of the light-transmitting window 103, i.e., reduce the inner diameter of the light-transmitting window 103, thereby reducing the width of the non-display area 102. The display panel layer 120 is staggered with the camera module 300 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, and the display panel layer 120 and the camera module 300 do not need to be provided with a safety gap in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, which can reduce the width of the non-display area 102. The display screen 100 is bonded to the middle frame 200 through the bottom surface of the first stack 110, the wire area 1221 and the pixel area 121 form an avoidance area 105, the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane is located inside the orthographic projection of the avoidance area 105 on the reference plane, so that the orthographic projection of the bonding area of the first stack 110 and the middle frame 200 on the reference plane is located inside the orthographic projection of the wire area 1221 on the reference plane, which can reduce the width of the non-display area 102. When the bottom surface of the first stack 110 is bonded to the middle frame 200, the spacing between the edge of the cover plate 140 and the edge of the display panel layer 120 is reduced as much as possible, which can further reduce the width of the non-display area 102.
[0181] Embodiment six
[0182] FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, and FIG. 17 is a schematic view of a wire area avoiding the light-transmitting window 103 in FIG. 16.
[0183] The difference between FIG. 16 and FIG. 6 is that the wire area 1221 is bypassed from the inner side of the light-transmitting window 103 close to the display area 101, which can also improve the light amount and imaging quality of the camera module 300. Specifically, referring to FIG. 17, the display area 101 and the light-transmitting window 103 are provided with a part of the orthographic projection of the wire area 1221 on the reference plane between the orthographic projections of the display area 101 and the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane, that is, the orthographic projection of the wire area 1221 on the reference plane should be located between the orthographic projections of the light-transmitting window 103 and the display area 101 on the reference plane, and the orthographic projection of the wire 123 of the wire area 1221 on the reference plane is located inside the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane, which can also improve the light amount and imaging quality of the camera module 300.
[0184] It should be noted that the wire area 1331 shown in FIG. 17 is only schematic and does not specifically limit the shape and position of the wire area 1331.
[0185] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 16, the wiring area 1221 and the light-transmitting window 103 have a gap (as shown by K in FIG. 16) in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, so that the light-blocking layer 180 can shield the camera module 300, improving the aesthetic appearance of the electronic device. Of course, in other embodiments, the gap between the light-transmitting window 103 and the wiring area 1221 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device can also be zero.
[0186] Illustratively, referring to FIG. 16, the light-transmitting window 103 and the edge of the display panel layer 120 have a gap (as shown by L in FIG. 16) in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, so that the light-blocking layer 180 shields the camera module 300, improving the aesthetic appearance of the electronic device.
[0187] Illustratively, referring to FIG. 16, the cover plate 140 is connected to the middle frame 200 and forms a cavity 107 with the middle frame 200, and the first stack 110, the display panel layer 120, and the second stack 130 are all located inside the cavity 107, which can prevent water, dust, and other foreign matter from entering the inside of the cavity 107, ensuring the performance of the display panel layer 120.
[0188] Illustratively, the bottom surface of the cover plate 140 facing the display panel layer 120 is bonded to the middle frame 200, achieving fixation of the display screen 100 to the middle frame 200. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, a glue layer 170 is provided between the bottom surface of the cover plate 140 and the edge portion 210 of the middle frame 200, or the cover plate 140 can be connected to the edge portion 210 of the middle frame 200 by means of point gluing.
[0189] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 16, the middle frame 200 includes an edge portion 210 and a main body portion 220, and the edge portion 210 surrounds the main body portion 220 and forms a mounting through hole 230 with the main body portion 220, the mounting through hole 230 being opposite to the light-transmitting window 103, so that the camera module 300 is opposite to the light-transmitting window 103. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting through hole 230 can also be provided on the main body portion 220 and penetrate through the main body portion 220.
[0190] Illustratively, referring to FIG. 16, the edge portion 210 and any one of the display panel layer 120 and the second stack 130 have a gap in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device (as shown by the X direction in FIG. 16), which can prevent the display panel layer 120 and the second stack 130 from being damaged. In order to further reduce the width of the frame of the electronic device, the gap between the edge portion 210 and any one of the display panel layer 120 and the second stack 130 can be controlled within a reasonable range, for example, controlled within 0.1mm-0.2mm.
[0191] In an embodiment, referring to FIG. 16, the first stack 110 includes a first avoiding space 114, and a depth of the first avoiding space 114 is less than a thickness of the first stack 110. In another embodiment, the depth of the first avoiding space 114 can also be equal to the thickness of the first stack 110.
[0192] In an embodiment, the first avoiding space 114 can be a notch, for example, as shown in FIG. 16, the first avoiding space 114 is a notch avoiding the flexible protective layer 112 and the reinforcing layer 111, and a depth of the notch avoiding space in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device is less than a depth of the first stack 110. The orthographic projection of the notch avoiding space on the reference plane can be a circular ring with a notch, and of course, the orthographic projection of the notch avoiding space on the reference plane can also be other shapes.
[0193] In another embodiment, the first avoiding space 114 can also be a hole structure penetrating at least part of the first stack 110.
[0194] In some embodiments, the second stack 130 shown in FIG. 16 can also include a second avoiding space 133 (not shown in FIG. 16). Alternatively, in other embodiments, the display screen 100 shown in FIG. 16 can also include an avoiding through hole 150 (not shown in the figure) penetrating the first stack 110, the display panel layer 120 and the second stack 130.
[0195] Exemplarily, the display panel layer 120 can be a soft screen structure. However, in some embodiments, the display panel layer 120 can also be a hard screen structure.
[0196] In the embodiment, the light-transmitting window 103 is arranged inside the non-display area 102, the display area 101 increases, the page is complete, and the software does not need to be adapted for display. In addition, the orthographic projection of the wire 123 in the bezel area 122 on the reference plane does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting window 103, and the wire 123 in the bezel area 122 will not affect the light amount and imaging quality of the camera module 300. The light amount and imaging quality of the camera module 300 can be further improved by arranging at least one of the avoiding through hole 150, the first avoiding space 114 and the second avoiding space 133.
[0197] In addition, extending the edge of the display panel layer 120 to the edge of the cover plate 140, so that the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting window 103 on the reference plane is located inside the orthographic projection of the frame area 122 on the reference plane, can reduce the width of the light-transmitting window 103, that is, reduce the inner diameter of the light-transmitting window 103, thereby reducing the width of the non-display area 102. The display panel layer 120 is staggered with the camera module 300 in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, and the display panel layer 120 and the camera module 300 do not need to be provided with a safety gap in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction Z of the electronic device, which can reduce the width of the non-display area 102.
[0198] In summary, on the basis of ensuring the integrity of the display area 101 and the performance of the camera module 300, in order to realize narrow frame, one or more of the above-mentioned embodiments one to six can be used to reduce the frame width of the electronic device, that is, the various schemes for reducing the frame width of the electronic device described in embodiments one to six can be freely combined, for example, can include but not limited to the following several kinds: the first scheme is that the display panel layer 120 and the camera module 300 are arranged in the thickness direction Z of the electronic device; the second scheme is to widen the display panel layer 120 and cover the light-transmitting window 103; the third scheme is that the back of the display screen 100 is connected with the middle frame 200, and the wiring area 1221 avoids the outside of the light-transmitting window 103 away from the display area 101, and the bonding area of the back of the display screen 100 and the middle frame 200 at least partially opposite to the wiring area 1221; the fourth scheme is to reduce the distance between the edge of the cover plate 140 and the edge of the display panel layer 120 as much as possible when the bottom surface of the display screen 100 is bonded to the middle frame 200.
[0199] In addition, while realizing narrow frame through different schemes, the wiring area 1221 can avoid the inside or outside of the light-transmitting window 103, for example, the wiring area 1221 in the above-mentioned embodiment one can avoid the outside of the light-transmitting window 103, or, as in the above-mentioned embodiment six, the wiring area 1221 can avoid the inside of the light-transmitting window 103.
[0200] In addition, in order to improve the imaging quality and light amount of the camera module 300, one of the following schemes can be included but not limited to: the first is to set the first avoiding space 114 on the first stack 110; the second is to set the second avoiding space 133 on the second stack 130; the third is to set the first avoiding space 114 on the first stack 110 and the second avoiding space 133 on the second stack 130. The fourth is to set an avoiding through hole 150 penetrating through the first stack 110, the second stack 130 and the display panel layer 120.
[0201] Finally, the type of the display screen 100 can be a folding screen, a flexible screen, a Hybrid screen, a hard-screen OLED, etc., which can be freely combined with various schemes for realizing a narrow frame, various schemes for improving light transmittance, and two ways of avoiding the light-transmitting window 103 in the wiring area 1221.
