It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
The embodiment of the invention can be applied to various mobile terminals with cameras.
In order to solve the problem that the forehead size of the terminal is too large, the invention provides the terminal, which can reduce the forehead size of the terminal, and can balance the thickness of the terminal and the forehead size of the terminal, so that the appearance of the terminal reaches an optimal appearance state.
The terminal in the embodiment of the invention is described by taking a mobile phone as an example.
Fig. 3 schematically illustrates a terminal in a specific implementation according to an embodiment of the present invention, including: a camera module 101, a display module 102, and a main board (not labeled in the drawing); the first flexible circuit board 103 of the camera module 101 is electrically connected with the motherboard along a first direction, an extension line of the first direction intersects with an extension line of a second direction, and the second direction is an arrangement direction of the display module and the camera module. The first flexible wiring board 103 may be an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit, flexible wiring board) in a specific implementation.
Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram schematically illustrating a wire outgoing direction of a first flexible circuit board of a camera module of a mobile phone according to the prior art, as shown in fig. 4. As can be seen from fig. 4, the first flexible circuit board 103 of the camera module 101 of the mobile phone is led out along the direction of the display module 102, which causes the forehead of the mobile phone to be too wide in size, and affects the appearance of the mobile phone. The outgoing line direction of the first flexible circuit board 103 of the terminal camera module 101 is electrically connected with the main board along the first direction, and the extension line of the first direction is intersected with the extension line of the second direction, wherein the first direction is the direction from the camera module 101 to the receiver module, and the second direction is the arrangement direction of the display module and the camera module, that is, the outgoing line direction of the first flexible circuit board 103 of the mobile phone camera module 101 is changed from the longitudinal direction towards the display module 102 to the transverse direction not towards the display module, so that the problem of oversized forehead of the mobile phone can be avoided, the problem of excessive thickness of the mobile phone can be further avoided, and the appearance effect of the mobile phone is effectively improved. In the present invention, the first direction is only required to be not parallel to the second direction, more preferably, the first direction is completely staggered from the second direction and is approximately perpendicular to the second direction, for example, the first direction is a direction of the camera module towards the receiver module, and the receiver module is usually located at the top end of the terminal and is located at approximately the same horizontal position as the camera module.
Fig. 5 schematically illustrates a structure of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5. The terminal also includes: the camera module 101 and the display module 102 further comprise a first flexible circuit board 103 connected with the camera module 101 and second flexible circuit boards 104 and 1012 connected with the display module 102, wherein the forehead width of the mobile phone is represented by 1012. In fig. 5, the scheme of the present invention changes the direction along the display module 102 of the first flexible circuit board 103 connected with the camera module 101 from the direction along the receiver on the basis of fig. 2, so that some space can be vacated between the camera module 101 and the display module 102, and the display module 102 and the camera module 101 are closer to each other, thereby reducing the width of the forehead of the mobile phone and shortening the length of the mobile phone as a whole.
Optionally, the camera module 101 further includes a housing, where the housing is located on one side of the display module and has a groove, where the groove is matched with the thickness of the display module, and one end of the display module is located in the groove. Specifically, there is a housing on the outer surface of the camera module 101, and a recess is formed on the housing on the side close to the display module 102, the recess exactly matches the thickness of the display module 102, and the end of the display module 102 close to the recess is placed in the recess, so that the display module 102 is closer to the camera module 101. The matching is only required to be that the thickness of the groove can put the display module 102 in. In a specific implementation, the housing includes a surrounding bone and/or a bracket for securing the camera module 101. Under the condition that the shell comprises a surrounding bone, a first groove is formed in one side, close to the display module, of the surrounding bone, and one end of the display module is located in the first groove; when the shell comprises a bracket, a second groove is formed in one side, close to the display module, of the bracket, and one end of the display module is positioned in the second groove; when the shell comprises a surrounding bone and a support, the surrounding bone is positioned close to one side of the display module and provided with a first groove, the support is positioned close to one side of the display module and provided with a second groove, the first groove and the second groove form the groove, and one end of the display module is positioned in the groove. More specifically, the surrounding bone is cut with a notch on the side close to the display module 102, the support is also provided with a notch on the side of the display module 102, and the two notches can form a groove which is exactly matched with the thickness of the display module 102, so that a part of the display module 102 exists in the surrounding bone and the groove of the support, the internal space of the mobile phone can be compressed, manufacturing materials of the mobile phone are saved, and the length of the whole mobile phone can be reduced. The thickness of the display module is not more than the thickness of the shell of the camera module, and the shell of the camera module also has a certain redundant thickness, so that the redundant thickness can be removed, and the space is increased for placing the display module. For better understanding of the camera module 101 further comprises a housing, the housing is provided with a groove on one side of the display module, the groove is matched with the thickness of the display module, and the effect of one end of the display module being positioned in the groove is shown in fig. 6, which is an exemplary diagram of the effect of the groove being matched with the thickness of the display module, as shown in fig. 6. In fig. 6, 1013 represents a housing for fixing the camera module 101, that is, includes a surrounding bone and a bracket, 1014 represents a housing for fixing the camera module 101, and the housing is located in a groove on one side of the display module 102, the groove 1014 is exactly matched with the display module 102, and a part of the display module 102 is exactly inserted into the groove 1014, where in a specific implementation, the surrounding bone and the bracket are located on a bottom shell of the camera module 101 for fixing the camera module 101, and generally, the height of the surrounding bone and the bracket is about two thirds of the height of the body of the camera module 101. As can be seen from fig. 6, the size of the forehead of the mobile phone can be shortened by exactly matching a portion of the display module 102 with the recess 1014 formed by the surrounding bone and the bracket of the camera module 101 of the mobile phone.
Optionally, the terminal further comprises a fixing part; the fixed part sets up on enclosing the bone, and the fixed part is used for fixed camera module. In a specific implementation, since the surrounding bone and the bracket of the mobile phone are cut off to a small part, the fixing effect of the camera module 101 of the mobile phone is reduced, so that fixing parts similar to ears can be welded around the camera module 101 respectively, and the fixing parts are hung through holes of the fixing parts, thereby achieving the effect of reinforcing the camera module 101.
Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of a biometric module of a mobile phone when the display module of the prior art is inverted, as shown in fig. 7. In fig. 7, 106 represents the chin of the mobile phone, 107 represents the forehead of the mobile phone, in the prior art, because there is interference between the electronic device portion 108 and the biometric module 105, in order to avoid the interference, the electronic device portion 108 is placed at the position 109, 109 also represents the electronic device portion, and because the electronic device portion 108 is replaced at the position 109, the chin 106 of the mobile phone can be narrowed, the chin 106 of the mobile phone can be more attractive in overall appearance, and further, fingerprint recognition is more excellent, but the forehead width 107 of the mobile phone can be widened. This is a problem of oversized forehead of the mobile phone when the display module 102 is inverted in the prior art. Based on this, the terminal of the present embodiment further includes a biometric module 105; in an implementation, the biometric module 105 may be a fingerprint module of a mobile phone, and fig. 8 illustrates an exemplary biometric module of a mobile phone in an implementation, as shown in fig. 8. The camera module 101 is located at the top of the terminal, the biological identification module 105 is located at the bottom of the terminal and is not overlapped with the display module 102, and the second flexible circuit board 104 of the display module 102 is located below the camera module 101. In fig. 8, a space around the outside of the display module 102 is a projection space of the display module 102.
Therefore, in order to solve the problem, in the embodiment of the invention, the outgoing line direction of the FPC of the rear camera module of the mobile phone is changed from the outgoing line direction towards the display module 102 to the outgoing line direction towards the earphone, so that the neck glue of the first flexible circuit board 103 of the camera module 101 and the bending space of the first flexible circuit board 103 do not appear on the forehead of the mobile phone. In a specific implementation, the camera module 101 may be a dual-camera module, and if the camera module is a dual-camera module, then the first flexible circuit board of the camera module 101 includes a first sub-flexible circuit board and a second sub-flexible circuit board, where the first sub-flexible circuit board and the second sub-flexible circuit board are electrically connected with the motherboard along the first direction respectively. In specific implementation, the first sub-flexible circuit board and the second sub-flexible circuit board can be two FPCs of the double-camera module, and outgoing lines of the two FPCs can be combined on one FPC. Optionally, the first sub-flexible circuit board of the dual-camera module is electrically connected with the main board through a first connector; the second sub-flexible circuit board of the double-camera module is electrically connected with the main board through a second connector. Wherein, in a specific implementation, the first connector and the second connector may be one of the following: ZIF (Zero Insertion Force ) connectors or BTB (Board-to-Board) connectors, which may also be referred to as gold finger connectors.

In fig. 9, the first two 9 (1) and 9 (2) are structural diagrams of a conventional terminal, and the third 9 (3) is structural diagram of a terminal of the present invention. As can be seen from fig. 9, the terminal of the present invention is a preferred terminal that balances the excessive thickness and the forehead width of the existing terminal, and can solve both the thickness problem and the forehead size problem. In a specific implementation, by adopting the terminal and adopting a mode of changing the wire outgoing direction of the first flexible circuit board 103 of the camera module 101 of the terminal from the direction towards the display module 102 to the direction towards the earphone, the length of the whole machine is shortened by about 3mm compared with that of a common mode, and the terminal is well accepted by customers.
