Description

Camera assembly and electronic equipment

Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, in particular to a camera component and the electronic equipment.

Background

With the continuous improvement of the screen occupation ratio requirements of consumers on electronic equipment, research and development staff propose screen structure schemes such as narrow frames, liu Haibing, water drop screens, hole digging screens (containing through holes and blind holes) and the like aiming at the scheme for improving the screen occupation ratio of the electronic equipment; the mechanical telescopic structure is introduced, and then the compound scheme of the front camera with the traditional structure is matched; or a double-screen scheme is adopted, and only the rear camera is reserved and is used as a front camera and a rear camera at the same time; even the camera of flip structure is used with the rearmounted camera upset for leading the camera. The design purpose of all the above structural schemes is to further improve the screen occupation ratio of the electronic equipment so as to obtain a larger visual field experience.

The screen is damaged by Liu Haibing structures such as a water drop screen and the like, so that the cost of the screen is relatively increased; and, the aesthetic sense of the integrated screen is visually deteriorated, and a part of consumers are not acceptable. Other comprehensive screen schemes (such as a telescopic structure camera, a scheme of canceling a front double-screen scheme which only keeps a rear one and a scheme of turning the camera) have higher requirements on the whole machine, the structural complexity is increased, the stacking and detailed design difficulties of the whole machine are increased, and the cost is correspondingly increased. The design scheme of the narrow frame and the hole digging screen is used on a plurality of electronic devices, so that the integral feeling of the whole machine is stronger, but the screen occupation ratio is smaller than other schemes and is difficult to break through due to the size of the front camera and the difference of the assembly method.

Detailed Description

The application is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It is specifically noted that the following examples are only for illustrating the present application, but do not limit the scope of the present application. Likewise, the following examples are only some, but not all, of the examples of the present application, and all other examples, which a person of ordinary skill in the art would obtain without making any inventive effort, are within the scope of the present application.

Reference in the specification to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of such phrases in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. Those of skill in the art will explicitly and implicitly appreciate that the described embodiments of the application may be combined with other embodiments.

As used herein, a "communication terminal" (or simply "terminal") includes, but is not limited to, a device configured to receive/transmit communication signals via a wireline connection, such as via a public-switched telephone network (PSTN), a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), a digital cable, a direct cable connection, and/or another data connection/network, and/or via a wireless interface, such as for example, for a cellular network, a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), a digital television network, such as a DVB-H network, a satellite network, an AM-FM broadcast transmitter, and/or another communication terminal. A communication terminal configured to communicate through a wireless interface may be referred to as a "wireless communication terminal", "wireless terminal", or "mobile terminal". Examples of mobile terminals include, but are not limited to, satellites or cellular telephones; a Personal Communications System (PCS) terminal that may combine a cellular radiotelephone with data processing, facsimile and data communications capabilities; a PDA that can include a radiotelephone, pager, internet/intranet access, web browser, organizer, calendar, and/or a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver; and conventional laptop and/or palmtop receivers or other electronic devices that include a radiotelephone transceiver. The mobile phone is a mobile terminal configured with a cellular communication module.

The technical scheme of the application is mainly to improve the structures of the comprehensive screen such as the narrow frame and the hole digging screen so as to further narrow the ring Zhou Heibian of the camera of the narrow frame and the hole digging screen, thereby increasing the screen occupation ratio of the electronic equipment. The technical scheme for the narrow frame is mainly used for achieving the purpose of 'small head' (the non-display area at the top of the electronic equipment is reduced), and the technical scheme for the hole digging screen is mainly used for achieving the purpose of reducing the edge of the ring Zhou Hei of the camera.

For the technical scheme of the narrow frame, the related technical means generally adopts the structural design shown in fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of an electronic device with a narrow frame, in which a front camera 11 is sealed with a glass cover 13 by foam 12 for dust prevention; meanwhile, the foam 12 is also used for shielding the light emitted by the display screen 14, so that the light emitted by the display screen 14 is prevented from being projected into the camera to generate 'ghosting'. Further, the range shown in FIG. 1A may represent a non-display area of display 14, with the width of the A area typically being 0.95-1.5mm. The range shown in fig. 1B may represent the gap between the display screen 14 and the camera 11, and the width of the B region may be only 0.8-0.9mm at the minimum because the size of the foam 12 is large and the assembly gap between the camera 11 and the display screen 14 needs to be reserved. The range shown in fig. 1C may represent the gap between the camera 11 and the edge of the glass cover 13. Thus, the (a+b+c) width in fig. 1 may represent the black edge size of the electronic device. In the design scheme of the comprehensive screen with a narrow frame, the main purpose is to minimize the width (A+B+C), so as to increase the screen occupation ratio of the electronic equipment.

Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3 together, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a partial side view of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the application, and fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a bottom view of the electronic device along the X direction in fig. 2.

It should be noted that, the electronic device in the embodiment of the present application may be a terminal device with a camera, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a wearable device, etc. The electronic device includes, but is not limited to, a transparent cover plate 100, a housing 200, a display screen 300, a camera module 400, and a light shielding structure 500. The housing 200 is connected to the transparent cover plate 100, and encloses a receiving space (not shown in fig. 2) therein, where the display screen 300, the camera module 400, the light shielding structure 500, and other structural components are disposed. Further, only structural components relevant to the present application are given in the illustration of the structure of the electronic device and the description of the components in the embodiment of the present application; the application will not be described in detail with respect to other structural components of the electronic device (e.g., circuit boards, processors, etc.).

The transparent cover plate 100 includes a first surface 110 and a second surface 120 disposed opposite to each other. The transparent cover plate 100 may be made of glass or transparent resin, and corresponds to a rigid screen or a flexible screen, respectively. The display screen 300 is attached to the first surface 110 of the transparent cover plate 100, so that the thickness of the electronic device can be reduced, and the touch sensitivity of the display screen 300 can be increased. The area of the display screen 300 is smaller than that of the first surface 110, so that the transparent cover plate 100 can completely cover the display screen 300, thereby protecting the display screen 300. The second surface 120 of the transparent cover plate 100 serves as an outer surface of the electronic device for the consumer to interact with and may be used to receive touch operations such as clicking, sliding, etc. from the user. Of course, in other embodiments, the second surface 120 may further be provided with other film layers, such as a tempered film, a frosted film, a decorative film, a peep-proof film, a hydrogel film, and the like, so that the electronic device provides different experience effects for the consumer.

The terms "first" and "second" in the present application are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defining "a first" or "a second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature.

The camera module 400 and the display 300 are disposed on the same side of the transparent cover 100, for example, on a side close to the first surface 110; the camera module 400 is disposed adjacent to the display 300 in parallel. Further, the camera module 400 includes a fixing base 410 and a lens 420. The fixing base 410 may be used for mounting and fixing the camera module 400, for example, the camera module 400 is fixed to the housing 200 through the fixing base 410. The lens 420 may be disposed towards the first surface 110 of the transparent cover plate 100, so as to directly collect the ambient light passing through the transparent cover plate 100, so that the electronic device can implement the functions of face recognition, photographing, payment, etc. through the camera module 400. Of course, in other embodiments, the lens 420 may be disposed not toward the first surface 110 of the transparent cover plate 100, for example, by disposing a prism between the lens 420 and the transparent cover plate 100, and reflecting the ambient light passing through the transparent cover plate 100 to the lens 420, which may also enable the electronic device to achieve the above functions.

Further, a first extension surface 430 is disposed on one side of the fixing base 410 connected to the lens 420, and a second extension surface 440 is disposed on the other side of the fixing base 410 connected to the lens 420. The second extension surface 440 and the first extension surface 430 are located on opposite sides of the lens 420, as shown in fig. 2.

In this embodiment, the display screen 300 abuts against the first extension surface 430 and the side surface of the lens 420, as shown in fig. 2, so that the distance between the camera module 400 and the display screen 300 is reduced to be extremely small, and the screen duty ratio of the electronic device is increased; the thickness of the electronic device can also be reduced. Theoretically, if the processing precision and the assembly precision allow, the distance between the camera module 400 and the display screen 300 can be zero, so that the black edge size of the electronic device is greatly reduced, and the screen occupation ratio of the electronic device is greatly increased.

The range indicated by Q1 in fig. 3 may represent a black area of the electronic device, i.e., the area from the broken line to the edge of the transparent cover plate 100, i.e., the area that is not displayable as seen on the front panel of the electronic device. The range shown at Q2 in fig. 3 may represent the area between the display screen 300 and the edge of the transparent cover plate 100. Wherein the difference between Q1 and Q2, i.e., (Q1-Q2) ranges may represent the non-display area 310 of the display 300, which is generally used to provide the routing, etc. of the display 300.

Referring again to fig. 2, the range shown in fig. 2D (i.e., the range shown in fig. 3 (Q1-Q2)) may represent the non-display area 310 (typically 0.95-1.5 mm) of the display 300, and this width is generally determined by the structure of the display 300 itself, and is not within the scope of the present embodiment; accordingly, areas of the display screen 300 other than the non-display area 310 described above may represent the display area 320 in preparation for consumer interaction with the electronic device. In some embodiments, the display area 320 and the non-display area 310 are disposed adjacent to each other, and may correspond to a narrow bezel. In other embodiments, the display area 320 is disposed partially around the non-display area 310, which may correspond to Liu Haibing, water drop screens. In other embodiments, the display area 320 is disposed entirely around the non-display area 310, and may correspond to a scoop screen. The range shown in fig. 2E may represent a gap between the camera module 400 and the display screen 300. In this embodiment, the display screen 300 abuts against the first extension surface 430 and the side surface of the lens 420, that is, the non-display area 310 of the display screen 300 is overlapped with the first extension surface 430; the width of E can theoretically be minimized to 0. The range shown by F in fig. 2 may represent the width of the camera module 400 to the edge of the transparent cover plate 100. Thus, the (d+e+f) width in fig. 2 may represent the black edge size of the electronic device (i.e., Q1 in fig. 3). In the design scheme of the comprehensive screen with a narrow frame, the main purpose is to minimize the width (D+E+F), so as to increase the screen occupation ratio of the electronic equipment.

Further, the light shielding structure 500 is disposed between the camera module 400 and the transparent cover plate 100. In one aspect, the light shielding structure 500 can be used for blocking the light emitted by the display screen 300, so as to avoid the interference of the light emitted by the display screen 300 on the camera module 400, that is, to eliminate the "ghosting" phenomenon of the camera module 400. On the other hand, for the lens 420, the light shielding structure 500 may also function as a diaphragm. Wherein, the diaphragm refers to an entity which plays a limiting role on the light beam in the optical system; according to the application scene and the different requirements, the device mainly comprises an aperture diaphragm, a field diaphragm, a vignetting diaphragm, an stray light eliminating diaphragm and the like. Of course, the lens 420 itself may be provided with the diaphragm described above. In this embodiment, the light shielding structure 500 may be located in the black area Q1 of the electronic device, as shown in fig. 2 and 3. At this time, the influence of the width of the light shielding structure 500 on the screen ratio of the electronic device may be almost ignored, and the aperture effect of the light shielding structure 500 on the lens 420 may be considered more.

Referring to fig. 4 and fig. 5 together, fig. 4 is a schematic side view of an embodiment of the camera module in fig. 2, and fig. 5 is a schematic top view of the camera module in fig. 4.

The light shielding structure 500 is disposed in a ring shape and disposed on a side of the lens 420 facing the transparent cover plate 100, and the light shielding structure 500 is disposed coaxially with the lens 420. Further, the light shielding structure 500 and the lens 420 may be integrally formed by bi-injection molding, so that the light shielding structure 500 can support the transparent cover plate 100, thereby increasing the tightness between the light shielding structure 500 and the transparent cover plate 100, and further preventing the light emitted by the display screen 300 from leaking to the lens 420. Moreover, the material of the light shielding structure 500 may be soft rubber, such as liquid silicone rubber or thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber (e.g. TPU, etc.), so that the lens 420 and the transparent cover plate 100 are in flexible contact from rigid contact. Wherein, the width W1 of the shading structure 500 can be 0.1-0.5mm, and further can be 0.1-0.3mm; while the width W1 of the light shielding structure 500 in this embodiment may be 0.1mm or 0.2mm. Further, the amount of compression deformation of the light shielding structure 500 against the first surface 110 of the transparent cover plate 100 is 0.05-0.1mm, i.e. the light shielding structure 500 is in a slightly compressed deformation state. The compression deformation is a dimensional deformation of the light shielding structure 500 in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 110 of the transparent cover 100 (i.e., a thickness direction of the electronic device); that is, the pre-interference amount between the light shielding structure 500 and the transparent cover 100 when the camera module 400 is assembled to the electronic device needs to ensure that the light shielding structure 500 is pressed or reliably supported on the first surface 110 of the transparent cover 100.

In other embodiments, the light shielding structure 500 may be a light shielding glue, which may be formed on at least one of the transparent cover 100, the lens 420, and the non-display area 310 of the display screen 300 by dispensing. In other embodiments, the light shielding structure 500 may be a light shielding tape or a light shielding ink layer, where the light shielding tape is at least adhered to at least one of the transparent cover plate 100, the lens 420 and the non-display area 310 of the display screen 300, or the light shielding ink layer is at least coated on at least one of the transparent cover plate 100, the lens 420 and the non-display area 310 of the display screen 300.

Referring to fig. 2 again, fig. 2E shows an assembly gap between the display screen 300 and the camera module 400, which is a reserved gap when the camera module 400 is assembled. Wherein the size of the assembly gap E may be set between 0.1-0.5 mm. As can be seen from the above description of fig. 1, a relatively large assembly gap (a minimum of only 0.8-0.9 mm) is required in order to set the foam 12 in the related art. In contrast, in the present embodiment, by disposing the light shielding structure 500 on the side of the lens 420 close to the transparent cover plate 100, the black edge width can be reduced by more than 0.5mm, so as to reduce the size of the assembly gap E between the camera module 400 and the display screen 300 in fig. 2, and further increase the screen ratio of the electronic device.

Referring to fig. 6 and fig. 7 together, fig. 6 is a schematic side view of another embodiment of the camera module in fig. 2, and fig. 7 is a schematic top view of the camera module in fig. 6.

Unlike the above embodiment, the lens 420 of the camera module 400 of the present embodiment is provided with two annular light shielding structures 500 (a first light shielding structure 510 and a second light shielding structure 520) on one side close to the transparent cover plate 100. Through the design of this kind of dual shading structure, can realize dual assurance, guarantee the reliability of shading effect.

The heights of the first light shielding structure 510 and the second light shielding structure 520 (the minimum distance between the vertex of the first light shielding structure and the lens 420 is not shown) may be set to be a difference. For example: the previous embodiment describes that the amount of compression set of the shade structure 500 may be 0.05-0.1mm. Then, the height difference between the first light shielding structure 510 and the second light shielding structure 520 of the present embodiment may be set to be half of the compression deformation amount, i.e., 0.025-0.05mm. This ensures that at least one of the first light shielding structure 510 and the second light shielding structure 520 abuts the first surface 110 of the transparent cover plate 100. In addition, when any one of the first light shielding structure 510 and the second light shielding structure 520 is damaged or fails, the other one can continuously support the first surface 110 of the transparent cover plate 100, thereby ensuring the reliability of light shielding.

Further, other structures of this embodiment are the same as or similar to those of any of the above embodiments, and will not be described herein.

Referring to fig. 8 and fig. 9 together, fig. 8 is a schematic side view of an embodiment of the transparent cover plate in fig. 2, and fig. 9 is a schematic bottom view of the transparent cover plate in fig. 8.

The present embodiment is mainly aimed at further improvement of the structure of the transparent cover plate 100 and the structural cooperation between the light shielding structure 500 and the transparent cover plate 100. The first surface 110 of the transparent cover plate 100 is provided with a sink 111, and the annular opaque sheet (i.e. the light shielding structure 500) is adhered to the sink 111. Further, the depth of the sinking groove 111 may be reasonably designed according to the thickness of the transparent cover plate 100 and the overall strength of the transparent cover plate 100, or may be larger than the thickness of the light shielding structure 500.

Referring to fig. 8 to fig. 10 together, fig. 10 is a schematic structural diagram of a shading structure attached to a sink groove formed on a first surface of the transparent cover plate in fig. 8. The advantage of this kind of structural design lies in, can reduce the clearance between camera module 400 and the transparent cover plate 100 for camera module 400 can be close to transparent cover plate 100 more, and then reaches the purpose that reduces electronic equipment's thickness. Of course, in other embodiments, the light-shielding ink layer may be applied to the sink 111, or the light-shielding glue may be molded into the sink 111 by dispensing or the like; the structure of the sinking groove 111 is not limited to the annular structure in the present embodiment, and may have other shapes.

Referring to fig. 11, fig. 11 is a schematic partial side view of another embodiment of an electronic device according to the present application.

The present embodiment is mainly directed to further improvement of the structure of the display screen 300. The display screen 300 is bent and arranged at a side edge close to the camera module 400 in a direction away from the transparent cover plate 100. Specifically, the non-display area 310 is folded away from the transparent cover plate 100; and, the end surface of the non-display area 310 may abut against the first extension surface 430. The advantage of this design is that the size D in fig. 11 can be further reduced by bending the non-display area 310 of the display 300. Any of the above embodiments mainly reduces the size of E in fig. 11, and in this embodiment, reduces the sizes of D and E in fig. 11 at the same time, so that the black edge size (d+e+f) of the electronic device is further reduced, thereby further increasing the screen duty ratio of the electronic device.

Referring to fig. 12 and fig. 13 together, fig. 12 is a schematic diagram illustrating a partial side view of an electronic device according to another embodiment of the application, and fig. 13 is a schematic diagram illustrating a bottom view of the electronic device along the X direction in fig. 12.

The present embodiment mainly aims at further improving the structure of the camera module 400, and specifically improves the structure of the fixing base 410. The width of the second extension surface 440 is smaller than that of the first extension surface 430, as shown in fig. 12 and 13, so that the fixing base 410 has an irregular structure. The advantage of this structural design is that, by locally reducing the structural size of the fixing base 410, not only can the fixing base 410 meet the installation and fixing requirements of the camera module 400, but also the camera module 400 can be integrally closer to the middle frame portion of the housing 200, thereby reducing the size of F in fig. 12, so as to achieve the purpose of further reducing the size of the black edge, and further increasing the screen occupation ratio of the electronic device.

Optionally, the side of the lens 41 away from the display screen 300 is coplanar with the side of the fixing base 410 away from the display screen 300, so that the width of the second extension surface 440 is 0, and thus the side of the camera module 400 away from the display screen 300 is flush with the end surface of the transparent cover plate 100. At this time, the value of the F size in fig. 12 is the size of the lens 420. For example: if a lens 420 with a diameter of 3.5mm is chosen, then F in FIG. 12 can be made 3.5mm.

Referring to fig. 14 and 15 together, fig. 14 is a schematic partial side view of an electronic device according to another embodiment of the application, and fig. 15 is a schematic bottom view of the electronic device along the X direction in fig. 14.

In this embodiment, a diaphragm cover 610 is disposed on a side of the camera module 400 close to the transparent cover plate 100, and the camera module 400 and the diaphragm cover 610 are collectively referred to as a camera module 600. Wherein, the diaphragm cover 610 may be used to limit the ambient light passing through the transparent cover plate 100, so that the camera module 400 may obtain different imaging effects; the aperture cover 610 may be an aperture stop, a field stop, a vignetting stop, an anti-stray light stop, etc. according to the application scene and the requirements.

Optionally, the diaphragm cover 610 is a separate structural member and may be detachably connected with the camera module 400 by a buckle, a thread, an adhesive, or the like, so as to increase the diversity of the camera module 600, and further enable the camera module 400 to implement more functions. Of course, in other embodiments, the diaphragm cover 610 and the camera module 400 (e.g. the lens 420) may be integrally formed, which may simplify the assembly process of the camera module 600 and increase the compactness of the structure.

Where the range G shown in fig. 14 may represent the non-display area 310 (typically 0.95-1.5 mm) of the display 300, this width is typically determined by the structure of the display 300 itself, and is not within the scope of the discussion of the present embodiment; accordingly, areas of the display screen 300 other than the non-display area 310 described above may represent the display area 320 in preparation for consumer interaction with the electronic device. The range shown as H in fig. 14 may represent the gap between the camera assembly 600 and the display screen 300. The range shown as I in fig. 14 may represent the width of the camera assembly 600 to the edge of the transparent cover plate 100. Therefore, the (g+h+i) width in fig. 14 may represent the black side size of the electronic device. In the design scheme of the comprehensive screen with a narrow frame, the main purpose is to minimize the width (G+H+I), so as to increase the screen occupation ratio of the electronic equipment; in this embodiment, the two dimensions H, I are minimized.

The inventor of the present application has long studied to find that: for the integral structural member of the diaphragm cover 610 and the camera module 400, the diameter of the lens 420 is generally larger than 3mm. However, if the diaphragm cover 610 is peeled off from the camera module 400 and split into two separate structural members, the diameter of the lens 420 may be smaller than 3mm without affecting the imaging effect of the camera module 400, which makes it possible to further increase the screen ratio of the electronic device.

An aspect of this embodiment is to further improve the structure of the camera module 600, specifically, the structure of the diaphragm cover 610. Wherein, the diaphragm cover 610 and the camera module 400 are two independent structural components, and the diaphragm cover 610 can be covered on the camera module 400; also, the lens 420 of the camera module 400 may have a diameter less than or equal to 3mm. The advantage of this structural design is that the lens 420 of the camera module 400 can be made small by peeling the diaphragm cover 610 from the camera module 400, so as to reduce the size I in fig. 14, thereby achieving the purpose of further reducing the size of the black edge, and further increasing the screen duty ratio of the electronic device.

Referring to fig. 14 to fig. 16 together, fig. 16 is a schematic structural view of an embodiment of the diaphragm cover in fig. 14.

The diaphragm cover 610 includes a connection portion 611 and a functional portion 612. The connection portion 611 is used for connecting with the camera module 400, specifically, can be connected with the lens 420 of the camera module, or simultaneously connected with the lens 420 and the fixing seat 410 of the camera module 400; so that the diaphragm cover 610 and the camera module 400 can form a structural assembly. The functional portion 612 is disposed corresponding to the lens 420 of the camera module 400, and the functional portion 612 is provided with a through hole 613, and the through hole 613 is used as a light incident hole of the lens 420 of the camera module 400, so that ambient light passing through the transparent cover plate 100 can reach the lens 420 of the camera module 400. Further, the diameter of the through hole 613 is smaller than the diameter of the lens 420 of the camera module 400, so that the diaphragm cover 610 plays a role of shading the lens 420; also, the aperture size of the through hole 613 affects parameters such as the maximum tilt angle and the maximum field of view imaged by the lens 420 to some extent.

Optionally, the through hole 613 is coaxially disposed with the lens 420 of the camera module 400, as shown in fig. 14, so that the ambient light passing through the transparent cover plate 100 directly passes through the through hole 613 to reach the lens 420, thereby enabling the electronic device to implement the functions of face recognition, photographing, payment, etc. through the camera module 600. Of course, in other embodiments, the through hole 613 may not be disposed coaxially with the lens 420, for example, the ambient light passing through the through hole 613 may be reflected to the lens 420 by a structure such as a prism disposed between the through hole 613 and the lens 420, which may also enable the electronic device to achieve the above functions.

Further, at least one side of the functional portion 612 is provided with a notch structure 614, and as shown in fig. 16, the notch structure 614 serves as a mounting avoidance area of the camera module 600. In this embodiment, the two sides of the functional portion 612 are respectively provided with the notch structures 614 (that is, the functional portion 612 is provided with two notch structures 614), and any one of the two notch structures 614 can be used as the avoidance area where the camera module 600 and the display screen 300 are cooperatively installed for illustration.

Optionally, the notch structure 614 forms the functional portion 612 and the connecting portion 611 into a hollow-out-like structure, so that the notch structure 614 has a large enough accommodating space, thereby increasing the mounting avoidance area of the camera module 600. Further, the notch structure 614 is chamfered or rounded at the interface between the functional portion 612 and the connecting portion 611 to increase the structural strength of the interface, thereby increasing the reliability of the diaphragm cover 610.

Referring to fig. 14 to 17, fig. 17 is a schematic top view of another embodiment of the diaphragm cover in fig. 14.

Unlike the previous embodiments, the cutout structure 614 adjacent to the display screen 300 in this embodiment extends tangentially to the through hole 613 to enable the display screen 300 to be tangential to the light entrance aperture of the camera assembly 600. In this way, the size of I in fig. 14 can be further reduced, so as to achieve the purpose of further reducing the size of the black edge, and further increase the screen duty ratio of the electronic device.

Further, other structures of the present embodiment are the same as or similar to those of the above embodiment, and will not be described herein.

Referring again to fig. 14 and 15, a portion of the structure of the display 300 (i.e., the non-display area 310) extends to the cutout structure 614. At this time, the projection of the camera assembly 600 on the first surface 110 of the transparent cover plate 100 at least partially overlaps the projection of the display screen 300 on the first surface 110 of the transparent cover plate 100. Specifically, the projection of the connection portion 611 on the first surface 110 of the transparent cover 100 at least partially overlaps the projection of the non-display area 310 on the first surface 110 of the transparent cover 100, so as to reduce the size I in fig. 14, thereby further reducing the size of the black edge, and further increasing the screen ratio of the electronic device.

Further, a light shielding structure 500 is disposed between the display screen 300 and the camera module 600, and the light shielding structure 500 is used for blocking light emitted by the display screen 300, so as to avoid interference of the light emitted by the display screen 300 on the camera module 600. Because the diaphragm cover 610 may be a hollow structure, the light shielding structure 500 is mainly disposed on the display screen 300 and the vicinity thereof. Specifically, the non-display area 310 includes a first contact surface 311, a second contact surface 312, and a side surface 313 connecting the first contact surface 311 and the second contact surface 312, where the first contact surface 311 is disposed near the transparent cover plate 100. The light shielding structure 500 is disposed between the first contact surface 311 and the transparent cover 100 and between the side surface 313.

Optionally, the material of the light shielding structure 500 between the first contact surface 311 and the transparent cover plate 100 and the side surface 313 is soft rubber, such as liquid silicone rubber or thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber, so that the display screen 300 is in flexible contact with the transparent cover plate 100 and the diaphragm cover 610 from rigid contact. In this way, the light shielding structure 500 can support the transparent cover plate 100, the display screen 300 and the diaphragm cover 610, on one hand, tightness among the transparent cover plate 100, the display screen 300 and the diaphragm cover 610 can be increased through the light shielding structure 500, so that light emitted by the display screen 300 is prevented from being leaked to the camera module 400; on the other hand, the flexible buffer function can be realized among the three. Alternatively, the hardness of the material of the light shielding structure 500 may be smaller than that of the material of the diaphragm cover 610, and of course, in some other embodiments, the hardness of the two may be the same or similar. The diaphragm cover 610 may be made of resin, plastic, rubber, or the like, and is not particularly limited herein, so long as it is ensured that the diaphragm cover can be reliably connected with the camera module 400 and is convenient to assemble.

Alternatively, in the present embodiment, the compression deformation of the light shielding structure 500 against the transparent cover plate 100 may be 0.05-0.1mm, that is, the light shielding structure 500 is in a slightly compressed deformation state. As a reliable and practical example, the amount of compression deformation of the shade structure 500 in this embodiment may be 0.08mm. The compression deformation amount may be a dimensional deformation amount of the light shielding structure 500 in a direction perpendicular to the transparent cover plate 100 (i.e., a thickness direction of the electronic device). Further, the width of the light shielding structure 500 is less than or equal to 0.3mm, thereby minimizing the H size in fig. 14. In this embodiment, the width of the light shielding structure 500 may be 0.1-0.3mm, and further may be 0.1-0.2mm. As an example of a reliable and practical product, the width of the light shielding structure 500 in this embodiment may be 0.15mm.

In other embodiments, the light shielding structure 500 between the first contact surface 311 and the transparent cover 100 and the side 313 may be a light shielding glue, and the light shielding glue may be formed on the first contact surface 311 and the side 313 of the non-display area 310 of the display screen 300 by dispensing or the like. The thickness of the light shielding glue is used as a reference to prevent light emitted by the display screen 300 from leaking to the camera module 400, and the smaller the thickness of the light shielding glue is, the better the smaller the thickness of the light shielding glue is, so that the H size in fig. 14 can be reduced, and the thickness of the electronic equipment can also be reduced. In other embodiments, the light shielding structure 500 between the first contact surface 311 and the transparent cover plate 100 and the side 313 may be a light shielding tape or a light shielding ink layer, where the light shielding tape is adhered to the non-display area 310 of the display screen 300, or the light shielding ink layer is coated on the non-display area 310 of the display screen 300. The thickness of the light shielding tape or the light shielding ink layer is smaller and better with the reference that the light emitted by the display screen 300 can be prevented from leaking to the camera module 400, so that the H size in fig. 14 can be reduced, and the thickness of the electronic device can be reduced. Of course, in other embodiments, the light shielding structure 500 between the first contact surface 311 and the transparent cover plate 100 may be different from the side surface 313. For example, the light shielding structure 500 between the first contact surface 311 and the transparent cover plate 100 is light shielding glue; the light shielding structure 500 of the side 313 is a light shielding ink layer.

Referring to fig. 18, fig. 18 is a schematic view of a partial enlarged structure of another embodiment of the light shielding structure in fig. 15.

Unlike the above embodiments, the light shielding structure 500 between the display screen 300 and the camera module 600 of the present embodiment is disposed in an arc shape, and the arc-shaped light shielding structure 500 is bent towards the camera module 600. The advantage of this design is that a better shading effect can be achieved by using a shorter shading structure 500, i.e. reducing the influence of the light emitted by the display 300 on the camera assembly 600.

Referring to fig. 16 again, the functional portion 612 is provided with a light shielding structure 500 at a side facing away from the camera module 400, and the light shielding structure 500 is further used for blocking light emitted by the display screen 300, so as to avoid interference of the light emitted by the display screen 300 on the camera module 600. At this time, the light shielding structure 500 may not be disposed in the non-display area 310 (e.g., the first contact surface 311) of the display panel 300, and a better light shielding effect may be achieved.

The light shielding structure 500 is disposed in a ring shape and is disposed coaxially with the through hole 613. Further, the light shielding structure 500 and the functional portion 612 may be integrally formed by bi-color injection molding, so that the light shielding structure 500 can support the transparent cover plate 100, thereby increasing the tightness between the light shielding structure 500 and the transparent cover plate 100, and further preventing the light emitted from the display screen 300 from "leaking" to the lens 420. Moreover, the material of the light shielding structure 500 may be soft rubber, such as liquid silicone rubber or thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber, so that the lens 420 and the transparent cover plate 100 are in flexible contact from rigid contact. The width of the shading structure 500 can be 0.1-0.5mm, and further can be 0.1-0.3mm; whereas the width of the light shielding structure 500 in this embodiment may be 0.1mm or 0.2mm. Further, the amount of compression deformation of the light shielding structure 500 against the first surface 110 of the transparent cover plate 100 is 0.05-0.1mm, i.e. the light shielding structure 500 is in a slightly compressed deformation state. The compression deformation is a dimensional deformation of the light shielding structure 500 in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 110 of the transparent cover 100 (i.e., a thickness direction of the electronic device); that is, the amount of pre-interference between the light shielding structure 500 and the transparent cover plate 100 when the camera module 600 is assembled to the electronic device needs to ensure that the light shielding structure 500 is pressed or reliably supported on the first surface 110 of the transparent cover plate 100.

Further, the functional portion 612 is provided with a positioning blocking wall 614 at a side facing away from the camera module 400, and the positioning blocking wall 614 is disposed between the light shielding structure 500 and the through hole 613. The positioning blocking wall 614 is used for limiting the positional relationship between the light shielding structure 500 and the through hole 613, so as to prevent the light shielding structure 500 made of soft rubber from expanding towards the through hole 613 when being damaged or failed, thereby preventing the through hole 613 from being reduced due to the above situation, and further preventing the size of the field of view of the lens 420 from being affected. In some embodiments, the light shielding structure 500 and the functional portion 612 are integrally formed by two-shot molding. At this time, the height of the positioning blocking wall 614 is smaller than the height of the light shielding structure 500, so as to prevent the positioning blocking wall 614 from limiting the field size of view of the lens 420. In other embodiments, the positioning wall 614 is disposed around the through hole 613, and the light shielding structure 500 is disposed around the positioning wall 614 away from the outer periphery of the through hole 613. At this time, the light shielding structure 500 may be a light shielding tape adhered to the positioning barrier 614, or may be a light shielding ink layer coated on the positioning barrier 614; moreover, the shielding structure 500 can achieve a better shielding effect as long as it surrounds at least one half of the positioning wall 614, and the part of the shielding structure 500 faces the display screen 300.

The following is a brief description of an electronic device with a screen.

Referring to fig. 19 and fig. 20 together, fig. 19 is a schematic diagram illustrating a partial side view of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the application, and fig. 20 is a schematic diagram illustrating a bottom view of the electronic device along the X direction in fig. 19.

The electronic device of the present embodiment includes, but is not limited to, a transparent cover plate 100, a housing 200, a display screen 300, a camera module 400, and a light shielding structure 500. The housing 200 is connected to the transparent cover plate 100, and encloses a receiving space 210, and the display screen 300, the camera module 400, the light shielding structure 500, and other structural components are disposed in the receiving space 210.

The transparent cover plate 100 includes a first surface 110 and a second surface 120 disposed opposite to each other. The transparent cover plate 100 may be made of glass or transparent resin, and corresponds to a rigid screen or a flexible screen, respectively. The display screen 300 is attached to the first surface 110 of the transparent cover plate 100, so that the thickness of the electronic device can be reduced, and the touch sensitivity of the display screen 300 can be increased. The display screen 300 is provided with a light hole 330 and is used as a light incident hole of the camera module 400. The second surface 120 of the transparent cover plate 100 serves as an outer surface of the electronic device for the consumer to interact with and may be used to receive touch operations such as clicking, sliding, etc. from the user. Of course, in other embodiments, the second surface 120 may further be provided with other film layers, such as a tempered film, a frosted film, a decorative film, a peep-proof film, a hydrogel film, and the like, so that the electronic device provides different experience effects for the consumer.

The camera module 400 and the display 300 are disposed on the same side of the transparent cover 100, for example, on a side close to the first surface 110. The lens 420 of the camera module 400 is disposed corresponding to the light hole 330 and faces the first surface 110 of the transparent cover 100. An annular shading structure 500 is arranged on one side of the lens 420 of the camera module 400, which is close to the transparent cover plate 100, and the shading structure 500 supports the first surface 110 of the transparent cover plate 100 in a region corresponding to the light holes 330. The light shielding structure 500 is used for blocking light emitted by the display screen 300, so as to avoid interference of the light emitted by the display screen 300 on the camera module 400.

Optionally, the width of the light shielding structure 500 may be 0.1-0.5mm, and further may be 0.1-0.3mm; whereas the width of the light shielding structure 500 in this embodiment may be 0.1mm or 0.2mm. Further, the amount of compression deformation of the light shielding structure 500 against the first surface 110 of the transparent cover plate 100 is 0.05-0.1mm. Wherein, the compression deformation is the dimensional deformation of the light shielding structure 500 in the direction perpendicular to the first surface 110 (i.e. the thickness of the electronic device); that is, when the camera module 400 is assembled to the electronic device, the pre-interference amount between the light shielding structure 500 and the transparent cover 100 needs to ensure that the light shielding structure 500 is pressed or reliably supported on the first surface 110 of the transparent cover 100.

Further, for the specific structure of the camera module 400 and the light shielding structure 500 and the relationship therebetween, please refer to the related description of any one of the above embodiments, and the detailed description is omitted herein.

The range J shown in FIG. 19 may represent a non-display area 310 (typically 0.95-1.5 mm) of the display 300, which width is typically determined by the structure of the display 300 itself and is not within the discussion of the present embodiment; accordingly, areas of the display screen 300 other than the non-display area 310 described above may represent the display area 320 in preparation for consumer interaction with the electronic device. The range shown by K in fig. 19 may represent an assembly gap between the display screen 300 and the camera module 400, which serves as a reserve gap when the camera module 400 is assembled. Wherein the size of the assembly gap K may be set between 0.1 and 0.5 mm. As can be seen from the above description of fig. 1, a relatively large assembly gap (a minimum of only 0.8-0.9 mm) is required in order to set the foam 12 in the related art. In contrast, the size of the assembly gap K between the camera module 400 and the display screen 300 in fig. 19 can be greatly reduced by disposing the light shielding structure 500 on the side of the lens 420 close to the transparent cover plate 100, so as to increase the screen ratio of the electronic device. The range indicated by L in fig. 19 may represent the black circle size of the electronic device (as indicated by the broken line in fig. 20). Of course, in other embodiments, the light holes 330 may have other shapes, and this embodiment only uses the light holes 330 as circular holes for illustration. In the overall screen design of the hole digging screen, the main purpose is to minimize the size of L, thereby increasing the screen duty ratio of the electronic device.

Similarly, in this embodiment, a diaphragm cover (not shown in fig. 19) may be disposed on a side of the camera module 400 close to the transparent cover plate 100, and the diaphragm cover and the camera module 400 are two separate structural members, so that a diameter of the lens 420 of the camera module 400 may be less than or equal to 3mm. The advantage of this design is that the lens 420 of the camera module 400 can be made smaller by peeling the diaphragm cover from the camera module 400, thereby reducing the size of L in fig. 19 and further achieving the purpose of further reducing the size of the black circle.

Further, for the specific structure of the light shielding cover and the relationship between the light shielding cover and the camera module 400 and the light shielding structure 500, please refer to the related description of any one of the above embodiments, and the detailed description is omitted herein.

Referring to fig. 21, fig. 21 is a schematic partial side view of another embodiment of an electronic device according to the present application.

The present embodiment is mainly directed to further improvement of the structure of the display screen 300. The display screen 300 is bent and arranged at a side edge close to the camera module 400 in a direction away from the transparent cover plate 100. Specifically, the non-display area 310 is folded away from the transparent cover plate 100; and, the end surface of the non-display area 310 may abut against the first extension surface 430. The advantage of this design is that the size of J in fig. 21 can be further reduced by bending the non-display area 310 of the display 300. The above embodiment mainly reduces the size of K in fig. 21, and in this embodiment, reduces the sizes of J and K in fig. 21 at the same time, so that the black circle size L of the electronic device is further reduced, thereby further increasing the screen duty ratio of the electronic device.

Referring to fig. 22, fig. 22 is a schematic partial side view of an electronic device according to another embodiment of the application.

In this embodiment, the camera module 400 is fixed to the housing 200 through the bracket 210. The housing 200 may be a middle frame portion of an electronic device. Further, the housing 200 is provided with a mounting hole 220, the bracket 210 is embedded in the mounting hole 220, and the camera module 400 is fixedly connected with the bracket 210 and penetrates through the mounting hole 220.

Optionally, foam 230 may be disposed between the camera module 400 and the bracket 210, where the foam 230 may play a role in vibration damping on one hand, and may play a role in adhesion and positioning on the other hand, and is specifically used for positioning in the up-down direction of the camera module 400. The outer diameter of the camera module 400 and the inner diameter of the bracket 210 are matched and positioned, and the left and right directions of the camera module 400 are fixed. Further, the bracket 210 and the housing 200 may be clamped or adhered by dispensing the glue 240.

All directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back … …) in this embodiment are merely used to explain the relative positional relationship, movement, etc. between the components in a particular gesture (as shown in fig. 22), and if the particular gesture changes, the directional indication changes accordingly.

The present embodiment can fix the camera module 400 by designing the structures of the housing 200 and the bracket 210. In addition, the housing 200 is provided with the mounting hole 220, and the camera module 400 is inserted into the mounting hole 220, so that the thickness of the electronic device can be reduced.

The foregoing description is only a partial embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application, and all equivalent devices or equivalent processes using the descriptions and the drawings of the present application or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields are included in the scope of the present application.
