Detailed Description
The following describes in further detail embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, a side view of a conventional notebook computer structure is shown. As described above, the notebook computer in the prior art is mainly composed of the main body 100 and the display screen 102. The display screen 102 is hinged to the main body 100 by a hinge 104(hinge), so that the display screen 102 can be opened and closed by rotating relative to the main body 100 with the hinge 104 as a rotation axis. The display panel 106 and its panel circuit board 108 are disposed within the display screen 102 and connected by a flexible circuit board 110. In addition, the panel circuit board 108 is connected to a main circuit board 114 located inside the host body 100 by a cable 112. However, if the transparent display screen 102 is designed, the panel circuit board 108 must be disposed in the main body 100, otherwise the view is blocked, and the visual perspective effect cannot be achieved, but the flexible circuit board 110 is too large to be connected into the main body via the hinge 104 like the cable 112, and if the flexible circuit board 110 is exposed, the appearance of the product is impaired, and the protection is not facilitated. Therefore, the present invention provides a novel notebook computer structure, which realizes the design of the transparent display screen 102.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3 in combination, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a preferred embodiment of a notebook computer structure according to the present invention, and fig. 3 is an exploded schematic diagram of the notebook computer structure in fig. 2. In the embodiment, the notebook computer is also composed of the main body 100 and the display screen 102, but the display screen 102 is a transparent display screen, so the panel circuit board 108 must be disposed in the main body 100, otherwise the view line is blocked and the visual perspective effect cannot be realized. The display screen 102 includes a display panel 106 connected to a panel circuit board 108 in the main body 100 through a flexible circuit board 110, a transparent front cover 300 and a transparent rear cover 302 sandwiching the display panel 106 therebetween, and a panel outer frame 304, the transparent front cover 300 and the transparent rear cover 302 form a closed space to accommodate the display panel 106. In the embodiment, the display panel 106 is an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) panel, but the invention is not limited thereto, and any transparent display panel is within the scope of the invention. The main body 100 has a shaft 304 on each side, and in this embodiment, the main body 100 has a top cover 306 and a bottom frame 308, which together form the main body 100, so the shaft 304 is disposed on each side of the top cover 306 in this embodiment. A rear frame 310 is disposed at the rear side of the display screen 102, and a first front frame 312 and a second front frame 314 are disposed at the front side of the display screen 102, thereby forming a mechanism to cover the flexible circuit board 110 during the opening and closing of the display screen 102. Specifically, the rear frame 310 is hinged to the main body 100 through the hinge 104, and in the present embodiment, the rear frame 310 is hinged to the bottom frame 308. The first front frame 312 supports the display screen 102 together with the rear frame 310 and sandwiches the flexible circuit board 110 therebetween. One side of the second front frame 314 contacts the first front frame 312 to cover the flexible circuit board 110 in the opened state of the display screen 102, and has grooves 316 corresponding to the posts 304 on both sides thereof and combined with the posts 304. The display screen 102, the rear frame 310 and the first front frame 312 can rotate relative to the main body 100 by using the hinge 104 as a rotation axis, and the second front frame 314 performs a rotation motion with a variable axis center through the combination of the groove 316 and the shaft pillar 304 during the rotation.
To facilitate a further understanding of the notebook computer structure of the present invention, please refer to fig. 4, fig. 5, fig. 6, and fig. 7 in combination, in which fig. 4 shows a second front frame schematic diagram in the notebook computer structure of fig. 2 and fig. 3, fig. 5 shows a partial schematic diagram of an open state of the notebook computer structure of fig. 2 and fig. 3, fig. 6 shows another partial schematic diagram of an open state of the notebook computer structure of fig. 2 and fig. 3, and fig. 7 shows a partial schematic diagram of a closed state of the notebook computer structure of fig. 2 and fig. 3. As shown in fig. 4, the second front frame 314 has extensions perpendicular to its body at both sides, with a groove 316 therebetween, and the shaft posts 304 of the main body 100 slide in the groove 316.
When the display screen 102 starts to rotate, as shown in fig. 5, the second front frame 314 moves towards the first front frame 312 synchronously, and the rotation axis thereof also starts to move along the perpendicular line (as shown by the arrow) to the moving direction, i.e. the relative position of the shaft column 304 in the groove 316 is moved. The flexible circuit board 110 is covered by the first front frame 312, the second front frame 314 and the rear frame 310.
Then, when the display screen 102 rotates to form an angle of about 45 degrees with the main body 102, as shown in fig. 6, the second front frame 314 still moves towards the first front frame 312, but the moving direction of the rotation axis thereof still moves along the perpendicular of the moving direction, but the direction starts to reverse (as shown by the arrow), i.e. the relative position of the axis pillar 304 in the groove 316 moves. At this time, the flexible circuit board 110 is still covered by the first front frame 312, the second front frame 314 and the rear frame 310.
Finally, when the display screen 102 is closed relative to the host body 100, the second front frame 314 is completely hidden between the first front frame 312 and the rear frame 310, and is attached to the first front frame 312. The flexible circuit board 110 is wrapped between the first front frame 312, the second front frame 314 and the rear frame 310.
The notebook computer structure uses the transparent display screen as the display device, the circuit board is arranged in the main body and is connected with the display screen through the flexible circuit board, so that the visual penetrability of the display screen is realized, and in addition, the flexible circuit board is always covered by utilizing the mechanism design of the rear frame, the first front frame and the second rear frame in the opening and closing process of the display screen and cannot be exposed outside to influence the appearance of the product.
Hereinbefore, specific embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to the drawings. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and substitutions can be made to the specific embodiments of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Such modifications and substitutions are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
