Embodiment
Please refer to Fig. 1 to Fig. 4, Fig. 1 is to the photographic device that Figure 4 shows that one embodiment of the invention, and it can be a kind ofly has electronic installation, the mechanism arrangement of camera function or this device itself is camera.Described device 100 comprises housing 110, camera module 120, covering 130 and driver module 140.Housing 110 penetrates and is provided with photography window 111, and camera module 120 is arranged in housing 110 and corresponds to photography window 111 and arranges, and camera module 120 includes camera lens assembly 121 and circuit board 122.Covering 130 is arranged at photography window 111 and is connected on the housing 110 of photography window 111 periphery, and covering 130 corresponds to camera module 120 to arrange, and namely camera lens assembly 121 is front side faces coverings 130.
Covering 130 has transformable light transmittance, and in the present embodiment, covering 130 comprises liquid crystal display (LCD) layer or PDLC (PDLC) layer, but is not limited thereto.Driver module 140 is electrically connected covering 130, and is arranged in housing 110, and contiguous covering 130.Driver module 140 has the first drive pattern and the second drive pattern.In detail, driver module 140 comprises drive circuit 141 and driving switch 142 further, when driver module 140 switches to the first drive pattern, namely when driving switch 142 is opened (as shown in Figures 1 and 2), drive circuit 141 meeting conducting, driver module 140 will bestow voltage/current to covering 130, liquid crystal molecule in covering 130 can change orientation, the light transmittance of covering 130 is improved, now camera module 120 can be photographed by shadow to external world, and user also can pass through covering 130 and sees camera module 120 inside housing 110; When driver module 140 switches to the second drive pattern, namely driving switch 142 is closed/is disconnected (as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4), drive circuit 141 can form open circuit, driver module 140 can not bestow voltage/current to covering 130, liquid crystal molecule in covering 130 can reply orientation originally, and the light transmittance of covering 130 is reduced relative to light transmittance during the first drive pattern.
In the present embodiment, when driver module 140 switches to the second drive pattern, covering 130 is light tight state, the shadow in device 100 external world cannot be projected to camera module 120 through covering 130, thus effectively avoid camera module 120 to be utilized the privacy invading user by intentionally personage, user also cannot see camera module 120 through covering 130, by visual, user can confirm that the current state of covering 130 is light tight.In addition, the present embodiment can also play the effect of saving the energy, because when driver module 140 is in the second drive pattern, namely under driver module 140 does not bestow the normality situation of covering 130 voltage/current, covering 130 is light tight, and only have when user have need to use camera module 120 time, then driver module 140 is switched to the first drive pattern, now just can bestow covering 130 voltage/current, make covering 130 become printing opacity.But, in other embodiments, also the orientation of liquid crystal molecule under normality can be changed, when allowing driver module be in the second drive pattern, covering is that normality is in light transmission state, and when user think be necessary to cover in camera module time, just driver module is switched to the first drive pattern, covering is become light tight.Further, in other embodiments, driver module also can comprise the drive pattern of more than three, makes covering can have the semi-transparent state of printing opacity, light tight and shading varying degree.
Please more simultaneously with reference to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, Fig. 5 and the photographic display device that Figure 6 shows that another embodiment of the present invention, it is the photographic device 100 for Fig. 1 to Fig. 4, and is applied to display device 200 further.Display device 200 comprises housing 210, camera module 220, covering 230, driver module 140(as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4) and display module 250.Housing 210 penetrates and is provided with photography window 211 and display window 212, and photography window 211 is positioned on the same face of housing 210 with display window 212, and further, photography window 211 is positioned on the frame of housing 210.Display module 250 is arranged in housing 210 and has display surface 251, and display surface 251 corresponds to display window 212 and arranges.Camera module 220 is arranged in housing 210 and corresponds to photography window 211 and arranges, and covering 230 is arranged at photography window 211 and corresponds to camera module 220 and arranges.
Covering 230 has transformable light transmittance, and it comprises liquid crystal display layer or polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer.Driver module 140(is as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 4) be electrically connected covering 230 and there is the first drive pattern and the second drive pattern.Driver module 140 comprises drive circuit 141 and driving switch 142 further, when driver module 140 switches to the first drive pattern, when namely driving switch 142 is opened, drive circuit 141 meeting conducting, driver module 140 will bestow voltage/current to covering 230, make covering 230 become light transmission state; When driver module 140 switches to the second drive pattern, namely driving switch 142 is closed/is disconnected, and drive circuit 141 forms open circuit, and driver module 140 can not bestow voltage/current to covering 230, makes the covering 230 under normality be light tight state.
In sum, a kind of photographic device proposed by the invention and display device, it is provided with the covering with transformable light transmittance and the drive unit being electrically connected described covering, and being turned on or off by the driving switch of drive unit, improve or reduce the light transmittance of covering, covering is made to change printing opacity or light tight on demand into, accordingly, when user does not want to use camera module, covering can be utilized to block camera module, and user also directly visually can learn that the current state of covering is printing opacity or light tight, thus reach the aesthetic property that has device concurrently and guarantee that the privacy of user is not encroached on, and reduce taking and the effect such as reducing costs of device inner space.In addition, because covering under normality is light tight, just apply voltage/current whenever necessary to covering, make it become printing opacity, therefore can also save energy resource consumption.
Although the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment; so it is not intended to limit the present invention, anyly has the knack of this those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; when doing a little change and retouching, therefore protection scope of the present invention is as the criterion as the claim person of defining.
