The first display screen 11 and the second display screen 12 may display images individually or together.

As shown in fig. 2, the rotation shaft 2 is disposed between the first display screen 11 and the second display screen 12, and the extension direction of the rotation shaft 2 is the same as the extension direction of the gap between the first display screen 11 and the second display screen 12. For example, in the example shown in fig. 2, the gap between the first display screen 11 and the second display screen 12 extends in the length direction of the electronic device 100, i.e., in the up-down direction as shown in fig. 2, and accordingly, the rotation axis 2 extends in the length direction of the electronic device 100, i.e., in the up-down direction as shown in fig. 2.

As shown in fig. 2, the camera 3 is provided on the rotation shaft 2 with a lens of the camera 3 facing a side of a display plane of the display screen 1, and the camera 3 is provided between the first display screen 11 and the second display screen 12. The first housing 4 surrounds a part of the rotating shaft 2 in a circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 2, and the first housing 4 is rotatably coupled to the rotating shaft 2, the first housing 4 being located on a side of the rotating shaft 2 adjacent to the first display screen 11. The second housing 5 surrounds a part of the rotating shaft 2 in a circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 2, and the second housing 5 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 2, the second housing 5 being located on a side of the rotating shaft 2 adjacent to the second display 12. In addition, the first housing 4 and the second housing 5 have a gap therebetween in the circumferential direction of the rotary shaft 2, thereby facilitating the first housing 4 and the second housing 5 to rotate along the rotary shaft 2.

Thereby, the first housing 4 and the second housing 5 can collectively cover a part of the rotary shaft 2 in the circumferential direction of the rotary shaft 2. When the camera 3 is not used, the first shell 4 and the second shell 5 can rotate towards the direction close to the camera 3, and the edge of the first shell 4 close to the camera 3 and the edge of the second shell 5 close to the camera 3 can be jointed, so that the camera 3 can be shielded together; when the camera 3 is needed to be used for photographing, the first shell 4 and the second shell 5 can be rotated towards the direction far away from the camera 3, a gap is formed between the first shell 4 and the second shell 5, and the camera 3 can receive light through the gap between the first shell 4 and the second shell 5.

According to the electronic device 100 of the embodiment of the application, the display screen 1 is set as the first display screen 11 and the second display screen 12 which are spaced apart along the length direction or the width direction of the electronic device 100, the camera 3 is arranged on the rotating shaft 2 between the first display screen 11 and the second display screen 12, the first shell 4 and the second shell 5 are arranged, the first shell 4 and the second shell 5 are rotatably connected with the rotating shaft 2 to shield or expose the camera 3, when the camera 3 is not used, the first shell 4 and the second shell 5 shield the camera 3 together, the electronic device 100 can have the effect of a full-screen, when the camera 3 is used, the first shell 4 and the second shell 5 expose the camera 3, and the photographing quality of the camera 3 can be ensured.

In some embodiments of the present application, the sum of the lengths of the gaps between the first housing 4 and the second housing 5 in the circumferential direction of the rotary shaft 2 is equal to or greater than the length of the camera 3. Specifically, in the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 2, the sum of the gap between the end of the first housing 4 close to the camera 3 and the end of the second housing 5 close to the camera 3, and the gap between the end of the first housing 4 remote from the camera 3 and the end of the second housing 5 remote from the camera 3 is equal to or greater than the length of the camera 3. From this, when first casing 4 and second casing 5 orientation were kept away from camera 3's direction and are rotated, camera 3 all exposes when can guaranteeing to avoid sheltering from partial camera 3, guarantee camera 3's shooting quality and shooting range.

Further, the sum of the lengths of the gaps between the first housing 4 and the second housing 5 in the circumferential direction of the rotary shaft 2 is equal to the length of the camera 3. Specifically, in the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 2, the sum of the gap between the end of the first housing 4 close to the camera 3 and the end of the second housing 5 close to the camera 3, and the gap between the end of the first housing 4 remote from the camera 3 and the end of the second housing 5 remote from the camera 3 is equal to the length of the camera 3. From this, when first casing 4 and second casing 5 orientation were kept away from camera 3's direction and are rotated, camera 3 all exposes when both can guaranteeing to avoid sheltering from partial camera 3, guarantee camera 3's the shooting quality and the shooting scope, again can furthest guarantee that electronic device 100 has the effect of full screen.

In some embodiments of the present application, at least one of the first housing 4 and the second housing 5 is configured as a third display screen, and a surface of the third display screen remote from the rotation axis 2 is configured as a display surface. That is, only the first casing 4 is configured as a third display screen, and a surface of the third display screen remote from the rotation shaft 2 is configured as a display surface; or only the second housing 5 is configured as a third display screen, the surface of which remote from the rotation axis 2 is configured as a display surface; or both the first housing 4 and the second housing 5 are configured as a third display screen, and a surface of the third display screen remote from the rotation shaft 2 is configured as a display surface.

Therefore, at least one of the first casing 4 and the second casing 5 can also display the picture, and when the first casing 4 and the second casing 5 shield the camera 3, the total display area of the electronic device 100 can be increased, and further the electronic device 100 has the effect of a full screen.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, an edge of an end of the first housing 4 near the camera 3 is fitted with an edge of an end of the second housing 5 near the camera 3. Therefore, when the first shell 4 and the second shell 5 shield the camera 3, no gap can be ensured between the first shell 4 and the second shell 5, and the effect of the full screen of the electronic device 100 is improved.

For example, in the example shown in fig. 3, the shape of the edge of the end of the first casing 4 close to the camera 3 and the shape of the edge of the end of the second casing 5 close to the camera 3 are both linear shapes extending in the up-down direction. Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, and the shape of the edge of the end of the first housing 4 close to the camera 3 may be a linear shape inclined to the left in the direction from the top to the bottom, and accordingly, the shape of the edge of the end of the second housing 5 close to the camera 3 may be a linear shape inclined to the left in the direction from the top to the bottom.

Or, the edge shape of the end of the first housing 4 close to the camera 3 may be a wave line type, the edge shape of the end of the second housing 5 close to the camera 3 is correspondingly a wave line type, and the peak on the edge of the end of the first housing 4 close to the camera 3 corresponds to the valley on the edge of the end of the second housing 5 close to the camera 3, and the valley on the edge of the end of the first housing 4 close to the camera 3 corresponds to the peak on the edge of the end of the second housing 5 close to the camera 3.

Of course, the shape of the edge of the end of the first housing 4 close to the camera 3 and the shape of the edge of the end of the second housing 5 close to the camera 3 in the present application are not limited thereto as long as it can be ensured that the edge of the end of the first housing 4 close to the camera 3 and the edge of the end of the second housing 5 close to the camera 3 are attached.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, at least one of an edge of the first display screen 11 near the second display screen 12 and an edge of the second display screen 12 near the first display screen 11 is parallel to the rotation axis 2. Therefore, the structure of the first display screen 11 or the second display screen 12 can be simplified, the first display screen 11 or the second display screen 12 can be conveniently processed, and the production efficiency is improved. For example, in the examples shown in fig. 3 and 4, both the edge of the first display screen 11 near the second display screen 12 and the edge of the second display screen 12 near the first display screen 11 are parallel to the rotation axis 2.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, an edge of the first display screen 11 close to the rotation axis 2 is attached to a surface of the first housing 4 far from the rotation axis 2. Therefore, a gap between the first display screen 11 and the first casing 4 can be avoided, and the effect of the full screen of the electronic device 100 is improved.

Of course, as shown in fig. 3, the edge of the second display 12 close to the rotation shaft 2 is attached to the surface of the second casing 5 far from the rotation shaft 2. Therefore, a gap between the second display screen 12 and the second casing 5 can be avoided, and the effect of the full screen of the electronic device 100 is improved.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the first display screen 11 and the second display screen 12 are spaced apart in a width direction of the electronic device 100. Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, and the first display screen 11 and the second display screen 12 may also be spaced apart along the length direction of the electronic device 100. Thereby, the diversity of the structure of the electronic device 100 can be increased.

Further, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the first display screen 11 and the second display screen 12 have the same width. This can avoid the need to manufacture screens of various sizes, can reduce the manufacturing cost of the first display screen 11 and the second display screen 12, and can improve the production efficiency.

In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the first display screen 11 and the second display screen 12 are located on the same plane. Therefore, the display effect of the common real picture of the first display screen 11 and the second display screen 12 can be increased, and the user experience is improved. Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, and the first display screen 11 and the second display screen 12 may be located on different planes.

Further, the center axis of the rotary shaft 2 is located on a side of the plane of the first display screen 11 away from the display surface of the first display screen 11. Therefore, the width of the rotating shaft 2 on the plane where the first display screen 11 and the second display screen 12 are located can be reduced, so that the distance between the first display screen 11 and the second display screen 12 is reduced, and the effect of the whole screen of the electronic device 100 is further improved. In addition, the height of the rotating shaft 2 exceeding the display screen 1 can be reduced, which is beneficial to reducing the thickness of the electronic device 100, and the distance between the display screen 1 and the cover plate can be reduced, thereby improving the clear feeling of the picture. Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, and the central axis of the rotary shaft 2 may be located on the plane of the first display screen 11.

In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 further includes a first driving mechanism and a second driving mechanism, which are respectively connected to the first housing 4 and the second housing 5 to drive the first housing 4 and the second housing 5 to rotate around the rotation axis 2.
