Fig. 1A, 1B, and 1C schematically illustrate application scenarios of a terminal device and a method of controlling the terminal device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that fig. 1A, 1B and 1C are only examples of scenarios in which the embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to help those skilled in the art understand the technical content of the present disclosure, but do not mean that the embodiments of the present disclosure may not be used in other devices, systems, environments or scenarios.
As shown in fig. 1A, 1B and 1C, the terminal device 1 (e.g., a full-screen notebook computer) includes a main body 100, a screen 200, a temperature detection module and a temperature compensation module. In which a temperature detection module and a temperature compensation module are provided in a main body 100 (the temperature detection module and the temperature compensation module are not shown in the figure because of a shielding relationship), and a screen 200 is installed on a first surface of the main body 100. The main body 100 may include a first body 110 and a second body 120. Referring to fig. 1A, a surface formed when the first body 110 and the second body 120 are tiled is a first surface to which the screen 200 is mounted.
The temperature detection module is used for acquiring temperature. The temperature acquired by the temperature detection module may be a temperature of the screen 200, a temperature of the main body 100, a temperature of an environment in which the terminal device 1 is located, and the like, which is not particularly limited in this disclosure.
The temperature compensation module is used for performing temperature compensation on the screen 200. When the temperature acquired by the temperature detection module exceeds a temperature range, the temperature compensation module performs temperature compensation on the screen 200 to maintain the temperature of the screen 200 within the temperature range. Wherein the temperature range may be a suitable temperature range set according to a temperature allowed by the normal operation of the screen 200. The suitable temperature range may be set before shipment or may be set by a user during use, for example, a technician sets the temperature range to 5 ℃ to 30 ℃ before shipment. It should be noted that the temperature of the screen 200 may be a temperature on the screen 200 directly obtained by the temperature detection module, or may be indirectly inferred by a temperature of another location (e.g., a temperature of an environment where the terminal device 1 is located) obtained by the temperature detection module, and this disclosure is not limited in this respect.
It is understood that the application scenarios in fig. 1A to 1C are only an example, and the terminal device 1 may be any terminal device installed with a screen besides a notebook computer, for example, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a game machine, a learning machine, an electronic dictionary, a display screen, a medical device, and the like.
In some embodiments, the screen 200 may have a two-layer structure and more than two-layer structure, which can be specifically referred to fig. 2A and 2B and the related description.
Fig. 2A and 2B schematically show a structure of a screen 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 2A and 2B, the screen 200 includes a protection layer 210, a touch layer 220, a display layer 230, and adhesive layers 240 and 240'. The protection layer 210 is bonded to the touch layer 220 through the adhesive layer 240, and the touch layer 220 is bonded to the display layer 230 through the adhesive layer 240', so that the exemplary screen 200 may have a five-layer structure.
The functions of the protection layer 210, the touch layer 220, the display layer 230, and the adhesive layers 240 and 240' are different, and the materials used are different. For example, including but not limited to, the material of the protective layer 210 is a CPI material for protecting the touch layer 220 and the display layer 230; the touch layer 220 is made of a flexible substrate and is used for realizing a touch function of the terminal device 1; the display layer 230 is made of an OLED material and is used for displaying images; and the material of the adhesive layers 240 and 240' is OCA optical adhesive for adhesion between different layer structures (e.g., the adhesive protection layer 210 and the touch layer 220). The materials of the protective layer 210, the touch layer 220, the display layer 230, and the adhesive layers 240 and 240' are only an example, and may be any other materials meeting the requirement, which is not specifically limited in the present disclosure.
Most materials change volume with temperature, and the coefficients of thermal expansion of different materials are not the same. That is, the volume change of different materials is different after the temperature is changed. Therefore, when the screen 200 is continuously switched between the states shown in fig. 2A and 2B, and the temperature of the screen 200 deviates from the one temperature range greatly, the difference of the volume changes of the five-layer structure due to the different thermal expansion coefficients is large, so that the screen 200 has a risk of twisting, shifting, or delamination.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the screen 200 includes a screen bending region 250, and the screen bending region 250 is bent along with the bending of the covered main body bending portion 140 (refer to fig. 1A). At higher or lower temperatures, different layer structures of the screen 200 may experience different degrees of volume change due to different thermal expansion coefficients of the materials. If the screen 200 is repeatedly bent at this time, that is, if the screen 200 is continuously switched between the states shown in fig. 2A and 2B, irreversible damage such as breakage tends to occur in the screen bending region 250.
For example, the screen 200 is manufactured in an environment of 25 ℃ and mounted on a notebook computer. When the user uses the notebook computer in a cold environment of-25 c, the multi-layered structure of the screen 200 expands or contracts to various degrees due to a large difference between the temperature of the external environment and the temperature at the time of production. If the user bends the notebook computer at this time, the difference between the deformation generated by the multi-layer structure of the screen bending region 250 and the deformation generated in the environment of 25 ℃ is large, so that the screen bending region 250 may be irreversibly damaged by deformation, fracture, delamination, and the like, which finally causes the damage to the screen 200, and seriously affects the service life and user experience of the notebook computer.
According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device 1 obtains the temperature related to the screen 200 through the temperature detection module, and when the temperature obtained by the temperature detection module exceeds the one temperature range, performs temperature compensation on the screen 200 through the temperature compensation module, so that the temperature of the screen 200 is always maintained in the one temperature range. Therefore, the problems of distortion, failure and the like caused by different thermal expansion coefficients of materials of all layers under the condition that the temperature of the screen 200 is too high or too low are effectively avoided, the service lives of the screen 200 and the terminal device 1 are prolonged to a great extent, and the stability and the user experience of the terminal device 1 are improved.
It is understood that the structure of the screen in fig. 2A and 2B is only an example, the screen 200 may have any two-layer or more structure besides the five-layer structure, and the materials and functions of the layers may be any materials and combinations meeting the requirements except the above examples, and this disclosure is not limited thereto.
Fig. 3 schematically shows a block diagram of the terminal device 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The screen 200 is not shown in fig. 3, because the screen 200 can block the main body 100, the temperature detection module 300 and the temperature compensation module 400.
Referring to fig. 1A to 3, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the main body 100 includes N bodies and N-1 bending mechanisms 130, the N bodies are connected together by the N-1 bending mechanisms 130 in a bendable manner, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2. Each bending mechanism 130 can flexibly connect the two bodies.
In the notebook computer shown in fig. 1A, 1B and 1C, the main body 100 includes a first body 110, a second body 120 and a bending mechanism 130, i.e., an embodiment of N-2. The first body 110 and the second body 120 are connected together by the bending mechanism 130 in a bendable manner, so that the first body 110 and the second body 120 are bent around the bending mechanism 130 within a range of 0-360 degrees, for example.
The main body 100 includes at least one main body bending portion 140 (shown in phantom in fig. 3), and the main body bending portion 140 includes any one bending mechanism 130 of the N-1 bending mechanisms 130.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the screen 200 is a flexible screen and is mounted on a first surface of the main body 100, the first surface being a surface formed when the N bodies are tiled, wherein the first surface is parallel to the N-1 bending mechanisms 130 in the tiled state. The screen 200 includes at least one screen bending region 250, the screen bending region 250 covers the main body bending part 140, and the screen bending region 250 is bent along with the bending of the main body bending part 140.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the two bodies connected by each bending mechanism 130 are the first body 110 and the second body 120.
With continued reference to fig. 3, a temperature detection module 300 and a temperature compensation module 400 are disposed in the bending mechanism 130. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a temperature compensation module 400 may be disposed in the main body bending part 140 for performing temperature compensation on the screen bending region 250. The temperature detecting module 300 may be disposed in the main body bending part 140 for detecting the temperature of the screen bending region 250.
When the temperature detection module 300 detects that the temperature of the screen bending region 250 corresponding to the bending mechanism 130 exceeds the one temperature range, the temperature compensation module 400 performs temperature compensation on the screen bending region 250, so that the temperature of the screen bending region 250 is maintained within the one temperature range. Thus, irreversible losses such as breakage caused by large difference between the temperature of the screen 200 in use and the set temperature range can be avoided to a great extent, and the service life and the stability of the terminal device 1 are further improved.
Fig. 4 schematically shows a block diagram of a terminal device 1 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
Fig. 5 schematically shows a block diagram of a terminal device 1 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
It should be noted that, since the screen 200 may generate an obstruction to the main body 100, the temperature detection module 300 and the temperature compensation module 400, the screen 200 is not shown in fig. 4 and 5.
According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the temperature compensation module 400 is disposed at the main body bending portion 140, and specifically, the temperature compensation module 400 is disposed in the bending mechanism 130 (as shown in fig. 3), or the temperature compensation module 400 is disposed at an end portion of the first body 110 connected to the bending mechanism 130 (as shown in fig. 4), or the temperature compensation module 400 is disposed at an end portion of the second body 120 connected to the bending mechanism 130 (as shown in fig. 5).
According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the temperature compensation module 400 is disposed at least one of the bending mechanism 130, an end of the first body 110 connected to the bending mechanism 130, and an end of the second body 120 connected to the bending mechanism 130. Thus, the temperature compensation module 400 can be disposed at a suitable position according to the use and characteristics of the terminal device 1.
For example, when the area of the bending mechanism 130 of the terminal device 1 is small, it is difficult to provide a sufficient space for installing the temperature compensation module 400, and the space for the components in the first body 110 of the terminal device 1 is small and large, the temperature compensation module 400 may be disposed at the end of the first body 110 connected to the bending mechanism 130. The temperature compensation module 400 can also compensate the temperature of the screen bending region 250 through heat conduction.
It is understood that the temperature detecting module 300 may also be flexibly disposed in at least one of the bending mechanism 130, the end of the first body 110 connected to the bending mechanism 130, and the end of the second body 120 connected to the bending mechanism 130.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the temperature compensation module 400 includes at least one of a resistor and a semiconductor chilling plate. The resistor is used for heating the screen bending area 250, and the semiconductor refrigerating sheet is used for refrigerating the screen bending area 250.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one of the first body 110 and the second body 120 includes a power source. Wherein the temperature compensation module 400 is electrically connected to the power supply.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the temperature compensation module 400 includes at least one of a resistor and a semiconductor chilling plate. Wherein the resistor generates heat when energized and heats the screen bending region 250 through heat conduction. The semiconductor chilling plate is essentially a negative thermal resistance that absorbs heat when energized, thereby chilling the screen bending region 250.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device 1 further includes a controller. The controller is installed in the main body 100, and is electrically connected to the temperature detection module 300 and the temperature compensation module 400. The controller is configured to control the temperature compensation module 400 to heat the screen 200 when the temperature acquired by the temperature detection module 300 is lower than a first temperature threshold, or control the temperature compensation module 400 to cool the screen 200 when the temperature acquired by the temperature detection module 300 is higher than a second temperature threshold.
According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, when the temperature acquired by the temperature detection module 300 is the temperature of the screen 200, and when the temperature detection module 300 detects that the temperature of the screen 200 is lower than the first temperature threshold, the terminal device 1 controls the temperature compensation module 400 to heat the screen 200 through the controller. When the temperature detection module 300 detects that the temperature of the screen 200 is higher than the second temperature threshold, the terminal device 1 controls the temperature compensation module 400 to cool the screen 200 through the controller. Thus, the temperature of the screen 200 can be maintained within the temperature range, so that irreversible losses such as breakage of the screen 200 caused by a large difference between the temperature of the screen 200 and the set temperature range are avoided to a great extent, and the service life and the stability of the terminal device 1 are further improved.
Fig. 6 schematically shows a block diagram of a terminal device 1 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. The screen 200 is not shown in fig. 6, because the screen 200 can shield the main body 100, the heat conduction structure 410 and the electronic component 500.
As shown in fig. 6, according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the temperature compensation module 400 includes a heat conduction structure 410. The thermal conduction structure 410 is disposed in the body bending part 140 and communicates with at least one of the electronic components in the first body 110 and the electronic components in the second body 120 for transferring heat between the screen bending region 250 and at least one of the electronic components in the first body 110 and the electronic components in the second body 120.
For example, one end of the heat conduction structure 410 in fig. 6 may be disposed in the bending mechanism 130, and the other end of the heat conduction structure 410 may communicate with the electronic component 500 in the second body 120. The thermal conductive structure 410 enables heat transfer between the bending mechanism 130 and the electronic component 500. According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the heat conduction structure 410 may be any structure having a heat conduction function, for example, a structure in which the bending mechanism 130 and the electronic component 500 are connected by a heat conductive silicone.
According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the material of the heat conduction structure 410 may be any material having a heat conduction function, such as, but not limited to, a heat conduction tape, a heat conduction insulation elastic rubber, a flexible heat conduction pad, a heat conduction filler, a heat conduction insulation potting adhesive, a heat conduction silicone grease, a heat dissipation oil, a heat dissipation film, a heat dissipation paste, and the like.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the bending mechanism 130 and the electronic component 500 are connected through the thermal conduction structure 410. When there is a temperature difference between the bending mechanism 130 and the electronic component 500, heat is transferred from a high temperature to a low temperature by the heat conduction structure 410, so that the temperature difference is reduced. Meanwhile, the temperature difference between the screen area corresponding to the bending mechanism 130 and the screen area corresponding to the electronic component 500 is correspondingly reduced, so that the temperature difference of different areas in the screen 200 is reduced, and the risk of distortion, deformation and even fracture caused by large temperature difference of different areas of the screen 200 is effectively avoided.
According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, by implementing the temperature compensation of the screen bending region 250 with the heat conduction structure 410, there are the following advantageous effects. First, the heat conduction structure 410 can heat the screen bending region 250 by using heat generated by the original electronic components in the terminal device 1, or can cool the screen bending region 250 by using the original heat dissipation components, and the heat conduction structure 410 itself does not need to be powered on, so that the total power consumption of the terminal device 1 can be reduced, and the energy utilization rate is improved. Secondly, the heat conduction structure 410 can be any material or structure with heat conduction function, and the characteristic of no need of power supply can make the heat conduction structure 410 have higher flexibility.
Fig. 7 schematically shows a flowchart of a method of controlling the terminal device 1 described above according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 7, the method of controlling the terminal device 1 described above according to the embodiment of the present disclosure includes operations S110 to S120.
In operation S110, the temperature of the screen 200 is detected.
In operation S120, the temperature compensation module 400 is controlled to heat the screen 200 when the temperature of the screen 200 is lower than a first temperature threshold, or the temperature compensation module 400 is controlled to cool the screen 200 when the temperature of the screen 200 is higher than a second temperature threshold. Wherein the first temperature threshold and the second temperature threshold may be determined by presets.
According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the temperature of the detection screen 200 is lower than the first temperature threshold, the temperature compensation module 400 is controlled to heat the screen 200. When the temperature of the screen 200 is detected to be higher than the second temperature threshold, the temperature compensation module 400 is controlled to cool the screen 200. Therefore, the temperature of the screen 200 is basically maintained in the temperature range, irreversible losses such as distortion, invalidation and fracture of the screen 200 caused by large temperature change are avoided to a great extent, and the service life and the stability of the terminal device 1 are improved to a certain extent.
Fig. 8 schematically shows a flowchart of a method of controlling the above-described terminal device 1 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 8, according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the method includes operation S130 in addition to operation S110 and operation S120.
In operation S130, the temperature compensation module 400 is controlled to stop heating the screen 200 when the temperature of the screen 200 is higher than a first stop condition, or the temperature compensation module 400 is controlled to stop cooling the screen 200 when the temperature of the screen 200 is lower than a second stop condition. Wherein the first stop condition and the second stop condition may be determined by a preset.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, the first temperature threshold may be set to 5 ℃ and the second temperature threshold may be set to 30 ℃, while the first stop condition is set to 10 ℃ and the second stop condition is set to 25 ℃. Thus, when the temperature of the screen 200 is detected to be lower than 5 ℃, the temperature compensation module 400 is controlled to heat the screen 200. In the heating process, when the temperature of the screen 200 is detected to be higher than 10 ℃, the temperature compensation module 400 is controlled to stop heating the screen 200. Accordingly, when the temperature of the screen 200 is detected to be higher than 30 ℃, the temperature compensation module 400 is controlled to cool the screen 200. In the cooling process, when the temperature of the screen 200 is detected to be lower than 25 ℃, the temperature compensation module 400 is controlled to stop cooling the screen 200.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when it is detected that the temperature of the screen 200 is higher than the first stop condition, the temperature compensation module 400 is controlled to stop heating the screen 200. When it is detected that the temperature of the screen 200 is lower than the second stop condition, the control temperature compensation module 400 stops cooling the screen 200. Therefore, the operation S130 prevents the temperature compensation module 400 from continuously operating on the basis of ensuring that the temperature of the screen 200 is substantially maintained within the one temperature range, thereby effectively reducing the total power consumption of the terminal device 1.
