The size of the functional area 240 of the display 200 can be set according to the size of the field angle of the camera 600, and the size of the functional area 240 of the display 200 is in a positive correlation with the field angle of the camera 600, or the size of the functional area 240 of the display 200 is in direct proportion to the field angle of the camera 600. That is, the larger the angle of view of the camera 600, the larger the size of the functional area 240 of the display screen 200, and the smaller the angle of view of the camera 600, the smaller the size of the functional area 240 of the display screen 200, the size of the functional area 240 of the display screen 200 changes in the forward direction following the change in the angle of view of the camera 600.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is an enlarged view of a portion of the device in the region a shown in fig. 2. The camera 600 may have a first field angle F1, such as 80 degrees, and the refraction of the first field angle F1 through the display screen 200 may be reduced to form a second field angle F2, such as 50.74 degrees for the second field angle F2, and a diameter H of about 3.68mm needs to be set corresponding to the functional area 240 of the display screen 200 to meet the field angle requirement of the camera 600.

To reduce the size, such as the diameter, of the functional area 240, one or more glass covers may be disposed between the camera head 600 and the display screen 200.
