Fig. 1 schematically shows an application scenario of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that fig. 1 is only an example of a scenario 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 does not mean that the embodiments of the present disclosure may not be applied to other devices, systems, environments or scenarios.

Fig. 2 schematically shows a structural schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 2 shows a side view of the electronic device.

As shown in fig. 2, the electronic device may include a first plate-shaped body 210, a second plate-shaped body 220, and a hinge 230.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a first surface of the first plate-shaped body 210 is provided with a first display panel 211, and a second surface of the second plate-shaped body 220 is provided with a second display panel 221. In a case where the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 form a straight angle, the first display panel 211 and the second display panel 221 satisfy a coplanar condition and face to the same side. In a state where the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 are closed, the first display panel 211 is opposite to the second display panel 221.

The first plate-like body 210 has a first side, which may refer to an edge of a side of the first plate-like body 210 close to the second plate-like body 220, for example, may refer to a right side of the first plate-like body 210 shown in fig. 2.

The second plate-like body 220 has a second side edge, which may refer to an edge of the second plate-like body 220 on a side close to the first plate-like body 210, for example, may refer to a left side edge of the second plate-like body 220 shown in fig. 2.

The rotating shaft 230 is connected with the first plate-shaped body 210 and the second plate-shaped body 220, the rotating shaft 230 includes a first connecting member 232 and a second connecting member 233, the shaft body 231 is connected with the shaft body, the first connecting member 232 is used for being connected with the first plate-shaped body 210, and the second connecting member 233 is used for being connected with the second plate-shaped body. The shaft 230 may be any type of shaft.

The first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 are rotatable about the shaft body 231 of the rotation shaft, and the first plate-like body 210 may realize 360 ° rotation with respect to the second plate-like body 220, for example.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one of the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 is able to translate with respect to the rotation axis 230 in the respective plane, so as to vary the distance between the first side of the first plate-like body 210 and the second side of the second plate-like body 220.

The first plate-like body 210 is slidably connected with the first connector 232, so that the first plate-like body 210 can slide on the plane of the first plate-like body 210 relative to the first connector 232; and/or the second plate-like body 220 is slidably connected to the second connector 233, so that the second plate-like body 220 can slide on the plane of the second plate-like body 220 relative to the second connector 233.

Fig. 3A schematically shows a schematic view of the first plate-like body before and after sliding according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

As shown in fig. 3A, for example, the first plate-like body 210 may be slidably connected with the first connector 232, and the second plate-like body 220 may be fixedly connected with the second connector 233, in which case only the first plate-like body 210 can move relative to the rotation shaft. When the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 are unfolded to form a straight angle, the first plate-like body 210 can move toward the second plate-like body 220, so that the two opposite side edges of the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 are approximately attached together, and the distance between the two display panels is greatly reduced.

Fig. 3B schematically shows a schematic view of the second plate-like body before and after sliding according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

As shown in fig. 3B, for example, the first plate-like body 210 may be fixedly connected with the first connector 232, and the second plate-like body 220 may be slidably connected with the second connector 233, in which case only the second plate-like body 220 can move relative to the rotation shaft. When the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 are unfolded to form a straight angle, the second plate-like body 220 can move in a direction approaching the first plate-like body 210, so that two opposite side edges of the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 are approximately attached together, and the distance between the two display panels is greatly reduced.

Fig. 3C schematically shows a schematic view of the first and second plate-like bodies before and after sliding according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

As shown in fig. 3C, for example, the first plate-like body 210 may be slidably connected with the first connector 232, and the second plate-like body 220 may be slidably connected with the second connector 233, in which case, both the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 can move relative to the rotating shaft. In the case that the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 are unfolded to form a straight angle, the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 can approach each other, so that two opposite side edges of the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 are approximately attached together, and the distance between the two display panels is greatly reduced. In this way, the shaft can be accommodated in both bodies, avoiding excessive occupation of the internal space of a single body.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first plate-like body 210 and/or the second plate-like body 220 can slide relative to each other not only when the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 are unfolded at a straight angle, but also when the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 have a certain included angle, the first plate-like body 210 and/or the second plate-like body 220 can move a distance relative to the rotation axis.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, at least one of the first plate-shaped body 210 and the second plate-shaped body 220 can translate on the plane where the first plate-shaped body 210 and the second plate-shaped body 220 are located relative to the rotating shaft, so that the distance between two opposite side edges of the first plate-shaped body 210 and the second plate-shaped body 220 can be changed, the first plate-shaped body 210 and/or the second plate-shaped body 220 can be moved as required, the distance between two display panels can be reduced when the two bodies are flat, the screen crossing operation is facilitated, and the attractiveness and the user experience are improved.

Referring back to fig. 3A, according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, in a case where the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 form a straight angle, the first plate-like body 210 can move between a first position and a second position with respect to the rotation shaft 230. For example, the upper diagram in fig. 3A shows the case where the first plate-like body 210 is located at the first position, and the lower diagram in fig. 3A shows the case where the first plate-like body 210 is located at the second position.

When the first plate-like body 210 is located at the first position, the shaft body 231 of the rotating shaft is located between the first side of the first plate-like body 210 and the second side of the second plate-like body 220, and the first plate-like body 210 can rotate relative to the second plate-like body 220 through the rotating shaft 230.

When the first plate-like body 210 is at the second position, the shaft body 231 of the rotating shaft is covered in the first plate-like body 210, and the first plate-like body 210 cannot rotate relative to the second plate-like body 220 by the rotating shaft.

Therefore, when the dual screen is required to be used, the first plate-like body 210 can be moved closer to the second plate-like body 220, and the shaft body 231 of the rotating shaft can be accommodated in the first plate-like body 210, in which case the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 can be locked at a flat angle, and the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 can be prevented from rotating relatively. When the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 need to be relatively rotated, the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 may be separated by a certain distance to expose the shaft body 231 of the rotating shaft, and then the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 may be relatively rotated.

Referring back to fig. 3C, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in a case where the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 form a straight angle, the first plate-like body 210 is movable between the first position and the second position with respect to the rotation shaft, and the second plate-like body 220 is movable between the third position and the fourth position with respect to the rotation shaft. For example, the upper diagram in fig. 3C shows the case where the first plate-like body 210 is located in the first position and the second plate-like body 220 is located in the third position, and the lower diagram in fig. 3C shows the case where the first plate-like body 210 is located in the second position and the second plate-like body 220 is located in the fourth position.

In a case where the first plate-like body 210 is located at the first position and the second plate-like body 220 is located at the third position, the shaft body 231 of the rotating shaft is located between the first side of the first plate-like body 210 and the second side of the second plate-like body 220, and the first plate-like body 210 can rotate relative to the second plate-like body 220 by the rotating shaft.

When the first plate-like body 210 is located at the second position and the second plate-like body 220 is located at the fourth position, the shaft body 231 of the rotating shaft is covered in the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220, and the first plate-like body 210 cannot rotate relative to the second plate-like body 220 by the rotating shaft.

Therefore, when the dual screen is required to be used, the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 may be brought close to each other, and the shaft body 231 of the rotating shaft is received in the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220, in which case the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 may be locked at a flat angle, and the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 are prevented from rotating relatively. When the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 need to be relatively rotated, the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 may be separated by a certain distance to expose the shaft body 231 of the rotating shaft, and then the first plate-like body 210 and the second plate-like body 220 may be relatively rotated.

Fig. 4 schematically shows a schematic view of a first connection piece of a rotating shaft according to an embodiment of the present disclosure being connected with a first plate-like body.

As shown in fig. 3C and 4, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a first connection block 212 may be disposed on the first plate-like body 210 for connecting the first connection member 232.

The first connecting member 232 is provided with a first sliding rail 2321, and the first plate-shaped body 210 is provided with a first sliding block (not shown) matched with the first sliding rail, for example, the first sliding block may be provided on the first connecting block 212. The first slider can be clamped in the first sliding rail 2321, so that the first connecting member 232 and the first plate-shaped body 210 can move relatively but cannot be disengaged from each other.

The first slider can slide along the first sliding rail 2321 to drive the first connecting block 212 to slide relative to the first connecting member 232, so as to drive the first plate-shaped body 210 to slide relative to the first connecting member 232.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, a first elastic member 2322 is disposed between the first connecting member 232 and the first plate-shaped body 210. With the first plate-like body 210 in the first position, the first elastic member 2322 is in an initial state. With the first plate-like body 210 in the second position, the first elastic member 2322 is in a stretched state.

For example, when the first plate-like body 210 is located at the position shown in the upper diagram of fig. 3C, the first elastic member 2322 is in an initial state. When the first plate-like body 210 slides to the right from the position shown in the upper diagram of fig. 3C, the first connecting block 212 slides to the right relative to the first connecting member 232, and the first elastic member 2322 is continuously stretched. The first elastic member 2322 provides damping during the sliding process of the first plate-like body 210, so as to improve the hand feeling during the sliding process.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first connector 232 and the first plate-like body 210 are provided with a locking structure. The locking structure is used to lock the first plate-like body 210 in the first position when the first plate-like body 210 is slid to the first position, and to lock the first plate-like body 210 in the second position when the first plate-like body 210 is slid to the second position.

For example, the first connecting member 232 is provided with two slots respectively corresponding to the first position and the second position, and the first connecting block 212 of the first plate-shaped body 210 may be provided with a locking block matching with the slots. When the first plate-shaped body 210 slides to the first position, the latch on the first connecting block 212 can be latched in the latch slot of the first connecting member 232, so as to lock the first plate-shaped body 210 at the first position. When the first plate-shaped body 210 slides to the second position, the latch on the first connecting block 212 can be latched in the other latch slot of the first connecting member 232, so as to lock the first plate-shaped body 210 at the second position. Based on this structure, the first plate-like body 210 can be prevented from sliding freely.

Similarly, the second connecting member may be provided with a second sliding rail, and the second plate-shaped body 220 may be provided with a second sliding block matched with the second sliding rail, where the second sliding block can slide along the second sliding rail to drive the second plate-shaped body 220 to slide relative to the second connecting member.

A second elastic member may be disposed between the second connector and the second plate-shaped body 220. With the second plate-like body 220 in the third position, the second elastic member is in an initial state. With the second plate-like body 220 in the fourth position, the second elastic member is in a stretched state.

The second connector and the second plate-like body 220 are provided with a second locking structure. The second locking structure is used to lock the second plate-like body 220 in the third position when the second plate-like body 220 is slid to the third position, and to lock the second plate-like body 220 in the fourth position when the second plate-like body 220 is slid to the fourth position.

Fig. 5A schematically illustrates a schematic diagram of a first display panel and a second display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 5A, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first display panel 211 has a first display region 2111 and first and

second edge regions

2112 and 2113 respectively located at both sides of the first display region 2111, the first edge region 2112 having a larger width than the second edge region 2113, and the second edge region 2113 located at a side close to the second plate-like body. The first display area 2111 is a touch-enabled area, and the first edge area 2112 and the second edge area 2113 are a non-display area and a non-touch area.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second display panel 221 has a second display area 2211 and third and

fourth edge areas

2212 and 2213 respectively located at both sides of the second display area 2211, the third edge area 2212 has a greater width than the fourth edge area 2213, and the fourth edge area 2213 is located at a side close to the first plate-shaped body. The second display area 2211 is a touch-enabled area, and the third edge area 2212 and the fourth edge area 2213 are a non-display area and a non-touch-enabled area.

The display panel needs to have a space for disposing components such as processing elements, which are generally disposed on the side of the display panel, and thus the width of the edge region of at least one side of the display panel is large, for example, the width of the first edge region 2112 of the first display panel 211 and the third edge region 2212 of the second display panel 221 is large.

In the related art, the edge area with the larger width of the display panel is usually disposed on the side where the two bodies are close to each other, so that the distance between the display areas of the two display panels is increased for the dual-screen notebook computer, which is not beneficial to the operation of crossing the screen. In order to solve this problem, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the edge area of the narrower side of the first display panel 211 and the second display panel 221 is disposed on the side where the two bodies are close to each other, which is equivalent to the first display panel 211 and the second display panel 221 are disposed by rotating 360 ° on the basis of the original disposing manner.
