Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device 100 according to an exemplary embodiment, and fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view a-a according to fig. 1. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the electronic device 100 may include a display panel 1, a camera module 2, and an earpiece module 3. The display panel 1 may be used to form a display area of the electronic device 100, and includes a first opening 11, where the first opening 11 may be used for the camera module 2 to obtain light, and at the same time, the audio sound coming out of the earpiece module 3 may be transmitted through the first opening 11.

Specifically, the lens of the camera module 2 may be disposed corresponding to the first opening 11, so that light outside the electronic device 100 may be emitted into the camera module 2 through the first opening 11 to obtain image information. The earphone module 3 may include a sound outlet 31, and audio sound generated by vibration of the diaphragm inside the earphone module 3 may be transmitted out of the earphone module 3 through the sound outlet 31. Further, the sound outlet 31 communicates with the first opening 11, so that the audio sound coming out from the sound outlet 31 can further come out through the first opening 11, so that the user can hear music or video sound or voice information or the like through the first opening 11.

Based on this, since the area where the camera module 2 acquires the external light and the area where the earpiece module 3 transmits the sound are summed to form the first opening 11, it is possible to avoid opening the display panel 1 for the camera module 2 and the earpiece module 3, respectively, reduce the occupation of the display area on the display panel 1, and facilitate the improvement of the screen occupation ratio of the electronic device 100; in addition, the number of openings on the display panel 1 is reduced, which is beneficial to improving the strength of the display panel 1 and simplifying the processing flow.

Further, when the camera assembly 2 is tightly fitted with the display panel 1, the sound emitted from the earphone module 3 cannot be emitted to the electronic device 100. Therefore, in the present disclosure, a preset interval L is provided between the two surfaces of the camera module 2 and the display panel 1, which are oppositely disposed. The preset interval L may be kept within a suitable range to ensure that sound can be transmitted out of the electronic apparatus 100 through the first opening 11 while ensuring the amount of light entering the camera module 2. For example, the preset interval L may be greater than 0 and less than 20mm, for example, one or more intervals of 5mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm and 18mm, and the present disclosure is not limited.

In this embodiment, the electronic device 100 may further include a frame 4, where the frame 4 may be used to fix the display panel 1, the camera module 2, and the earpiece module 3, so as to prevent the display panel 1, the camera module 2, and the earpiece module 3 from shaking or shifting inside the electronic device 100. Further, the frame 4 may further include a hollow channel 41, and one end of the hollow channel 41 is communicated with the first opening 11, and the other end is communicated with the sound outlet 31 of the earphone module 3. Therefore, the sound generated when the earphone module 2 vibrates can sequentially pass through the sound outlet 31, the hollow channel 41 and the first opening 11 to be transmitted out of the electronic device 100, and further can be transmitted to the ear of the user through air vibration.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the frame body 4 may include a bezel 42 and a bracket 43. Wherein, frame 42 and camera module 2 are adjacent to be set up to first opening 11 that corresponds with camera module 2 also is adjacent with frame 42, and this first opening 11 can be close to display panel 1's edge setting as far as promptly, can guarantee the integrality of display panel 1 middle part regional demonstration, promotes user's visual effect. The bracket 43 is formed by extending from the edge of the frame 42 to the inside of the electronic device 100, and may include a second opening 431 and a third opening 432, where the second opening 431 may be disposed corresponding to the first opening 11, the third opening 432 may be disposed corresponding to the sound outlet 31, and the hollow channel 41 is located inside the bracket 43 and communicates with the second opening 431 and the third opening 432 to implement a sound transmission function of the hollow channel 41.

The hollow channel 41 may have any suitable shape as long as it can communicate the second opening 431 and the third opening 432 to realize the sound transmission function, and the shape and structure are not limited in the present disclosure. For example, as shown in fig. 2, the hollow channel 41 may be turned in a substantially vertical direction and may be conducted from the second opening 431 to the third opening 432 after two turns, or a plurality of turns may be adopted, and the disclosure is not limited thereto. For another example, in some other embodiments, the inner wall of the hollow channel 41 may be disposed in an arc shape, and the second opening 431 and the third opening 432 are connected, so as to reduce the number of turns of the sound in the hollow channel 41, reduce the sound consumption, and improve the sound quality.

In the above-described respective embodiments, in addition to the reduction in sound loss by optimizing the shape of the hollow passage 41, sound loss can be reduced by blocking the gap around the first opening 11. For example, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the bracket 43 may include a first side 433 and a second side 434, the first side 433 and the second side 434 together enclose the hollow channel 41, and the second side 434 is disposed closer to the display panel 1 than the first side 433. Wherein, an end of the second side 434 disposed near the first opening 11 contacts the display panel 1, so as to prevent the sound conducted from the hollow channel 41 from propagating through the space between the bracket 43 and the display panel 1, thereby achieving the guiding and reducing the sound consumption.

Based on the technical solution of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the electronic device 100 may further include a light-transmitting film layer 5, and an outer edge of the light-transmitting film layer 5 is matched with an inner edge of the first opening 11, so that the light-transmitting film layer 5 can be embedded in the first opening 11, and the aesthetic property of the electronic device 100 is improved. The light-transmitting film layer 5 may include at least one hole, as shown in fig. 5, the light-transmitting film layer 5 may include a first hole 51 and a second hole 52, although only the first hole 51 and the second hole 52 are illustrated here as an example. The transparent film layer 5 may further include three or more holes, which are not described in detail herein.

When the light-transmitting film layer 5 is embedded in the first opening 11, sound from the earphone module 3 can be transmitted through the first hole 51 and the second hole 52; simultaneously, can propagate light through whole printing opacity rete 5 to can ensure earphone module 3 and can normally use when guaranteeing camera module 2 function of shooing.

In this embodiment, the holes on the transparent film layer 5 are uniformly arranged to prevent the light in the local area from being too strong and the light in other areas without holes from being weak, which may affect the image formation. Moreover, the ratio of the area of the light-transmitting film layer 5 to the area of the hole formed in the light-transmitting film layer 5 is within a preset range, so that the quantity of light penetrating into the camera module 2 through the light-transmitting film layer 5 can be adjusted, the brightness of the light head at each position of the whole light-transmitting area can be made to be equal as much as possible, and the imaging quality is improved.

Or, in some other embodiments, since the light transmittance of the area corresponding to the hole on the light-transmitting film layer 5 is substantially 100%, and the light transmittance of the area without the hole is less than 100%, in order to make the light transmittance corresponding to each position on the light-transmitting film layer 5 as uniform as possible, the light transmittance of the area without the hole may be increased by an algorithm, or the light may be refracted and reflected for multiple times when passing through the area without the hole on the light-transmitting film layer 5, so as to increase the light input amount.

In the above embodiments, the light-transmitting film layer 5 may be made of a hydrophobic material, and based on the characteristics of the hydrophobic material, when an external liquid is sputtered on the light-transmitting film layer 5, the external liquid may be gathered into water drops and may not drop into the electronic device 100 through the first hole 51 and the second hole 52, so as to enhance the waterproof level of the electronic device 100. Specifically, the light-transmitting film layer 5 may be made of TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer) material, and the TPU material has good air permeability, water resistance and wear resistance, which is beneficial to enhancing the water resistance of the electronic device 100 and ensures that air flow can penetrate through the light-transmitting film layer 5.
