The frame 212 is connected to the rear cover 211 and cooperates with the rear cover 211 to form an accommodating space for accommodating the display screen 22. The front frame 213 is connected to the bezel 212 and covers the edge of the display screen 22, and the size of the bezel 212 in the direction opposite to the front frame 213 and the rear cover 211 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the display screen 22. On the basis that the front frame 213 is fixed to the display screen 22, the size of the front frame 213 covering the display screen 22 is as small as possible, so as to avoid the influence on the high screen ratio of the display module 20 due to the large shielding size of the front frame 213.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the display module 20 further includes a rotating shaft mechanism 23 for rotatably connecting with the host module 10, and the display module 20 can rotate relative to the host module 10 through the rotating shaft mechanism 23. Wherein the display screen 22 abuts against the rotation shaft mechanism 23. The rotating shaft mechanisms 23 are disposed at the middle position of the bottom of the display module 20, the number of the rotating shaft mechanisms 23 may be at least two, and the at least two rotating shaft mechanisms 23 are disposed at the bottom of the display module 20. The hinge mechanism 23 extends downward from the bottom of the display module 20. The side walls 231 and the base plate 232 may be integrally formed with the rear cover 211.

The hinge mechanism 23 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a side wall 231 connected to the rear cover 211, a base plate 232 connected to the side wall 231, a hinge cover 233 assembled to the base plate 232 and the side wall 231, and a hinge (not shown) provided at both ends of the base plate 232. The rotating shaft may be disposed on the wall shells at the two ends of the rotating shaft mechanism 23, and the rotating shaft may also be embedded in the cavity formed by the substrate 232, the side wall 231, and the rotating shaft cover 233. The rotating shaft mechanism 23 is rotatably connected with the host module 10 through rotating shafts at two ends. The substrate 232 and the sidewall 231 are bent, the sidewall 231 is located in the extending direction of the rear cover 211, the rotating shaft cover 233 is an arc surface connected to the free end of the sidewall 231 and the free end of the substrate 232, and the rotating shaft cover 233 is disposed on the arc surface to facilitate the rotation of the display module 20 relative to the host module 10.
