Fig. 9 and 10 are only some embodiments of the present application, and are not all embodiments of the present application.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 7, the distance B between the camera module 30 and the second display portion 12 may be increased by increasing the thickness E of the lens portion 31 of the camera module 30 in the direction perpendicular to the carrying portion 21. Optionally, the thickness E of the lens portion 31 of the camera module 30 in the direction perpendicular to the bearing portion 21 is greater than 1mm, for example, the thickness h of the lens portion 31 of the camera module 30 in the direction perpendicular to the bearing portion 21 may be 1.4mm, 1.6mm, 1.7mm, 1.8mm, and the like, so as to increase the distance between the camera module 30 and the second display portion 12. Further, the thickness E of the lens portion 31 of the camera module 30 in the direction perpendicular to the bearing portion 21 is greater than 1.4mm, so as to further increase the distance between the camera module 30 and the second display portion 12.

Please refer to fig. 1 and fig. 7, when the thickness E of the lens portion 31 of the camera module 30 in the direction perpendicular to the carrying portion 21 is increased, the distance between the image space principal point D of the camera module 30 and the plane of the carrying portion 21 of the transparent cover 20 is kept unchanged, so as to avoid the size of the intersection line between the view field of the camera module 30 and the transparent cover 20 from being increased, and further avoid the reduction of the screen occupation ratio. Specifically, under the condition that the field angle of the camera module 30 is kept unchanged, if the distance between the image-side main point of the camera module 30 and the plane where the bearing portion 21 of the transparent cover plate 20 is located is increased, the size of the intersection line between the field of view of the camera module 30 and the transparent cover plate 20 is increased, the non-display area is increased, and the screen occupation ratio is reduced.

Optionally, the distance between the camera module 30 and the second display portion 12 may also be increased by moving the camera toward a direction away from the display screen 10, but this method inevitably results in an increase in the distance between the image principal point D of the camera module 30 and the plane where the bearing portion 21 of the transparent cover plate 20 is located, and the non-display area is increased, which is not favorable for increasing the screen occupation ratio.

Optionally, referring to fig. 1, an intersection line between the view field of the camera module 30 and the transparent cover plate 20 is located on the bearing portion 21, so as to ensure a shooting effect of the camera module 30. If the minimum distance C between a point on the intersection line of the view field of the camera module 30 and the transparent cover plate 20 and the interface between the bearing part 21 and the bending part 22 is small, once the camera module 30 has an assembly deviation, a part of the intersection line of the view field of the camera module 30 and the transparent cover plate 20 may fall on the bending part 22 of the transparent cover plate 20, which affects the shooting effect of the camera module 30; if the minimum distance C from a point on the intersection line of the field of view of the camera module 30 and the transparent cover 20 to the interface between the bearing portion 21 and the bending portion 22 is too large, the appearance effect of the front surface of the electronic device 100 may be affected.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 1, a minimum distance C between a point on an intersection line of the field of view of the camera module 30 and the transparent cover plate 20 and an interface of the bearing part 21 and the bent part 22 ranges from 0 mm to 1mm, for example, the minimum distance C between a point on an intersection line of the field of view of the camera module 30 and the transparent cover plate 20 and an interface of the bearing part 21 and the bent part 22 may be 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.8mm, and the like. Further, the minimum distance C from a point on the intersection line of the view field of the camera module 30 and the transparent cover plate 20 to the interface of the bearing part 21 and the bending part 22 is between 0.5mm and 0.6mm, which does not affect the shooting effect of the camera module 30, and enables the electronic device 100 to have a good front appearance effect.

Please refer to fig. 11 and 11, which are another schematic structural diagrams of the electronic device 100 in fig. 1, of course, the electronic device 100 may further include a battery cover 40, the battery cover 40 and the display screen 10 are enclosed to form an accommodating space 50, the camera module 30 is located in the accommodating space 50, and the accommodating space 50 is further used for accommodating a main board and other components of the electronic device 100, such as a chip, a battery, a camera, and various sensors.
