FIG. 1 schematically shows a block diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

As shown in fig. 1, an electronic device 10 of an embodiment of the present disclosure may include: light source 100, housing 200, and controller 300.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device 10 may be a mobile phone, a computer, a tablet computer, a smart speaker, or the like.

According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the light source 100 may be used to generate at least one type of light. In the disclosed embodiment, the light source 100 may generate various types of light. Wherein different types of light are perceived by the user as different colors of light, such that the color of the housing 100 as seen by the user is variable. The light source 100 of the embodiment of the present disclosure may include a plurality.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the housing 200 includes, for example, an adjusting structure 210, and the adjusting structure 210 is used to adjust the propagation path of light, so that the light after adjusting the propagation path passes through the inside of the housing 200. For example, after the light source 100 generates light, the light may reach the adjustment structure 210, and the light reflected via the adjustment structure 210 may pass through the inside of the housing 200, i.e., the light may reach various positions of the housing 200 after being adjusted via the adjustment structure 210.

In one embodiment, the housing 200 may include other parts besides the adjusting structure 210, and the adjusting structure 210 and the other parts may be integrally formed to form the housing 200.

In another embodiment, the adjustment structure 210 and the other parts may be separate components, and the housing 200 is formed by assembling the adjustment structure 210 and the other parts.

Among other things, the case 200 may be made of a material having a light guide property so that light can be propagated in the case 200.

The electronic device 10 of the disclosed embodiment may further include a controller 300, the controller 300 being electrically connected to the light source 100, the controller 300 may be used to control the type of light generated by the light source 100.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, light having a color is reflected into human eyes by the case 200 so that the case 200 seen by the human eyes has the color.

In one embodiment, the plurality of types of light generated by the light source 100 may be a plurality of colors of light, while the material of the housing 200 may reflect all colors of light from the light source 100 into the human eye. I.e. one type of light is one color of light. For example, the light source 100 may generate red light and yellow light, the red light being one type and the yellow light being the other type. When the light source 100 generates red light, the user perceives the housing 100 as red. When the light source 100 generates yellow light, the user perceives the housing 100 as yellow.

In another embodiment, each type of light generated by the light source 100 may include at least one color, where the material of the housing 200 may reflect a portion of the color of light from the light source 100 into the human eye, and the material of the housing 200 may absorb another portion of the color of light. For example, when the material of the housing 200 can absorb green light, the green light cannot be reflected into the human eye, so that the human eye cannot see the green light. In this case, one type of light generated by the light source 100 may include red light and green light, when the user perceives the housing 100 as red. Another type of light generated by the light source 100 may include yellow light and green light, when the user perceives the housing 100 as yellow.

It can be seen that the disclosed embodiments do not limit how many colors of light one type of light includes, as long as the light source generates no types of light such that the user perceives the housing as being a different color.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the controller may control the color of the light generated by the light source 100 according to the requirement of the user, so that the housing 100 of the electronic device 10 displays different colors, thereby improving the experience of the user using the electronic device 10.

Fig. 2 schematically illustrates a schematic diagram of a propagation path of light according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

As shown in fig. 2, the housing 200 may include a body structure 220 in addition to the adjustment structure 210.

The adjusting structure 210 and the body structure 220 form a predetermined included angle d therebetween. In one example, the preset included angle d may be 45 °.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the light from the light source 100 reaches the body structure 220 after being reflected by the adjusting structure 210. In one case, the light may travel a path such as that shown by the dashed arrows in fig. 2, and may fill various locations of the housing 200 under reflection from the adjustment structure 210.

Fig. 3 schematically shows a block diagram of an electronic device according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 3, the electronic device 10 may further include a light reflecting diffuser film 400.

The light reflecting and diffusing film 400 can be disposed on a surface of the housing 200, for example, on an inner surface of the housing 200. The light reflecting and diffusing film 400 can be used to reflect and/or scatter light passing through the interior of the housing 200.

In one embodiment, the light from the light source 100 is not all uniform or parallel light. Wherein some of the non-parallel light is reflected by the alignment structure 210 and then incident into the light reflective diffuser film 400, and the light reflective diffuser film 400 reflects and/or scatters the received light such that the light fills the interior of the integral housing 200. Wherein, the light from the light source 100 is reflected by the adjusting structure 210, and then enters the light reflecting and diffusing film 400, and the light reflecting and diffusing film 400 reflects and/or diffuses the received light, wherein the propagation path of the light is represented by the dashed arrow in fig. 3.

In one embodiment, the light reflecting diffuser film 400 can be integrally formed with the housing 200. In another embodiment, the light reflecting diffuser film 400 can be a separate component that is attached to the inner surface of the housing 200 or the light reflecting diffuser film 400 can be formed by spraying on the inner surface of the housing 200.

In one example, when the light source 100 is turned off, the color of the housing 200 is the color of the material of the housing 200 itself and the color of the light reflecting diffuser film 400.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device 10 may further include a lens structure 500. The light from the light source 100 reaches the adjustment structure 210 after being refracted by the lens structure 500, and is reflected by the adjustment structure 210.

In one embodiment, the lens structure 500 may be a convex lens, which may include a plane and a convex surface, and the convex surface may be disposed in a direction toward the adjustment structure 210. In one case, the light generated by the light source 100 is more concentrated and the light from the light source 100 can be refracted by the lens structure 500 to form more uniform light. The light refracted through the lens structure 500 entering the housing 200 may make the light travel a wide range of paths in the housing 200.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a lens structure 500 is disposed between the light source 100 and the housing 200, the lens structure 500 having, for example, a fresnel texture. In one embodiment, the lens structure 500 may be a fresnel lens. When the Fresnel lens refracts light, the refraction effect of a common convex lens can be achieved, and the attenuation of the light can be less by refracting the light through the Fresnel lens.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device 10 may further include an environmental sensor 600. The environmental sensor 600 may be electrically connected to the controller 300.

Among other things, the environmental sensor 600 may be used to sense environmental information and send the environmental information to the controller 300 so that the controller 300 controls the type of light generated by the light source 100 based on the environmental information.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the environment information may include at least one of light information and sound information.

For example, the light information may be a light color of the external environment, and when the environment sensor 600 senses the light color of the external environment, the light information may be transmitted to the controller 300. The controller 300 controls the type of light generated by the light source 100 according to the external light color, so that the user perceives that the color of the housing 200 is consistent with the external light color, thereby realizing that the color of the housing 200 of the electronic device 10 changes along with the change of the environment, and improving the diversity and the flexible variability of the color of the housing 200 of the electronic device 10.

For example, the sound information may be the sound of the user, and when the user desires the housing 200 to display a specific color, the user may indicate the desired color. For example, the sound information may be a sound "please show blue" uttered by the user. When the environmental sensor 600 senses the sound information, the sound information may be transmitted to the controller 300. The controller 300 controls the type of light generated by the light source 100 according to the sound information such that the user perceives the color of the housing 200 as a desired color, for example, such that the user perceives the color of the housing 200 as blue. Therefore, the color of the shell 200 can be adjusted in real time according to the requirements of the user, and the use experience of the user is improved.

As shown in fig. 3, the housing 200 may be configured to be bent to form an accommodating space, and the accommodating space includes an opening, and the light source 100 is disposed at the opening. In addition, the adjustment structure 210 is formed at the bent portion of the housing 200.

In one embodiment, the controller 300 may also be disposed at the opening, and the environment sensor 600 may be disposed inside the accommodating space.
