Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, fig. 1 discloses an exploded view of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 2 discloses a schematic diagram of a relationship between a camera module and a display assembly of the electronic device according to the embodiment of fig. 1 of the present application. The electronic device 100 of the embodiment of the present application may include a casing 200, a display assembly 400, and a camera module 600. Wherein the display assembly 400 is disposed on the cabinet 200. The camera module 600 is mounted on the cabinet 200, and the camera module 600 may be extended or retracted to the cabinet 200. For example, camera module 600 extends out of housing 200, and camera module 600 may transition from a first state in which it is at least partially or fully disposed within housing 200 to a second state in which it is at least partially or fully disposed outside of housing 200. For example, camera module 600 is retracted back into chassis 200, and camera module 600 may transition from a second state, in which it is at least partially or fully disposed outside chassis 200, to a first state, in which it is at least partially or fully disposed within chassis 200. In addition, when the camera module 600 is in the first state, a portion of the camera module 600 corresponds to the display module 400.
Specifically, the electronic device 100 may be an electronic device with display and camera functions, and may specifically be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a smart bracelet, a smart watch, a smart helmet, smart glasses, and the like. In the embodiment of the application, a mobile phone is taken as an example for description. It will be appreciated that the specific form of the electronic device 100 may be other as well, and is not limited herein.
Referring specifically to fig. 1, a casing 200 is a casing of a mobile phone, and can protect internal components (e.g., a motherboard, a battery, a camera module 600, etc.). The chassis 200 may specifically include a front case 202 and a rear cover 204 connected to the front case 202. The front case 202 is connected to the rear cover 204 and forms a housing 1001 for accommodating internal components of the mobile phone, such as a battery, a motherboard, a sensor, a key assembly, a camera module 600, etc.
The rear cover 204 may be rectangular or rounded rectangular, etc., which may be formed of plastic, glass, ceramic, fiber composite material, metal (e.g., stainless steel, aluminum, etc.), or other suitable material or combination of materials. In some cases, a portion of the rear cover 204 may be formed of a dielectric or other low conductivity material. In other cases, the rear cover 204 or at least some of the structures that make up the rear cover 204 may be formed from metal elements.
The front shell 202 is surrounded by four frames connected end to end, and the four frames are respectively connected with four edges of the rear cover 204. In one embodiment, the front housing 202 is integral with the rear cover 204. In an embodiment, the front case 202, for example, the frame, is provided with an opening 2021 in communication with the accommodating cavity 1001, so that the camera module 600 extends from or retracts into the opening 2021.
The display assembly 400 may be electrically connected to the camera module 600, a battery, a processor, etc. for displaying information. The display assembly 400 is coupled to the front housing 202. The display assembly 400 may include a cover plate 402 and a display screen 404, the cover plate 402 covering the display screen 404 to protect the display screen 404. The cover plate 402 may be made of a material having good light transmittance, such as glass or plastic. The display 404 may include a display area 401 and a non-display area 403. The non-display area 403 is disposed on one side of the display area 401 or surrounds the periphery of the display area 401. In one embodiment, the non-display area 403 may be omitted. In an embodiment, the non-display area 403 may be omitted, and the non-display area is disposed around the cover plate 402.
It will be appreciated that the non-display area 403 may also be used to reserve installation space for components such as headphones or sensors.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a camera module 600 is disposed on the housing 200, and the camera module 600 is installed in the accommodating cavity 1001. The camera module 600 may extend out of the accommodating cavity 1001, and the camera module 600 may be switched from a first state in which at least a part or all of the camera module is disposed in the accommodating cavity 1001 to a second state in which at least a part or all of the camera module is disposed outside the accommodating cavity 1001. The camera module 600 is retracted to the casing 200, and the camera module 600 can be switched from a second state in which at least part or all of the camera module 600 is disposed outside the accommodating chamber 1001 to a first state in which at least part or all of the camera module is disposed in the casing 200.
Specifically, the camera module 600 may extend from the chassis 200, such as the front case 202, out of the accommodating cavity 1001, so as to implement the camera function of the camera module 600. The camera module 600 may also be retracted from the chassis 200, such as the front case 202, into the accommodating cavity 1001 for accommodating.
It may be appreciated that, when the camera module 600 is in the first state, the front projection on the display assembly 400 may be at least partially or completely located in the display assembly 400, and when the camera module 600 is in the second state, the front projection on the display assembly 400 may be at least partially or completely located outside the display assembly 400, and the camera module 600 may be used as a front camera, so that the camera module 600 is set in the camera state and does not occupy the reserved installation space of the display area 401 and/or the non-display area 403, thereby enlarging the area of the display area 401, reducing the area of the non-display area 403, and improving the screen ratio of the electronic device 100. Of course, the camera module 600 may also be used as a rear camera in the second state, which is not described herein.
Components such as a receiver or a sensor that need to occupy the space position of the display area 401 may be disposed at other positions except the display area 403, for example, components such as a receiver or a sensor may be disposed on the camera module 600, so that the area of the display area 401 is further enlarged, and the area of the non-display area 403 is further reduced, thereby realizing the effect that the display area 401 approximately completely replaces the space position of the non-display area 403.
In an embodiment, the camera module 600 may be disposed at a position of the rear cover 204 corresponding to the opening 2021, so that the camera module 600 may be extended or retracted from the opening 2021. In an embodiment, the camera module 600 may be disposed at a position of the front case 202, such as the bezel, corresponding to the opening 2021, so that the camera module 600 may be extended or retracted from the opening 2021.
Of course, the camera module 600 may be disposed at any position of the front housing 202 according to specific requirements, which is not limited herein. Accordingly, the front case 202, such as a bezel, is also provided with openings 2021 corresponding to the positions of the camera module 600.
Referring to fig. 3 and fig. 4, fig. 3 discloses a schematic structural diagram of a camera module 600 in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 of the present application, and fig. 4 discloses a schematic sectional diagram of the camera module 600 in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 of the present application. Because the camera module 600 is a periscope camera module, compared with a vertical lens module, the periscope camera module can reduce the requirement on the height of the camera module by changing the light propagation path, and further can reduce the overall thickness and volume of the electronic device 100.
The camera module 600 may include a first housing 10, a second housing 20 having an adjustable relative displacement with respect to the first housing 10, a light redirector 30 mounted on the first housing 10, a lens assembly 40 mounted on the first housing 10 and/or the second housing 20, and an image sensor 50 mounted on the second housing 20. Wherein the second housing 20 is mounted on the cabinet 200, such as the rear cover 204. The first housing 10 is mounted on the second housing 20 and/or the casing 200 with an adjustable relative displacement with respect to the second housing 20, in which the first housing 10 is movable with respect to the second housing 20 to effect a volume change of the camera module 600, and to effect an extension or retraction of the first housing 10 from the aperture 2021 to the housing cavity 1001 such that the camera module 600 is in the second state or the first state. The light redirecting member 30 is extended or retracted from the opening 2021 to the accommodating chamber 1001 with the first casing 10. After entering the camera module 600, the incident light is diverted by the light diverting member 30, then transmitted through the lens assembly 40 to reach the image sensor 50, and the light is sensed by the image sensor 50. By adjusting the adjustable relative displacement of the first housing 10 and the second housing 20, adjustment of the volume size of the camera module 600 is achieved. The camera module 600 is convenient to be stored in the accommodating cavity 1001 and occupies a very small space, so that reasonable distribution of the internal space of the electronic device 100 is facilitated, and the camera module 600 can realize a camera function in the second state.

Referring to fig. 4, 8 and 9, fig. 8 discloses a schematic cross-sectional view of the connection between the light redirecting member 30, the lens assembly 40 and the first housing 10 in the embodiment of fig. 4 of the present application, and fig. 9 discloses a schematic perspective view of the connection between the light redirecting member 30, the lens assembly 40 and the first housing 10 in the embodiment of fig. 8 of the present application. The light diverting member 30 is disposed on the first housing 10 and corresponds to the light inlet 121 of the first top wall 12, and is configured to receive the incident light entering through the light inlet 121 to divert the incident light. The light redirecting member 30 may be a plane mirror (may also be referred to as a reflecting mirror), a prism (such as a reflecting prism), or the like capable of changing the propagation direction of light by reflection.
Specifically, the light redirecting member 30 may be fixed to the first housing 10, for example, the first bottom wall 11 and the first side wall 13, by adhesive bonding or the like. The light redirecting member 30 has a first reflecting surface 31 for redirecting incident light entering from the light inlet 121 and toward the lens assembly 40.
Referring to fig. 10, a schematic cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the connection of the light redirecting member 30, the lens assembly 40 and the first housing 10 in the embodiment of fig. 8 of the present application is disclosed. The light redirecting element 30 may include a base 32 and a light reflecting element 34. The base 32 is disposed in the first housing 10, and the light reflecting member 34 is fixedly mounted on the base 32 and corresponds to the light inlet 121 of the first housing 10, so as to receive the incident light entering through the light inlet 121 and turn the incident light.
In an embodiment, the base 32 may rotate relative to the first housing 10, for example, the base 32 may rotate about two axes of rotation that are perpendicular to each other, for example, the base 32 may be connected to the first housing 10 by a universal ball. It can be appreciated that, in the photographing process, the mobile phone generates a certain degree of vibration due to environmental factors, so as to drive the first housing 10 in the camera module 600 to shake, thereby generating a certain deviation of the incident position of the external light, and further bringing adverse effects to capturing and imaging of the light. The base 32 and the light reflecting member 34 are combined together to be rotated synchronously with respect to the first housing 10 to implement an optical anti-shake function by adjusting the angle of the light reflecting member 34 with respect to the lens assembly 40 or the image sensor 50.
In an embodiment, the light reflecting member 34 may be a plane mirror (may also be referred to as a reflecting mirror), a prism (such as a reflecting prism), or the like capable of changing the propagation direction of light by reflection.
Taking the light reflecting element 34 as an example of a reflecting prism, referring to fig. 11, fig. 11 discloses a schematic view of light propagation between the light reflecting element 34 and the lens assembly 40 in the embodiment of fig. 10 of the present application. The light reflecting member 34 may be a prism, or a primary reflecting prism, which may include an incident surface 342, a reflecting surface 344, and an exit surface 346. Specifically, the incident surface 342 corresponds to the light inlet 121 of the first housing 10, and is connected to the reflecting surface 344 and the emitting surface 346 in sequence. The cross-sections of the incident surface 342, the reflecting surface 344, and the exit surface 346 may be isosceles right triangles (may also be referred to as total reflection prisms). Specifically, the reflecting surface 344 is disposed at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the incident surface 342 and the emitting surface 346, that is, the included angle α between the incident surface 342 and the emitting surface 346 is 45 degrees, and it should be noted that the inclined surface of the fixed light reflecting member 34 of the base 32 is inclined to match the inclined surface of the reflecting surface 344, so that the light reflecting member 34 can be fixed to the base 32 by matching the inclined surface of the reflecting surface 344 with the inclined surface of the fixed light reflecting member 34 of the base 32. Further, the entrance face 342 and the exit face 346 are perpendicular to each other. The incident light enters through the light inlet 121 from the incident surface 342, is reflected by the reflecting surface 344, changes the propagation direction of the light, and is further emitted from the emitting surface 346.
Referring to fig. 12, fig. 12 discloses a schematic view of light propagation of the light reflecting element 34 and the lens assembly 40 in the embodiment of fig. 10 of the present application. The light reflecting member 34 may be a four-prism including the incident surface 342, the reflecting surface 344, and the emitting surface 346 of the triple prism shown in fig. 11, and further including a backlight surface 348 connected between the reflecting surface 344 and the emitting surface 346 and disposed in parallel opposite to the incident surface 342. The distance between the back surface 348 and the entrance surface 342 may range from 4.8mm to 5.0mm, such as 4.8mm, 4.85mm, 4.9mm, 4.95mm, 5.0mm, etc. The light reflecting member 34 formed by the incident surface 342 and the backlight surface 348 disposed according to the distance range has a moderate volume, and can be better combined into the camera module 600 to form a first compact and miniaturized camera module 600 and the electronic device 100, so as to meet more demands of consumers.
It should be noted that, to some extent, the four-sided prism may be formed by cutting out a part of the corner angle formed by the reflecting surface 344 and the emitting surface 346 of the triangular prism shown in fig. 11. It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 10, 11 and 12, in practical applications, due to the requirement of the incident light, the reflecting surface 344 tends to be inclined with respect to the horizontal direction, and the light reflecting member 34 is of an asymmetric structure in the reflecting direction of the light passing through the reflecting surface 344, so that the side of the reflecting surface 344 away from the light inlet 121 is smaller than the actual optical area of the side close to the light inlet 121, so that the part of the reflecting surface 344 away from the light inlet 121 can reflect less or even not reflect the light, that is, the part contributes little or no light. The light reflecting member 34 of the prism cuts off the corner of the prism away from the light inlet 121 relative to the light reflecting member 34 of the prism, so that the thickness of the light reflecting member 34 in the direction perpendicular to the incident surface 342 can be reduced while the steering effect of the light reflecting member 34 on the incident light is not affected, thereby being beneficial to the thinning and miniaturization of the camera module 600; in addition, the backlight surface 348 is arranged, so that the light reflecting member 34 can be further fixedly arranged with the base 32 through the backlight surface 348, and the fixation between the light reflecting member and the base is firmer and more stable.
It should be noted that the above description is not intended to limit the structure of the light reflecting member 34, for example, the reflecting surface 344 may be disposed at other degrees of inclination with respect to the incident surface 342, for example, 30 degrees, 60 degrees, etc.; the incident plane 342 and the exit plane 346 may be arranged vertically, such as at an angle of 80 degrees or 90 degrees; backlight 348 may not be parallel to entrance face 342, etc., so long as light diverted by light reflector 34 is received by lens assembly 40; meanwhile, the light reflecting member 34 may be other reflecting prisms such as a twice reflecting prism, a third reflecting prism, a fourth reflecting prism, etc.
Further, the reflecting prism may be made of a material having a relatively good light transmittance, such as glass or plastic, or a reflecting material, such as silver, may be coated on the surface of the reflecting surface 344 of the reflecting prism to enhance reflection of incident light. Further, when the reflective prism is made of a relatively brittle material such as glass, the reflective prism is cured to form a cured layer on the surfaces of the incident surface 342, the reflective surface 344, the exit surface 346, the backlight surface 348, and the like, thereby improving the strength of the light reflector 34. The hardening treatment may be a manner of penetrating lithium ions, or a manner of sticking films to the respective surfaces of the prism without affecting the conversion of light by the light reflecting member 34.
It should be further noted that the number of light reflecting members 34 may be one, in which case the incident light is further transmitted through the lens assembly 40 to reach the image sensor 50 after being diverted once by the light reflecting members 34. Of course, the number of the light reflecting members 34 may be plural, and in this case, the incident light may reach the image sensor 50 through the transmission of the lens assembly 40 after multiple turning of the light reflecting members 34, and the arrangement may be specifically performed according to the actual requirement, which is not limited herein.

The lens assembly 40 may include a first lens module 41, a first focusing member 42, a second focusing member 43, and a second lens module 44. The incident light enters the first housing 10 from the light inlet 121 of the first housing 10, is diverted by the light diverting member 30 and transmitted to the lens assembly 40, and is transmitted through the lens assembly 40, transmitted to the image sensor 50 and sensed by the image sensor 50. The incident light passes through the first lens module 41, the first focusing member 42, the second focusing member 43 and the second lens module 44 in sequence. Focusing and focusing of the camera module 600 are achieved by changing the relative positions of the first focusing element 42 and the second focusing element 43 between the light steering element 30 and the image sensor 50, respectively.

The camera module 600 in the present application can provide a longer optical path for zooming on the premise of unchanged stacking volume inside the electronic device 100, and can cover a focal segment which is wider and more suitable for daily photographing. The method can provide more excellent shooting and video experience for users on the premise of ensuring that the stacking requirements of the mobile phone are not greatly influenced. For example, higher zoom factors (larger focal length). For example, the cover Jiao Duanna can be used to take the clearest image at any position.
