Background

The development of flexible display technology provides more possibilities for the morphological design of mobile terminals. For example, folding screen electronic devices employing flexible display technology are now in widespread use.

For an entire folding screen electronic device, it may typically have two operating states—a folded state and an unfolded state. When the folding screen electronic device is changed from one state to another state, for example, from an unfolded state to a folded state, or from the folded state to the unfolded state, the camera under the display screen of the folding screen electronic device and the display screen can generate relative displacement. The display screen of the folding screen electronic device can be provided with a camera opening, and the camera opening can be used for accommodating a camera. When the camera under the display screen of the folding screen electronic equipment and the display screen are subjected to relative displacement, the camera can generate displacement relative to the camera opening, so that the camera can collide with the display screen, and the reliability of the equipment is reduced.

At present, some folding screen electronic devices increase the size of a camera opening, so that the camera has more sufficient displacement space in the folding or unfolding process of the folding screen electronic device, and the camera is prevented from colliding with a display screen. However, the method can reduce the area of the display screen where the image can be displayed, reduce the screen occupation ratio of the folding screen electronic equipment and influence the aesthetic degree of the electronic equipment. Therefore, on the premise of not increasing the hole of the camera, the collision between the camera and the display screen is avoided, so that the reliability of the equipment is improved, and the technical problem to be solved by the person skilled in the art is solved.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be clearly described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

In recent years, display technology of electronic devices has been rapidly developed, and particularly, the advent of flexible display panels, which are flexible, has enabled manufacturers to develop electronic devices having more forms. The development of flexible display technology provides the possibility to design electronic devices with more modalities. Among them, the folding screen electronic device is an emerging product form.

Currently, folding screen electronic devices may be classified into an inner folding screen electronic device and an outer folding screen electronic device according to a difference in folding direction of a display screen. Fig. 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of a folding screen electronic device. The structure a in fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the electronic device with an inner folding screen, and the structure b in fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the electronic device with an outer folding screen. As shown in the structure a of fig. 1, the body 10 of the internal folding screen electronic device can be folded to the display screen 11 side, and the display screen 11 is fastened inside the body 10 after the body 10 is folded, thereby forming an effect that the display screen 11 is hidden in the folded state of the body 10 and is presented in the unfolded state of the body 10; as shown in the structure b of fig. 1, the body 10 of the external folding screen electronic device can be folded toward the back side of the body 10, and the display screen 11 is wound around the outside of the body 10 after the body 10 is folded, thereby forming a display screen 11 wound around the body 10 in a state where the body 10 is folded, forming a winding screen, and exhibiting a normal straight screen effect in a state where the body 10 is unfolded.

Fig. 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of a display screen of a folding-screen electronic device. As shown in fig. 2, the display screen 11 of the folding-screen electronic device may include a three-layer laminated structure including a support plate 111, a display panel (panel) 112, and a cover 113 in this order from bottom to top. The support plate 111 may be located at the lowest layer of the display 11, and is generally made of a high modulus plate material such as metal or glass, for example, a plate material such as stainless steel, titanium alloy, ultra-thin glass, polyvinyl alcohol high modulus fiber PVA, or other materials with a certain rigidity. The support plate 111 serves to support and maintain the form of the display screen 11 in various open and closed states of the body. The display panel 112 may be an intermediate layer of a display screen. The display panel 112 may be attached over the support plate 111 by a pressure sensitive adhesive (pressure sensitive adhesive, PSA). The display panel 112 may be an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) display panel, or may be another flexible (i.e. bendable) display panel, such as a flexible Micro LED display panel, a Mini LED display panel, or the like, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The cover 113 may be the uppermost layer of the display screen 11. The cover plate 113 may be attached over the display panel 112 by an optical adhesive (optically clear adhesive, OCA). In electronic devices with non-folding screens, the cover plate 113 is generally made of glass, but in electronic devices with folding screens, the cover plate 113 may be made of a flexible transparent film material, such as a transparent polyimide film CPI, or other flexible material, in view of the bending capability required for the screen, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

To facilitate the user's taking of pictures, video, self-photographing or video chat, etc., the folding screen electronic device may be provided with a camera 12 or other optical components for performing camera shooting, facial recognition, focusing, etc. Fig. 3 shows a schematic view of a camera structure. As shown in fig. 3, camera 12 may include a camera view 121 and a camera mount 122. The size of the camera base 122 is relatively large, the size of the camera window 121 is relatively small, and the portion of the camera window 121 far away from the camera base 122 is narrowest and protrudes, so that a pyramid-like structure is formed.

The display screen 11 may be provided with a light transmissive area 116 and a non-light transmissive area 117. The light-transmitting region 116 is a region indicated by an arrow in fig. 3. In one implementation, the light transmissive region 116 may be formed as follows. A circular hole 114 is cut out in the support plate 111 and the display panel 112 of the display 11, and for convenience of description, the circular hole may be referred to as a camera opening 114, and the camera opening 114 may receive a camera window 121. In particular, the size of the camera aperture 114 may correspond to the size of the camera window 121. For example, the center axis of the camera aperture 114 may coincide with the center axis of the camera window 121. Thus, the camera 12 can collect external light through the cover plate 113, and the functions of photographing, shooting and the like are realized. Specifically, the light-transmitting area 116 is an area formed by punching holes in the support plate 111 and the display panel 112 at a position corresponding to the camera window 121 of the display screen 11. Other areas of the display 11 than the light-transmitting area 116 are non-light-transmitting areas 117.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a positional relationship between a camera and a display screen of an electronic device in an unfolded and folded state. The structure a in fig. 4 shows the positional relationship between the camera and the display screen in the unfolded state of the folding-screen electronic device, and the structure b in fig. 4 shows the positional relationship between the camera and the display screen in the folded state of the folding-screen electronic device.

As shown in the structure a of fig. 4, the camera 12 is fixed to the center 14 of the electronic apparatus by the camera mount 13, that is, the relative position between the camera 12 and the camera mount 13 and the center 14 is fixed. When the folding screen electronic device is in the unfolded state, the camera window 121 of the camera 12 is located directly below the light-transmitting area 116, i.e. the camera opening 114, and preferably the camera window 121 is coaxial with the camera opening 114, so that the photographing effect is optimal and the field of view is maximum.

As shown in the structure b of fig. 4, when the folding-screen electronic device is changed from the unfolded state to the folded state, or from the folded state to the unfolded state, the display screen 11 slides relative to the middle frame 14 due to deformation, resulting in a relative displacement between the camera 12 and the camera aperture 114. When the camera 12 and the camera opening 114 are relatively displaced, the camera 12 and the camera opening 114 may be non-concentric, resulting in the view angle of the camera 12 being blocked by the non-transparent area 117, and reducing the shooting performance of the camera 12. In addition, when the relative displacement occurs, the camera window 121 also collides with the support plate 111 and the display panel 112 of the display screen 11, for example, as shown by a solid circle in the structure b in fig. 4, which may cause damage to the camera 12 or the display screen 11, and reduce the reliability of the electronic device.

In order to solve the problem of collision between the camera 12 and the camera opening 114, it is conceivable to increase the size of the camera opening 114, so that each lamination of the display screen 11 fully avoids the camera 12, and further, the camera 12 is ensured to have enough moving space in the folding or unfolding process of the folding screen electronic device.

Fig. 5 shows a schematic diagram of the relationship between the size of the camera and the size of the camera opening. The structure a in fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of the dimensional relationship between the camera 12 and the camera opening 114 when the camera opening 114 is not enlarged, and the structure b in fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of the dimensional relationship between the camera 12 and the camera opening 114 when the camera opening 114 is enlarged. As shown in structure a in fig. 5, when the camera aperture 114 is not enlarged, the diameter of the camera aperture 114 is a; as shown in structure B of fig. 5, when the camera aperture 114 is enlarged, the diameter of the enlarged camera aperture 114 is a+b, that is, the diameter of the camera aperture 114 is increased by B, thereby increasing the gap between the camera 12 and the camera aperture 114. Thus, even if the display screen 11 is displaced greatly relative to the camera 12 when the electronic apparatus is folded, the camera 12 does not collide with the display screen 11. However, this method of increasing the size of the camera aperture reduces the area of the display 11 where the image can be displayed, reducing the screen ratio of the folded-screen electronic device.

In order to avoid the collision between the camera and the display screen under the condition that the size of the opening of the camera is not increased, the application provides a display screen assembly and electronic equipment.

The following is a first embodiment of the present application.

A first embodiment of the present application provides a display screen assembly. Fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of a display screen assembly according to the first embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 6, the display screen assembly includes: a flexible display screen 200, and a camera module 100 disposed at the back of the flexible display screen 200. For ease of description, the side of the flexible display screen 200 that displays images toward a user is referred to herein as the front side and the other side is referred to as the back side. The flexible display screen 200 includes a cover plate 230, a display panel 220, and a support plate 210. Typically, the support plate 210 can withstand a certain pressure, for example, experimental data show that when the support plate 210 is a steel sheet, a pressure of 0.1MPa can be sustained. Based on this, the support plate 210 is generally used to support the camera module 100.

The flexible display screen 200 is provided with a camera opening 201, and the camera opening 201 may be formed by digging holes in the display panel 220 and the support plate 210. The camera module 100 is located at the camera aperture 201 such that light entering from the camera aperture 201 directly reaches the camera module 100. In the embodiment of the present application, the support plate 210 is used to support the camera module 100, so that the camera module 100 is disposed on the back of the flexible display screen 200, that is, on the support plate 210. Thus, when the foldable electronic device carrying the camera module 100 and the flexible display screen 200 bends, the camera module 100 can move synchronously with the flexible display screen 200, so that the camera module 100 and the camera opening 201 are kept concentric all the time, and the flexible display screen 200 is prevented from shielding the view angle of the camera module 100.

Fig. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of a camera module in a display screen assembly according to a first embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 7, the camera module 100 may include a camera mount 110 and a camera window 120. The camera base 110 may be used to support the camera module 100, and the camera window 120 may be used for light entry, i.e., to collect light. In one implementation, the camera base 110 is wrapped around the exterior of the camera window 120, and the camera module 100 is fixedly connected to the support plate 210 through the camera base 110.

Specifically, the camera mount 110 protrudes around the camera window 120 by a certain height in the direction of the flexible display screen 200, forming a connection portion 115, and the connection portion 115 includes a first surface 1151 facing the flexible display screen 200. The camera view 120 includes a second surface 1201 facing the flexible display screen 200. The first surface 1151 may be higher or lower than the second surface 1201, and the first surface 1151 may be level with the second surface 1201, which is not limited in this application. In this way, the first surface 1151 of the camera module 100 facing the flexible display screen 200 may be attached to the support plate 210 by dispensing or back-gluing, so that the camera module 100 and the camera opening 201 are always kept concentric, and the flexible display screen 200 is prevented from shielding the viewing angle of the camera module 100. Meanwhile, the protruding camera base 110 can also protect the camera window 120 to a certain extent.

In one implementation, the camera base 110 and the camera window 120 may be integrally configured, so that when the electronic device carrying the camera module 100 and the flexible display screen 200 is converted between the unfolded or folded state, the camera base 110 and the camera window 120 with integrally configured move together with the flexible display screen 200, and the relative positions of the camera module 100 and the camera opening 201 remain unchanged, so that the problem that the camera module 100 is not concentric with the camera opening 201 of the flexible display screen 200 is solved. Meanwhile, the camera module 100 is an integral structure, which is convenient for assembling the camera module.

In one implementation, the camera mount 110 may be made of metal, and the camera mount 110 may be fixedly connected to the back of the flexible display screen 200 by welding or riveting. Thus, the camera base 110 and the flexible display screen 200 can be synchronously moved after being fixedly connected, so that the problems of non-concentricity and collision of the camera module 100 and the flexible display screen 200 are solved, and the firmness of connection between the camera module 100 and the flexible display screen 200 can be increased.

As can be seen from the above technical solutions, in the display screen assembly provided in the first embodiment of the present application, the camera module 100 is fixedly connected with the back portion of the flexible display screen 200, i.e. the support plate 210. Thus, when the electronic device bearing the camera module 100 and the flexible display screen 200 is bent, the camera module 100 and the flexible display screen 200 can synchronously displace, so that the camera module 100 and the flexible display screen 200 are prevented from colliding under the condition that the size of the camera opening 201 is not increased, and the reliability of the device is improved.

The first embodiment of the application also provides electronic equipment. The electronic device may be, for example, a folding screen electronic device, a scroll screen device, or any electronic device with a bendable display screen. The electronic device may include one or more display screen assemblies, wherein at least one display screen assembly is a display screen assembly provided by an embodiment of the present application.

Fig. 8 is a partial view of an electronic device provided in a first embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 8, the electronic device includes a display assembly provided in the first embodiment of the present application, and the display assembly may include a flexible display 200 and a camera module 100 disposed at a rear surface of the flexible display 200, and the flexible display 200 includes a cover plate 230, a display panel 220, and a support plate 210. The flexible display screen 200 is provided with a camera opening 201, the camera opening 201 is formed by digging holes in the display panel 220 and the support plate 210, the camera module 100 is located at the camera opening 201, and the camera module 100 is fixedly connected with the support plate 210, so that the flexible display screen 200 and the camera module 100 are integrated.

With continued reference to fig. 8, the electronic device also includes a middle box 300. The middle frame 300 is provided with a middle frame opening 301, and the camera module 100 may be disposed in the middle frame opening 301 and fixedly connected with the support plate 210 of the flexible display screen 200, so that the camera module 100 and the flexible display screen 200 are integrated. Specifically, the size of the middle frame opening 301 is larger than the size of the camera module 100, so that a gap is formed between the middle frame opening 301 and the camera module 100. The gap is larger than the relative displacement between the center 300 and the entirety of the flexible display screen 200 and the camera module 100 when the electronic apparatus is folded. Thus, when the electronic device is folded, the camera module 100 can be prevented from knocking against the middle frame 300.

With continued reference to fig. 8, in one implementation, the camera module 100 includes a camera base 110 and a camera window 120, where the camera base 110 is wrapped around the camera window 120, and the camera module 100 is fixedly connected to the support plate 210 through the camera base 110. The flexible display screen 200 is provided with a camera opening 201, and the camera module 100 is located at the camera opening 201. The middle frame 300 is provided with a middle frame opening 301 for accommodating the camera module 100, so that the camera module 100 is placed in the middle frame opening 301 and is fixedly connected with the support plate 210 of the flexible display screen 200, and the camera module 100 and the flexible display screen 200 are integrated.

In one implementation, the camera base 110 and the camera window 120 may also be integrally formed, and the camera module 100 is fixedly connected to the support plate 210 through the camera base 110. In the embodiment of the present application, only the middle frame opening 301 is required to be provided on the middle frame 300, and other structures are not required to be fixed and limited, for example, the camera module 100 does not need other support switching, and the structure is simple and the operation is simple. Compared to the current mode of increasing the camera opening, the embodiment of the application directly fixes the camera module 100 to the flexible display screen 200, so that the camera module 100 can move synchronously with the flexible display screen 200.

As can be seen from the above technical solution, in the electronic device provided in the first embodiment of the present application, the middle frame 300 is provided with the middle frame opening 301, and the camera module 100 may be disposed in the middle frame opening 301 and fixedly connected with the support plate 210 of the flexible display screen 200, so that the camera module 100 and the flexible display screen 200 are integrated. When the electronic device is folded, the camera module 100 can be prevented from knocking against the middle frame 300.

The following is a second embodiment of the present application.

A second embodiment of the present application provides a display screen assembly. Fig. 9 is a schematic structural diagram of a display screen assembly according to a second embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 9, in one implementation, the display screen assembly includes: a flexible display screen 200, and a camera module 100 disposed at the back of the flexible display screen 200. For ease of description, the side of the flexible display screen 200 that displays images toward a user is referred to herein as the front side and the other side is referred to as the back side.

The camera module 100 is located at the camera aperture 201 such that light entering from the camera aperture 201 directly reaches the camera module 100. In the embodiment of the present application, the support plate 210 is used to support the camera module 100, so that the camera module 100 is disposed on the back of the flexible display screen 200, that is, on the support plate 210. Thus, when the foldable electronic device carrying the camera module 100 and the flexible display screen 200 bends, the camera module 100 can move synchronously with the flexible display screen 200, so that the camera module 100 and the camera opening 201 are kept concentric all the time, and the flexible display screen 200 is prevented from shielding the view angle of the camera module 100.

Fig. 10 is a schematic structural diagram of a camera module in a display screen assembly according to a second embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 10, the camera module 100 includes a camera base 110, a camera window 120 and a camera bracket 130, and the camera module 100 is fixedly connected with a support plate 210 through the camera bracket 130.

In the embodiment of the present application, the camera module 100 is fixedly connected to the support plate 210 through the camera bracket 130. For example, the camera mount 130 and the support plate 210 may be connected by dispensing 701 between their contact surfaces. The camera mount 130 includes a cavity 1301 that mates with the camera module 100, and the cavity 1301 is configured to receive the camera module 100. Specifically, the camera base 110 is disposed in the cavity 1301, and the camera base 110 is fixedly connected to an inner wall of the cavity 1301 of the camera bracket 130.

In one implementation, the camera mount 110 and the inner wall of the cavity 1301 of the camera mount 130 may be glued by dispensing or back-gluing. For example, the camera support 130 and the inner wall of the cavity 1301 may be connected by dispensing 702 between their contact surfaces. In this way, the camera mount 110 and the camera bracket 130 can be seen as a whole, and the positions of the two can be synchronously moved. Alternatively, the camera bracket 130 may be made of metal, such as stainless steel, and the camera bracket 130 may be fixedly connected to the support plate 210 by welding or riveting. In this way, on the one hand, the welding or riveting connection manner may improve the connection firmness between the camera module 100 and the flexible display screen 200. On the other hand, when the device carrying the camera module 100 and the flexible display screen 200 is in an unfolded or folded state, the camera base 110, the camera window 120 and the camera support 130 move together with the flexible display screen 200, so that the camera module 100 and the camera opening 201 are always kept concentric, and the flexible display screen 200 is prevented from shielding the viewing angle of the camera module 100.

As can be seen from the above technical solutions, in the display screen assembly provided in the second embodiment of the present application, the camera module 100 is fixedly connected with the back portion of the flexible display screen 200, i.e. the support plate 210. Like this, when bearing the weight of the electronic equipment of camera module 100 and flexible display 200 and buckling, camera module 100 can remove with flexible display 200 in step to under the condition that does not increase camera trompil size, avoid camera module 100 to collide with flexible display 200, improved equipment reliability.

Fig. 11 is a partial view of an electronic device provided in a second embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 11, the electronic device includes a display assembly in the second embodiment, and the structure of the display assembly is shown in fig. 9 and 10, and will not be repeated here. The electronic device further comprises a middle frame 300, and similarly, the middle frame 300 is provided with a middle frame opening 301, and the camera module 100 is arranged in the middle frame opening 301 and is fixedly connected with the support plate 210 through the camera bracket 130. Such as by dispensing or backing the adhesive on the side of the camera support 130 facing the flexible display screen 200. The camera bracket 130 may also be made of metal, and when made of metal, may be connected to the support plate 210 by riveting or welding.

With continued reference to fig. 11, the electronic device further includes an interposer 500. In an actual use scenario, the electronic device may have a problem of poor adhesion reliability due to a small contact area between the camera module 100 and the flexible display screen 200, or a problem of film printing on the flexible display screen 200 due to the extrusion of the camera module 100 to the flexible display screen 200. In the embodiment of the present application, the film print may be understood as a striped light shadow that the display screen 200 presents in the off state, and the light shadow may be referred to as the film print. In order to solve the problem of poor adhesion reliability or film printing on the flexible display screen 200, the present application further provides an adapter plate 500 between the camera module 100 and the flexible display screen 200 of the electronic device.

In one implementation, in order to improve the reliability of the adhesion between the camera module 100 and the flexible display screen 200 and to prevent the occurrence of film marks on the flexible display screen 200 (such as striped light and shadow that the display screen 200 presents in the off-screen state), the interposer 500 may be disposed between the camera support 130 and the support plate 210, and the top and bottom surfaces of the interposer 500 may be adhered to the camera support 130 and the support plate 210, respectively, in a dispensing or back-adhesive manner (and may also be in other forms such as riveting, welding, etc.). In this way, the camera bracket 130 is connected with the support plate 210 through the adapter plate 500, increasing the contact area between the camera module 100 and the flexible display screen 200. On the one hand, the connection reliability between the two is improved. On the other hand, the compression stress between the camera module 100 and the flexible display screen 200 is reduced, and thus the film printing of the flexible display screen 200 can be reduced.

As can be seen from the above technical solution, in the electronic device provided in the second embodiment of the present application, the interposer 500 may be disposed between the camera bracket 130 and the support plate 210, and is adhered to the camera bracket 130 and the support plate 210 in a dispensing or back-adhesive manner (or may be in other forms). In this way, the reliability of adhesion between the camera module 100 and the flexible display screen 200 is improved, and film printing on the flexible display screen 200 can be prevented.

Fig. 12 is a schematic diagram of a positional relationship between a motherboard bracket and an electronic device provided in the present application. As shown in fig. 12, the electronic device further includes a motherboard bracket 400. It should be noted that, the motherboard bracket 400 may be applicable to the electronic device provided in the first embodiment, and may also be applicable to the electronic device provided in the second embodiment. For example, in fig. 12, taking the electronic device provided in the second embodiment as an example, the motherboard bracket 400 is disposed on a side of the camera module 100 facing away from the flexible display screen 200, that is, the camera module 100 is disposed between the flexible display screen 200 and the motherboard bracket 400, so that the camera module 100 is accommodated in a space formed by the flexible display screen 200, the middle frame 300 and the motherboard bracket 400.

In one implementation, there is some play between the camera module 100 and the motherboard bracket 400. As shown in the direction of the dashed arrow in fig. 12, a certain movement gap exists between the bottom of the camera module 100, i.e. the camera base 110, and the main board support 400, so that friction between the camera module 100 and the main board support 400 when moving with the flexible display screen 200 can be avoided, and smooth movement of the electronic device when bending can be ensured. It will be appreciated that a clearance gap (shown in fig. 12 by the solid arrow) is also provided between the center 300 and the camera mount 130. The gap is also greater than the relative displacement between the entirety of the flexible display 200 and the camera module 100 and the center 300 when the electronic device is folded.

The positional relationship of the motherboard bracket 400 and the electronic device is described above by taking the electronic device provided in the second embodiment as an example only. Similarly, the motherboard bracket 400 may be applied to the electronic device provided in the first embodiment, and may also be disposed on a side of the camera module 100 facing away from the flexible display screen 200, which will not be repeated herein.

Fig. 13 is a schematic diagram of a positional relationship between an elastic arm and an electronic device provided in the present application. As shown in fig. 13, the electronic device further includes a resilient arm 600. It should be noted that the elastic arm 600 may be applied to the electronic device provided in the first embodiment, and may also be applied to the electronic device provided in the second embodiment.

Fig. 13 illustrates an electronic device according to the second embodiment, where, as described above, there is a certain play between the camera module 100 and the motherboard bracket 400. Because of the gap between the two, when the electronic device is impacted or falls off, the camera module 100 in the display screen assembly is also easy to fall off. In order to solve the problem that the camera module 100 is easy to fall off, the electronic device further includes an elastic arm 600, where the elastic arm 600 is laterally disposed between the camera module 100 and the motherboard bracket 400, and has a certain elasticity in both lateral and longitudinal directions.

Specifically, the elastic arm 600 may be disposed between the camera mount 110 and the main board mount 400, and the contact surfaces of the elastic arm 600 and the camera mount 110 and the main board mount 400 may be welded or otherwise connected. In this way, the elastic arm 600 can play a role of buffering the collision of the camera module 100 and the main board holder 400. For example, when the electronic device collides or falls, the stress between the camera module 100 and the main board bracket 400 is significantly reduced due to the buffer action of the elastic arm 600, so that the damage and falling of the display screen assembly of the electronic device can be reduced.

The spring arms 600 may be compressed and moved in a vertical direction as well as in a lateral direction (as indicated by the arrows in fig. 13). The vertical direction may refer to a direction along an axis of the camera module 100, and the lateral direction may refer to a direction in which the display screen assembly translates, i.e., a direction perpendicular to the axis of the camera module 100. In this way, the elastic arm 600 can not only ensure that the display screen assembly is pressed in the axial direction of the camera module 100, but also allow the display screen assembly to perform planar movement along the bending direction. Even when the electronic device falls or receives an impact, the display screen assembly will not fall off due to the vertical extrusion force, so that the problem that the display screen assembly falls off easily is solved by providing the elastic arm 600 between the camera module 100 and the main board bracket 400.

The positional relationship of the elastic arm 600 and the electronic device is described above by taking the electronic device provided in the second embodiment as an example only. Likewise, the elastic arm 600 may be applied to the electronic device provided in the first embodiment, and may also be disposed between the camera module 100 and the motherboard bracket 400 in a lateral direction and have a certain elasticity in a longitudinal direction, which will not be repeated here.

In other embodiments, foam may be disposed between the camera module 100 and the motherboard bracket 400. Also, the foam may be compressed and moved vertically and horizontally, and as an alternative to the resilient arms 600, the foam functions as the resilient arms 600 and will not be repeated here.

According to the technical scheme, the camera module 100 is directly installed on the flexible display screen 200 in a mode that the camera and the camera support are installed on the middle frame in the prior art, so that the camera module 100 and the flexible display screen 200 are integrated into a display screen module. In the folding process of the electronic device, the camera module 100 can move synchronously with the flexible display screen 200, so that the camera module 100 is prevented from colliding with the flexible display screen 200 under the condition that the size of the camera opening 201 is not increased, and the reliability of the device is improved.

It should be noted that the display screen assembly in the embodiment of the present application may also be applied to other folded terminal products, and is also applicable to different scenes such as inward folding and outward folding, which is not limited in this application.

It is to be understood that, based on the several embodiments provided in the present application, those skilled in the art may combine, split, reorganize, etc. the embodiments of the present application to obtain other embodiments, where none of the embodiments exceed the protection scope of the present application.
