When the size of the lens barrel 210 is in the above range, the terminal device 10 can be made small in size in the length and thickness directions, so that the arrangement of components inside the terminal device 10 can be made compact, which is advantageous for the terminal device 10 to be thin and light. Further, since the outer diameter of the convex ring 213 is small and the diameter of the light inlet 211 is small, the size of the passage for the light entering from the light inlet 211 can be set small.

Referring to fig. 10 and 11, the holder 600 is substantially rectangular, the holder 600 is provided with a cavity 611 for receiving the lens barrel 210, the cavity 611 penetrates the holder 600 to form a through hole 613, the convex ring 213 penetrates the through hole 613, and the light inlet 211 is exposed from the through hole 613. After the support 600 is assembled with the lens barrel 210, the support 600 may be arranged close to the display screen 100 or the middle plate 313, so that the camera module 200 has a larger bearing area, and further, the positioning of the camera module 200 at the terminal device 10 is more stable and reliable. In an embodiment, after the protruding ring 213 is inserted into the through hole 613, it may protrude from an end surface of the through hole 613 of the support 600, or may be flush with an end surface of the through hole 613 of the support 600, or may position an end surface c of the light inlet 211 in the through hole 613. It is understood that the mount 600 is not essential, and in the default embodiment of the mount 600, the end surface c of the lens barrel 210 may be stacked on one side of the display screen 100 or the middle plate 313.

Referring to fig. 9 and 10, a through hole 111 is formed in the displayable region of the display screen 100, that is, the displayable region of the display screen 100 is distributed around the through hole 111, and an end surface c where the light inlet 211 of the lens barrel 210 is located is overlapped on one side of the display screen 100 departing from the displayable region. In an embodiment, the orientation of the end surface c where the light inlet 211 is located is the same as the orientation of the displayable area of the display screen 100, and the ambient light can pass through the through hole 111 and enter the camera module 200 from the light inlet 211, that is, the camera module 200 can be used as a front camera, and a user can perform operations such as self-shooting and video call through the camera module 200. Stacking can be understood as stacking one object on another object, and other objects can be arranged between two objects stacked on each other, or no other objects are arranged between the two objects stacked on each other, and such spatial position relationship can be regarded as stacking relationship. Specifically, referring to fig. 6 and 7, the display screen 100 at the through hole 111 is stacked on the end surface c. Referring to fig. 12, 13 and 14, the light inlet 211 may be recessed into the lens barrel 210 to form a recessed area, and the lens 220 is exposed out of the recessed area. The highest point of the outer surface of the lens 220 may be higher than the end surface c, as shown in fig. 12. The highest point of the outer surface of the lens 220 may also be flush with the end surface c, as shown in fig. 13. The highest point of the outer surface of the lens 220 may also be below the end surface c, as shown in fig. 14. Of course, in conjunction with fig. 3, the terminal device 10 may include another camera 700, the lens 220 of the other camera 700 faces away from the displayable area of the display screen 100, the other camera 700 may be used as a rear camera, and the user may perform operations such as long-range shooting and video recording through the other camera 700. Of course, in other embodiments, the terminal device 10 may be a tablet computer or the like.

The position relationship between the camera module 200 and the display screen 100 can also be expressed in the following manner: referring to fig. 10, the display screen 100 has a plane area, and when the plane of the plane area of the display screen 100 is taken as a reference plane, an orthogonal projection of an end surface where the light inlet 211 of the camera module 200 is located on the reference plane overlaps with an orthogonal projection part of the display screen 100 at the through hole 111 on the reference plane. In other words, the orthographic projection of the end of the exposed lens 220 of the lens barrel 210 on the reference plane overlaps the orthographic projection of the display screen 100 on the reference plane at the through hole 111, or the orthographic projection of the end of the exposed lens 220 of the first end 200a on the reference plane overlaps the orthographic projection of the display screen 100 on the reference plane at the through hole 111, in combination with fig. 12, 13 and 14. In fig. 10, the vertical direction in the figure is taken as a reference direction in which the width d3 of the overlapping area of the display screen 100 and the lens barrel 210 is 0.1mm to 0.2 mm. In the embodiment that the lens barrel 210 is cylindrical, the end surface c where the light inlet 211 is located is annular, when the display screen 100 at the through hole 111 is stacked on the end surface c where the light inlet 211 is located, the stacked area is annular, and the width of the stacked area is the difference between the outer diameter and the inner diameter of the annular area. In another embodiment, the width d3 of the overlapping area between the display screen 100 and the lens barrel 210 is 0.1mm to 0.3 mm. In another embodiment, the width d3 of the overlapping area between the display screen 100 and the lens barrel 210 is 0.15mm to 0.4 mm. In another embodiment, the width d3 of the overlapping area between the display screen 100 and the lens barrel 210 is 0.05 mm-0.15 mm. When the overlapping area of the display screen 100 and the lens barrel 210 is within the numerical range, the aperture of the through hole 111 can be set to be smaller, so that the shielding angle of the camera module 200 by the hole wall of the through hole 111 is reduced or avoided, the area of the displayable area of the display screen 100 is increased, the screen occupation ratio of the terminal device 10 is increased, and the adverse effect of the through hole 111 on the appearance integrity of the displayable area is reduced. For example, the screen occupation ratio of the terminal device 10 having such a structure may be 85% or more. With the terminal device 10 having such a structure, when the angle of view of the camera module 200 is small, the setting of the above numerical range can avoid the display screen 100 from blocking the angle of view of the camera module 200. When the field angle of the camera module 200 is relatively large, the hole wall of the through hole 111 may block a part of the field angle, and in this case, the camera module 200 can be used normally. Since the driving mechanism of the camera module 200 does not need to be provided, the internal structure of the terminal device 10 does not become complicated by the driving mechanism.

Further, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the displayable region of the display screen 100 includes a main body 113 and an epitaxial region 115 connected to the main body 113, the epitaxial region 115 protrudes from the main body 113, and the via 111 is located in the epitaxial region 115 in whole or in part. Specifically, in one embodiment, main body 113 has a rectangular or arc-cornered shape, main body 113 includes a first side edge 1131, a second side edge 1133, a bottom edge 1135, a first top edge 1137, and a second top edge 1139, which are disposed opposite to each other, between first side edge 1131 and second side edge 1133, first top edge 1137, second top edge 1139, and extension area 115 are disposed opposite to bottom edge 1135, respectively, and first top edge 1137 connects first side edge 1131 and extension area 115, and second top edge 1139 connects extension area 115 and second side edge 1133, and extension area 115 is disposed between first top edge 1137 and second top edge 1139. In this embodiment, the maximum width of the epitaxial region 115 is less than the width of the body 113.

The protrusion of the epitaxial region 115 from the body 113 may be explained as follows: the orthographic projection of the extension area 115 on the plane area of the display screen 100 has two end points, the extension area 115 is positioned on one side of the connecting line of the two end points, and the main body 113 is positioned on the other side of the two end points. Further, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the orthographic projection of the edge of the extension region 115 on the plane area may be an arc, two end points of the arc are connected to form a chord line, the extension region 115 is located on one side of the chord line, and the main body 113 is located on the other side of the chord line. Further, in some embodiments, the tangent to the arc is taken as the auxiliary line parallel to the chord line, and the distance between the chord line and the tangent corresponds to the length of d4 in fig. 2. In one embodiment, the distance d4 between the chord line and the tangent line is 3mm to 5 mm. In other embodiments, the distance d4 between the chord line and the tangent line is 4mm to 8 mm. When the distance d4 between the chord line and the tangent line is within the above-mentioned range, the extension region 115 does not protrude too far from the main body 113, thereby reducing the adverse effect on the appearance integrity of the display screen 100, and thus advantageously maintaining the appearance integrity of the terminal device 10. It can be understood that, by the arrangement of the extension region 115, the through holes 111 of the displayable region of the display screen 100 may be completely or partially opened in the extension region 115, so that the screen occupation ratio of the terminal device 10 is improved, and adverse effects on the regular form of the displayable region due to the arrangement of the through holes 111 are avoided.

Further, in an embodiment, referring to fig. 15, the frame 311 includes a top frame 311a, a bottom frame (not shown), and a first side frame 311b and a second side frame 311c connected between the top frame 311a and the bottom frame, where the first side frame 311b and the second side frame 311c are disposed opposite to each other. The top frame 311a is formed with a first notch 311d penetrating the edge of the top frame 311a, and all or part of the epitaxial region 115 is accommodated in the first notch 311 d. This structural arrangement makes it possible for the main body 113 to occupy a larger area in the terminal device 10, i.e., to achieve a higher screen occupation ratio. Further, referring to fig. 10 and 15, the top frame 311a includes an outer side 301 and an inner side 303 that are disposed opposite to each other, the outer side 301 faces away from the display screen 110, and the first notch 311d penetrates through the outer side 301 and the inner side 303. Further, first notch 311d may form a bottom surface (not shown) on top frame 311a facing away from inner side 303, where the bottom surface intersects outer side 301, i.e., a thickness is formed between the bottom surface and inner side 303 of frame 311, which is beneficial for maintaining the structural strength of frame 311. Of course, the bottom surface is not essential, and when the first notch 311d penetrates the inner side surface 303 and the outer side surface 301, the processing of the first notch 311d is facilitated.
