Referring to fig. 1 to 5, an electronic device 100 is provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the electronic device 100 includes a housing assembly 10, a flexible display 20, a photoelectric conversion element 30, and a battery 40, the housing assembly 10 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12 slidably connected to each other, the first housing 11 includes a first transparent cover 111, and the second housing 12 includes a second transparent cover 121. The flexible display 20 includes a flat portion 21 exposed from the housing assembly 10 and an extension portion 22 connected to the flat portion 21, the flat portion 21 is fixedly connected to the first housing 11, the extension portion 22 can be hidden in the housing assembly 10, and the second housing 12 can slide relative to the first housing 11 to at least partially extend the extension portion 22 out of the housing assembly 10 or retract the extension portion 22 into the housing assembly 10. The photoelectric conversion element 30 is disposed inside the housing assembly 10. The photoelectric conversion element 30 is configured to absorb light transmitted through the first light-transmissive cover plate 111 and/or the second light-transmissive cover plate 121 and convert the light into electric energy to power the electronic device 100.

In the electronic device 100 of the embodiment of the application, the second shell 12 of the housing assembly 10 and the second shell 12 of the first shell 11 are capable of sliding relative to the first shell 11 to at least partially extend the extension portion 22 out of the housing assembly 10 or retract the extension portion into the housing assembly 10, so as to achieve adjustment of the display area of the electronic device 100. Meanwhile, the photoelectric conversion element 30 disposed in the housing assembly 10 may absorb light passing through the first transparent cover 111 and/or the second transparent cover 121 and convert the light into electric energy to directly power the electronic device 100, thereby improving the endurance of the electronic device 100.

It is understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the photoelectric conversion element 30 absorbs the light and converts the light into the electrical energy to power the electronic device 100, where the electrical energy converted by the photoelectric conversion element 30 directly powers electronic elements of the electronic device 100, such as the flexible display 20, or indirectly powers the electronic device. For example, in one embodiment, the electronic device 100 further includes a battery 40, the battery 40 is electrically connected to the photoelectric conversion element 30, the photoelectric conversion element 30 is configured to absorb light transmitted through the first light-transmissive cover plate 111 and/or the second light-transmissive cover plate 121 and convert the light into electric energy and store the electric energy in the battery 40, and the battery 40 is used for supplying power to the electronic device 100. For another example, in another embodiment, the photoelectric conversion element 30 is configured to absorb the light transmitted through the first transparent cover 111 and/or the second transparent cover 121 and convert the light into electric energy to be directly provided to electronic components such as the flexible display 20 of the electronic device 100. For another example, in another embodiment, the photoelectric conversion element 30 is configured to absorb the light transmitted through the first transparent cover 111 and/or the second transparent cover 121 and convert the light into electric energy, which can be divided into two parts, one part is supplied to the flexible display 20, the motor and other electronic components of the electronic device 100, and the other part is transmitted to the battery 40 for storage.

Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3, the electronic device 100 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may include two forms. The first configuration is a configuration (as shown in fig. 2) in which the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are fitted together, that is, the configuration of the electronic device 100 is located when the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are close to each other and move to the extreme position, in which the flat portion 21 of the flexible display 20 is exposed outside the housing assembly 10, the expanded portion 22 is substantially completely hidden inside the housing assembly 10, and the display area of the electronic device 100 is small and convenient to carry. The second configuration is a configuration (as shown in fig. 3) in which the second shell 12 moves away from the first shell 11 to drive the expansion portion 22 of the flexible display screen 20 to gradually expand out of the housing assembly 10, and in the second configuration, the second portion of the flexible display screen 20 at least partially expands out of the housing assembly 10 to form a display portion of the electronic device 100 together with the flat portion 21, so that the display area of the electronic device 100 is larger to provide a better display effect for a user.

In the present embodiment, the "display area" refers to an area of a portion of the flexible display screen 20 exposed outside the housing assembly 10 for display.

In the embodiment of the present application, the fact that the extension portion 22 can be hidden in the housing assembly 10 means that the extension portion 22 can be housed in the internal space of the housing assembly 10 and is not exposed, or the fact that the extension portion 22 can be hidden on the back surface of the housing assembly 10 and is exposed from the back surface is described herein by way of example, the extension portion 22 can be housed in the internal space of the housing assembly 10 and is not exposed.

Specifically, the photoelectric conversion element 30 is used for converting light energy into electric energy, that is, when light irradiates the photoelectric conversion element 30 through the first light-transmitting cover plate 111 and/or the second light-transmitting cover plate 121, the photoelectric conversion element 30 can absorb energy in the light and convert the energy into electric energy, and the photoelectric conversion element 30 is electrically connected to the battery 40 to transfer the electric energy to the battery 40 for storage. The photoelectric conversion element 30 may be in a film shape, so that the photoelectric conversion element 30 may be attached to the first transparent cover 111 and/or the second transparent cover 121 and carried on a user along with the electronic device 100. Therefore, on the premise of not increasing the weight and the volume of the electronic device 100, charging diversification is realized, and the use experience of a user is improved. In the embodiment of the present application, the material of the photoelectric conversion element 30 is not limited, and the photoelectric conversion element 30 may be made of cadmium telluride, copper indium gallium selenide, amorphous silicon, gallium arsenide, or other materials, which can meet the requirement.

Further, the housing assembly 10 may be a multi-layer structure stacked together, and the first light-transmitting cover plate 111 and the second light-transmitting cover plate 121 may be outermost structures of the housing assembly 10, so that the first light-transmitting cover plate 111 and the second light-transmitting cover plate 121 need to have certain hardness and strength. In this way, the housing assembly 10 can serve as a carrying structure to protect the internal components of the electronic device 100, prevent the internal components of the electronic device 100 from being impacted and vibrated by the external environment, and improve the structural strength of the electronic device 100. The photoelectric conversion element 30 is located in the housing assembly 10 and can be stacked and attached on at least one of the first transparent cover plate 111 and the second transparent cover plate 121, and the first transparent cover plate 111 and the second transparent cover plate 121 have excellent light transmittance, so as to ensure that light can reach the photoelectric conversion element 30 through the photoelectric conversion element, and further, the photoelectric conversion element 30 can have sufficient energy conversion rate. Meanwhile, the first light-transmitting cover plate 111 and the second light-transmitting cover plate 121 also play a role in protecting the photoelectric conversion element 30, so that the photoelectric conversion element 30 is prevented from being exposed to the environment and being worn or affected by moisture.

In addition, the user can set whether the photoelectric conversion element 30 is operated or not, or the user can set whether the photoelectric conversion element 30 is required to be charged or not.

In some embodiments, the first casing 11 of the electronic device 100 may serve as a main supporting structure of the electronic device 100, and the first casing 11 may accommodate therein components such as a driving device, a speaker, a circuit board, and the battery 40. Additionally, in some embodiments, the second shell 12 may be slightly smaller than the first shell 11, such that the second shell 12 may also be entirely collapsed inside the first shell 11. In some embodiments, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 may have similar shapes, and the second housing 12 and the first housing 11 cooperate to form a complete support structure, which makes the flexible display 20 symmetrical and beautiful when unfolded.

The electronic device 100 in the embodiment of the present application may be a mobile terminal device such as a smart phone or a tablet computer, or may be a device that can be equipped with a display device such as a game device, a vehicle-mounted computer, a notebook computer, or a video player, and is not specifically shown here.

In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, features defined as "first", "second", may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the described features. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, "a plurality" means two or more unless specifically defined otherwise.

It should be noted that in the description of the present application, it is to be understood that the terms "central", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner" and "outer" indicate orientations or positional relationships based on those shown in the drawings, and are only for convenience of description and simplicity of description, and do not indicate or imply that the referenced device or element must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and thus, should not be considered as limiting the present application. In addition, it should be noted that, in the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless explicitly stated or limited otherwise, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" are to be interpreted broadly, e.g., as either a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; may be a mechanical connection; either directly or indirectly through intervening media, either internally or in any other relationship. The specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art as appropriate.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the second housing 12 can slide between a first position a and a second position B relative to the first housing 11, and a display area of the electronic device 100 in the second position B of the second housing 12 is larger than a display area of the electronic device 100 in the first position a of the second housing 12. The light receiving area of the photoelectric conversion element 30 when the second case 12 is in the second position B is larger than the light receiving area when the second case 12 is in the first position a.

In this manner, the second housing 12 can slide relative to the first housing 11 such that the flexible display 20 can be deployed outside the housing assembly 10 or partially concealed within the housing assembly 10 to change the display area of the flexible display 20. Meanwhile, when the second housing 12 is in the second position B, the display area of the electronic device 100 is large, and the power consumption is high, and at this time, the light receiving area of the photoelectric conversion element 30 is also large, so that the charging efficiency is also improved to supply power to the electronic device 100 more efficiently, and the display area of the electronic device 100 is prevented from being large, and the cruising ability of the electronic device 100 is prevented from being reduced.

In the present embodiment, the "light receiving area" refers to an area of a portion of the photoelectric conversion element 30 that can receive light.

It is understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 100 may further include a driving device, the driving device is installed in the first housing 11 to drive the second housing 12 to move relative to the first housing 11, and the flexible display 20 is moved by the second housing 12 moving relative to the first housing 11, so that the electronic device 100 can be switched between two configurations. The first housing 11 is slidably connected to the second housing 12, and the extension portion 22 of the flexible display 20 can be disposed inside the housing assembly 10. In the first configuration, the extended portion 22 of the flexible display 20 is not used for display and only the flat portion 21 is used for display. At this time, only the second transparent cover 121 faces the external environment, the first transparent cover 111 is hidden inside the housing assembly 10, that is, the portion of the photoelectric conversion element 30 attached to the second shell 12 can receive light energy and convert the light energy into electric energy, while the portion of the photoelectric conversion element 30 attached to the first shell 11 cannot receive light energy, and the light receiving area of the photoelectric conversion element 30 is small.

When the second housing 12 moves away from the first housing 11, the flexible display 20 can be moved, so that the extension portion 22 of the flexible display 20 is at least partially pulled out of the housing assembly 10 to switch to the second configuration. In the second configuration, the extension portion 22 is at least partially pulled out of the housing assembly 10, and the flat portion 21 and the extension portion 22 are simultaneously used for displaying, thereby changing the display area of the electronic device 100. At this time, the first transparent cover plate 111 and the second transparent cover plate 121 simultaneously face the external environment, that is, the portions of the photoelectric conversion element 30 attached to the first transparent cover plate 111 and the second transparent cover plate 121 can simultaneously receive light energy and convert the light energy into electric energy, and the light receiving area of the photoelectric conversion element 30 is large.

In addition, it will be appreciated that during the switching of the two configurations, the driving device is used to provide a driving force, and the transmission assembly is used to transmit the driving force to the housing assembly 10, so as to move the second shell 12 relative to the first shell 11, and thus to at least partially extend the extension portion 22 out of the housing assembly 10 or retract the extension portion 22 into the housing assembly 10. In addition, the light receiving area of the photoelectric conversion element 30 when the second case 12 is in the second position B is larger than the light receiving area when the second case 12 is in the first position a, and thus the charging efficiency of the second case 12 in the second position B is stronger than that of the second case 12 in the first position a. The user can autonomously control the switching of the two modes to ensure the power of the battery 40, for example, when the electronic device 100 is in a power-off state, the user can manually pull the second housing 12, so that the photoelectric conversion element 30 maintains a larger light receiving area to ensure the charging efficiency.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the driving device may include a motor and rack and pinion mechanism and a reel, a middle portion of the extension portion 22 may be wound on the second case 12, a distal end of the extension portion 22 may be wound on the reel, the driving device may drive the second case 12 to slide relative to the first case 11 through the motor and rack and pinion mechanism, and the reel may gradually release the extension portion 22 to gradually unwind the extension portion 22 out of the housing assembly 10 by the second case 12 when the second case 12 and the first case 11 are moved away from each other. When the second shell 12 and the first shell 11 approach each other, the reel can gradually take up the expanded portion 22 so that the expanded portion 22 is gradually retracted into the housing assembly 10 by the second shell 12. Of course, in other embodiments, the driving device may also adopt a lead screw nut transmission, and the winding shaft may also be replaced by a torsion spring or a movable pulley mechanism, and the like, which is not limited herein.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, in some embodiments, the photoelectric conversion element 30 includes a photoelectric conversion film 31, and the photoelectric conversion film 31 is attached to at least one of the first transparent cover plate 111 and the second transparent cover plate 121.

Thus, the photoelectric conversion film 31 is a film, so that the photoelectric conversion film 31 can be attached to the electronic device 100, and on the premise that the electronic device 100 can be charged by solar energy, the thickness increase is small, and the overall lightness and thinness of the electronic device 100 are ensured.

In one example, the photoelectric conversion film 31 may be attached only to the first transparent cover 111, and in this case, the photoelectric conversion film 31 is hidden between the housing assemblies 10 in the first mode and cannot charge the battery 40; the photoelectric conversion film 31 can receive light only when the second case 12 is away from the first case 11 so that the photoelectric conversion film 31 is exposed, that is, when the second case is in the second state, and thus the battery 40 is charged. In another example, the photoelectric conversion film 31 may be attached only to the second light-transmissive cover 121, and in this case, the photoelectric conversion film 31 is exposed to the outside in both the first and second forms to charge the battery 40. In another example, the photoelectric conversion film 31 is attached to both the first transparent cover 111 and the second transparent cover 121, and in the first configuration, the portion of the photoelectric conversion film 31 attached to the second shell 12 can receive light energy and convert the light energy into electric energy; in the second mode, the portions of the photoelectric conversion film 31 attached to the first transparent cover plate 111 and the second transparent cover plate 121 can simultaneously receive light energy and convert the light energy into electric energy. The second shell 12 is distant from the first shell 11 so that the photoelectric conversion film 31 is fully developed and the light receiving area is large.

Further, referring to fig. 6 and 7, in some embodiments, the photoelectric conversion element 30 includes a first photoelectric conversion film 311 and a second photoelectric conversion film 312, the first photoelectric conversion film 311 is attached to the first light-transmissive cover plate 111, and the second photoelectric conversion film 312 is attached to the second light-transmissive cover plate 121.

In this way, the first photoelectric conversion film 311 and the second photoelectric conversion film 312 can operate separately, and they do not affect each other and charge the battery 40 separately.

Specifically, in the first form, the second photoelectric conversion film 312 is attached to the second shell 12, light can be irradiated onto the second photoelectric conversion film 312 through the second transparent cover plate 121, the light receiving area is the area of the second photoelectric conversion film 312 irradiated by the light, and the second photoelectric conversion film 312 receives light energy and converts the light energy into electric energy. In a second form, the first photoelectric conversion film 311 is attached to the first shell 11, the second shell 12 is away from the first shell 11, so that the first transparent cover plate 111 of the first shell 11 is exposed, light can be irradiated onto the first photoelectric conversion film 311 and the second photoelectric conversion film 312 through the first transparent cover plate 111 and the second transparent cover plate 121, respectively, a light receiving area is a sum of areas of the first photoelectric conversion film 311 and the second photoelectric conversion film 312 irradiated by the light, and the first photoelectric conversion film 311 and the second photoelectric conversion film 312 simultaneously receive crown energy and convert the crown energy into electric energy. The light receiving area of the second form is larger than that of the first form, and the second form has high charging efficiency.

In addition, it is understood that in other embodiments, the photoelectric conversion element 30 may also be a concentrating photovoltaic chip, and the first and second light- transmissive cover plates 111 and 121 may be concentrating cover plates. The concentrating cover plate can converge light rays to irradiate the concentrating photovoltaic chip, and the concentrating photovoltaic chip can convert light energy into electric energy and transmit the electric energy to the battery 40, so that the effect of light energy charging is realized. The concentrating photovoltaic chip can be one or more, and the concentrating cover plate can be composed of a plurality of concentrating lenses.

Referring to fig. 8 and 9, in some embodiments, the electronic device 100 further includes a main board 50, the photoelectric conversion film 31 includes a main body 313 and a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) 314, the FPC 314 is connected to the main body 313, the main body 313 is attached to at least one of the first transparent cover 111 and the second transparent cover 121, and the FPC 314 is electrically connected to the main body 313 and the main board 50 and can be bent relative to the main body 313.

In this way, the body 313 of the photoelectric conversion film 31 can receive light and convert the absorbed light into electric energy, and then the electric energy is transmitted to the electronic element of the electronic device 100 through the flexible circuit board 314 and the main board 50 to supply power to the electronic element, and the flexible circuit board 314 can be bent, so that the flexible circuit board 314 can electrically connect the body 313 and the main board 50.

It is understood that in such an embodiment, the electronic device 100 may include the battery 40, and the battery 40 may be electrically connected to the motherboard 50, so that the motherboard 50 may adjust and control the direction of the electric energy generated by the photoelectric conversion element 30, for example, the motherboard 50 may transmit the electric energy generated by the photoelectric conversion element 30 to the battery 40 for storage, or directly transmit the electric energy to the electronic element of the electronic device 100 to supply power to the electronic element, or may store a part of the electric energy in the battery 40 at the same time of supplying power to the electronic element.

Specifically, in such an embodiment, the main board 50 is located inside the housing assembly 10 of the electronic device 100 to prevent the main board 50 from being impacted and vibrated by the outside, and the body 313 is attached to the first and second light-transmissive covers 111 and 121, so a flexible circuit board 314 capable of being bent is required to electrically connect the two. Specifically, the main board 50 includes a charging circuit, the flexible circuit board 314 can electrically connect the charging circuit on the main board 50 and the body 313 of the photoelectric conversion film 31 to form a passage, the body 313 of the photoelectric conversion film 31 is used for receiving light and converting the absorbed light into electric energy, and the charging circuit on the main board 50 can convert the light into electric energy and transmit the electric energy to the battery 40.

Illustratively, in one example, when the body 313 is attached only to the first transparent cover 111 or only to the second transparent cover 121, only one flexible circuit board 314 is required to electrically connect the body 313 and the main board 50. In another example, the body 313 is attached to both the first transparent cover plate 111 and the second transparent cover plate 121, and the body 313 attached to the first transparent cover plate 111 and the second transparent cover plate 121 is the same photoelectric conversion film 31 that is integrally formed, so that only one flexible circuit board 314 is needed. In another example, the body 313 is attached to both the first transparent cover 111 and the second transparent cover 121, but the photoelectric conversion film 31 is divided into two films, namely, the first photoelectric conversion film 311 and the second photoelectric conversion film 312, i.e., the first photoelectric conversion film 311 and the second photoelectric conversion film 312 are independent structures and are not connected together, and then two flexible circuit boards 314 are needed, and two corresponding charging circuits are also installed on the main board 50. The two films work independently in cooperation with the two flexible circuit boards 314 and the two charging circuits, respectively, to charge the battery 40.

Referring to fig. 8 and 9, in some embodiments, the photoelectric conversion film 31 further includes a connector 315, the connector 315 is mounted on the flexible circuit board 314 and electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 314, and the connector 315 is detachably and electrically connected to the motherboard 50.

In this way, the connector 315 is mounted on the motherboard 50 so that the photoelectric conversion film 31 is electrically connected to the motherboard 50 to complete the charging function, and when the photoelectric conversion film 31 is damaged, the connector 315 is detached from the motherboard 50 so that the photoelectric conversion film 31 can be replaced by the electronic device 100.

Illustratively, in one example, when the body 313 is attached only to the first light-transmissive cover 111, only one flexible circuit board 314 and connector 315 are required to electrically connect the body 313 and the main board 50. In another example, when the body 313 is attached to the second transparent cover 121, only one flexible circuit board 314 and connector 315 are required to electrically connect the body 313 and the main board 50. In another example, the body 313 is attached to both the first transparent cover plate 111 and the second transparent cover plate 121, and the body 313 attached to the first transparent cover plate 111 and the second transparent cover plate 121 is the same photoelectric conversion film 31 integrally formed, so that only one flexible circuit board 314 and one connector 315 are required. In another example, the body 313 is attached to both the first transparent cover 111 and the second transparent cover 121, but the photoelectric conversion film 31 is divided into two films, namely, the first photoelectric conversion film 311 and the second photoelectric conversion film 312, i.e., the first photoelectric conversion film 311 and the second photoelectric conversion film 312 are independent structures and are not connected together, two flexible circuit boards 314 and connectors 315 are required, and two corresponding charging circuits are also provided on the motherboard 50. The two films work independently in cooperation with the two flexible circuit boards 314, the two connectors 315, and the two charging circuits, respectively, to charge the battery 40.

Referring to fig. 2 to 7, in some embodiments, the second housing 12 can slide between a first position a and a second position B relative to the first housing 11, and a display area of the electronic device 100 in the second position B of the second housing 12 is larger than a display area of the electronic device 100 in the first position a of the second housing 12. When the second housing 12 is in the first position a, the first light-transmitting cover 111 and the second light-transmitting cover 121 at least partially overlap, and the first photoelectric conversion film 311 and the second photoelectric conversion film 312 also at least partially overlap. When the second housing 12 is in the second position B, the first light-transmitting cover 111 and the second light-transmitting cover 121 are partially overlapped, and the first photoelectric conversion film 311 and the second photoelectric conversion film 312 are partially overlapped or shifted from each other. The overlapping area of the first light-transmitting cover plate 111 and the second light-transmitting cover plate 121 in the first position a is larger than that in the second position B, and the overlapping area of the first photoelectric conversion film 311 and the second photoelectric conversion film 312 in the first position a is larger than that in the second position B.

In this way, in the process of changing the form of the electronic device 100, the exposed portion of the photoelectric conversion film 31 may be irregular, and the overlapping area of the first photoelectric conversion film 311 and the second photoelectric conversion film 312 at the second position B is small, so that the first photoelectric conversion film 311 and the second photoelectric conversion film 312 have a larger light receiving area, and the charging efficiency is ensured.

Specifically, the second housing 12 can slide between the first position a and the second position B relative to the first housing 11, so that the electronic device 100 can have a form change, i.e., a first form and a second form. The display area of the flexible display screen 20 on the front surface of the electronic device 100 can be changed by changing the two forms, so that the motor device has the characteristic that the first form is convenient to carry, and has a larger display area of the second form, thereby providing better display experience. The area of the back surface of the electronic device 100 is also changed, that is, the light receiving areas corresponding to the first transparent cover 111 and the second transparent cover 121 are changed.

In one example, when the second shell 12 is in the first position A, the flat portion 21 is exposed and the extension portion 22 is hidden within the housing assembly 10. The second light-transmitting cover plate 121 is exposed, and the first light-transmitting cover plate 111 is hidden in the housing assembly 10, or the first light-transmitting cover plate 111 is disposed under the second case 12. The first photoelectric conversion film 311 and the second photoelectric conversion film 312 are at least partially overlapped, or the second photoelectric conversion film 312 is at least partially covered above the first photoelectric conversion film 311, so that light can be received only by the second photoelectric conversion film 312, and the light receiving area is small. In yet another example, when the second shell 12 is in the second position B, the flat portion 21 and the expanded portion 22 are exposed outside the housing assembly 10; the second light-transmissive cover 121 and the first light-transmissive cover 111 are also exposed outside the housing assembly 10. The first photoelectric conversion film 311 and the second photoelectric conversion film 312 are overlapped in a small part of their areas, and the large parts thereof are displaced from each other. Or the overlapped parts of the projections of the first photoelectric conversion film 311 and the second photoelectric conversion film 312 on the flexible display screen 20 are less, and the overlapped parts are more, at this time, the first photoelectric conversion film 311 and the second photoelectric conversion film 312 receive light simultaneously, and the light receiving area is larger.

It can be understood that the flexible display screen 20 and the photoelectric conversion film 31 are respectively located at two sides of the electronic device 100, and a user can place the side of the photoelectric conversion film 31 of the electronic device 100 upward when charging is needed, and can place the side of the flexible display screen 20 of the electronic device 100 upward when charging is not needed.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, in some embodiments, the electronic device 100 further includes a first optical adhesive layer 60 and a second optical adhesive layer 70, the first optical adhesive layer 60 is stacked between the first photoelectric conversion film 311 and the first light-transmitting cover 111, and the second optical adhesive layer 70 is stacked between the second photoelectric conversion film 312 and the second light-transmitting cover 121.

Thus, the first optical adhesive layer 60 and the second optical adhesive layer 70 respectively attach the first photoelectric conversion film 311 and the second photoelectric conversion film 312 to the first transparent cover plate 111 and the second transparent cover plate 121, so as to ensure the structural strength of the photoelectric conversion film 31 and the housing assembly 10 and prevent the components from falling off.

Specifically, a transparent optical Adhesive material, such as an Optical Clear Adhesive (OCA), may be used for the first optical Adhesive layer 60 and the second optical Adhesive layer 70. First printing opacity apron 111 sets up on first photoelectric conversion film 311 through first optics glue film 60, and first photoelectric conversion film 311 also can paste on first shell 11 through other glue films, can guarantee the structural strength of casing subassembly 10 like this, avoids first printing opacity apron 111 and first photoelectric conversion film 311 to drop. The second light-transmitting cover plate 121 is disposed on the second photoelectric conversion film 312 through the second optical adhesive layer 70, and the second photoelectric conversion film 312 can be also adhered to the second shell 12 through other adhesive layers, so that the structural strength of the housing assembly 10 can be ensured, and the second light-transmitting cover plate 121 and the second photoelectric conversion film 312 are prevented from falling off. The first optical adhesive layer 60 and the second optical adhesive layer 70 have the characteristics of being colorless and transparent, having the light transmittance of more than 90%, having good bonding strength, and the like, so that the light can reach the photoelectric conversion film 31 through the first optical adhesive layer 60 and the second optical adhesive layer 70, and the structural strength of the housing assembly 10 is improved.

Referring to fig. 4 to 7, in some embodiments, a textured pattern is formed on a surface of the photoelectric conversion film 31 facing the first transparent cover plate 111, or a textured pattern is formed on a surface of the photoelectric conversion film 31 facing the second transparent cover plate 121, or a textured pattern is simultaneously formed on surfaces of the photoelectric conversion film 31 facing the first transparent cover plate 111 and the second transparent cover plate 121.

Thus, the texture pattern can increase the appearance effect of the electronic device 100, and a pattern or the like can be formed on the electronic device 100 by using the texture pattern, which is beneficial to the beauty of the electronic device 100. Meanwhile, the photoelectric conversion film 31 may enhance the efficiency of the photoelectric conversion film 31 in absorbing light energy by using black as a ground texture pattern. In addition, the texture pattern of the photoelectric conversion film 31 can be used as the appearance texture of the electronic device 100, and an additional texture layer does not need to be formed on the first light-transmitting cover plate 111 and the second light-transmitting cover plate 121, so that the manufacturing processes are reduced, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.

Illustratively, in one example, the surface of the photoelectric conversion film 31 facing the first light-transmitting cover plate 111 is formed with a texture pattern, and the texture pattern is only visible when the electronic device 100 is in the second configuration. The grain pattern may be distinctive such that the electronic device 100 has a visual impact when converted into the second form. In another example, the surface of the photoelectric conversion film 31 facing the second transparent cover 121 has a texture pattern, and the electronic device 100 can see the texture pattern in both the first and second configurations. The textured pattern may be a branded logo to enhance branding effects of the electronic device 100. In another example, the photoelectric conversion film 31 has texture patterns formed on the surfaces thereof facing the first light-transmitting cover plate 111 and the second light-transmitting cover plate 121, and the two texture patterns may be the same or different. When the two texture patterns are different, for example, the texture on the second photoelectric conversion film 312 is a brand logo and the texture on the first photoelectric conversion film 311 is a floral pattern, different display effects can appear in the switching process between the first form and the second form of the electronic device 100, so that the electronic device 100 is more beautiful.

In the present embodiment, the color of the photoelectric conversion film 31 may be selected according to the requirement, including but not limited to black, bright red, pink, etc., and the color of the photoelectric conversion film 31 is preferably black, so as to further enhance the light absorption efficiency of the photoelectric conversion film 31.

In addition, the photoelectric conversion film 31 is stacked under the first light-transmitting cover plate 111 and the second light-transmitting cover plate 121, and the surface texture pattern of the photoelectric conversion film 31 can be prevented from being scratched.

Referring to fig. 4 to 7, in some embodiments, the light transmittances of the first transparent cover plate 111 and the second transparent cover plate 121 are both greater than or equal to 95%.

Thus, light can penetrate through the first light-transmitting cover plate 111 and the second light-transmitting cover plate 121 to reach the photoelectric conversion film 31, and the charging efficiency of the photoelectric conversion film 31 is ensured.

Specifically, the light transmittances of the first and second light-transmitting cover plates 111 and 121 are each greater than or equal to 95%, which means that the light transmittances of the first and second light-transmitting cover plates 111 and 121 are at least 95%, and the light transmittances of the first and second light-transmitting cover plates 111 and 121 may also be 96%, 97%, 98%, and so on. The first transparent cover plate 111 and the second transparent cover plate 121, and the first optical adhesive layer 60 and the second optical adhesive layer 70 both avoid reflecting light as much as possible, so that the light penetrates through the photoelectric conversion film 31 as much as possible, thereby improving the charging efficiency of the electronic device 100.
