Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve design property in an electronic apparatus by obscuring a gap between a storage part of a housing and components to be arranged inside the storage part, and also to simplify the assembling processing of the electronic apparatus by enabling the gap to be obscured regardless of the sizes of components to be stored, etc.SOLUTION: An electronic apparatus (2, 60) includes a housing (4, 40), a panel (18), and a sheet member (decorative sheets 30, 60). The housing includes a storage part (8) for storing display means (a display component 6, an LCD unit 16) on an exterior surface. The panel is arranged inside the storage part to cover the front surface side of the display means. The sheet member is arranged in the circumference of the display means, is laminated between the housing and the panel via fixing means (adhesive members 26, 28), and includes a bending part (32) by allowing a part of a distal end side to have contact along the inner wall of the storage part. The bending part of the sheet member is exposed from a gap (12) formed between the panel and the storage part in the housing.

Description

The present invention relates to an electronic device including a casing in which a panel member is fitted on the exterior side.

  Some electronic devices such as cellular phones have a housing portion opened in a part of the front side of a housing, and display means is installed in the housing portion. On the front side of the display means, a protective panel for the display means, a touch panel that enables an input operation by contact with a user's finger, and the like are fitted. Such a structure in which the display means and the panel are fitted is employed, for example, to simplify the assembly of the electronic device and to realize a narrow frame of the housing with respect to the display means.

  The fitting structure to the housing, for example, easily creates a gap between the display means or panel to be arranged and the opening of the housing, and between the parts into which functional parts such as water blocking and foreign matter prevention are fitted. There is something to intervene in.

  With respect to such an electronic device, there is known one in which a design panel that is formed thin and is larger than a substrate installed on the upper surface side of a housing is fitted on the upper surface side of the substrate (for example, Patent Document 1). A glass member that transmits light emitted from the display means and detects touch input is installed inside the opening portion of the frame of the electronic device, includes the opening, and is transparent to the exterior side of the frame. A resin base is known (for example, Patent Document 2). Further, a display device is known in which a stopper formed on a part of a support member that supports the touch panel protrudes from the inner wall side of the frame along the peripheral side of the touch panel (for example, Patent Document 3).

  By the way, in the storage unit of the electronic device, for example, in order to avoid interference due to contact with the display means and panel member to be stored, the edge of the opening portion is larger than the size and arrangement position of the component to be stored. Formed. As a result, the electronic device may be damaged due to the installation position error with respect to the display means or the panel member, the dimensional error of each part, etc. Is suppressed.

  However, in the electronic device, since the storage portion is formed larger than the component to be installed, there is a large gap between the stored component and the wall portion of the storage portion. This gap is opened, for example, between a colored housing and a panel that emits light, and shadows generated along the housing due to different depths are visible from the front side of the electronic device. . Such a gap in which a shadow is generated gives rise to a problem of inconsistency in design, detracts from the aesthetics of the electronic device, and affects the appearance.

  Some electronic devices, for example, cover a part on the front side of a housed component so that the gap is not exposed to the outside. However, it is difficult to completely match the cover member with the opening width of the storage portion, and when the gap is not filled or when the cover member becomes large, it is covered to the housing side, and there is a step on the housing surface. There is a problem that arises. In addition, adjusting the size of the cover member in accordance with the gap of the opening portion leads to complication of the assembly work of the electronic device. In addition, since a sheet member is affixed around the front side of a display device or the like, the boundary portion of the operation area of the touch panel becomes unclear, which may cause a decrease in operability.

  Accordingly, an object of the electronic device of the present disclosure is to improve the design of the electronic device by making the gap between the housing housing and the components installed in the housing inconspicuous.

Further, another object of the electronic device of the present disclosure is to make the gap inconspicuous without adjusting or processing the size of the housing storage portion according to the size of the installed component to be stored. The purpose is to simplify the assembly process of the apparatus.

In order to achieve the above object, one aspect of the configuration of the present disclosure includes a housing, a panel, and a sheet member. The housing is formed with a housing portion for housing the display means on the exterior surface. A panel is installed in the said accommodating part, and covers the front side of the said display means. The sheet member is disposed around the display means, is laminated between the casing and the panel via a fixing means, and a part on the tip side is brought into contact with the inner wall of the storage portion. A bend is formed. The housing exposes the bent portion of the sheet member from a gap formed between the panel and the storage portion.

  According to the electronic device of the present disclosure, one of the following effects can be obtained.

  (1) The sheet installed in the housing portion of the housing can prevent the shadow from being generated inside the gap and make the gap inconspicuous.

(2) The arrangement length of the sheet member and the formation process of the bent shape can be adjusted along the inner wall of the storage portion, and the assembly process of the electronic device can be simplified.

For example, a gap 12 is formed between the housing 4 and the display component 6 along the inner periphery of the storage portion 8. The gap 12 is an example of the gap of the present disclosure, and the opening width is determined by a set value of the width of the storage portion 8 with respect to the display component 6, a dimensional error at the time of molding the housing 4, and the like.

<Internal configuration of electronic device>

  FIG. 2 shows a cross section taken along line II-II in FIG. FIG. 3 is an exploded view showing an example of the internal configuration of the electronic device. The configurations shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 are examples.

  In the electronic device 2, for example, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a substrate 14, an LCD unit 16, a panel 18, and an exterior decoration sheet 20 are accommodated in the accommodating portion 8. Further, in the storage unit 8, for example, a shelf 22 is formed on the inner side of the electronic device 2. The shelf portion 22 is formed in a part or the whole of the storage portion 8 along the inner wall of the housing 4, for example. The shelf portion 22 includes a placement surface 24 on which the panel 18 and the like stored in the storage portion 8 are placed. The panel 18 is mounted on the mounting surface 24 of the shelf 22 via the adhesive members 26 and 28 and the decorative sheet 30 with respect to a part of the flat surface side.

  The LCD unit 16 is an example of display means of the present disclosure, and generates and displays image information. The panel 18 is an example of a panel of the present disclosure that covers the front side of the LCD unit 16, and transmits image information emitted from the LCD unit 16 to the front side of the electronic device 2. Further, the panel 18 may be equipped with a touch panel function for performing an input operation by touching a living finger of a user of the electronic device 2, for example. The panel 18 is formed wider than the LCD unit 16. For example, an area for displaying image information transmitted from the LCD unit 16 is set on the center side of the plane portion, and the peripheral side of the plane portion is placed. It is set as a window frame area to be placed on the surface 24. As a result, the window frame area is set so that image information from the LCD unit 16 is not transmitted, and the user's finger or the like is not touched or is not detected as an input operation even if touched.

  The exterior decorative sheet 20 is installed on the front side of the panel 18. The exterior decorative sheet 20 is installed on the panel 18 via, for example, an adhesive. The exterior decorative sheet 20 may be installed, for example, on the entire surface of the flat portion of the panel 18, or may be installed only within a certain range, and light emitted from the LCD unit 16 with respect to the display area of the panel 18. It is only necessary to set a transparent color or the like that transmits the light. In addition, the exterior decorative sheet 20 has a low light transmittance with respect to the window frame area of the panel 18 in order to prevent the inside of the storage unit 8 from being visually observed through the panel 18 from the outside of the electronic device 2, for example. You may form with a color.

  The adhesive members 26 and 28 are an example of means for fixing the panel 18 and the mounting surface 24 with a decorative sheet 30 interposed therebetween, and may be formed of, for example, a double-sided tape or an adhesive substance. The adhesive members 26 and 28 are arranged on the peripheral side of the LCD unit 16, and the height is set so that the panel 18 is arranged from the placement surface 24 to the front side of the LCD unit 16, for example. Thereby, in the mounting surface 24, the shelf part 22 of the housing | casing 4, the decorating sheet 30, and the panel 18 will be in a lamination | stacking state.

  <About the configuration of the decorative sheet 30>

The decorative sheet 30 is an example of a sheet member of the present disclosure, and an example of means for preventing the placement surface 24 from being visually recognized from the gap 12 on the front side of the electronic device 2 by exposing a part of the front end side from the gap 12. It is. The decorative sheet 30 has a bent portion 32 formed by bringing a part of the front end side into contact with the inner wall of the storage portion 8. The decorative sheet 30 includes an elastic member, and is formed with such a hardness or thickness that gives a restoring force to return to the shape before the contact when deformed by contact with the inner wall of the housing 4, for example. . Therefore, for example, the electronic device 2 uses the lateral width (outer width) W2 of the decorative sheet 30 with respect to the gap 12 with respect to the long side of the panel 18 as shown in FIG. Width) is set wider than W1. In the electronic device 2, for example, the length L <b> 2 on the long side of the decorative sheet 30 is set larger than the length L <b> 1 of the storage portion 8 on the short side of the panel 18.

  Thereby, the decorative sheet 30 is maintained in a pressed state, for example, with a tip portion and a part of the bent portion 32 being directed toward the inner wall of the storage portion 8 by a restoring force against bending. In other words, at least a part of the bent portion 32 of the decorative sheet 30 is disposed inside the gap 12 of the electronic device 4 and covers the placement surface 24. For example, the decorative sheet 30 may be colored similarly to the case 4 and the exterior decorative sheet 20, or may be colored with a color or paint having a high light reflectance that is different from these. Thus, it may be easily visible from the outside. The decoration sheet 30 may be colored, for example, at least on the bent portion 32 exposed from the gap 12.

  4 and 5 show a configuration example of the decorative sheet and the adhesive member. FIG. 6 shows a cross section taken along line VI-VI in FIG.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the decorative sheet 30 is integrated by adhering adhesive members 26 and 28 to both surfaces of a flat surface portion. What is necessary is just to form this decorating sheet 30 and the adhesive members 26 and 28 in the shape which can be enclosed with respect to the outer periphery shape of the LCD unit 16, for example. In addition, the decorative sheet 30 and the adhesive members 26 and 28 are formed, for example, in accordance with the opening shape of the storage portion 8 and are interposed between the stacked panel 18 and the placement surface 24, so that the electronic device 4 Functions as a water stop for the inside.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the decorative sheet 30 is smaller than the outer side width W3 on the short side of the adhesive members 26 and 28 in which the outer side width W2 on the short side arranged along the outer wall of the storage portion 8 is stacked. Widely formed. Further, the outer side width L2 on the long side of the decorative sheet 30 is formed wider than the outer side width L3 on the long side of the adhesive members 26 and 28. Thereby, the decorative sheet 30 is in a state in which a part of the front end side is protruded from the outer peripheral side of the adhesive members 26 and 28. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the width W5 of the decorative sheet 30 is made longer than the width W4 of the adhesive members 26 and 28 on a part of the decorative sheet 30 and a part of the adhesive members 26 and 28. Yes.

  Further, the other end side of the decorative sheet 30 may be formed flush with the adhesive members 26 and 28, for example, with respect to the central side of the electronic device 2 on which the LCD unit 16 is arranged, or a part thereof. Alternatively, it may protrude toward the substrate 14 side. Further, the decorative sheet 30 is formed such that the width W2 on the short side of the decorative sheet 30 is larger than the width W3 of the adhesive members 26 and 28 in order to bring a part of the front end side into contact with the inner wall of the storage portion 8. The width W5 of the decorative sheet 30 may be shorter than the width W4 of the adhesive members 26 and 28 if the protruding shape is formed.

  In addition, the decorating sheet 30 and the adhesive members 26 and 28 are not restricted to what is formed according to the opening shape of the accommodating part 8, for example, You may install the decorating sheet 30 only in the part which the clearance gap 12 opens. . Alternatively, the decorative sheet 30 and the adhesive members 26 and 28 may be separated into a plurality of parts and installed in the storage unit 8. In this case, for the electronic device 2, for example, a waterproof seal or the like may be separately installed on the housing 4 with respect to the installation portion of the panel 18.

  <About the installation process of the decorative sheet 30>

  FIG. 7 shows an example of the decorative sheet setting process. The configuration, processing procedure, and processing content shown in FIG. 7 are examples, and are not limited to the configuration according to the present invention.

  The installation of the decorative sheet 30 includes a process of arranging the decorative sheet 30 and the adhesive members 26 and 28 on the opening side of the storage unit 8 of the housing 4 as shown in FIG. At this time, the decorating sheet 30 includes a process of setting a part of the front end side of the decorating sheet 30 at a position overlapping the edge 10 of the housing 4 in order to contact the inner wall of the storage unit 8, for example. The length of the laminated portion of the decorative sheet 30 with respect to the edge portion 10 affects the formation length of the bent portion 32, for example. That is, the angle of the bent portion 32 changes depending on the stacking length of the decorative sheet 30, and the arrangement height of the leading end portion of the decorative sheet 30 facing the opening 12 is set.

Therefore, in the installation of the decorative sheet 30, for example, a fixed reference value is set for the mounting length of the decorative sheet 30, and the mounting length may be adjusted in the assembly process of the electronic device 2. . Here, if the lamination length of the decorative sheet 30 with respect to the edge portion 10 is increased, the contact width of the decorative sheet 30 with respect to the inner wall of the storage portion 8 also increases.

  Next, the arranged decorating sheet 30 and the adhesive members 26 and 28 are slid from the set position toward the inside of the storage unit 8 as shown in FIG. 7B, for example. . At this time, the front end side of the decorating sheet 30 follows the decorating sheet 30 from the edge 10 through the inner wall of the storage unit 8 by contact with the edge 10 of the housing 4, for example. And in this slide, the bending part 32 is formed because a part of the front end side of the decorating sheet 30 bends by the frictional resistance from the inner wall.

  When the adhesive member 28 reaches the placement surface 24, as shown in FIG. 7C, the decorative sheet 30 adheres to the placement surface 24 while maintaining the bent portion 32 formed between the inner wall and the decorative sheet 30. The member 28 is bonded and fixed. When the panel 18 is installed on the upper surface side of the adhesive member 26, the gap 12 is formed on the front surface side where the bent portion 32 is formed by the panel 18 and the inner wall of the storage portion 8.

  The decorative sheet 30 integrated with the adhesive members 26 and 28 is independently installed in the storage portion 8 of the housing 4 and is previously bonded to a part of the panel 18 via the adhesive member 26. Alternatively, it may be installed together with this panel 18.

  <About the state inside the gap 12>

  FIG. 8 shows an example of a decoration state of the electronic device. The configuration shown in FIG. 8 is an example.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the decorative sheet 30 installed in the storage unit 8 is inside the storage unit 8 with respect to the height H1 from the exterior surface side of the electronic device 2 to the placement surface 24 of the shelf 22. For example, the electronic device 2 is disposed within a height H <b> 2 from the exterior surface side of the electronic device 2 and covers the upper surface of the mounting surface 24. The bent portion 32 of the decorative sheet 30 becomes visible from the gap 12 by receiving, for example, external light or light from the LCD unit 16 transmitted through the panel 18.

  In this way, the decorative sheet 30 is exposed, for example, in the gap 12 and covers a position shallower than the mounting surface 24 from the exterior surface side of the electronic device 2, thereby allowing the decorative sheet 30 to cover the mounting surface 24 and the inner wall of the storage unit 8. , And the shadow 12 is prevented from being generated in the gap 12. And the electronic device 2 forms the color layer by the decorating sheet 30 in the clearance gap 12 between the panel 18 and the edge part 10 of the housing | casing 4 because the decorating sheet 30 is exposed. Further, the decorative sheet 30 is formed of a material having an elastic force, so that the bent shape is maintained with respect to the inner wall of the housing 4.

  According to such a configuration, the decorative sheet 30 installed in the storage portion 8 is bent on the inner wall side of the housing 4, and the bent portion 32 is exposed from the gap 12 between the panel 18 and the housing 4. The generation of shadows inside the gap 12 is prevented. And the electronic device 2 can improve the design property of an external appearance by the clearance sheet 30 making the space | gap 12 inconspicuous. With the structure in which the decorative sheet 30 is placed in contact with the inner wall of the storage unit 8, the arrangement length of the decorative sheet 30 and the bent shape can be formed, and the assembly process of the electronic device 2 can be simplified. I can plan. Specifically, the decorative sheet 30 is formed wider than the storage portion 8 and is installed while being in contact with the wall surface in the storage portion 8 to form the bent portion 32, whereby the decorative sheet 30 with respect to the dimension of the gap 12 is formed. No need for installation processing or dimensional adjustment, and the bent portion can be easily formed.

  [Second Embodiment]

  FIG. 9 shows a configuration example of an electronic device according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 10 shows a configuration example inside the electronic device. The configurations shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 are examples, and the present invention is not limited to such configurations.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, the casing 40 of the electronic device 2 is bent so that a part of the decorative sheet 30 is brought into contact with the mounting surface 24 and guided in the bending direction in the storage portion 8. A guide portion 42 is formed. For example, the bending guide 42 is formed with an inclined surface having a predetermined angle from the mounting surface 24 toward the inner wall of the housing 4. The inclination angle of the bending guide portion 42 is, for example, an angle at which the bent portion 32 of the decorative sheet 30 disposed in the gap 12 from the front side of the electronic device 2 is easily visible, or the bent portion 32 of the decorative sheet 30. It is sufficient to set the angle so as not to cause wrinkles. The bending guide portion 42 is formed, for example, along the outer shape of the storage portion 8, and has an inclined surface at the corner of the storage portion 8 as shown in FIG. 9B.

  The bending guide portion 42 may be formed with a certain level difference from the placement surface 24 as shown in FIG. 9C. What is necessary is just to form this level | step difference in the height set based on the thickness of the adhesive member 28 installed in order to fix the decorating sheet 30 and the mounting surface 24, for example. The lateral width of the bending guide portion 42 is set based on, for example, the difference between the opening width of the storage portion 8 and the width of the panel 18 stored in the storage portion 8.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the decorative sheet 30 installed in the storage portion 8 is partially disposed on the bending guide portion 42 along the inclined surface of the bending portion 32 along the inclined surface. Is formed. At this time, the decorative sheet 30 is pressed against the inclined surface of the bending guide portion 42 by a restoring force against elastic deformation, and the bent shape is maintained.

  In addition, although the case 40 showed the case where the bending guide part 42 was continuously formed along the perimeter of the accommodating part 8, it is not restricted to this. For example, the bending guide portion 42 may be formed only in a portion where the opening of the gap 12 is set with respect to the storage portion 8 or may be formed at a certain distance.

  According to such a configuration, the bent state such as the angle and width of the bent portion 32 is made constant by forming the bent portion 32 in the decorative sheet 30 along the bending guide portion 42 in the storage portion 8. The decorative sheet 30 exposed from the gap 12 can have a uniform appearance. Further, since the bending guide part 42 sets conditions such as a bent shape, the shape of the bent part 32 is formed to be constant with respect to an error in the opening width of the gap 12 and the length of the decorative sheet 30. Can do.

  [Third Embodiment]

  FIG. 11 illustrates a configuration example of the electronic device according to the third embodiment. The configuration shown in FIG. 11 is an example.

  The electronic device 60 shown in FIG. 11 prevents the generation of shadows by making the inside of the gap 12 shine, for example. The electronic device 60 includes, for example, a light emitting means 62 such as an LED (Light Emitting Diode) in the storage unit 8 and a decorative sheet 64 that guides light emitted from the light emitting means 62. The light emitting means 62 may be mounted on the substrate 14 or may be installed on the mounting surface 24, for example. The decorative sheet 64 can be elastically deformed, such as a silicon material, and is formed of a light guide member that guides light in an arbitrary direction.

  The decorative sheet 64 is an example of a sheet member of the present disclosure, and the bent portion 32 is formed by bringing a part of the distal end side into contact with the inner wall of the storage portion 8. The front end portion of the decorative sheet 64 is directed from the gap 12 to the front side of the electronic device 60. The decorative sheet 64 takes in light emitted from the light emitting means 62 from one end disposed on the inner side of the storage portion 8 and guides it toward the opening side of the gap 12 through the bent portion 32. The flat portion of the decorative sheet 64 may be colored with, for example, a paint, and may be emitted with a predetermined color by light that guides the interior.

  For example, light guided by the decorative sheet 64 from the gap 12 is emitted to the front side of the electronic device 60, and the peripheral edge of the panel 18 can be emitted.

  According to such a configuration, the decoration sheet 64 exposed from the gap 12 between the panel 18 and the housing 4 causes the guided light to be emitted from the gap 12, thereby preventing the occurrence of a shadow inside the gap 12. can do. And the electronic device 60 can improve the design property of an external appearance by the clearance gap 64 becoming inconspicuous by the decorating sheet 64. FIG. By not exposing the placement surface 24 by the decorative sheet 64, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of shadows due to the panel 18 and the inner wall of the housing 4 inside the gap 12. In addition, by arranging the decorative sheet 64 in contact with the inner wall of the storage unit 8, the arrangement length of the decorative sheet 64 and the formation process of the bent shape can be performed, and the assembly process of the electronic device 60 is simplified. Can be achieved.

  [Comparative Example]

  FIG. 12 shows a comparative example of a conventional electronic device.

  In the electronic device 100, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 12A, a gap 12 is opened at a boundary portion between the panel 18 that is a part of the display component 6 and the edge portion 10 of the housing 4. In this gap 12, for example, the mounting surface 24 in the storage portion 8 is exposed from the front side of the electronic device 100. The depth of the gap 12 is set by the thickness of the substrate 14, the LCD unit 16, and the panel 18 installed in the storage unit 8, for example. The panel 18 is fixed to the mounting surface 24 by an adhesive member 102 whose thickness is set according to the depth of the storage portion 8.

  In the gap 12 where the mounting surface 24 is exposed, for example, as shown in FIG. 12B, light such as outside light does not reach between the panel 18 and the inner wall of the housing 4, and a shadow is generated. As a result, in the electronic device 100, a dark space is visually recognized with respect to the display component 6 and the edge 10 of the housing 4. Further, the gap 12 illuminates the placement surface 24 when external light or the like enters, but the illuminance differs from the edge 10. Therefore, even if the mounting surface 24 is colored similarly to the edge portion 10, for example, the gap 12 becomes dim and causes a sense of inconsistency in the coloring of the entire housing 4 in terms of design.

  On the other hand, in the electronic device 2 of the present disclosure, in order to securely install the panel 18, the gap 12 generated by opening the storage portion 8 larger than the size of the panel 18 is larger than the placement surface 24. By exposing the decorative sheet 30 at a high position, it is possible to prevent a shadow from being generated inside the gap 12 due to external light or the like. In addition, by using the decorative sheet 30 that is set wider than the opening width of the storage unit 8 and bending it along the inner wall of the storage unit 8, the size and shape of the decorative sheet 30 with respect to the width of the gap 12 can be reduced. Adjustment is not necessary, and the assembly process of the electronic device can be simplified.

  [Other Embodiments]

  (1) In the said embodiment, although it formed in the lamination | stacking state by the front side and the back side with the separate adhesive members 26 and 28 with respect to the decorating sheet 30, it is not restricted to this. The adhesive member may be single, for example, and the decorative sheet 30 may be installed so as to surround the surrounding side. For example, the adhesive member may be configured such that the panel 18 is placed on the front surface side, the lower surface side is adhered to the placement surface 24, and a part of the decorative sheet 30 is sandwiched from the side surface side. In other words, the above-described decorative sheet 30 has one end projecting toward the inside of the storage portion 8 with respect to, for example, the adhesive members 26 and 28. On the other hand, the decorative sheet 30 may be fixed so that the one end side is press-fitted into the inside of a single adhesive member. Thereby, the number of parts of the electronic device can be reduced.
