The present invention relates to a sign module, and more particularly to a sign module for an electronic device.

In the existing electronic devices, the logo of the company brand or the product model is often set in the device itself as a representation of the corporate image or product characteristics. Furthermore, as the mobility of the electronic device increases, the display elements of the existing electronic device change their display direction due to their use state, and the display content can be shared to others for viewing at different viewing angles. However, the logo is mostly a fixed member provided on the electronic device, and cannot change its display state with the electronic device or its display element. Therefore, for the viewer, in the above sharing mode, as the viewing angle is different, it is easy to cause the sign to be reversed and cannot be consistent with the viewing angle, which is not conducive to the feeling of the brand.

The invention provides a marking module and an electronic device using the same, wherein the marking module can change its display state according to the moving state of the electronic device.

An embodiment of the invention provides a sign module for assembly to an electronic device. The logo module includes a body and a conversion unit. The body is disposed on the display side of the electronic device and the body has two light transmitting portions. The conversion unit is disposed in the electronic device and corresponds to the light transmitting portion. The conversion unit includes two fluids of different specific gravity, and the two fluids change their positions corresponding to the light transmitting portion according to the moving state of the electronic device. One of the fluids reflects light from the external environment via at least one of the light transmissive portions.

4 to FIG. 7 are schematic diagrams showing a conversion process of the electronic device of FIG. 1 , and the process of transitioning from the state of FIG. 2 to the state of FIG. 3 is illustrated in a side view, wherein FIG. 4 corresponds to FIG. 2. Figure 7 corresponds to Figure 3. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , the electronic device 100 of the embodiment further includes a logo module 140 , which is assembled on the display component 120 . The mark module 140 includes a body 142 and a conversion unit 144. The body 142 is disposed on the display side S1 of the display element 120, and the body 142 has a first light transmitting portion 142a and a second light transmitting portion 142b. The conversion unit 144 is disposed on the inner side S2 of the display element 120 and corresponds to the first light transmitting portion 142a and the second light transmitting portion 142b.

It is to be noted that the conversion unit 144 includes the container 144a disposed on the inner side S2 of the display element 120 and the first fluid A1 and the second fluid A2 housed in the container, and the first fluid A1 and the second fluid A2 have different specific gravity and Separated from each other. In other words, as shown in FIG. 3, when the display element 120 assumes the first longitudinal state (when the display surface of the display element 120 is parallel to the gravity direction G1), the first fluid A1 and the second fluid A2 are different in specific gravity. It can be placed in the upper and lower separation configuration. Further, since the specific gravity of the first fluid A1 is larger than the second fluid A2 in the embodiment, in the first longitudinal state of FIG. 3, the first fluid A1 is below the second fluid A2, and the first fluid A1 Corresponding to the first light transmitting portion 142a, and the second fluid A2 corresponds to the second light transmitting portion 142b.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the first fluid A1 absorbs light more than its reflectance to light, and the second fluid A2 has a greater reflectance to light than its light absorption, that is, a visual effect. In terms of the first fluid A1 has For darker colors, the second fluid A2 has a lighter color, and the two have a distinct color shade. In this way, when the light of the external environment is transmitted to the first fluid A1 and the second fluid A2 via the first light transmitting portion 142a and the second light transmitting portion 142b, the first fluid A1 easily absorbs light, and the second fluid A2 is easy to reflect light, so that the second fluid A2 can transmit the reflected light to the external environment via the second light transmitting portion 142b, so that the user can only see the second light transmitting region 142b. In other words, the first light transmitting region 142a and the second light transmitting region 142b respectively belong to different patterns, so that the display element of the electronic device can only exhibit the second light transmission in the first longitudinal state of FIG. 3. The resulting pattern of the region 142b, while the first light transmissive region 142a is not visible to the user due to light absorption.

For example, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the first light-transmissive area 142a and the second light-transmissive area 142b of the present embodiment belong to two patterns in a mirror image configuration, and the forward and inverted characters are used herein. A" as a representative. When the display element 120 is in the first longitudinal state, the first light-transmissive region 142a is located below the second light-transmitting region 142b, and at the same time, by the characteristics and configuration of the first fluid A1 and the second fluid A2, The second light-transmissive region 142b can reflect light to be viewed by the user because it corresponds to the second fluid A2, that is, the user can see the forward text "A".

Next, referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, when the display element 120 is switched to the second longitudinal state as shown in FIG. 2, that is, after the display element 120 is rotated 180 degrees from the first longitudinal state of FIG. 1, the second time The light-transmitting region 142b is located below the first light-transmitting region 142a, but the first fluid A1 and the second fluid A2 still exhibit a state in which the first fluid A1 is below the second fluid A2 due to the difference in specific gravity, so the first fluid A1 Turn to correspond To the second light transmitting region 142b, the second fluid A2 is turned to correspond to the first light transmitting region 142a, so that the user can only view the pattern to which the first light transmitting region 142a belongs. Since the first light-transmissive region 142a and the second light-transmitting region 142b are in a mirror image arrangement pattern, in the state of FIG. 2 (ie, FIG. 6), the user still sees the forward text "A". .

In other words, in the first longitudinal state (such as FIG. 1 or FIG. 3) of the display element 120, or in the second longitudinal state (such as FIG. 2 or FIG. 6), the first light transmitting area 142a of the marking module 140, The second light transmitting region 142b and the first fluid A1 and the second fluid A2 are disposed in the same direction as the gravity direction G1, and the first light transmitting region 142a and the second light transmitting region 142b are coupled to the first fluid A1 and the second fluid A2. Corresponding to each other, that is, taking the first longitudinal state as an example, wherein the fluid and the light transmitting region correspond to each other, that is, the orthographic projection of the first fluid A1 on the display element 120 can cover the first light transmitting region 142a. The orthographic projection of the display element 120, and the orthographic projection of the second fluid A2 on the display element 120 can cover the orthographic projection of the second light transmissive region 142b on the display element 120 (or vice versa, in the second longitudinal state) It can be known that it will not be described here, and thus the fluid can be exposed to the body via the light transmitting portion. Further, by visually contrasting the fluid, at least a portion of the light transmissive portion can be seen by the user. In this way, by the corresponding relationship between the fluid and the light-transmissive region, the logo module 140 can be seen in the state of FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, and the user sees a positive pattern, thereby reaching the marker module 140. The effect of changing the display direction of the display element 120 is changed.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the display component 120 is, for example, a liquid crystal screen, and the body 142 of the logo module 140 is disposed on the glass of the display component 120. The glass substrate 122 is not limited by this embodiment. In another embodiment not shown, the body 142 of the sign module 140 may also be disposed on the frame of the liquid crystal screen.

In addition, referring to FIG. 5, when the display element 120 is rotated 90 degrees from the first longitudinal state or the second longitudinal state to be in a lateral state, that is, the display element 120 is perpendicular to the gravity direction G1, at this time, the first light transmitting portion 142a (with the second light transmitting portion 142b), the first fluid A1 and the second fluid A2 are horizontally stacked. Further, since the specific gravity of the first fluid A1 is greater than the second fluid A2, the first fluid A1 is still positioned below the second fluid A2, thereby causing the second fluid A2 to simultaneously correspond to the first light-transmitting region 142a and the first The state of the two transparent regions 142b, that is, the orthographic projection of the second fluid A2 on the display element 120 simultaneously covers the orthographic projection of the first light transmitting portion 142a on the display element 120, and the second light transmitting portion 142b is on the display element 120. Orthographic projection on. Thus, the second fluid A2 having a light reflectance greater than the light absorption rate is located between the first light transmitting portion 142a and the first fluid A1, and also represents that the two patterns belonging to the mirror configuration are simultaneously positioned at the orientations V1 and V2. What the user sees, and thus the viewing requirements when the display element 120 is horizontally configured.

In summary, in the above embodiment of the present invention, since the conversion unit includes two fluids of different specific gravity, the two fluids change the position of the corresponding light transmitting portion according to the motion state of the electronic device. In other words, when the electronic device switches between different display orientations, the two fluids also change position due to the influence of gravity, and thus can correspond to different light transmitting portions. In this way, the difference between the light reflectance and the light absorptivity of the two fluids can be used to display the display module in different display states, so as to meet the display content of the electronic device in response to different display states. Consistent view angle.
