Description

Portable electronic device

The present invention relates to a portable electronic device, and more particularly to a portable electronic device having a plurality of display screens.

With the development of information and communication, portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, pagers, PDAs and handheld computers are increasingly becoming the necessary communication and entertainment tools in people's daily lives.

A typical portable electronic device, such as a mobile phone, generally includes a display portion that displays telephone, information or similar textual information of the incoming caller. With the dramatic increase in the types of information services and entertainment projects of portable electronic devices, such as mobile photography and watching movies, the amount of information that the display unit needs to display is also increasing. At the same time, users also require these portable electronic devices to have a larger display screen for better information services and entertainment effects. However, since portable electronic devices are basically required to be portable, the miniaturization and weight reduction are pursued, which makes the installation space of the display portion narrow, and it is difficult to realize a large screen.

In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a portable electronic device having a plurality of display screens, which can provide a larger display screen and a smaller body.

A portable electronic device includes a body and a main display screen disposed on one side of the body. The portable electronic device further includes an auxiliary display screen and a supporting member corresponding to the auxiliary display screen. A fixing member for installing the main display screen and the auxiliary display screen is disposed therein, and the auxiliary display screen is received in the body. When in use, the auxiliary display screen is turned out of the machine body and supported by the support member and the main display screen Side by side, the support member comprises a hinge and a support rod. One end of the hinge is connected to one side of the body, and the other end is connected to the support rod. The support rod supports the auxiliary display screen after being opened.

Compared with the prior art, the portable electronic device includes a main display screen and an auxiliary display screen. When the auxiliary display screen is not used, the auxiliary display screen can be accommodated inside the body, and when a large display screen is required, When watching a mobile TV, it can be turned over and the main display screen is connected side by side to form a larger display screen. The design is lifted before the volume of the portable electronic device is greatly increased, and the display area is effectively improved.

Step 1, please refer to FIG. 3 at the same time, first remove the front cover 51, and pull the staple 414 of the hinge 41 from the holding hole 114 to a certain distance, so that the buckle 426 of the support rod 42 is separated from the side of the second body 12. The card slot 124 is then removed from the back cover 52.

Step 2, referring to FIG. 4, the hinge 41 and the support rod 42 are rotated together to a certain angle in the direction of the rear cover 52, and the two auxiliary display screens 30 are sequentially turned from below the fixing member 40 to a position flush with the main display screen 20.

Step 3, referring to FIG. 5, the hinge 41 and the support rod 42 are first rotated back together to the back of the auxiliary display screen 30 and abut against the auxiliary display screen 30, and the back cover 52 is covered.

Step 4, referring to FIG. 6, the support rod 42 is rotated outward to be perpendicular to the rotating shaft 412 of the hinge 41, and the staple 414 of the hinge 41 is completely pressed back into the holding hole 114, thereby the auxiliary The display screen 30 is supported by the support bar 42 and kept in the same plane as the main display screen 20, so that an extended large display screen can be formed.

The action of the second auxiliary display screen 30 is reversed from the above opening action.

It can be understood that the portable electronic device 100 can also have only one auxiliary display screen 30 and a supporting member 40 corresponding thereto.

It can be understood that the connection manner of the support rod 42 of the support member 40 and the hinge 41 is not limited to the above-described connection manner, and the connection manner can satisfy that the support rod 42 can rotate around one end of the hinge 41.

It can be understood that the portable electronic device 100 can further include a connector for connecting the two auxiliary display screens 30 to the body 10, so that the two auxiliary display screens 30 are electrically connected to the body 10 when the position is opened to the above position. .

It can be understood that the setting device 40 can be a """ rod-shaped body including a bent portion at both ends. In use, it can be inserted into the body 10 through the bent portions at both ends to be connected to the body 10. When in use, it can be pulled out from the body 10.

The portable electronic device 100 includes a main display screen 20 and two auxiliary display screens 30. When the two auxiliary display screens 30 are not used, the two auxiliary display screens 30 are received in a folded manner behind the main display screen 20. When a large display screen is required, such as watching a mobile TV, it can be flipped to the same plane as the main display screen 20, and the main display screen 20 forms a large picture three times larger than the original display screen. The design is lifted before the volume of the portable electronic device 100 is greatly increased, and the display area is effectively improved. In addition, the use of a plurality of small-sized display screens constitutes a large display screen, which is relatively inexpensive.
