Description

E-book

The present invention relates to an electronic book.

Reading has always been an important way for people to acquire knowledge and improve their self-cultivation. In the past, people could only read through newspapers, books, books, etc. on paper. However, books, newspapers, etc. are heavy, occupy more space, are inconvenient to carry, and have limited content in books and newspapers. Now, with the development of science and technology, an electronic product dedicated to reading - e-books came into being. E-books are small in size, light in weight, easy to carry, and large in storage, making them very convenient for people to use. E-books generally use Electro-Phoretic Display (EPD), which is characterized by the need to rely on external light sources for viewing. Therefore, when the external light source conditions are not good, it will affect the use of the e-book.

In view of this, it is necessary to provide an electronic book having a self-illuminating function.

An electronic book includes a main body and a pivoting member pivotally connected to the main body, the front side of the main body includes two pivot rods and an electronic paper display screen, and the back side of the main body is provided with a first receiving groove, the pivoting member The substrate includes a substrate disposed in the first receiving slot and a light source disposed on the substrate. An arc-shaped flap extends from each side of the substrate, and the substrate is fixed to the first end of the two pivots through the flap. When the brightness of the surrounding environment is low, pivot the pivot And connecting the substrate from the first receiving slot and flipping over the electronic paper display screen, so that the light emitted by the light source is illuminated on the electronic paper display screen.

Compared with the prior art, the light source of the electronic book of the invention emits light when the brightness of the surrounding environment is low, and illuminates the electronic paper display screen, so that the user can read the book normally without an external external light source.

1 is an assembled view of a preferred embodiment of an electronic book of the present invention.

Fig. 2 is a view showing the state of use of Fig. 1.

Figure 3 is a view of the other direction of Figure 2.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, a preferred embodiment of the electronic book of the present invention includes a main body 10 and a pivoting member 20 pivotally connected to the main body 10.

The main body 10 is an ordinary electronic book including an electronic paper display screen 12. A substantially rectangular through hole 14 is defined in each side of the main body 10. The through hole 14 forms a avoidance opening 140 near the top end of the main body 10. A receiving groove 16 is defined in the back side of the main body 10.

The pivoting member 20 includes two pivots 22 , a substrate 24 , and a light source 26 fixed to the substrate 24 . Each of the pivots 22 includes a first end and a second end, and the second end is provided with a pivoting portion 220. The pivoting portion 220 is pivotally fixed to both sides of the front portion of the main body 10 and faces the two avoiding openings 140. An arcuate flap 240 extends from each side of the substrate 24, and the substrate 24 is fixed to the first end of the two pivots 22 through the flap 240. The substrate 24 defines a receiving groove 242. The light source 26 is disposed in the receiving groove 242 and electrically connected to the main body 10 . In the present embodiment, the light source 26 is a surface light source composed of an LED lamp.

In use, if the brightness of the surrounding environment is low, the flap 240 is operated, so that the pivoting member 20 is rotated relative to the main body 10 through the pivoting portion 220, the substrate 24 is adjusted to an appropriate position, and the light source 26 is turned on, so that the light emitted by the light source 26 is emitted. Illuminating onto the electronic paper display 12 allows the user to read normally.

When the light source is not required, the pivoting member 20 is operated, so that the pivoting member 20 is rotated relative to the main body 10 through the pivoting portion 220, and the substrate 24 is received in the receiving groove 16, and the two pivot rods 22 are received in the two through holes 14.

In summary, the present invention complies with the requirements of the invention patent and submits a patent application according to law. The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and equivalent modifications or variations made by those skilled in the art will be included in the following claims.
