That is, the hollow width of the hollow pattern 322a (or hollow pattern 322b) is the widest, and the width of the opposite sides is the narrowest. The hollow patterns 322a (or hollow patterns 322b) can be arranged at equal intervals, and the sizes of the hollow patterns 322a (or hollow patterns 322b) are at least partially the same, which means that they can be completely the same or partially the same. Through the layout configuration of the hollow pattern 322a (or the hollow pattern 322b), for example, the length of the hollow pattern 322a (or the hollow pattern 322b) gradually moves from the middle position of the deformable pattern layer 320a (or the deformable pattern layer 320b) to the positions on opposite sides. Become shorter; the middle width of the hollow pattern 322a (or hollow pattern 322b) gradually narrows from the middle position of the deformable pattern layer 320a (or the deformable pattern layer 320b) to the opposite sides; or, the hollow pattern 322a (or The length and middle width of the hollow pattern 322b) gradually become shorter and narrower from the middle position of the deformable pattern layer 320a (or the deformable pattern layer 320b) to the opposite sides; and the adjacent hollow pattern 322a (or the hollow pattern 322b) can also be dislocated, thereby achieving the effect of dispersing stress. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the arrangement of all the hollow patterns 322a (or the hollow patterns 322b) of the deformable pattern layer 320a (or the deformable pattern layer 320b) may also present a rhombus with a decreasing width from the middle to the opposite sides, But it is not limited to this.
須說明的是,相較於在相對兩側的鏤空圖案322a(或鏤空圖案322b)而言,若在中間位置的鏤空圖案322a(或鏤空圖案322b)的寬度最寬且長度最長時,則容易產生變形量過大且容易斷裂的問題;若在中間位置的鏤空圖案322a(或鏤空圖案322b)的寬度最寬,但長度與在相對兩側的鏤空圖案322a(或鏤空圖案 322b)的長度一樣時,則在中間位置的鏤空圖案322a(或鏤空圖案322b)的空心部分裕度較大,在彎折時不易有阻礙。因此,較佳地,在中間位置的鏤空圖案322a(或鏤空圖案322b)與在相對兩側的鏤空圖案322a(或鏤空圖案322b)的寬度相同,且在中間位置的鏤空圖案322a(或鏤空圖案322b)的長度最長,而在相對兩側的鏤空圖案322a(或鏤空圖案322b)的長度由中間往兩側逐漸變短,此設計在寬度的裕度足夠的情況下,彎折時無皺褶且圓潤,平均受力且強度較高。 It should be noted that compared with the hollow pattern 322a (or hollow pattern 322b) on the opposite sides, if the hollow pattern 322a (or hollow pattern 322b) in the middle position has the widest and longest length, it is easier The problem is that the amount of deformation is too large and easy to break; if the hollow pattern 322a (or hollow pattern 322b) in the middle position has the widest width, the length is the same as the hollow pattern 322a (or hollow pattern) on the opposite sides. When the length of 322b) is the same, the hollow portion of the hollow pattern 322a (or the hollow pattern 322b) in the middle position has a large margin, and it is difficult to be hindered during bending. Therefore, it is preferable that the hollow pattern 322a (or hollow pattern 322b) at the middle position and the hollow pattern 322a (or hollow pattern 322b) on the opposite sides have the same width, and the hollow pattern 322a (or hollow pattern) in the middle position 322b) has the longest length, and the length of the hollow pattern 322a (or hollow pattern 322b) on the opposite sides gradually decreases from the middle to the sides. This design has no wrinkles when it is bent when the width is sufficient. And round, average force and high strength.
特別是,本實施例的可形變圖案層320a(或可形變圖案層320b)的相對兩側朝同一方向彎折,意即向內彎折以呈現外緣內收的效果,以使可形變圖案層320a(或可形變圖案層320b)不易被翻起。請參考圖4,為了使電子裝置10的外觀更為一致且圓滑,本實施例的電子裝置10可更包括一收邊軟條240,以包覆可形變圖案層320a、320b(請參考圖1)的外緣。較佳地,是採用兩個收邊軟條240,配置在可形變圖案層320a、320b的相對兩側,用以容置可形變圖案層320a、320b的兩側外緣。此處,收邊軟條240的材質例如是橡膠或矽膠,但並不以此為限。須說明的是,若可形變圖案層320a(或可形變圖案層320b)的相對兩側沒有朝同一方向彎折,意即外緣平整且沒有外緣內縮的效果,則透過收邊軟條240來容置可形變圖案層320a、320b的兩側外緣時,電子裝置10整體的厚度會較厚。換言之,可形變圖案層320a(或可形變圖案層320b)的外緣內縮的設計除了可以避免被翻起之外,還可 以有效地降低整體電子裝置10的厚度。 In particular, the opposite sides of the deformable pattern layer 320a (or the deformable pattern layer 320b) of this embodiment are bent in the same direction, that is, bent inward to show the effect of the outer edge being retracted to make the deformable pattern The layer 320a (or the deformable pattern layer 320b) is not easily lifted. Please refer to FIG. 4. In order to make the appearance of the electronic device 10 more consistent and smooth, the electronic device 10 of this embodiment may further include a soft edge strip 240 to cover the deformable pattern layers 320 a and 320 b (refer to FIG. 1). ). Preferably, two soft-edging strips 240 are arranged on opposite sides of the deformable pattern layers 320a and 320b to receive the outer edges of both sides of the deformable pattern layers 320a and 320b. Here, the material of the soft edge strip 240 is, for example, rubber or silicone, but is not limited thereto. It should be noted that if the opposite sides of the deformable pattern layer 320a (or the deformable pattern layer 320b) are not bent in the same direction, which means that the outer edge is flat and there is no effect of the inner edge shrinking, then the soft edge strip is closed. When 240 is used to receive the outer edges of both sides of the deformable pattern layers 320a and 320b, the overall thickness of the electronic device 10 will be thick. In other words, the design of the shrinkage of the outer edge of the deformable pattern layer 320a (or the deformable pattern layer 320b) can be avoided. In order to effectively reduce the thickness of the overall electronic device 10.
由於可形變圖案層320a、320b具有鏤空圖案322a、322b,當鉸鍊結構310樞轉而使電子裝置10的第一機體100與第二機體200相對地開啟或閉合時,可形變圖案層320a、320b可依照鉸鍊結構310的轉動而產生延伸展或壓縮,意即透過可形變圖案層320a、320b所具有的可拉伸、可內縮與可回復的能力,不易產生皺摺,以達成穩定且順暢的樞轉動作。 Since the deformable pattern layers 320a and 320b have hollow patterns 322a and 322b, when the hinge structure 310 pivots to open or close the first body 100 and the second body 200 of the electronic device 10, the deformable pattern layers 320a and 320b It can be extended or compressed according to the rotation of the hinge structure 310, which means that through the ability of the deformable pattern layers 320a, 320b to be stretchable, retractable and recoverable, it is not easy to produce wrinkles to achieve stability and smooth Pivoting action.
