The drive component 3 may be arranged on the back of the monitor 1 and connected to the support structure 2. The drive component 3 may be used to drive the angle between at least two areas of the monitor 1 to change when the relative position relationship between the monitor 1 and the support structure 2 changes, such that the monitor 1 has at least two different structural forms.
The electronic apparatus may be placed on the carrier surface such as a desktop through the support structure 2, and the position relationship of the monitor 1 relative to the support structure 2 may be able to be adjusted. By adjusting the position relationship relative to the support structure 2, the spatial posture or structural form of the monitor 1 may be changed.
In one embodiment, by adjusting the positional relationship relative to the support structure 2, the spatial posture change of the monitor 1 may include switching between the horizontal screen and the vertical screen. The monitor 1 may rotate relative to the support structure 2, and the spatial posture may be converted from the horizontal screen to the vertical screen, such that the monitor 1 performs display in the vertical screen. Or the monitor 1 may be rotated, and the spatial posture may be converted from the vertical screen to the horizontal screen, such that the monitor 1 performs display in the horizontal screen. By adjusting the positional relationship relative to the support structure 2, the spatial posture change of the monitor 1 may also include a change in the angle between the monitor 1 and the carrier surface. As shown in
When the relative positional relationship between the monitor 1 and the support structure 2 changes, the angle between at least two areas of the monitor 1 may change, such that the monitor 1 has at least two different structural forms. The angle between the at least two areas of the monitor 1 may change, such that the display surface of the monitor 1 is curved or flat to meet different needs and improve user experience. In one embodiment, when the monitor 1 is perpendicular to the carrier surface, the display surface of the monitor 1 may be a curved surface, which may bring an immersive viewing experience to the user when watching the content displayed on the monitor 1, and the viewing experience may be better. When the monitor 1 is basically parallel to the carrier surface, the display surface of the monitor 1 may be a plane, which may facilitate operations such as drawing.

In one embodiment, the drive component 3 may be arranged at one-fifth of the back shell 12, and the distance between the drive component 3 and the edge of the back shell 12 is one-fifth of the overall length of the back shell 12.
As shown in
The drive component 3 may be arranged between the first shell portion 121 and the two second shell portions 122. Driven by the shaft, the drive component 3 may drive the two second shell portions 122 to rotate relative to the first shell portion 121, thereby driving the display panel 11 to bend into a curved surface or flatten into a plane.
The drive component 3 may also be disposed on a side of the back shell 12 facing away from the display panel 11.

In one embodiment, the drive component 3 may be arranged at one-fifth of the back plate 13, and the distance between the drive component 3 and the edge of the back plate 13 may be one-fifth of the overall length of the back plate 13.
The drive component 3 may also be arranged on the side of the back plate 13 facing the screen, and the rotating shaft structure 4 may be arranged on the same side as the drive component 3.

Driven by the shaft, the drive component 3 may drive the two first plates 131 to rotate relative to the second plate 132, thereby driving the display panel 11 to bend into a curved surface or flatten into a plane.
In different structural forms, the curvature of the monitor 1 may be different. The display panel 11 may be bent or flattened under the drive of the two first plate 131, and may present different curvatures including a planar state and curved states with different curvatures.
When the display panel 11 is flattened into a plane, the curvature may be 0. For example, the electronic apparatus may be placed on the carrier surface through the support structure 2, and the monitor 1 in the horizontal screen state may be rotated relative to the support structure 2 through the rotating shaft structure 4. The angle between the display panel 11 and the carrier surface may gradually decrease. The display panel 11 may be flattened to a plane driven by the two first back plates 13. Therefore, the display panel 11 may be flattened to a plane with a curvature of 0. When the display panel 11 is a plane, the angle between the display panel 11 and the carrier surface may be 0° or an appropriate acute angle to facilitate user operation. For example, when the display panel 11 is a plane, the angle between the display panel 11 and the carrier surface may be 0° to 60°, such as 45°, 30°, 15°, etc.

For example, in the horizontal screen state, the monitor 1 may rotate relative to the support structure 2 through the rotating shaft structure 4, such that the angle between the monitor 1 and the carrier surface gradually increases and the display panel 11 gradually bends from a flat surface to a curved surface. Therefore, the user may have an immersive viewing experience. Or, in the horizontal screen state, the monitor 1 may rotate relative to the support structure 2 through the rotating shaft structure 4, such that the angle between the display panel 11 and the carrier surface gradually decreases, and the display panel 11 gradually flattens from a curved surface to a flat surface. The user may perform operations such as painting and file processing. When the display panel 11 is a curved surface, it may be basically perpendicular to the carrier surface for user viewing. When the display panel 11 is a curved surface, the angle between it and the carrier surface may be an acute angle or basically parallel to the carrier surface, such that the user may perform operations such as painting or file processing.
In different structural forms, the curvature of the monitor 1 may be different. The display panel 11 may be bent or flattened under the drive of the two first plate 131, and may present different curvatures including a planar state and curved states with different curvatures.
The monitor 1 may rotate relative to the support structure 2 through the rotating shaft structure 4, such that the relative position relationship between the two changes. When the monitor 1 rotates relative to the support structure 2 through the rotating shaft structure 4, the rotating shaft structure 4 may drive the drive component 3, such that the drive component 3 drives the two fourth plates 142 to rotate relative to the third plate 141. The display panel 11 is bent or flattened with the rotation of the two fourth plates 142, such that the monitor 1 has a different structural form. For example, the electronic apparatus may be placed on the carrier surface through the support structure 2, and the monitor 1 in the horizontal screen state may be rotated relative to the support structure 2 through the rotating shaft structure 4. The angle between the display panel 11 and the carrier surface may gradually decrease. The display panel 11 may be flattened to a plane driven by the two first back plates 13. Therefore, the display panel 11 may be flattened to a plane with a curvature of 0. When the display panel 11 is a plane, the angle between the display panel 11 and the carrier surface may be 0° or an appropriate acute angle to facilitate user operation. For example, when the display panel 11 is a plane, the angle between the display panel 11 and the carrier surface may be 0° to 60°, such as 45°, 30°, 15°, etc.

In one embodiment, a fiber layer may be further provided on the back side of the back shell 12 facing away from the display panel 11. The fiber layer may protect the back shell 12. In one exemplary embodiment, the fiber layer may be a carbon fiber layer.
In one embodiment, the monitor 1 may further include a backlight control panel for controlling display parameters of the display panel 11. The backlight control panel may be disposed in the main body of the back shell 12 or the back plate 13 of the monitor 1.
In one embodiment, the monitor 1 may further include a touch control panel for controlling touch parameters of the display panel 11. The touch control panel may be disposed in the support structure 2.
The touch control panel may control the touch function of the display panel 11 to be turned on in all structural forms. The touch control panel may also control the touch function of the display panel 11 to be turned on in some structural forms and turned off in some structural forms. In one exemplary embodiment, in a first structural form, the touch control panel may control the touch function of the display panel 11 to be turned off, and in a second structural form, the touch control panel may control the touch function of the display panel 11 to be turned on.
The touch control panel may control the display panel 11 to turn on the touch function in a specified area, which is a touch area. In one exemplary embodiment, the touch control panel may control the touch area to be located in the lower area of the display panel 11. A virtual keyplate may be displayed in the touch area to perform touch input through the virtual keyplate.
In one embodiment, the monitor 1 may further include a posture sensor, which is used to detect the structural posture of the monitor 1. The touch control panel may control the touch parameters of the display panel 11 according to the detection result of the posture sensor.
In one embodiment, when the posture sensor detects that the monitor 1 may be in the third structural form, the touch control panel may control the lower area of the display panel 11 to turn on the touch function to form a touch area at the lower part of the display panel 11. In the third structural form, the display panel 11 may be a curved surface and may be in a vertical screen form. The lower part of the display panel 11 may be a touch area, and the upper part may be a display area. The touch area may have a virtual keyplate to input by operating the virtual keyplate, and the upper area may be used to display data. In the third structural form, the monitor 1 may be used as a laptop.
In one embodiment, when the angle between the monitor 1 and the support structure 2 is in a first angle range, the monitor 1 may be in the first structural form. In one exemplary embodiment, the first angle range may be larger than or equal to 160°. The first structural form may be a curved surface form. When the monitor 1 is basically vertically set, the curvature of the display panel 11 may be the largest, which may provide an immersive viewing experience for the user.
When the angle between the monitor 1 and the support structure 2 is in a second angle range, the monitor 1 may be in the second structural form. In one exemplary embodiment, the second angle range may be less than 160°, and the smaller the angle between the monitor 1 and the support structure 2, the smaller the curvature of the display panel 11, until it changes to a plane. When the display panel 11 is in a plane, it may be set substantially horizontally such that the user may perform operations such as drawing and file processing on the display panel 11. The display panel 11 may receive touch operations.
The curvature of the monitor 1 in the first structural form may be larger than the curvature in the second structural form. As the monitor 1 rotates relative to the support structure 2, when the monitor 1 changes from the first structural form to the second structural form, the curvature of the display panel 11 may gradually decrease until it changes to a plane. When the monitor 1 changes from the second structural form to the first structural form, the curvature of the display panel 11 may gradually increase until it reaches the maximum design curvature.
In one embodiment, when the angle between the monitor 1 and the support structure 2 changes from the first angle range to the second angle range, the drive component 3 may drive the monitor 1 to switch from the first structural form to the second structural form. The curvature in the first structural form may be larger than the curvature in the second structural form. As the monitor 1 rotates relative to the support structure 2, when the monitor 1 switches from the first structural form to the second structural form, the curvature of the display panel 11 may gradually decrease until it changes to a plane. In one embodiment, when the angle between the monitor 1 and the support structure 2 changes from the second angle range to the first angle range, the drive component 3 may drive the monitor 1 to switch from the second structural form to the first structural form. The curvature in the first structural form may be larger than the curvature in the second structural form. As the monitor 1 rotates relative to the support structure 2, when the monitor 1 switches from the second structural form to the first structural form, the curvature of the display panel 11 may gradually increase until it reaches the maximum design curvature.
