Patent Application
20160109903
The subject matter herein generally relates to an electronic device with display panel.
An electronic device, such as a notebook, generally includes a rear cover, a mounting frame secured to the rear cover, and a display panel adhered to the rear cover and secured to the mounting frame by screws threaded into holes defined in the mounting frame and the display panel.
Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts have been exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape or other word that substantially modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, substantially cylindrical means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising,” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series and the like.
The rear cover 50 includes a covering plate 51, four side plates 52 substantially perpendicularly coupled to edges of the covering plate 51, and a plurality of resilient members 53. The covering plate 51 and the side plates 52 can fully cover the display panel 10. Each resilient member 53 is located between the covering plate 51 and the display panel 10. Two mounting pieces 521 extend from each of opposite two of the side plates 52. Each mounting piece 521 defines a through hole 525. The fastener 25 can be inserted through the through hole 525 and the mounting hole 311 to secure the mounting frame 20 to the rear cover 50. The resilient members 53 are elastically deformable at different height according to a thickness of the display panel 10.
The latching member 60 includes a first flange 61, a second flange 62, and a coupling piece 63. The first flange 61 and the second flange 62 extend from opposite edges of the coupling piece 63 in opposite directions. In at least one embodiment, each of the first flange 61 and the second flange 62 is substantially perpendicular to the coupling piece 63. The second flange 62 defines a cutout 621 and two positioning holes 622. The coupling piece 63 defines two latching holes 631.
Referring to
The display panel 10 is moved in the mounting frame 20, edges of the display panel 10 abut the first flange 61. The resilient members 53 are placed on the display panel 10, the rear cover 50 is placed on the display panel 10, and the resilient members 53 are located between the display panel 10 and the rear cover 50, the mounting pieces 521 abut the second flange 62. The through hole 525 is aligned with the mounting hole 311. The fastener 25 is inserted into the mounting hole 311 through the through hole 525 to secured the rear cover 50 to the outer frame 30. The resilient members 53 are elastically deformed by the covering plate 51 and exert elastic force to engage the display panel 10 to the mounting frame 20.
The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of an electronic device with display panel. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the detail, including in matters of shape, size and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure up to, and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
