1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to electronic devices, and particularly to an electronic device with a display.
2. Description of Related Art
An electronic device with a display, such as a notebook computer, may comprise additional components to protect the display from external impact. However, in assembly, the additional components need to be secured to the display individually, which increases a cost of assembly. Therefore, there is room for improvement in the art.
Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean “at least one.”
The cover 21 is installed in the installation frame 27. In the illustrated embodiment, the installation frame 27 is substantially rectangular and cooperatively formed by four installation strips 271. The installation frame 27 defines a receiving slot 270. A thickness of the cover 21 is smaller than a thickness of each installation strip 271.
In the illustrated embodiment, the outer frame 231 is substantially rectangular and is secured to the installation frame 27. A camera module 237 is secured to the outer frame 231.
In the illustrated embodiment, the first protection member 232 is substantially rectangular and is received in the outer frame 231. When the first protection member 232 is received in the outer frame 231, the first protection member 232 protrudes from a first side of the outer frame 231.
The second protection member 233 is also received in the outer frame 231. The second protection member 233 comprises a flange 2331 protruding around a peripheral edge thereof, and a plurality of supporting strips 2332. When the second protection member 233 is received in the outer frame 231, the flange 2331 abuts inner surfaces of the outer frame 231. The supporting strips 2332 extend substantially perpendicularly from a bottom edge of the flange 2331. A height of the flange 2331 is greater than a height of the outer frame 231, so that the flanges 2331 protrude from a second side of the outer frame 231 opposite to the first side of the outer frame 231. The second protection member 233 defines a receiving space 236 bound by the flange 2331.
In one embodiment, the outer frame 231 is made of plastic, and the first protection member 232 and the second protection member 233 are made of flexible glue. In one embodiment, the outer frame 231 is integrally formed with the first protection member 232 and the second protection member 233 by double-shot molding.
It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages have been set forth in the foregoing description of embodiments, together with details of the structures and functions of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only and changes may be made in detail, especially in the matters of shape, size, and the arrangement of parts within the principles of the disclosure, to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
