1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to an electronic device, and especially relates to an electronic device with removable display screen.
2. Description of Related Art
Nowadays, many electronic devices have display screens to illustrate information, such as smart phones and panel computers. In development, display screens used in the electronic devices has a high resolution. However, the display screens with a high resolution will consume more power and reduce battery endurance of the electronic device.
What is needed, therefore, is an electronic device which can overcome the above-described problems.
Many aspects of the present 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 present embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

The size and shape of the receiving chamber 14 is corresponding to that of the display screen 20, thereby making the display screen 20 being firmly received in the receiving chamber 14. The receiving chamber 14 is located at a middle portion of the frame 10 and does not extend out of edges of the upper surface 11. In alternative embodiments, the receiving chamber 14 can also extend out of the edges of the upper surface 10. The receiving chamber 14 includes a first assembling portion 141, a slot 142 and a first data connecting portion 143. The first assembling portion 141 and the slot 142 are configured to mechanically connect with the display screen 20. The first data connecting portion 143 are configured to electrically connect and exchange data with the display screen 20. In this embodiment, the receiving chamber 14 includes two first assembling portions 141 and two slots 142. The first assembling portions 141 are located at one end of the receiving chamber 14 away from the button 110. The two slots 142 are located at the other end of the receiving chamber 14 adjacent to the button 110. The two slots 142 are concaved towards the button 110. The first data connecting portion 143 is located at the end of the receiving chamber 14 adjacent to the button 110.
The display screen 20 is an LCD (liquid crystal display) panel. The display screen 20 includes a display surface 21, a rear surface 22 and a side surface 23. The display surface 21 is configured to display information. Preferably, only part of the display surface 21 is used to display information. Edges of the display surface 21 are configured for connecting with the frame 10 and do not display information. When the receiving chamber 14 extends out of the edges of the upper surface 11, the corresponding edge of the display surface 21 will not display information. Furthermore, the display surface 21 can act as a touch panel. Preferably, when the display screen 20 is received in the receiving chamber 14, the display surface 21 is coplanar with the upper surface 11 of the frame 10. Referring also to

Since the display screen 20 is removable from the frame 10, the display screen 20 can be replaced by another different display screen 20. At that time, the electronic device 100 can includes two or more display screens 20. For example, one display screen 20 has a resolution of 540*960, and the other display screen 20 has a resolution of 320*640. When users need a high resolution, the display screen with the resolution of 540*960 is assembled to the receiving chamber 14 of the frame 10. When the users need a relatively low resolution to reduce power consumption, a display screen with the resolution of 320*640 is assembled to the receiving chamber 14 of the frame 10.
Before the display screen 20 is assembled to the frame 10, the frame 10 is in a standby node. When the display screen 20 is assembled to the frame 10, the frame 10 will determine the kind of the display screen 20 and start corresponding software to drive the display screen 20.
