FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
The present disclosure relates to an electronic device and an image display thereof, and more particularly to a portable electronic device and a full-screen image display thereof.
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
A conventional portable electronic device includes a display module and a camera module. However, since the display module and the camera module are respectively arranged on two different regions of a PCB, a display region provided by the display module is unavoidably reduced to allow for the camera module to be arranged on a camera region.
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
In response to the above-referenced technical inadequacies, the present disclosure provides a portable electronic device and a full-screen image display thereof.
In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a full-screen image display, including a first display module for providing a first image, and a second display module for providing a second image. The first display module and the second display module are adjacent or connected to each other, and the first image and the second image are combined to form a continuous image. The second display module includes a circuit substrate, an image display unit, a light-sensing unit, a light-projecting unit, an image-capturing unit and an audio signal transmitting unit, and the image display unit, the light-sensing unit, the light-projecting unit, the image-capturing unit and the audio signal transmitting unit are disposed on the circuit substrate. The image display unit includes a plurality of LED chips disposed on the circuit substrate, and the second image is provided by the LED chips.
In another aspect, the present disclosure provides a full-screen image display, including a first display module and a second display module. The first display module is an organic LED display, a liquid crystal display or an LED display for providing a first image, and the second display module is an LED display for providing a second image. The first display module and the second display module are adjacent or connected to each other, and the first image and the second image are combined to form a continuous image. The second display module includes a circuit substrate, an image display unit disposed on the circuit substrate, and a plurality of electronic units disposed on the circuit substrate. The image display unit includes a plurality of LED chips disposed on the circuit substrate, and the second image is provided by the LED chips.
In yet another aspect, the present disclosure provides a portable electronic device comprising a frame structure and a full-screen image display surrounded by the frame structure. The full-screen image display includes a first display module and a second display module. The first display module is an organic LED display, a liquid crystal display or an LED display for providing a first image. The second display module is an LED display for providing a second image. The first display module and the second display module are adjacent or connected to each other, and the first image and the second image are combined to form a continuous image. The second display module includes a circuit substrate, an image display unit disposed on the circuit substrate, and a plurality of electronic units disposed on the circuit substrate. The image display unit includes a plurality of LED chips disposed on the circuit substrate, and the second image is provided by the LED chips.
Therefore, by virtue of “a first display module for providing a first image, and a second display module for providing a second image”, “the first display module and the second display module being adjacent or connected to each other, and the first image and the second image being combined to form a continuous image”, “the second display module including a circuit substrate, an image display unit disposed on the circuit substrate, and a plurality of electronic units disposed on the circuit substrate” and “the image display unit including a plurality of LED chips disposed on the circuit substrate, and the second image being provided by the LED chips”, the electronic units can be arranged on an image display region that is occupied by the image display unit.

First Embodiment
Referring to FIG. 1, a first embodiment of the present disclosure provides a portable electronic device Z including a frame structure C and a full-screen image display D surrounded by the frame structure C, and the full-screen image display D includes a first display module 1 for providing a first image, and a second display module 2 for providing a second image. In addition, the first display module 1 and the second display module 2 can be adjacent or connected to each other, so that the first image generated by the first display module 1 and the second image generated by the second display module 2 can be combined to form a continuous image.
For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the frame structure C has a left side CL, a right side CR, a top side CT and a bottom side CB, the first display module 1 has a left side 1L, a right side 1R, a top side 1T and a bottom side 1B, and the second display module 2 has a left side 2L, a right side 2R, a top side 2T and a bottom side 2B. In addition, the left side 1L of the first display module 1 is close or very close to the left side CL of the frame structure C, so that no exposed electronic element (such as image capturers, or sensors, etc.) is disposed between the left side 1L of the first display module 1 and the left side CL of the frame structure C (that is to say, there is an unoccupied region between the left side 1L of the first display module 1 and the left side CL of the frame structure C). The right side 1R of the first display module 1 is close or very close to the right side CR of the frame structure C, so that no exposed electronic element (such as an unoccupied region) is disposed between the right side 1R of the first display module 1 and the right side CR of the frame structure C. The bottom side 1B of the first display module 1 is close or very close to the bottom side CB of the frame structure C, so that no exposed electronic element (such as an unoccupied region) is disposed between the bottom side 1B of the first display module 1 and the bottom side CB of the frame structure C. Moreover, the left side 2L of the second display module 2 is close or very close to the left side CL of the frame structure C, so that no exposed electronic element (such as an unoccupied region) is disposed between the left side 2L of the second display module 2 and the left side CL of the frame structure C. The right side 2R of the second display module 2 is close or very close to the right side CR of the frame structure C, so that no exposed electronic element (such as an unoccupied region) is disposed between the right side 2R of the second display module 2 and the right side CR of the frame structure C. The bottom side 2T of the second display module 2 is close or very close to the bottom side CT of the frame structure C, so that no exposed electronic element (such as an unoccupied region) is disposed between the bottom side 2T of the second display module 2 and the bottom side CT of the frame structure C. It should be noted that the top side 1T of the first display module 1 and the bottom side 2B of the second display module 2 can be adjacent or connected to each other. However, the aforementioned description of the first embodiment is merely an example and is not meant to limit the scope of the present disclosure.
For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the portable electronic device Z includes a surrounding light-shading layer B that is a continuous shape without any through hole. The first display module 1 and the second display module 2 can be surrounded by the surrounding light-shading layer B, and the surrounding light-shading layer B can be surrounded by the frame structure C. Therefore, a first region connected between the first display module 1 and the frame structure C can be shaded by the surrounding light-shading layer B, so that no exposed electronic element (such as image capturers, or sensors, etc.) is disposed on the first region connected between the first display module 1 and the frame structure C. In addition, a second region connected between the second display module 2 and the frame structure C can be shaded by the surrounding light-shading layer B, so that no exposed electronic element (such as image capturers, or sensors, etc.) is disposed on the second region connected between the second display module 2 and the frame structure C. However, the aforementioned description of the first embodiment is merely an example and is not meant to limit the scope of the present disclosure.
