The present disclosure relates to the field of communication devices technologies, and in particular, to a screen assembly of an electronic device, and an electronic device.
Smart phones have ushered in the complete explosion of “full screen” in recent years, allowing many new products to gain a greater vision while maintaining the same size. “Bangs-notched Screen” and “Water-drop-notched Screen” have become the main theme in the field of smartphones, making the “screen-to-body ratio” parameter the battlefield for future new product competitions. After “Bangs-notched Screen”, “Hole-notched Screen” will become one of the more widespread full-screen solutions.
The “Hole-notched Screen” is to define a through hole or blind hole on the screen, compared with the “Bangs-notched Screen”, defining a hole on the screen is more conducive to increase the screen display area, i.e., the “screen-to-body ratio”, to provide a more stunning display effect. However, the existence of the hole leads to lack of display at the hole. Especially when the hole is large, the display effect of the screen is adversely affected.
The present disclosure provides a screen assembly of an electronic device, comprising: a camera; a display assembly, comprising a cover, an optical adhesive layer, a polarizer, an upper glass, a lower glass, and a foam layer stacked in order from a top to a bottom; wherein the polarizer defines a first light through hole, and the foam layer defines a second light through hole, the first light through hole facing the second light through hole; the camera is arranged under the display assembly; and a circular wiring area, arranged on an upper surface of the upper glass and comprising an inner ring edge and an outer ring edge; wherein an inner wall of the first light through hole is arranged at a radially outer side of the inner ring edge; wherein light is suitable for passing from the cover, the optical adhesive layer, the first light through hole, an inner ring area defined by the inner ring edge, the upper glass, the lower glass, and the second light through hole, and being transmitted to the camera.
The present disclosure further provides an electronic device, comprising: a housing; a camera; a display assembly, embedded in the housing and comprising a cover, an optical adhesive layer, a polarizer, an upper glass, a lower glass, and a foam layer stacked in order from a top to a bottom; wherein the polarizer defines a first light through hole, and the foam layer defines a second light through hole, the first light through hole facing the second light through hole; the camera is arranged in the housing and under the display assembly; and a circular wiring area, arranged on an upper surface of the upper glass and comprising an inner ring edge and an outer ring edge; wherein an inner wall of the first light through hole is arranged at a radially outer side of the inner ring edge; wherein light is suitable for passing from the cover, the optical adhesive layer, the first light through hole, an inner ring area defined by the inner ring edge, the upper glass, the lower glass, and the second light through hole, and being transmitted to the camera.
The above and/or additional aspects and advantages of the present disclosure will become obvious and easy to understand from the description of the embodiments in conjunction with the following drawings.

The following describes the screen assembly 102 of the electronic device and the electronic device 100 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to
As shown in
Specifically, as shown in
When the camera 110 is taking a photo, light may enter the light inlet 111 of the camera 110 through the first light through hole 1221 and the second light through hole 1251, and the camera 110 may perform imaging according to light information. As shown in
It should be noted that the display assembly 120 may be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display screen. The OLED display screen may include the cover 121, the optical adhesive layer 1211, the polarizer 122, the upper glass 123, the lower glass 124, and the foam layer 125. The cover 121 may be a glass cover and configured to protect components under the cover 121. The OLED display screen has a wiring area inside, and metal wires in the wiring area may supply power to the OLED display screen to perform a display function. In order to facilitate the setting of the camera 110, the wiring area may be arranged in a ring structure, that is, the wiring area of the OLED display screen may include a circular wiring area 130. In addition, it should be noted that, the display assembly 120 has an area 103 facing the camera 110 and not displaying images, the circular wiring area 130 is an opaque area, and the circular wiring area 130 may surround an outer periphery of the area 103.

As shown in
In the screen assembly 102 of the electronic device of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the inner wall of the first light through hole 1221 is arranged on the radially outer side of the inner ring edge 131 of the circular wiring area 130. With the first light through hole 1221 and the second light through hole 1251, a blind hole structure is formed at the position where the display assembly 120 is facing the camera 110. The inner wall of the first light through hole 1221 is arranged on the radially outer side of the inner ring edge 131, which can expose a partial structure of the circular wiring area to form a silver edge area 141. The design of the silver edge area 141 can take advantage of visual differences to reduce the area 103 on the display assembly 120 facing the camera 110 and not displaying images, thereby improving the display effect of the screen assembly 102.
In order to further improve the display effect of the screen assembly 102, as shown in
