The specific implementation modes of the present invention will be described in details below in combination with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that, the described specific implementation modes herein are merely used for describing and understanding the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention.
As one aspect of the present invention, as shown in
It should be understood that, the content that “an angle α ‘can’ be formed between the display surface of the main display screen 100 and the display surface of the auxiliary display screen 200” herein means that: when the smart watch is in a worn state (that is, the smart watch is worn by a user), an angle α is formed between the main display screen 100 and the auxiliary display screen 200. In order to increase the comfort degree of the user, preferably, when the smart watch is in a worn state, the angle α is an obtuse angle. When the smart watch is in a non-worn state, an angle α may or may not exist between the main display screen 100 and the auxiliary display screen 200.
It should be also understood that, the definition of the “angle α between the display surface of the main display screen 100 and the display surface of the auxiliary display screen 200” is that: when the display surfaces of the main display screen and the auxiliary display screen are both planar, the angle α between the display surface of the main display screen and the display surface of the auxiliary display screen is an angle between the display surface of the main display screen and the display surface of the auxiliary display screen; when the display surfaces of the main display screen and the auxiliary display screen are curved, the angle α between the display surface of the main display screen and the display surface of the auxiliary display screen is an included angle between a tangent plane of the main display screen at the middle position of its length in the peripheral direction of the smart watch and a tangent plane of the auxiliary display screen at the middle position of its length in the peripheral direction (i.e., direction of around the wrist W) of the smart watch; and when one of the display surfaces of the main display screen and the auxiliary display screen is curved, and the other one is planar, the angle α between the display surface of the main display screen and the display surface of the auxiliary display screen is an angle between a tangent plane of the curved surface at the middle position of its length in the peripheral direction (i.e., direction of around the wrist W) of the smart watch and the planar surface.
In an existing smart watch, an operation interface and time of the smart watch are displayed in the same screen, such that after the smart watch is worn by the user, the display screens are located on the surface of the palm side or the surface of the hand back side of the wrist part, and the wrist part usually needs to be turned when the user needs to look at the time. As shown in
In addition, since the main display screen 100 and the auxiliary display screen 200 are both rigid, during the process of wearing the smart watch by the user, the main display screen 100 and the auxiliary display screen 200 are not inclined to deform. Therefore, the main pixel unit used for displaying the operation interface can be firmly and reliably arranged in the main display screen 100, and in the same way, the auxiliary pixel unit used for displaying the time can be firmly and reliably arranged in the auxiliary display screen 200. Since the connection display part 300 is flexible, the angle between the main display screen 100 and the auxiliary display screen 200 may not be fixed, thus increasing the comfort degree when the user wears the smart watch. In addition, by configuring the connection display part 300 to be flexible, separation between the main display screen 100 and the auxiliary display screen 200 may also be effectively prevented when the smart watch falls off.
As the processes of forming the connection display part 300 which will be described later, since the connection display part 300 is a ridge formed by folding the main display screen 100 with respect to the auxiliary display screen 200, the connection display part 300 is shown as a “linear” region which almost do not occupy any area in its peripheral direction, in
The present invention provides a smart watch convenient for a user to read time, which provides a new choice for users and meets the demand of market diversification.
In the present invention, the main display screen 100 may be used for displaying the interface of an operation system, and many functions may be realized through the operation system. For example, the main display screen 100 may display videos, pictures, the interfaces of making and receiving phone calls, the interfaces of sending text messages, the interfaces of various applications, and the like.
Of course, on top of displaying time, the auxiliary display screen 200 may also display other contents. For example, when the smart watch is provided with a communication function, if the smart watch is receiving a phone call, then a call number may be displayed on the main display screen 100 and the auxiliary display screen 200 simultaneously; or, if the smart watch receives a text message, then a phone number where the text message is from may be displayed on the main display screen 100 and the auxiliary display screen 200 simultaneously, and the contents of the text message may be displayed on the auxiliary display screen 200 in a scrolling manner. The operator may see the phone number of the call or the text message only by lifting the wrist part W without turning the wrist. If the operator decides to answer the phone call or read the complete text message, he/she might turn the wrist part and operate the main display screen 100 on the surface of the hand back side of the wrist part W.
In order to facilitate the operation, the main display screen 100 may be provided with a touch-control function. Of course, the auxiliary display screen 200 may also be provided with a touch-control function. The main display screen 100 and the auxiliary display screen 200 may be liquid crystal screens, or OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display screens or quantum dot light-emitting display screens.
As shown in
In the present invention, there are no specific limits to the specific structure of the main body part. For example, in order to facilitate manufacturing the main body part of the smart watch, preferably, as shown in
The main rigid substrate 110 and the auxiliary rigid substrate 210 are mainly used for providing a rigid support for the main body part 100 and the auxiliary display screen 200, respectively.
Further preferably, the connection flexible underlayer A, the connection flexible underlayer 120 and the auxiliary flexible underlayer 220 may be integrally formed. The advantage of integrally forming the connection flexible underlayer A, the connection flexible underlayer 120 and the auxiliary flexible underlayer 220 is introduced in details below.
In order to realize display, the main display screen 100 comprises a main array substrate, and the auxiliary display screen 200 comprises an auxiliary array substrate. Correspondingly, the main array substrate may comprise a main flexible underlayer 120 and a main pixel unit formed on the main flexible underlayer 120, and the main pixel unit comprises a plurality of main display pixels; and the auxiliary array substrate may comprise an auxiliary flexible underlayer 220 and an auxiliary pixel unit formed on the main flexible underlayer 220, and the auxiliary pixel unit may comprise a plurality of auxiliary display pixels. When the main flexible underlayer 120 and the auxiliary flexible underlayer 220 are integrally formed, the main flexible underlayer 120 and the auxiliary flexible underlayer 220 may be made from high-density polyimide (PI).
In order to ensure more continuous display between the main display screen 100 and the auxiliary display screen 200, preferably, a connection pixel unit used for electrically connecting the main pixel unit and the auxiliary pixel unit may be arranged on the top surface of the connection flexible underlayer, and the connection pixel unit comprises a plurality of connection display pixels. In order to simplify the process, the main pixel unit, the auxiliary pixel unit and the connection pixel unit may be manufactured simultaneously.
The other advantages brought by arranging the main rigid substrate 110 and the auxiliary rigid substrate 210 can be seen from
In the present invention, there are no special limits to the dimensions and shapes of the main display pixels, the auxiliary display pixels and the connection display pixels. In order to realize colour display, the main display pixels may comprise red sub-pixels R, green sub-pixels G and blue sub-pixels B, and so do the auxiliary display pixels and the connection display pixels.
For example, as shown in

Specifically, in the case shown in
As shown in
Since the connection display part 300 is almost not used for displaying high-resolution graphics, as shown in
When the main display screen 100 is a liquid crystal screen, the main display pixels in the main pixel unit 1 may comprise a pixel unit encircled by the grid line and the data line of the liquid crystal display screen, and a thin film transistor, a pixel electrode, a common electrode and the like which are arranged in the pixel unit, so as to control liquid crystal molecules to rotate; and when the main display screen 100 is an OLED display screen, the main display pixels in the main pixel unit 1 may comprise a light-emitting element.
Similarly, when the auxiliary display screen 200 is a liquid crystal screen, the auxiliary display pixels in the auxiliary pixel unit 3 may comprise a pixel unit encircled by the grid line and the data line of the liquid crystal display screen, and a thin film transistor, a pixel electrode, a common electrode and the like which are arranged in the pixel unit, so as to control liquid crystal molecules to rotate; and when the auxiliary display screen 200 is an OLED display screen, the auxiliary display pixels in the auxiliary pixel unit 3 may comprise a light-emitting element.
Also similarly, when the connection display part 300 is a liquid crystal screen, the connection display pixels in the connection pixel unit 2 may comprise a pixel unit encircled by the grid line and the data line of the liquid crystal display screen, and a thin film transistor, a pixel electrode, a common electrode and the like which are arranged in the pixel unit, so as to control liquid crystal molecules to rotate; and when the connection display part 300 is an OLED display screen, the connection display pixels in the connection pixel unit 2 may comprise a light-emitting element.
It is easy to understand that, the main display screen 100 further comprises a main cell aligning substrate 130 formed with the main array substrate by virtue of cell aligning, the auxiliary display screen 200 further comprises an auxiliary cell aligning substrate 230 formed with the auxiliary array substrate by virtue of cell aligning, and the connection display part 300 further comprises a connection cell aligning substrate C formed with the connection array substrate by virtue of cell aligning. The main cell aligning substrate 130, the connection cell aligning substrate C and the auxiliary cell aligning substrate 230 may be integrally formed, and after the main pixel unit 1, the connection pixel unit 2 and the auxiliary pixel unit 3 are formed, the main display screen, the auxiliary display screen and the connection display part may be obtained through a one-step cell aligning process. Then the main display screen is rotated a certain angle relative to the auxiliary display screen, and then the relative positions of the main display screen and the auxiliary display screen are fixed.
In order to provide drive signals for the main display screen 100 and the auxiliary display screen 200, the smart watch may further comprise a drive circuit 400 used for providing signals for the main display screen and the auxiliary display screen. As a specific implementation mode of the present invention, the drive circuit 400 may be arranged at one end of the main display screen, such that the main display screen 100 is located between the drive circuit 400 and the connection display part 300. That is, the drive circuit 400 and the connection display part 300 are located at the opposite ends of the main display screen 100, respectively. By arranging the drive circuit 400 on the end part of the main display screen 100, it is benefited to realize a widescreen display of the main display screen 100.
In order to fix the relative angle between the main display screen 100 and the auxiliary display screen 200 and facilitate wearing, the smart watch comprises a protection shell coating the main body part, a first watch band 310 and a second watch band 320. The protection shell comprises a transparent part 610, a first connection part 620 and a second connection part 630. The transparent part 610 is arranged at the light-emitting side of the smart watch and covers the main display screen and the auxiliary display screen; the first connection part 620 is located at one end of the main display screen away from the auxiliary display screen, and connected with the first watch band 310; and the second connection part 630 is located at one end of the auxiliary display screen away from the main display screen, and connected with the second watch band 320.
The protection shell may fix the relative position between the main display screen 100 and the auxiliary display screen 200, that is, may guarantee that the angle α between the main display screen 100 and the auxiliary display screen 200 is an obtuse angle. The transparent part 610 is used for protecting the display surface of the main display screen 100 and the display surface of the auxiliary display screen 200, and free from influencing the display effects of the main display screen 100 and the auxiliary display screen 200. In the present invention, there are no special limits to the specific structures of the first watch band 310 and the second watch band 320, as long as the function of fixing the smart watch on the wrist part of the wearer may need to be exerted.
The protection shell may be configured to be transparent only at the transparent part 610, and the other parts may be configured to be various colours according to the hobby of the user.
It is easy to understand that, when the smart watch is arranged, the back surface of the smart watch (that is, the surface in contact with the wrist part of the wearer) may be configured to be a bent surface, such that when the smart watch is worn by the user, the back surface of the smart watch is fitted to the surface of the wrist part of the user, thus increasing the comfort degree of the smart watch. In the implementation mode that the smart watch comprises the protection shell, the surface of the protection shell in contact with the wrist part may be configured to be the surface matched with the surface of the wrist part in shape.
The smart watch according to the present invention may complete all the functions of a smart mobile phone. Therefore, as shown in
In order to improve the aesthetic property of the smart watch, preferably, the first watch band 310 and the second watch band 320 may be provided with the structures shown in
In order to save an installation space and increase the integration degree of the smart watch, the drive circuit 400 may be arranged on the first connection part 620.
The first watch band 310 may comprise an installation part 310a and a first buckling part 310b, one end of the installation part 310a is connected with the first connection part 620, and the other end of the installation part 310a is connected with the first buckling part 310b. The smart watch further comprises a power supply unit 500. The power supply unit 500 is arranged on the installation part 310a of the first watch band 310 and electrically connected with the drive circuit 400. An angle between the first buckling part 310b and the installation part 310a is adjustable.
The advantage of arranging the power supply unit 500 in the first watch band 310 lies in that the area of the power supply unit 500 in contact with the skin of the wearer can be reduced, therefore, the transfer of the heat generated by the power supply unit 500 to the wearer may be reduced, and the transfer of the own heat of the wearer to the power supply unit 500 may also be reduced. The advantage of configuring the angle between the first buckling part 310b and the installation part 310a to be adjustable lies in that the angle between the first buckling part 310b and the installation part 310a may be adjusted according to the thickness of the wrist part of the wearer, such that the smart watch is firmly worn on the wrist part of the wearer.
Correspondingly, the second watch band 320 comprises a second buckling part, the second buckling part is connected with the second connection part 630, and an angle between the second buckling part and the second connection part is adjustable.

The smart watch further comprises a second connection shaft, which penetrates through the third hole and the fourth hole to connect the third bulged part with the fourth bulged part.
The angle between the first buckling part 310b and the installation part 310a may be adjusted through many ways. For example, the smart watch may comprise a rigid fixed button, one end of the fixed button is arranged on the first buckling part 310b, and the other end of the fixed button is detachably arranged on the installation part 310a. After the angle between the first buckling part 310b and the installation part 310a is adjusted, the other end of the fixed button is fixed on the installation part 310a, thus preventing any one of the first buckling part 310b and the installation part 310a from continuing to rotate around the first connection shaft 800.
As a preferred implementation mode of the present invention, as shown in
When the first fixation hole part 312a and the second fixation hole part 312b are both centrosymmetric regular n-sided shapes, if the first buckling part 310b is rotated to enable the second fixation hole part 312b to round 360°/n around its own axis, then the second fixation hole part 312b and the first fixation hole part 312a are still completely aligned at this moment.
