In addition, although any of the embodiments described in the following description discloses multiple technical features at the same time, it does not mean that all the technical features in any of the embodiments must be implemented simultaneously.

1A to 1F are schematic perspective views of a portable electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIGS. 1A to 1D first. In this embodiment, the portable electronic device 100 includes a main body 110 , a camera module 120 and a transmission mechanism 130 . The portable electronic device 100 of this embodiment is, for example, a smart phone or a tablet computer. In addition, the body 110 has an accommodating groove 111 . The accommodating groove 111 is disposed in the main body 110 and is exposed on the surface of the main body 110 . The camera module 120 is disposed in the accommodating slot 111 , and the camera module 120 has a wide-angle lens 122 . In this embodiment, the wide-angle lens 122 is, for example, an ultra-wide-angle lens or a fisheye lens. Furthermore, the transfer mechanism 130 is disposed between the camera module 122 and the accommodating slot 111 . Please refer to FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C , the camera module 120 can be moved between the first position P1 and the second position P2 in the accommodating slot 111 by the transmission mechanism 130 .

As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B , when the camera module 120 is located at the first position P1 , that is, the original position of the camera module 120 , the height of the upper surface 122 a of the wide-angle lens 122 of the camera module 120 in the lens direction is lower than or equal to the body 110 surface. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1B and 1C , the upper surface 122 a of the wide-angle lens 122 is an arc surface, and when the camera module 120 moves to the second position P2 , the upper surface 122 a of the wide-angle lens 122 is higher than the surface of the body 110 , so that the camera module The wide-angle lens 122 of the 120 is protruded and exposed to the surface of the body 110 .

For example, the body 110 of the portable electronic device 100 may have opposite front surfaces 122 , back surfaces 114 , and side surfaces 113 that are perpendicular and connect the front surfaces 112 and the back surfaces 114 . In this embodiment, the front surface 112 of the body can be configured with display or touch components such as a display panel or a touch display panel. In addition, the accommodating groove 111 is, for example, a through groove, which penetrates through the front surface 112 and the back surface 114 of the main body 110 along the thickness direction parallel to the main body 110 . In addition, the accommodating groove 111 has an opening on the side surface 113 of the body 110 to expose the camera module 120 .

As shown in FIG. 1A , the lens direction of the wide-angle lens 122 of the camera module 120 is, for example, the direction toward the back surface 114 of the main body 110 , so as to capture an image in front of the user. However, in another not shown embodiment, the lens direction of the wide-angle lens 122 can also be directed toward the front 112 of the main body 110 , so that the user can take a selfie or shoot the image behind the user with the wide-angle lens 122 .
