Please refer to Figures 1 and 2 together. An embodiment of the present application provides a mobile terminal 100. The mobile terminal 100 includes a support assembly 1, a display screen 2 and a movable seat 3. The display screen 2 is fixed to the support assembly 1. The support assembly 1 includes a first shell 11, a second shell 12 and a bending member 13. The bending member 13 is connected between the first shell 11 and the second shell 12. The bending member 13 can be unfolded or bent to flatten or fold the support assembly 1. Among them, the bending member 13 can be implemented in a variety of ways, such as an elastic plate structure, a hinge structure, a rotating shaft connection structure, etc.

In the present application, when the support assembly 1 is in a flattened state, an angle of 120° to 180° is formed between the first shell 11 and the second shell 12. As shown in FIG2 , the present application is described by taking the example of an angle of 180° formed between the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 when the support assembly 1 is flattened. When the support assembly 1 is in a folded state, an angle of 0° to 15° is formed between the first shell 11 and the second shell 12. As shown in FIG1 , the present application is described by taking the example of an angle of 0° formed between the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 when the support assembly 1 is folded.

Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 together. The first shell 11 includes a first inner surface 111, a first outer surface 112 and a first side surface 113. The first outer surface 112 carries the display screen 2. The first inner surface 111 and the first outer surface 112 are arranged opposite to each other. The first side surface 113 is connected between the first inner surface 111 and the first outer surface 112. The first shell 11 is provided with a recessed area 114. The recessed area 114 is recessed from the first inner surface 111 to the direction of the first outer surface 112, and the recessed area 114 extends to the first side surface 113.

Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 together. The second shell 12 includes a second inner surface 121, a second outer surface 122 and a second side surface 123. The second outer surface 122 carries the display screen 2. The second inner surface 121 and the second outer surface 122 are arranged opposite to each other. The second side surface 123 is connected between the second inner surface 121 and the second outer surface 122. The orientation of the second side surface 123 is consistent with the orientation of the first side surface 113. The second shell 12 is provided with an avoidance area 124. The avoidance area 124 runs through the second inner surface 121 to the second outer surface 122, and extends to the second side surface 123.

Please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 together. When the support assembly 1 is folded, the second inner surface 121 is arranged opposite to the first inner surface 111, and the avoidance area 124 and the recessed area 114 are combined into the activity space 10. At this time, the first outer surface 112 and the second outer surface 122 are arranged opposite to each other. The first camera 41 is arranged in the movable seat 3, and the movable seat 3 is rotatably connected to the first shell 11 to carry the first camera 41 to rotate in or out of the activity space 10.

In this embodiment, when the support component 1 is flattened, the entire display screen 2 can be displayed, so that the mobile terminal 100 can achieve a large-screen display; when the support component 1 is folded, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are stacked, so that the length of the support component 1 is only about one-half of that when it is unfolded, and the mobile terminal 100 is easy to carry. Therefore, the mobile terminal 100 has a large display area and is easy to carry.

When the support assembly 1 is folded, the recessed area 114 and the avoidance area 124 are combined into the activity space 10, and the avoidance area 124 runs through the second inner surface 121 to the second outer surface 122, so the avoidance area 124 has a larger size in the thickness space of the mobile terminal 100, and the activity space 10 as a whole has a larger size in the thickness space of the mobile terminal 100, and the movable seat 3 can make full use of the thickness space of the mobile terminal 100, so that the thickness of the entire mobile terminal 100 is relatively thin, which is conducive to realizing the thinness of the mobile terminal 100. On the other hand, since the movable seat 3 can make full use of the thickness space of the mobile terminal 100, the movable seat 3 can have a larger thickness, thereby accommodating more thick devices, such as cameras, etc., so that more functional devices can be arranged in the movable seat 3 to make the mobile terminal 100 more functional. Furthermore, since the avoidance area 124 runs through the second inner surface 121 to the second outer surface 122, that is, the avoidance area 124 runs through the second shell 12, and the movable seat 3 is rotatably connected to the first shell 11, the movable seat 3 can utilize the space outside the mobile terminal 100 close to the avoidance area 124 for rotation without reserving more rotation space in the mobile terminal 100, so that the movable seat 3 can be set to a larger volume, thereby accommodating more functional devices to meet the user's multi-functional interaction needs.

In the present application, please refer to FIG. 2 , the display screen 2 includes a first display area 21, a second display area 22 and a third display area 23. The first display area 21 is overlapped with the first outer surface 112 of the first shell 11. The second display area 22 is overlapped with the second outer surface 122 of the second shell 12. The third display area 23 is connected between the first display area 21 and the second display area 22. The third display area 23 overlaps with the bending member 13. When the support assembly 1 is flattened or folded, the user can flexibly choose to display by any one or more of the first display area 21, the second display area 22 and the third display area 23 to meet the display requirements.

When the support assembly 1 is folded, the user can choose to display the part of the display screen 2 laid on the first outer surface 112, or to display the part of the display screen 2 laid on the second outer surface 122, so that the interaction mode of the mobile terminal 100 is more diversified and the user experience is better.

In the present application, the orientation of one surface is consistent with the orientation of another surface, which means that an angle between 135° and 225° is formed between the two surfaces. The implementation mode of the present application is described using an angle of 180° formed between the two surfaces as an example, that is, the solution in which the two surfaces are parallel is described as an example.

It is understandable that in the present application, when the support assembly 1 is unfolded, the recessed area 114 is separated from the avoidance area 124, and the activity space 10 is not formed. Since the movable seat 3 is rotatably connected to the first shell 11, when the support assembly 1 is unfolded, the movable seat 3 is separated from the second shell 12, and the second shell 12 does not block the movable seat 3, so the functional device provided in the movable seat 3 can interact with the user. When the support assembly 1 is folded, the recessed area 114 and the avoidance area 124 are combined to form the activity space 10. The implementation methods of the present application involving the movable seat 3 being rotated into or out of the activity space 10 all assume that the support assembly 1 is in a folded state, and the present application is mainly explained by this example.

In the present application, the movable seat 3 can rotate under the force of the user, or under the driving force of the driving component of the mobile terminal 100. That is, the user can manually rotate the movable seat 3, or the driving component can automatically rotate the movable seat 3. The driving component may include a motor and a gear set, etc.

In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 5 and 6 together, when the movable seat 3 is rotated into the movable space 10, the orientation of the image acquisition surface of the first camera 41 is consistent with the orientation of the second outer surface 122. External light enters the first camera 41 through the image acquisition surface of the first camera 41, so that the first camera 41 can capture images and complete shooting.

In this embodiment, since the avoidance area 124 passes through the second shell 12, the activity space 10 passes through the second shell 12, and when the movable seat 3 is rotated into the activity space 10, the side of the movable seat 3 that is in the same direction as the second outer surface 122 can be exposed outside the second shell 12. Therefore, when the movable seat 3 is rotated into the activity space 10 and the orientation of the image acquisition surface of the first camera 41 is consistent with the orientation of the second outer surface 122, the image acquisition surface of the first camera 41 can be exposed, the second shell 12 does not block the first camera 41, and the first camera 41 can shoot when the support assembly 1 is folded or unfolded, and the shooting methods are diversified, thereby improving the user experience.

It can be understood that "the image acquisition surface of the first camera 41 can be exposed" means that the image acquisition surface of the first camera 41 is not blocked by the components of the mobile terminal 100 that may cause light blocking (such as the display screen 2, etc.), so that shooting can be performed smoothly. Of course, the image acquisition surface of the first camera 41 is still allowed to be covered by a transparent lens or the like to achieve a protective function.

In one embodiment, please refer to FIGS. 5 to 7 together, the direction of the rotation centerline 30 of the movable seat 3 is parallel to the first outer surface 112. The movable seat 3 includes a shaft end 3a and a movable end 3b. The shaft end 3a and the movable end 3b are respectively two opposite ends of the movable seat 3. The shaft end 3a is rotatably connected to the first shell 11. The movable end 3b rotates around the shaft end 3a.

In the present application, the movable seat 3 can have a variety of rotation angles, for example, the movable seat 3 can be rotated about 180° relative to the first shell 11. At this time, the image acquisition surface of the first camera 41 can be rotated from the same direction as the second outer surface 122 to the same direction as the first outer surface 112, so that when the user does not switch the display area (for example, using the first display area 21 or the second display area 22 for display), the orientation of the image acquisition surface of the first camera 41 can be changed by rotating the movable seat 3, so that both front shooting (for example, self-portrait) and rear shooting (for example, mutual shooting) can be completed.

Alternatively, please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 7 together. The movable seat 3 can be rotated about 90° relative to the first shell 11. This application is explained by taking this as an example. At this time, the shaft end 3a is accommodated in the recessed area 114. When the movable seat 3 is rotated into the activity space 10, the movable end 3b is close to the second shell 12 to be accommodated in the avoidance area 124. When the movable seat 3 is rotated out of the activity space 10, the movable end 3b is away from the second shell 12 to escape from the avoidance area 124. The image acquisition surface of the first camera 41 can be rotated from the same direction as the second outer surface 122 to the same direction as the first side surface 113. When the image acquisition surface of the first camera 41 is in the same direction as the first side surface 113, it is displayed through the second display area 22, and the first shell 11 is made to carry the first camera 41 and rotate relative to the second shell 12, so that the image acquisition surface of the first camera 41 is rotated to the required angle and shoot, thereby improving the flexibility of shooting of the mobile terminal 100 and improving the user experience. Furthermore, during the rotation of the first shell 11 relative to the second shell 12, since the second shell 12 can remain stationary, the first shell 11 and the first camera 41 installed on the first shell 11 will not shake. When the first camera 41 is used to record a video or take a panoramic image or other shooting actions that require constantly changing the acquisition direction, the lens of the first camera 41 is stable and shakes little, and the mobile terminal 100 can obtain higher quality images, thereby improving the user experience.

In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 5 and 7 together, the movable seat 3 includes a first outer wall surface 31. The first outer wall surface 31 is located at the movable end 3b of the movable seat 3. When the movable seat 3 is rotated into the movable space 10, the first outer wall surface 31 is in the same orientation as the second outer surface 122. A through hole 310 is provided on the first outer wall surface 31. The image acquisition surface of the first camera 41 is opposite to the through hole 310. The projection of the image acquisition surface of the first camera 41 on the first outer wall surface 31 falls within the range of the through hole 310. Light enters the image acquisition surface of the first camera 41 through the through hole 310, and the first camera 41 acquires the image and completes the shooting.

In the present application, the first outer wall surface 31 is located at the movable end 3b. When the movable seat 3 rotates out of the movable space 10, the first outer wall surface 31 moves away from the second shell 12 to leave the avoidance area 124, and the first outer wall surface 31 is exposed. The first camera 41 can take pictures when the support assembly 1 is in any state (including flattening, folding and unfolding a certain angle).

In one embodiment, please refer to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 , the mobile terminal 100 further includes a secondary display screen 5 . The secondary display screen 5 is disposed on the first outer wall surface 31 . The secondary display screen 5 includes a light-transmitting area 51 , and the light-transmitting area 51 is disposed opposite to the through hole 310 .

In this embodiment, since the secondary display screen 5 is arranged on the first outer wall surface 31, when the movable seat 3 is rotated, the orientation of the first outer wall surface 31 is consistent with the orientation of the first outer surface 112, so the secondary display screen 5 can be spliced with the display screen 2 (the second display area 22), thereby increasing the display area, making the display area of the mobile terminal 100 larger and the screen-to-body ratio higher, thereby improving the user's viewing experience.

In the present application, the light-transmitting area 51 of the secondary display screen 5 can be implemented in a variety of ways, for example:

First implementation mode: Please refer to FIG. 8 and FIG. 10 together, the light-transmitting area 51 of the sub-display screen 5 is hollowed out. In other words, the sub-display screen 5 is provided with a through hole penetrating the sub-display screen 5, the through hole forming the light-transmitting area 51, and light can pass through the through hole to enter the first camera 41. The sub-display screen 5 does not display images in the light-transmitting area 51, and the sub-display screen 5 displays images in the peripheral area of the light-transmitting area 51.

Second embodiment: Please refer to FIG. 8 and FIG. 11 together. The light-transmitting area 51 of the sub-display screen 5 is provided with a plurality of light-transmitting holes 511 spaced apart from each other. The light-transmitting holes 511 penetrate the sub-display screen 5. Light can pass through the light-transmitting holes 511 and enter the first camera 41. The sub-display screen 5 does not display images in the light-transmitting holes 511, and the sub-display screen 5 displays images in the peripheral areas of the light-transmitting holes 511.

Since the light-transmitting area 51 is provided with a plurality of light-transmitting holes 511, the first camera 41 can capture images through the light-transmitting area 51, and the portion of the light-transmitting area 51 not provided with the light-transmitting holes 511 can still display images, so that the display area of the secondary display screen 5 is increased, and the screen-to-body ratio of the mobile terminal 100 is higher. The plurality of light-transmitting holes 511 are arranged in an array, so that the image quality captured by the first camera 41 is higher.

The third embodiment: Please refer to FIG. 8 and FIG. 12 together. The secondary display screen 5 includes a stacked cover plate 52 and a display module 53. The cover plate 52 is a transparent cover plate, and the cover plate 52 allows light to pass through. The display module 53 is located in a partially hollowed-out setting in the light-transmitting area 51. That is, the display module 53 is provided with a through hole 530 that penetrates the display module 53. The through hole 530 is located in the light-transmitting area 51, and light can pass through the through hole 530 to enter the first camera 41. The display module 53 does not display images in the light-transmitting area 51, and the display module 53 displays images in the peripheral area of the light-transmitting area 51.

In this embodiment, the light-transmitting area 51 allows all light to pass through, so that the image quality captured by the first camera 41 is higher. The cover plate 52 can not only protect the display module 53, but also prevent external dust and water vapor from entering the movable seat 3 through the through hole 310.

Fourth embodiment: Please refer to FIG. 8 and FIG. 13 together. The secondary display screen 5 includes a stacked cover plate 52 and a display module 53. The cover plate 52 is a transparent cover plate, and the cover plate 52 allows light to pass through. The display module 53 is provided with a plurality of hollow holes 531, and the plurality of hollow holes 531 are arranged in the light-transmitting area 51 at intervals from each other. The hollow holes 531 penetrate the display module 53. Light can pass through the hollow holes 531 to enter the first camera 41. The display module 53 does not display an image in the hollow holes 531, and the display module 53 displays an image in the peripheral area of the hollow holes 531.

Since the light-transmitting area 51 is provided with a plurality of hollow holes 531, the first camera 41 can capture images through the light-transmitting area 51, and the portion of the light-transmitting area 51 where the hollow holes 531 are not provided can still display images, so that the display area of the secondary display screen 5 is increased, and the screen-to-body ratio of the mobile terminal 100 is higher. The cover plate 52 can not only protect the display module 53, but also prevent external dust and water vapor from entering the interior of the movable seat 3 through the hollow holes 531. Among them, the plurality of hollow holes 531 are arranged in an array, so that the image quality captured by the first camera 41 is higher.

The fifth embodiment: Please refer to Figures 8 and 14 together. The secondary display screen 5 includes a stacked cover plate 54, a display layer 55 and a light shielding layer 56. The cover plate 54 is a transparent cover plate, and the cover plate 54 allows light to pass through. The display layer 55 is a transparent display layer. The display layer 55 can not only display, but also allow light to pass through. The light shielding layer 56 is located in a partially hollowed-out setting in the light-transmitting area 51. The light shielding layer 56 is used to block light and shield the devices inside the movable seat 3. The light shielding layer 56 is provided with a through hole 560 that penetrates the light shielding layer 56. The through hole 560 is located in the light-transmitting area 51, and light can pass through the through hole 560 to enter the first camera 41.

Since the light-transmitting area 51 is provided with a through hole 560, the first camera 41 can capture images through the light-transmitting area 51, and the light-transmitting area 51 can still display images, which can avoid reducing the display area of the secondary display screen 5, and the screen-to-body ratio of the mobile terminal 100 is higher.

Sixth embodiment: Please refer to FIG. 8 and FIG. 15 together. The secondary display screen 5 includes a stacked cover plate 54, a display layer 55 and a light shielding layer 56. The cover plate 54 is a transparent cover plate, and the cover plate 54 allows light to pass through. The display layer 55 is a transparent display layer. The display layer 55 can not only display, but also allow light to pass through. The light shielding layer 56 is used to block light and shield the components inside the movable seat 3. The light shielding layer 56 is provided with a plurality of penetration holes 561. The plurality of penetration holes 561 are arranged in the light-transmitting area 51 at intervals from each other. The penetration holes 561 penetrate the light shielding layer 56. Light can pass through the penetration holes 561 to enter the first camera 41.

Since the light-transmitting area 51 is provided with a plurality of the penetration holes 561, the first camera 41 can capture images through the light-transmitting area 51, and the light-transmitting area 51 can still display images, which can avoid reducing the display area of the secondary display screen 5, and the screen-to-body ratio of the mobile terminal 100 is higher. The area of the light-shielding layer 56 where the penetration holes 561 are not provided can still be used for light shielding to improve the appearance consistency of the mobile terminal 100. Among them, the plurality of penetration holes 561 are arranged in an array so that the image quality captured by the first camera 41 is higher.

In one embodiment, please refer to FIG. 8 , the display screen 2 includes a second display area 22. The second display area 22 is stacked on the second outer surface 122. When the movable seat 3 is rotated into the movable space 10, the secondary display screen 5 is flush with the second display area 22. In other words, the secondary display screen 5 and the second display area 22 are arranged roughly on the same plane. At this time, the secondary display screen 5 and the second display area 22 can be better spliced, so that the display effect is better.

In one embodiment, please refer to FIG. 5 , the display screen 2 includes a second display area 22. The second display area 22 is stacked on the second outer surface 122. When the movable seat 3 is rotated into the activity space 10, the first outer wall surface 31 is flush with the surface of the second display area 22 away from the second outer surface 122 (that is, it is arranged roughly on the same plane). At this time, the appearance consistency of the mobile terminal 100 is stronger.
