FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged view of the portable electronic device shown in FIG. 1 . Cartesian coordinates X-Y-Z are provided here to facilitate component description. Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 at the same time. In this embodiment, the portable electronic device 100 , such as a notebook computer, includes a first body 110 , a display module 130 , a transmission module 140 , a pivot 150 and a second body 120 . The first body 110 has a reference surface S1, and the display module 130 is disposed on the first body 110 and has a display surface S2. The transmission module 140 is disposed on the first body 110 and connected to the display module 130 . The second body 120 is pivotally connected to the first body 110 through the pivot 150 , so that the first body 110 and the second body 120 can rotate and open relative to each other through the pivot 150 . At the same time, during the pivoting process of the first body 110 relative to the second body 120 , the transmission module 140 drives the display module 130 away from or moves closer to the first body 110 to drive the display surface S2 up or down relative to the reference plane S1 . Here, the first body 110 , the display module 130 and the transmission module 140 can be regarded as the display components of the portable electronic device 100 . Of course, in other unshown embodiments, the display component can also be applied to other electronic devices with display effects.

In this embodiment, the pivot 150 and the transmission module 140 are arranged in pairs in the first body 110. Since the transmission modules 140 and the pivot 150 on the left and right sides have the same function, the transmission module 140 and the pivot 150 on one side will be used as an example for illustration.

4A and 4B are partial enlarged views of the portable electronic device 100 in FIG. 2 at different locations. It should be noted that although FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B are schematic diagrams of the mechanism of the portable electronic device 100 at different locations, they substantially have the same mechanism features and configurations. Therefore, FIG. 4A will be used as an example in the following. Please refer to FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4A at the same time. In this embodiment, the transmission module 140 has an active part 143, which is movably disposed on the first body 110 along the first axis A1 (in FIG. 2, the first axis A1 is parallel to the X axis). The display module 130 has a driven part 133, which is located on the moving path of the active part 143. The display module 130 is raised or lowered, wherein the first axis A1 is orthogonal to the second axis A2.

To be more specific, FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B respectively show partial schematic diagrams of the portable electronic device in another state. Please refer to FIG. 2, FIG. 4A and FIG. 5A. The active part 143 and the driven part 133 are convex parts and concave parts corresponding to each other. When the convex part moves out of the concave part, the display surface S2 will be raised relative to the reference plane S1. The portion 133 protrudes from the wedge-shaped concave portion, thus exhibiting the effect that the display module 130 moves and lifts along the second axis A2.

In detail, please refer to FIG. 2 , FIG. 3 and FIG. 4A at the same time. In this embodiment, the first body 110 and the second body 120 can be opened and closed by relative rotation through the pivot 150 . As shown in FIG. 3 , the pivot 150 includes brackets 151 , 152 , shafts 153 and torsion parts 154 respectively arranged on the first body 110 and the second body 120 , wherein the brackets 151 , 152 are pivoted together through the shaft 153 , and the torsion part 154 is arranged on the shaft 153 to provide the torque required for the first body 110 and the second body 120 to rotate, open, close and support relative to each other. Moreover, the transmission module 140 includes a gear 141 , a rack 142 , a power source 144 (such as a motor) and the aforementioned driving part 143 . The gear 141 is rotatably disposed on the first body 110 and coupled (engaged) with the gear part of the power source 144 . The rack 142 is movably disposed on the first body 110 and coupled to the gear 141 , and the aforementioned active part 143 is located on the rack 142 (the active part 143 and the rack 142 are configured in the same structure. That is, both are located in the structural body 142a). Here, the power source 144 , the pivot shaft 150 of the first body 110 and the second body 120 are arranged coaxially. Correspondingly, the display module 130 includes a carrier 131 and a display unit 132 disposed thereon, and the aforementioned driven part 133 is located on the carrier 131 . Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2 , the bearing member 131 has a slide groove structure 131 a for allowing the plate structure of the rack 142 to slide therein and move back and forth along the first axis A1 smoothly.

Accordingly, when the first body 110 and the second body 120 are relatively rotated to open and close through the pivot 150, the power source 144 can drive the rack 142 to move along the first axis A1 through the synchronous rotation of the gear 141, as shown in FIG. 4A, FIG. 4B and FIG.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the electrical connections of some components of the portable electronic device. Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 6 at the same time. In this embodiment, the portable electronic device 100 further includes a control module 160 and a sensing module 170, wherein the control module 160 is electrically connected to the power source 144 of the transmission module 140 and the sensing module 170, and the sensing module 170 is arranged beside the pivot 150 to sense its pivoting state. When the first body 110 and the second body 120 are relatively rotated to open and close through the pivot 150 , the control module 160 can know the pivot state of the pivot 150 through the sensing module 170 , and then control the transmission module 140 accordingly to adjust the corresponding state of the display surface S2 of the display module 130 relative to the reference surface S1 of the first body 110 . In this embodiment, when the first body 110 and the second body 120 are unfolded relative to each other, the control module 160 drives the display surface S2 to lift relative to the reference plane S1 through the transmission module 140 , as shown in FIG. 5A . At this time, a part of the display module 130 moves out of the first body 110 in a concave structure, and thus a gap G1 is formed between the display module 130 and the first body 110 . In addition to raising the display surface S2 to provide a visual borderless effect, this can also provide an additional cooling space for the portable electronic device 100 through the gap G1. For example, the second body 120 is a host system, which is equipped with electronic components such as processors and display chips. Therefore, when the portable electronic device 100 is in operation, these electronic components will generate heat and be regarded as a heat source in the portable electronic device 100. If the heat can be introduced into the aforementioned gap G1 through a heat transfer mechanism, an additional heat dissipation path can be provided for the portable electronic device 100, thereby improving its heat dissipation effect.

In contrast, when the first body 110 and the second body 120 are relatively closed, the control module 160 drives the display surface S2 to descend relative to the reference plane S1 through the transmission module 140, so that the display surface S2 and the reference plane S1 present a coplanar state consistent with each other, as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 4A, FIG. 4B.

In another embodiment, the user can also adjust the lifting or lowering state of the display module 130 relative to the first body 110 by directly manipulating the control module 160 .

Please refer to FIG. 4A, FIG. 4B and FIG. 5B again. In this embodiment, the transmission module 140 further includes a magnetic member M2, which is arranged in the same structure as the active part 143 and adjacent to the active part 143, and the display module 130 further includes a magnetic member M1, which is arranged in the same structure as the driven part 133 and adjacent to the driven part 133. When the convex parts are in contact with each other, the positioning effect can be provided by the magnetic parts M1 and M2 which are magnetically attracted to each other, as shown in FIG. 5B .

To sum up, in the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention, in the display component and the portable electronic device with the display module, the transmission module is arranged on the body and connected to the display module, so the transmission module can be driven to make the display surface of the display module rise or fall relative to the reference plane of the body, thereby allowing the display surface to produce a floating effect. Viewing the display component or the portable electronic device from the user's perspective can produce a borderless visual effect.
