ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17965562 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device with a foldable display, a folding rotating shaft, and at least one camera. The device allows for folding and unfolding of the display subareas and uses the camera as a front-facing camera when the device is in a folded state. This enables the device to support a selfie function and have a high screen-to-body ratio.

  • The electronic device has a foldable display, a folding rotating shaft, and at least one camera.
  • The display consists of a first and second display subarea.
  • The folding rotating shaft allows for folding and unfolding of the display subareas.
  • The camera is positioned on the rear of the first display subarea.
  • When the device is folded, the camera is used as a front-facing camera in the second display subarea.
  • This design enables the device to support a selfie function.
  • The device also achieves a high screen-to-body ratio.

Potential Applications

  • Smartphones with foldable displays that offer a selfie function.
  • Tablets or laptops with foldable displays that provide a high screen-to-body ratio.

Problems Solved

  • Traditional smartphones or tablets with fixed displays have limited screen-to-body ratios.
  • Selfie functions on traditional smartphones require a separate front-facing camera.
  • Foldable displays can provide a larger screen area while maintaining portability.

Benefits

  • Allows for a larger screen-to-body ratio, providing a more immersive viewing experience.
  • Eliminates the need for a separate front-facing camera, reducing the device's complexity and cost.
  • Offers a convenient selfie function without compromising on display size or quality.


Original Abstract Submitted

This application provides an electronic device. The electronic device includes a foldable display, a folding rotating shaft, and at least one camera. The display includes a first display subarea and a second display subarea. The folding rotating shaft is configured to fold or unfold the first display subarea and the second display subarea. The at least one camera is disposed on the rear of the first display subarea. When the first display subarea and the second display subarea are in a folded state, the rear of the first display subarea is opposite to the rear of the second display subarea, and the at least one camera is used as a front-facing camera in the second display subarea. Therefore, the electronic device in the embodiments of this application can support a selfie function, and may also have a relatively high screen-to-body ratio.
