Electronic Devices With Displays and Camera Windows - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240098167 titled 'Electronic Devices With Displays and Camera Windows
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for mounting displays and cameras in electronic devices using epoxy, air gaps, adhesive, and metal supports. Here are the key points:
- Display mounted in housing with sidewall
- Bent portion of display embedded in epoxy with air gap from sidewall
- Adhesive attaches epoxy to housing
- Metal support chemically bonded to epoxy and welded to metal structures
- Housing has glass layer forming rear wall
- Glass layer has protruding portion forming glass plateau with camera openings
- Camera protruding portion received within glass plateau opening and extends into metal camera trim
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in the manufacturing of smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices with displays and cameras.
Problems Solved
This innovation solves the problem of securely mounting displays and cameras in electronic devices while maintaining structural integrity and functionality.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved durability, stability, and performance of electronic devices with displays and cameras.
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology include consumer electronics, medical devices, automotive displays, and industrial equipment.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of adhesive or epoxy to mount components in electronic devices, but the specific combination of epoxy, air gaps, adhesive, and metal supports as described in the patent application may be novel.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact the overall design of electronic devices?
This technology could potentially allow for thinner and more compact electronic devices by securely mounting displays and cameras without compromising structural integrity.
What materials are used in the construction of the housing and components?
The patent application mentions epoxy, metal supports, glass, and adhesive, but the specific materials and their properties are not detailed.
Original Abstract Submitted
electronic devices may be provided with components such as displays and cameras. a display may be mounted in a housing. the housing may have a sidewall. a bent portion of the display may be embedded in epoxy that is separated from the sidewall by an air gap. adhesive may attach the epoxy to the housing. a metal support that is chemically bonded to the epoxy may be welded to metal structures such as camera brackets and other metal supports. the housing may have a glass layer that forms a rear wall. the glass layer may have a protruding portion that forms a glass plateau with openings through which cameras operates. a camera may have a protruding portion that is received within one of the glass plateau openings. the protruding portion may extend into a metal camera trim in one of the openings that is attached to the glass plateau.
