Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display screen, a sensor component and a light shield layer. The display screen has a straight portion and a curved portion extending from a side of the straight portion. The sensor component is opposite to the display screen and has a position corresponding to the curved portion of the display screen. The light shield layer is arranged at a side of the display screen facing the sensor component.

Claims

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a display screen having a straight portion and a curved portion extending from a side of the straight portion;

a sensor component arranged opposite to the display screen and having a position corresponding to the curved portion of the display screen; and

a light shield layer arranged at a side of the display screen facing the sensor component;

wherein the sensor component comprises a signal emitter and a signal receiver communicated with the signal emitter;

wherein the light shield layer has a first opening and a second opening, the first opening corresponds to the signal emitter, and the second opening corresponds to the signal receiver;

wherein the display screen comprises a display area configured to display information, and the first opening and the second opening of the light shield layer are arranged at the display area.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the curved portion of the display screen comprises a first curved portion and a second curved portion, the signal emitter has a position corresponding to the second curved portion and the signal receiver has a position corresponding to the first curved portion.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the signal emitter and the signal receiver are packaged into a chip.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the sensor component further comprises an ambient-light sensor configured to detect an ambient-light intensity,

wherein the signal emitter, the signal receiver and the ambient-light sensor are packaged into a chip.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the first opening and the second opening each are a round hole and have a diameter of 2-6 millimeters.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the light shield layer comprises:

a first light shield layer coupled to a side of the display screen facing the sensor component; and

a second light shield layer coupled to a side of the first light shield layer facing the sensor component,

wherein the second light shield layer has the first opening and the second opening, and the first light shield layer covers the first opening and the second opening of the second light shield layer.

7. The electronic device according to claim 6, wherein the first light shield layer is a white ink layer, and the second light shield layer is a black ink layer.

8. The electronic device according to claim 6, wherein a transmissivity of the first light shield layer is larger than that of the second light shield layer.

9. An electronic device, comprising:

a display screen having a straight portion and two curved portions extending from two sides of the straight portion respectively; and

a sensor component arranged opposite to the display screen and comprising a signal emitter and a signal receiver communicated with the signal emitter,

wherein the signal emitter is configured to emit a detecting signal to outside through one of the two curved portions and the signal receiver is configured to receive a reflected signal from the outside through the other one of the two portions, in which the detecting signal is reflected into the reflected signal when touching an external object,

wherein the electronic device further comprises a light shield layer disposed at a side of the display screen facing the sensor component, and arranged opposite to the straight portion of the display screen without blocking the two curved portions of the display screen,

wherein the two curved portions of the display screen comprise a first curved portion and a second curved portion, the signal emitter has a position corresponding to the second curved portion and the signal receiver has a position corresponding to the first curved portion.

10. The electronic device according to claim 9, wherein the signal emitter and the signal receiver are packaged into a chip.

11. The electronic device according to claim 9, wherein the sensor component further comprises an ambient-light sensor configured to detect an ambient-light intensity,

wherein the signal emitter, the signal receiver and the ambient-light sensor are packaged into a chip.

12. An electronic device, comprising:

a housing;

a display screen coupled to the housing, having a straight portion and a curved portion extending from a side of the straight portion;

a circuit board received in the housing and disposed at a side of the display screen;

a sensor component coupled to the circuit board and arranged opposite to the curved portion of the display screen, the sensor component comprising a signal emitter and a signal receiver; and

a light shield layer arranged between the display screen and the sensor component;

wherein the light shield layer comprises;

a first light shield layer coupled to a side of the display screen facing the sensor component; and

a second light shield layer coupled to a side of the first light shield layer facing the sensor component;

wherein the second light shield layer has a first opening and a second opening, the first opening is opposite to the signal emitter, the second opening is opposite to the signal receiver, and the first light shield layer covers the first opening and the second opening of the second light shield layer.

13. The electronic device according to claim 12, wherein the curved portion of the display screen comprises a first curved portion and a second curved portion, the signal emitter is arranged opposite to the second curved portion and the signal receiver is arranged opposite to the first curved portion.
