Abstract

A projection display component of an electronic device includes a carrier and a first cover. The carrier is arranged to carry the electronic device. The first cover is arranged to partially reflect a projected image from the electronic device. The first cover is attached to the carrier via a first hinge set.

Claims

1. A projection display component of an electronic device, comprising:

a carrier, arranged to carry the electronic device; and

a first cover, arranged to partially reflect a projected image from the electronic device, wherein the first cover is attached to the carrier via a first hinge set.

2. The projection display component of claim 1, further comprising a base plate arranged to adjust a distance between the electronic device and the first cover.

3. The projection display component of claim 2, wherein the base plate is detachable, foldable or extendible.

4. The projection display component of claim 1, wherein the first cover comprises at least one non-opaque plate.

5. The projection display component of claim 4, wherein the at least one non-opaque plate has a plurality of plates, and the plates are arranged to partially reflect the projected image, such that multiple views corresponding to the projected image are shown at a plurality of different viewpoints.

6. The projection display component of claim 4, wherein the at least one non-opaque has a plurality of stacked plates, and one of the stacked plates is attached to the carrier via the first hinge set.

7. The projection display component of claim 4, wherein the at least one non-opaque plate is a flat plane or a curved plane.

8. The projection display component of claim 4, wherein the at least one non-opaque plate is covered with optical gating for 3-dimensional (3D) display.

9. The projection display component of claim 1, further comprising:

an optical component set, configured to be placed between the electronic device and the first cover, wherein the optical component set is arranged to redirect a projected direction of the projected image to adjust a size of the projected image shown through the first cover.

10. The projection display component of claim 9, wherein the optical component set is capable of refracting light generated from the electronic device to the first cover.

11. The projection display component of claim 9, wherein the optical component set comprises at least one convex lens.

12. The projection display component of claim 1, further comprising:

a second cover, arranged to adjust a projection direction of the projected image.

13. The projection display component of claim 1, further comprising:

a second cover, arranged to block light generated from the electronic device.

14. An electronic device to be carried by a projection display component, comprising:

a projection source component;

a user input device; and

a processor, arranged to;

drive the projection source component to project an image to a first cover of the projection display component, wherein the projected image is partially reflected by the first cover; and

process a user input generated by the user input device for interacting with the projected image partially reflected by the first cover.

15. The electronic device of claim 14, wherein the user input device comprises a front camera to capture a gesture input, and the processor converts the gesture input into a corresponding action and updates the projected image according to the corresponding action.

16. The electronic device of claim 14, wherein the user input device comprises a rear camera to capture a gesture input reflected from a base plate of the projection display component, and the processor converts the gesture input into a corresponding action and updates the projected image according to the corresponding action.

17. The electronic device of claim 14, wherein the user input device comprises a microphone to detect a ultrasound input, and the processor converts the ultrasound input into a corresponding action and updates the projected image according to the corresponding action.

18. The electronic device of claim 14, wherein the user input device comprises a microphone to detect a voice input, and the processor converts the voice input into a corresponding action and updates the projected image according to the corresponding action.
