Abstract

An electronic device with touch function includes a back casing, a front casing, a display panel and a touch panel. The front casing is combined with the back casing so as to form an accommodating space. The display panel is disposed in the accommodating space. The touch panel is fixed to the front casing and the touch panel is departed from the display panel with a predetermined distance.

Claims

1. An electronic device with touch function comprising:

a back casing;

a front casing combined with the back casing so as to form an accommodating space;

a display panel disposed in the accommodating space; and

a touch panel fixed to a second side of the front casing and departed from the display panel with a predetermined distance, the second side is opposite to a first side of the front casing;

wherein the front casing has a frame located at the second side, a recess is formed within the frame, the touch panel comprises a touch module and a substrate, and the substrate is located at a lower surface of the touch module and accommodated in the recess;

wherein the frame comprises a first step-shaped structure and a second step-shaped structure, the recess comprises a first recess portion and a second recess portion, the first step-shaped structure surrounds the first recess portion, the second step-shaped structure surrounds the second recess portion, the touch module is accommodated in the first recess portion, and the substrate is accommodated in the second recess portion.

2. The electronic device with touch function of claim 1, wherein the display panel is fixed to the first side of the front casing, the touch panel is adhered to the second side of the front casing by a glue and the predetermined distance is larger than a thickness of the glue.

3. The electronic device with touch function of claim 2, wherein a periphery of the substrate is adhered to the second recess portion by the glue.

4. The electronic device with touch function of claim 1, wherein the lower surface of the touch module covers the frame completely, and an upper surface of the frame and an upper surface of the touch module are at an identical level substantially.

5. The electronic device with touch function of claim 1, further comprising a circuit board disposed in the accommodating space and electrically connected to the display panel and the touch panel, wherein a hole is formed on the front casing, the touch panel has a cable, and the cable passes through the hole and is electrically connected to the circuit board.

6. The electronic device with touch function of claim 1, further comprising a shielding member disposed in the accommodating space, wherein the display panel is fixed to the shielding member.

7. The electronic device with touch function of claim 1, further comprising a heat dissipating unit disposed in the accommodating space, wherein the back casing has an opening and the heat dissipating unit dissipates heat via the opening.

8. The electronic device with touch function of claim 1, further comprising a speaker disposed in the accommodating space, wherein the back casing has an opening and the speaker generates sounds via the opening.

9. An electronic device with touch function comprising:

a back casing;

a front casing combined with the back casing so as to form an accommodating space;

a display panel disposed in the accommodating space and fixed to a first side of the front casing; and

a touch panel fixed to a second side of the front casing and not fixed to the display panel immediately, the second side being opposite to the first side;

wherein the front casing has a frame located at the second side, a recess is formed within the frame, the touch panel comprises a touch module and a substrate, and the substrate is located at a lower surface of the touch module and accommodated in the recess;

wherein the frame comprises a first step-shaped structure and a second step-shaped structure, the recess comprises a first recess portion and a second recess portion, the first step-shaped structure surrounds the first recess portion, the second step-shaped structure surrounds the second recess portion, the touch module is accommodated in the first recess portion, and the substrate is accommodated in the second recess portion.

10. The electronic device with touch function of claim 9, wherein the touch panel is departed from the display panel with a predetermined distance, the touch panel is adhered to the second side of the front casing by a glue, and the predetermined distance is larger than a thickness of the glue.

11. The electronic device with touch function of claim 10, wherein a periphery of the substrate is adhered to the second recess portion by the glue.

12. The electronic device with touch function of claim 9, wherein the lower surface of the touch module covers the frame completely, and an upper surface of the frame and an upper surface of the touch module are at an identical level substantially.

13. The electronic device with touch function of claim 9, further comprising a circuit board disposed in the accommodating space and electrically connected to the display panel and the touch panel, wherein a hole is formed on the front casing, the touch panel has a cable, and the cable passes through the hole and is electrically connected to the circuit board.

14. The electronic device with touch function of claim 9, further comprising a shielding member disposed in the accommodating space, wherein the display panel is fixed to the shielding member.

15. The electronic device with touch function of claim 9, further comprising a heat dissipating unit disposed in the accommodating space, wherein the back casing has an opening and the heat dissipating unit dissipates heat via the opening.

16. The electronic device with touch function of claim 9, further comprising a speaker disposed in the accommodating space, wherein the back casing has an opening and the speaker generates sounds via the opening.
