Abstract
A mobile terminal is provided. The mobile terminal includes a display screen on a terminal housing and a periscope optical zoom lens. The display screen and the periscope optical zoom lens are arranged in a non-overlapping manner in a thickness direction of the terminal, and the periscope optical zoom lens is located in a top area of the terminal. Additionally, the periscope optical zoom lens is configured to collect an image in an optical signal form by means of optical zoom, so that an optical-to-electrical conversion chip converts the image in an optical signal form into an image in a digital signal form and the display screen is configured to display the image in a digital signal form.

A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a terminal housing, wherein the mobile terminal further comprises:
- a display screen located on the terminal housing;
- and
- a periscope optical zoom lens located in a top area of the terminal housing;
- and
- an optical-to-electrical conversion chip;
- wherein the display screen and the periscope optical zoom lens are disposed side-by-side along a first direction, wherein the display screen and the periscope optical zoom lens do not overlap along a thickness direction of the terminal housing, the thickness direction of the terminal housing being perpendicular to the first direction;
- wherein the periscope optical zoom lens is configured to collect an image in an optical signal form using optical zoom;
- wherein the optical-to-electrical conversion chip is configured to convert the image in the optical signal form into an image in a digital signal form;
- and
- wherein the display screen is configured to display the image in the digital signal form.
A method, comprising:
- collecting, by a periscope optical zoom lens located in a top area of a terminal housing, using optical zoom, an image in an optical signal form;
- converting, by an optical-to-electrical conversion chip of the terminal housing, the image in the optical signal form into an image in a digital signal form;
- and
- displaying, by a display screen on the terminal housing, the image in the digital signal form, wherein the display screen and the periscope optical zoom lens are disposed side-by-side along a first direction, wherein the display screen and the periscope optical zoom lens do not overlap along a thickness direction of the terminal housing, the thickness direction of the terminal housing being perpendicular to the first direction.
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a terminal housing, wherein the mobile terminal further comprises:
- a display screen located on the terminal housing;
- and
- a periscope optical zoom lens located in a top area of the terminal housing;
- an optical-to-electrical conversion chip coupled to the periscope optical zoom lens and to the display screen;
- and
- a transparent panel located on the display screen and on the periscope optical zoom lens;
- and
- wherein the display screen and the periscope optical zoom lens are disposed side-by-side along a first direction, wherein the display screen and the periscope optical zoom lens do not overlap along a thickness direction of the terminal housing, the thickness direction of the terminal housing being perpendicular to the first direction.
