Abstract
A capping member is provided. The capping member is adapted to a flexible display panel. The capping member includes a first side wall, a second side wall opposite to the first side wall, a plurality of holes located between the first side wall and the second side wall. The first side wall is configured to be coupled to a side of the flexible display panel. The first side wall and the second side wall are bendable with the side of the flexible display panel and a configuration of each of the plurality of holes are changeable during bending the first side wall and the second side wall. A housing assembly and an electronic device are also provided.
Claims19
A capping member, which is adapted to a flexible display panel, wherein the flexible display panel is supported by a connecting member and a coupling member, the coupling member faces the connecting member to support the connecting member, and the capping member covers the end of the connecting member, the capping member comprising:
- a first side wall configured to be coupled to a side of the flexible display panel;
- a second side wall opposite to the first side wall;
- and
- a plurality of holes located between the first side wall and the second side wall;
- wherein the first side wall and the second side wall are bendable with the side of the flexible display panel and a configuration of each of the plurality of holes are changeable during bending the first side wall and the second side wall,
- the capping member defining a positioning groove configured to be slidably coupled to the coupling member;
- wherein the coupling member comprises a hinge shaft, and the hinge shaft is capable of sliding from one end of the positioning groove to the other end of the positioning groove;
- and
- wherein a longitudinal geometric central line of the positioning groove and a longitudinal geometric central line of the connecting member are coplanar.
A housing assembly for an electronic device, the housing assembly comprising:
- a connecting member configured to support a flexible display panel of the electronic device, the connecting member comprising a connecting side overlapped with a side of the flexible display panel, the connecting side being bendable;
- a coupling member facing the connecting member to support the connecting member;
- and
- a capping member comprising:
- a first side wall configured to cover the connecting side and the side of the flexible display panel;
- a second side wall opposite to the first side wall;
- and
- a plurality of holes located between the first side wall and the second side wall;
- wherein the first side wall and the second side wall are bendable with the side of the flexible display panel and a configuration of each of the plurality of holes are changeable during bending the first side wall and the second side wall, the capping member defining a positioning groove configured to be slidably coupled to the coupling member;
- wherein the coupling member comprises a hinge shaft, and the hinge shaft is capable of sliding from one end of the positioning groove to the other end of the positioning groove;
- and
- wherein a longitudinal geometric central line of the positioning groove and a longitudinal geometric central line of the connecting member are coplanar.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a housing assembly comprising:
- a connecting member configured to support the flexible display panel, the connecting member comprising a connecting side, the connecting side being bendable;
- and
- a coupling member facing the connecting member to support the connecting member;
- a capping member comprising:
- a first side wall configured to cover the connecting side,
- a second side wall opposite to the first side wall, and
- a plurality of holes located between the first side wall and the second side wall,
- wherein the capping member further defines a positioning groove, and the coupling member is slidably coupled to the positioning groove;
- a flexible display panel positioned on the housing assembly and the first side wall of the capping member;
- and
- an electronic component group positioned in the housing assembly and electrically connected to the flexible display panel,
- wherein the coupling member comprises a hinge shaft, and the hinge shaft is capable of sliding from one end of the positioning groove to the other end of the positioning groove;
- and
- wherein a longitudinal geometric central line of the positioning groove and a longitudinal geometric central line of the connecting member are coplanar.
