Abstract
A display including a first housing, a display panel and an image capturing module is provided. The first housing has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The display panel is disposed on the first surface. The image capturing module includes a second housing and an image capturing unit. The second housing is mounted on the first housing. The second housing has an opening, which passes through the first surface and the second surface. The two ends of the image capturing unit are respectively pivotally connected to the innerwall of the opening so that the image capturing module is rotatably disposed on the display.
Claims21
A display, comprising:
- a first housing having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;
- a display panel embedded on the first surface;
- and
- an image capturing module, comprising:
- a second housing mounted on and fixed to the first housing, wherein the second housing has an opening, which passes through the first housing;
- and
- an image capturing unit pivotally connected to an inner wall of the opening so that the image capturing unit rotates relatively to the second housing around a rotation axis, which is perpendicular to the normal vector of the first surface.
A display, comprising:
- a first housing having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface;
- a display panel embedded on the first surface;
- and
- an image capturing module passes through the first housing, the image capturing module comprising:
- an image capturing unit rotatably disposed on the display and selectively positioned at a first position and a second position, the image capturing unit comprising an elastomer;
- wherein when the image capturing unit is rotated and departs from the first position, the elastomer provides an elastic force to rotate the image capturing unit towards a second position;
- wherein a front surface of the image capturing unit is coplanar with the first surface when the image capturing unit is rotated to the first position, and the front surface of the image capturing unit is coplanar with the second surface when the image capturing unit is rotated to the second position.
An image capturing module disposed in a display comprising a display panel and a first housing, the first housing having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the display panel disposed on the first surface, the image capturing module comprising:
- a second housing having an opening, which passes through the first housing, wherein the second housing is mounted on and fixed to the first housing;
- and
- an image capturing unit, comprising:
- a third housing;
- a lens disposed on the third housing;
- and
- a pivot protruding from a first side of the third housing and rotatably engaged with the second housing so that the third housing and the lens are rotated around the pivot as a rotation axis, which is perpendicular to the normal vector of the first surface, and rotated relatively to the second housing.
