Abstract

An electronic device including a housing, a display component and an electronic component is provided. The housing includes a transparent cover and a middle frame, and the transparent cover is assembled to the middle frame. The display component is disposed in the housing. The electronic component is disposed in the housing, wherein the transparent cover has a flat portion and a connecting portion. The connecting portion curvingly extends from a side of the flat portion and includes at least one bonding surface, and a thickness of the flat portion is different from a thickness of the connecting portion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a housing, comprising:
a transparent cover; and
a middle frame, the transparent cover being assembled to the middle frame;

a display component, disposed in the housing; and
an electronic component, disposed in the housing, wherein the transparent cover has a flat portion and a connecting portion, the connecting portion curvingly extends from a side of the flat portion and comprises at least one bonding surface, and a thickness of the flat portion is different from a thickness of the connecting portion,
wherein the middle frame protrudes out from an exterior surface of the transparent cover along a direction parallel to an extending direction of the flat portion,
wherein the connecting portion further comprises an outer surface and an inner surface, and a radius of curvature of the outer surface is greater than or smaller than a radius of curvature of the inner surface, and
wherein a thickness of the connecting portion gradually increases from a central part of the connecting portion to a part of the connecting portion adjacent to the flat portion and a part of the connecting portion adjacent to the at least one bonding surface.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein an extension direction of the at least one bonding surface is parallel to an extension direction of the flat portion.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of a part of the connecting portion adjacent to the flat portion is different from a thickness of a part of the connecting portion adjacent to the at least one bonding surface.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one bonding surface extends in a same plane.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the middle frame has a bonding portion, and the transparent cover is fixed to the bonding portion.

6. The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein an edge of the bonding portion is matched with the corresponding outer surface of the connecting portion.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the outer surface of the connecting portion has a chamfer face.

8. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the display component is located between the transparent cover and the middle frame.

9. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the middle frame is located between the transparent cover and the display component.

10. An electronic device, comprising:
a housing, comprising:
a first transparent cover, having a first flat portion and a first connecting portion;
a second transparent cover, having a second flat portion and a second connecting portion; and
a middle frame, the first transparent cover and the second transparent cover being assembled to the middle frame respectively;

a display component, disposed in the housing and is located between the first transparent cover and the middle frame; and
an electronic component, disposed in the housing and is located between the second transparent cover and the middle frame, wherein the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion curvingly extend from sides of the first flat portion and the second flat portion respectively and comprise at least one first bonding surface and at least one second bonding surface respectively, a thickness of the first flat portion is different from a thickness of the first connecting portion, and a thickness of the second flat portion is different from a thickness of the second connecting portion,
wherein the middle frame protrudes out from an exterior surface of one of the first transparent cover and the second transparent cover along a direction parallel to an extending direction of corresponding one of the first flat portion and the second flat portion,
wherein the first connecting portion further comprises a first outer surface and a first inner surface, the second connecting portion further comprises a second outer surface and a second inner surface, and the first inner surface and the second inner surface are located between the first outer surface and the middle frame and the second outer surface and the middle frame respectively, a radius of curvature of the first outer surface is greater than or smaller than a radius of curvature of the first inner surface, and a radius of curvature of the second outer surface is greater than or smaller than a radius of curvature of the second inner surface, and
wherein a thickness of a part of the first connecting portion gradually increases from a central part of the first connecting portion to a part of the first connecting portion adjacent to the first flat portion and a part of the first connecting portion adjacent to the at least one first bonding surface and a thickness of the second connecting portion gradually increases from a central part of the second connecting portion to a part of the second connecting portion adjacent to the second flat portion and a part of the second connecting portion adjacent to the at least one second bonding surface.

11. The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein extension directions of the at least one first bonding surface and the second bonding surface are parallel to extension directions of the first flat portion and the second flat portion respectively.

12. The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein a thickness of a part of the first connecting portion adjacent to the first flat portion is different from a thickness of a part of the first connecting portion adjacent to the at least one first bonding surface, and a thickness of a part of the second connecting portion adjacent to the second flat portion is different from a thickness of a part of the second connecting portion adjacent to the at least one second bonding surface.

13. The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein the at least one first bonding surface extends in a same plane, and the at least one second bonding surface extends in another same plane.

14. The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein the middle frame has a connecting portion, and the first transparent cover and the second transparent cover are fixed to opposite sides of the connecting portion respectively.

15. The electronic device according to claim 14 , wherein edges of the connecting portion of the middle frame are matched with the first outer surface of the first connecting portion and the second outer surface of the second connecting portion.

16. The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein the first outer surface of the first connecting portion and the second outer surface of the second connecting portion have chamfer faces.
