Abstract

A display module includes a middle frame, a display screen, a coil, and a magnet. The display screen is arranged on the middle frame. The display screen and the middle frame cooperatively define a receiving space. The coil defines an accommodation space. A portion of the magnet is accommodated in the accommodation space. The magnet and the coil are received in the receiving space. One of the magnet and the coil is arranged on the display screen, and the other one of the magnet and the coil is arranged on the middle frame.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device comprising a display module, the display module comprising:
a middle frame comprising a first housing and a second housing, the first housing being annular-shaped, the second housing comprising a bottom wall, a side wall surrounding a periphery of the bottom wall, and a connecting portion, the connecting member connected to the sidewall and the first housing;
a display screen arranged on the middle frame, the first housing being arranged between the display screen and the second housing, the display screen and the middle frame cooperatively defining a receiving space;
a coil defining an accommodation space; and
a magnet, a portion of the magnet accommodated in the accommodation space; wherein:
the magnet and the coil are received in the receiving space; and
the magnet is arranged on the display screen, and the coil comprises an upper edge facing the display screen and a lower edge opposite the upper edge, the coil further comprises a fixing portion extending from the upper edge or the lower edge of an outer periphery of the coil away from a central axis of the coil, the coil is arranged on the bottom wall through the fixing portion;
the electronic device further comprises a battery, wherein:
the battery is disposed below the connecting member, a surface of the battery facing the connecting member is recessed to form a groove, and the bottom wall and the side wall of the second housing are received in the groove.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein:
a cross-sectional shape of the coil is a circular ring, an elliptical ring, or a rectangular ring.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a battery, wherein:
the battery is provided with a through hole penetrating the battery; and
the middle frame is received in the through hole.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising a circuit board, wherein:
the circuit board is arranged between the first housing and the second housing.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein:
the first housing and the circuit board are coupled together by a surface mount process or a screw connection; and
the second housing is coupled to the circuit board by a surface mount process or a screw connection.
