Portable computer apparatus
A portable computer apparatus includes a display module, a host module, at least one shaft mechanism, and an antenna. The display module has a first pivot side and includes first and second upper-cover members and a display device contained in the first and second upper-cover members. The host module has a second pivot side and includes first and second lower-cover members and a host device contained in the first and second lower-cover members. The host device is electrically connected to the display device and the antenna. The shaft mechanism is pivotally connected to at least one of the first and second upper-cover members corresponding to the first pivot side and at least one of the first and second lower-cover members corresponding to the second pivot side. The antenna is integrally formed with the shaft mechanism or on one of the first and second pivot sides.
1. A portable computer apparatus comprising:
a display module having a first pivot side, the display module comprising:
a first upper-cover member;
a display device disposed on the first upper-cover member; and
a second upper-cover member connected to the first upper-cover member for containing the display device cooperatively;
a host module having a second pivot side, the host module comprising:
a first lower-cover member;
a host device disposed on the first lower-cover member and electrically connected to the display device; and
a second lower-cover member connected to the first lower-cover member for containing the host device cooperatively;
at least one shaft mechanism pivotally connected to at least one of the first upper-cover member and the second upper-cover member corresponding to the first pivot side and at least one of the first lower-cover member and the second lower-cover member corresponding to the second pivot side, for making the display module pivotally folded upon the host module or expanded relative to the host module; and
an antenna electrically connected to the host device and integrally formed with the shaft mechanism or on one of the first pivot side and the second pivot side.
2. The portable computer apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the shaft mechanism comprises:
a shaft pivotally connected to at least one of the first upper-cover member and the second upper-cover member corresponding to the first pivot side and at least one of the first lower-cover member and the second lower-cover member corresponding to the second pivot side; and
a protection cover disposed on the first upper-cover member, the second upper-cover member, the first lower-cover member, or the second lower-cover member for covering the shaft, the antenna being integrally formed with the protection cover along a contour of the protection cover.
3. The portable computer apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the antenna is integrally formed with the protection cover by an LDS (Laser Direct Structuring) process, an Ag paste printing process, a pad printing process, or an insert molding process.
4. The portable computer apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the protection cover is integrally formed or detachably disposed on the first upper-cover member, the second upper-cover member, the lower-cover member or the second lower-cover member.
5. The portable computer apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the antenna is formed on an outer surface or an inner wall of the protection cover.
6. The portable computer apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the first upper-cover member, the second upper-cover member, the lower-cover member and the second lower-cover member are made of metal material, and the protection cover is made of non-metal material.
7. The portable computer apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the host module further comprises:
an appearance member disposed on at least one of the first lower-cover member and the second lower-cover member corresponding to the second pivot side, the antenna being formed with the appearance member along a contour of the appearance member.
8. The portable computer apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the antenna is integrally formed with the appearance member by an LDS process, an Ag paste printing process, a pad printing process, or an insert molding process.
9. The portable computer apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the appearance member is integrally formed with or detachably disposed on at least one of the first lower-cover member and the second lower-cover member.
10. The portable computer apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the antenna is formed on an outer surface or an inner wall of the appearance member.
11. The portable computer apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the first upper-cover member, the second upper-cover member, the lower-cover member and the second lower-cover member are made of metal material, and the appearance member is made of non-metal material.
12. The portable computer apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display module further comprises:
an appearance member disposed on at least one of the first upper-cover member and the second upper-cover member corresponding to first pivot side, the antenna being integrally formed with the appearance member along a contour of the appearance member.
13. The portable computer apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the antenna is integrally formed with the appearance member by an LDS process, an Ag paste printing process, a pad printing process, or an insert molding process.
14. The portable computer apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the appearance member is integrally formed with or detachably disposed on at least one of the first upper-cover member and the second upper-cover member.
15. The portable computer apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the antenna is formed on an outer surface or an inner wall of the appearance member.
16. The portable computer apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the first upper-cover member, the second upper-cover member, the lower-cover member and the second lower-cover member are made of metal material, and the appearance member is made of non-metal material.
