Abstract

An electronic device and a circuit module thereof are provided. The circuit module includes a main body, a light-emitting portion and a PCI-E insert row, the main body has a substrate and a first coating layer, the substrate has a light-transmittable portion and a first face, the first coating layer is coated on the first face, the first coating layer has an emergent light-transmittable portion corresponding to the light-transmittable portion. The light-emitting portion is buried in the substrate. The PCI-E insert row is disposed on the substrate. The electronic device includes the circuit module mentioned above and further includes a shell portion. The shell portion is covered on two opposite lateral faces of the circuit module, and the shell portion further has a second light-transmittable portion corresponding to the emergent light-transmittable portion.

Claims (11)

1. A circuit module, including: a main body, including a substrate and a first coating layer, the substrate having a light-transmittable portion and a first face, the first coating layer being coated on the first face, the first coating layer being formed with an emergent light-transmittable portion corresponding to the light-transmittable portion; a light-emitting portion, embedded in the substrate, light from the light-emitting portion being projected to the light-transmittable portion and projected through the emergent light- transmittable portion to an exterior of the circuit module; a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCI Express, PCI-E) insert row, disposed on the substrate.

2. The circuit module of claim 1 , wherein the first coating layer at least shields a part of the light-emitting portion.

3. The circuit module of claim 1 , wherein the substrate further has a second face opposite to the first face, the main body further includes a second coating layer coated on the second face, and the second coating layer at least shields a part of the light-emitting portion.

4. The circuit module of claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting portion includes a plurality of light-emitting diodes which are embedded in the substrate along a contour of the emergent light-transmittable portion.

5. The circuit module of claim 4 , wherein the emergent light-transmittable portion is a light-transmittable pattern portion.

6. The circuit module of claim 1 , wherein the emergent light-transmittable portion is a hollow-out structure or a layer made of a light-transmittable material.

7. A circuit module of claim 1 , wherein the substrate is provided with an electronic unit, the electronic unit is electronically connected with the PCI-E insert row, and the electronic unit is either a graphic processing module or a display processing module.

8. An electronic device, including the circuit module of claim 1 , further including:

a shell portion, covered on two opposite lateral faces of the circuit module, the shell portion having a second light-transmittable portion corresponding to the emergent light-transmittable portion, and light projected from the emergent light-transmittable portion being projectable through the second light-transmittable portion to an exterior of the electronic device.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the second light-transmittable portion is a hollow-out structure or a layer made of a light-transmittable material.

10. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the shell portion is a heat-dissipating shell portion.
