Abstract

An electronic device is provided in the present application, which includes a first component; a display arranged on a first surface of the first component; a second component, which includes a supporting body and a projector, the second component being arranged at a first lateral portion of the first component and the projector being arranged on the supporting body; and a connecting member arranged at the first lateral portion of the first component. The supporting body is movable with respect to the first component via the connecting member, the projector is rotatable with the rotation of the supporting body, and the projector moves to a second relative position with respect to the first component when the supporting body moves to a first relative position with respect to the first component.

Claims (16)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a first component;

a display arranged on a first surface of the first component;

a second component, comprising a supporting body and a projector, and the projector being arranged on the supporting body;

a connecting member arranged on the first component; wherein the second component is rotatably connected to the first component via the connecting member; and

an angle transducer, which is arranged on the first component or the second component and configured to detect a first included angle between the projector and the first component,

wherein the supporting body is configured to support the first component so that the electronic device is independently placed on a plane,

wherein the display is configured to be in a state with a backlight being switched off in the case that content to be projected on the display is projected by the projector onto a first display area and the first included angle is within a first angle range, and

wherein the display is configured to be in a state with the backlight being switched on in the case that the content to be projected is projected by the projector onto a second display area and the first included angle is within a second angle range.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the second component is arranged at a first lateral portion of the first component, and the connecting member is arranged at the first lateral portion of the first component.

3. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein, the supporting body is movable with respect to the first component via the connecting member, the projector is rotatable with the rotation of the supporting body, and the projector is configured to move to a second relative position with respect to the first component in the case that the supporting body moves to a first relative position with respect to the first component.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the supporting body comprises a first portion sleeved on the connecting member, and a second portion formed integrally with the first portion, the projector is arranged on the first portion, and the projector is at a lateral portion of the electronic device in the case that content, to be projected, on the display is projected by the projector onto a first display area.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a cable-laying channel arranged inside the connecting member and arranged along an axial direction of the connecting member; and

a data transmission cable, comprising a first connecting end and a second connecting end, wherein, the first connecting end is connected to the projector, the second connecting end is connected to a mainboard of the electronic device, and the data transmission cable is configured to pass through the cable-laying channel and pass an interior of the first subsidiary connecting portion or the second subsidiary connecting portion.

6. The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein the supporting body is configured to support the first component in the case that the supporting body moves to the first relative position with respect to the first component.
