FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an electronic device and a lens module thereof, and more particularly to an electronic device and a lens module thereof capable of thoroughly utilizing an internal space of the electronic device and reducing an outer border frame of the electronic device.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

A common laptop computer is usually provided with a lens at a border frame on a side of the screen such that the lens can photograph a user sitting in front of the screen. Referring toFIG. 1, a laptop computer900includes a first housing910, a second housing920, an accommodating space930, a lens module940and a screen module950. The first housing910is a case facing one side of a user and includes a through hole911. The first housing910is connected to the second housing920, and an accommodating space930is formed between the first housing910and the second housing920. To satisfy the requirements of a streamlined appearance, the second housing920is usually designed to include an arc edge921so as to present a simple and sleek look. The screen module950is installed between the first housing910and the second housing920. The lens module940is provided in the accommodating space930and is aligned with the through hole911so as to photograph the user through the through hole911.

In an area on the interior of the accommodating space930and near the arc edge921, an arc area931corresponding to the arc edge921is also formed. However, the lens module940, which generally has a rectangular shape, cannot be placed into the arc area931, so the space of the arc area931cannot be properly utilized. In addition, the first housing910needs to be designed to have a sufficient first housing length A so as to cover the accommodating space930and the lens module940. Therefore, the proper utilization of the arc area931and reduction of the first housing length A so as to achieve an increased screen size is a task worthy of discussion.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is a primary object of the present invention to provide an electronic device capable of thoroughly utilizing an internal space of the electronic device and reducing an outer border frame of the electronic device.

To achieve the above object, an electronic device of the present invention includes a first housing, a second housing, an accommodating space and a lens module. The first housing has a through hole. The second housing is connected to the first housing and includes an arc edge. The accommodating space is formed between the first housing and the second housing and includes an arch area having a position corresponding to the arc edge. The lens module is located in the accommodating space and has a shape matching the accommodating space. The lens module includes a bottom case, a side case, a top case, an internal space and a photography unit. The side case is connected to the bottom case and includes an inclined surface area provided in the arc area. The top case is connected to the side case and includes a top opening aligned with the through hole. The internal space is formed between the bottom case, the side case and the top case. The photography unit is located in the internal space and is aligned with the top opening.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the camera lens further includes at least one power connecting member provided at the side case.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the side case further includes a bevel angle area, in which the power connecting member is provided.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the side case further includes a recessed area, in which the power connecting member is provided.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the side case further has a first short side, the first short side has a first short side center line, and the top opening is deviated from the first short side center line.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the side case further has a first short side, the first short side has a first short side center line, and the top opening is located on the first short side center line.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device further includes a screen module. The screen module is located between the first housing and the second housing and is close to the lens module.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the lens module further includes an actuator and a blocking piece. The actuator is located in the internal space and can be electrically driven to move along a first direction or a second direction. The blocking piece is located next to the top opening and is linked with the actuator. When the actuator moves along the first direction, the actuator drives the blocking piece to move to a first position to block the photography unit; when the actuator moves along the second direction, the actuator drives the blocking piece to move to a second position such that the photography unit is exposed to an exterior from the top opening.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the blocking piece further includes a pivotal portion mutually pivotally connected to the top case. The actuator includes a connecting portion connected to the blocking piece. When the actuator is electrically driven and drives the blocking piece, the actuator is capable of rotating between the first position and the second position relative to the top case.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a lens module capable of thoroughly utilizing an internal space of an electronic device and reducing an outer border frame of the electronic device.

To achieve the above object, a lens module of the present invention is applied in an electronic device. The electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing and an accommodating space. The first housing has a through hole. The second housing is connected to the first housing and includes an arc edge. The accommodating space is formed between the first housing and the second housing and includes an arch area having a position corresponding to the arc edge. The lens module is located in the accommodating space and has a shape matching the accommodating space. The lens module includes a bottom case, a side case, a top case, an internal space and a photography unit. The side case is connected to the bottom case and includes an inclined surface area provided in the arc area. The top case is connected to the side case and includes a top opening aligned with the through hole. The internal space is formed between the bottom case, the side case and the top case. The photography unit is located in the internal space and is aligned with the top opening.
