  • Patent number: 11592866
    Abstract: A functional assembly and an electronic device including the functional assembly are provided. The functional assembly includes a functional module, a motor, and a linking mechanism. The functional module has a first shaft. The motor has a second shaft and is configured to drive the second shaft to rotate. The linking mechanism is connected with the first shaft and the second shaft such that the first shaft and the second shaft are linking-up with each other. As a result, the thickness of the electronic device near the frame is not limited by the size of the motor, which further reduces the thickness of the electronic device.
