  • Publication number: 20110110067
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a shell, a circuit board, a triggering element, a light-transmissive button and an optical sensor. The shell defines a button hole in an edge thereof and forms a receiving space therein. The circuit board module is installed in the receiving space. The triggering element is fixed on and electronically connected with the circuit board module. The light-transmissive button is received in the button hole, and is depressible for turning on and off the triggering element. The optical sensor is positioned beneath the light-transmissive button for detecting intensity of the ambient light passing through the light-transmissive button. The appearance of the electronic device is not affected by the optical sensor.

  • Patent number: 7899503
    Abstract: A mobile phone (100) includes a base (10), a cover (20) and a connecting apparatus (30). The cover is rotatably mounted on the base. The connecting apparatus connects the cover to the base. Either of the base and the cover defines a leading pole (24) and another of them defines a leading groove (14) corresponding to the leading pole. The leading pole slides in the leading groove and is selectively retained in at least two places.

  • Patent number: 7656662
    Abstract: A dual sliding portable electronic device (100) includes a main body (20), a sliding body (10) and a dual sliding assembly (30). The main body includes a first key array (231), a second key array (232), and a third key array (233) disposed on a top surface (21). The sliding body includes an upper surface (11), a display (13) disposed on the upper surface, and a bottom surface (12) at an opposite side of the upper surface. The dual sliding assembly slidingly connects the bottom surface of sliding body to the top surface of the main body, and is configured to direct the sliding body to slide along a first direction to reveal both of the second key array and the third key array, and along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction to reveal both of the first key array and the second key array.

  • Publication number: 20080298025
    Abstract: A sliding cover mechanism (100) includes a static member (10), a sliding member (20) and a flexible circuit board (60). The static member includes a receiving portion (101). The sliding member is movably mounted on the static member. One end of the flexible circuit board is mounted on the static member and another end of the flexible circuit board is mounted on the sliding member. The flexible circuit board is transformed and partly received in the receiving portion when the sliding member is moved on the static member.
