Publication number: 20200236801Abstract: An electronic device includes a first body, a second body, a hinge mechanism, two driving mechanisms, at least two lifting mechanisms, and a flexible panel. The first body is connected to the second body through the hinge mechanism. The two driving mechanisms are disposed in the first and second bodies, respectively, and the hinge mechanism is connected to the two driving mechanisms. The lifting mechanisms are respectively disposed in the first body and the second body, and each lifting mechanism is connected to the corresponding driving mechanism. The hinge mechanism is configured to drive the two driving mechanisms which respectively drive the two lifting mechanisms to ascend or descend. The flexible panel includes a first bonding portion secured to the first body, a second bonding portion secured to the second body, and a bending portion between the first and second bonding portions. The bending portion contacts the two lifting mechanisms.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2020Publication date: July 23, 2020Applicant: COMPAL ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventors: Cheng-Shiue Jan, Wei-Hao Lan, Pai-Feng Chen, Han-Tsai Liu, Ying-Hua Chiang, Jyh-Chyang Tzou

Publication number: 20200201400Abstract: An electronic device includes a first body, a second body, a hinge structure, an ascending/descending mechanism, and a flexible screen. The hinge structure is located between the first body and the second body, and the first body is connected to the second body through the hinge structure. At least one of the first body and the second body has an accommodating space. The ascending/descending mechanism is disposed in the accommodating space and connected to the hinge structure. The flexible screen includes a first bonding portion fixed to the first body, a second bonding portion fixed to the second body, and a bending portion located between the first and second bonding portions. The bending portion is aligned to the hinge structure and the ascending/descending mechanism. The ascending/descending mechanism is driven by the hinge structure to ascend or descend, so that the bending portion moves out of or into the accommodating space.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2019Publication date: June 25, 2020Applicant: COMPAL ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventors: Cheng-Shiue Jan, Wei-Hao Lan, Pai-Feng Chen, Han-Tsai Liu, Ying-Hua Chiang, Jyh-Chyang Tzou

Publication number: 20190327544Abstract: An electronic device includes a first body, a second body, and a speaker module. The first body includes a first housing and a second housing disposed on the first housing. The second body is pivotally connected to the first body. The speaker module is movably disposed in the first body. The first body has a first surface and a second surface, and the first surface and the second surface are respectively located at two opposite sides of the speaker module. When the speaker module is abutted against the first surface, the speaker module resonates with the first housing to emit a first sound. When the speaker module is abutted against the second surface, the speaker module resonates with the second housing to emit a second sound.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2019Publication date: October 24, 2019Applicant: COMPAL ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventors: Hsin Yeh, Jyh-Chyang Tzou, Cheng-Ya Chi, Pai-Feng Chen

Patent number: 10208842Abstract: A linkage mechanism includes a pivot assembly, a gear assembly, and a linkage assembly. The pivot assembly pivots around a first rotation axis. The gear assembly is pivoted with the pivot assembly and moves in conjunction with the pivot assembly. The gear assembly includes a cam, and the cam pivots around a second rotation axis. The second rotation axis is not parallel to the first rotation axis. The linkage assembly is disposed at a side of the gear assembly and contacts the cam. When the pivot assembly drives the gear assembly to pivot, the linkage assembly abuts against the cam to produce a relative movement with the cam.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2017Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: COMPAL ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventors: Pai-Feng Chen, Mao-Da Chen, Chih-Hsueh Tsai
