  • Publication number: 20120105714
    Abstract: An image capture module of a handheld electronic device is provided. In the image capture module, a spherical casing cooperates with a fixing cover and accommodates a camera module. The spherical casing is fixed in a casing of the electronic device by the fixing cover. Thus, the spherical casing can rotate transversely. In addition, the fixing cover has a slot to allow a connecting wire of the camera module to pass through, and thus, the spherical casing may rotate in the fixing cover.

  • Patent number: 8150456
    Abstract: A mobile phone with camera includes a body, a display module, two support arms and a camera. The body has a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is perpendicular to the second surface, and the first surface has a concave section, which has two parallel sliding slots on two opposite sidewalls thereof. Each of the support arms has one end pivotally connected with the first surface and the other end pivotally connected with the display module such that the display module can be rotated relative to the body and slid along the two parallel sliding slots so as to have the display module selectively laid against the first surface or form an angle between the display module and the second surface. The camera is disposed on the second surface for snapping images to be displayed on the display module.

  • Publication number: 20090233659
    Abstract: A portable electronic device including a body, an elastic pivot, a sleeve and an upper lid is provided. The body includes a datum plane. The elastic pivot is disposed in the body. The sleeve is disposed on the elastic pivot. The upper lid includes a groove, and the groove includes a first position and a second position. The sleeve enters the groove and slides between the first position and the second position. When the sleeve is in the first position, the upper lid is in a first direction and parallel with the datum plane. When the sleeve is in the second position, the elastic pivot rotates the upper lid to a second direction relative to the datum plane by an elastic force.
