A display device is provided, which includes a back cover and a display module. The back cover has a positioning slot. The display module includes a first frame, a panel module and at least hinge bracket. The first frame is fixed to the back cover. The panel module is fixed to the first frame. The hinge bracket is screwless-mounted to the first frame. One end of the hinge bracket is inserted into the positioning slot to fix the display module to the back cover. Besides, a method for assembling a display device is also provided.

Display device and assembling method thereof

A display module including an electronic component and a panel module is provided. The electronic component is installed inside the display module. The panel module includes a first side and a second side, and the first side includes a glass module having an electro-conductive material and a display region, wherein the glass module includes an electronic component projection area and the electronic component projection area does not contain the electro-conductive material to prevent affecting the performance of the electronic component. The electronic component projection area is an area where the electronic component is projected on the panel module along a normal direction of the display region. According to a design requirement of the product, the electronic component may be fixed to a frame combined with the panel module or located in the glass module.

A mobile electronic device includes a first body, a pivot mechanism and a second body. The pivot mechanism includes a rotating element and a supporting element. The rotating element is connected between the first body and the second body to facilitate rotating the second body relatively to the first body. The rotating element includes a guiding trench connected to the second body, and the second body is suitable for sliding relatively to the first body. The supporting element is pivoted to the rotating element or the second body. When the second body slides to drive the rotating element to a rotating position, the rotating element is rotated relatively to the first body to drive the second body for tilting from the first body, and the supporting element is suitable of rotating relatively to the rotating element or the second body to provide a supporting force to the second body.

An electronic device including a first housing, a second housing and a pivot structure is provided. The pivot structure includes a pivot shaft, a sliding component and a supporting component. The pivot shaft is pivoted on the first housing. The sliding component is disposed on the second housing. One end of the sliding component sleeves the pivot shaft, such that the second housing rotates relative to the first housing. The supporting component has a first end and a second end. The first end is pivoted to the first housing. When the second housing rotates relative to the first housing, the supporting component provides a supporting force to the second housing.

Electronic device

A rotatable camera has a motor, a lens unit comprising a photographing head and a driving rod coupled to the photographing head, a spherical bearing support for pivotally mounting the photographing head, and a rotatable disc driven in rotation motion by the motor to drive the driving rod of the lens unit move along a spiral shaped locus, and, when the motor is driven, the photographing head is at the same time driven by the driving rod to rotate and change its angular position, so that the rotatable camera employs only a single motor to drive the photographing head of the lens unit to rapidly move to the direction to be monitored, particularly, due to no time delay any corners shall be monitored by the rotatable camera.

A waterproof thermal management module for a portable electronic device that including a housing and a heat source is disclosed. The waterproof thermal management module includes a separated chamber, a heat absorber, a radiator, a heat pipe and a fan. The separated chamber is set inside the housing and has a first air channel and a second air channel, wherein the first and second air channels communicate with the outside of the housing. The heat absorber is set inside the housing for contacting the heat source. The radiator is set inside the separated chamber. The heat pipe extends from inside the housing through the wall of the separated chamber into the separated chamber and connects the heat absorber and the radiator. The cooling fan is set in the separated chamber.

Disclosed is a codec (coder/decoder) system with shadow buffers and method of performing a Power Down/Suspend mode operation on this codec system, which allows all the codecs in the codec system to know the operating status of each other so that system crash can be prevented during a power down/suspend operation. The codec system includes two or more codecs and associated codec controllers, with each codec controller including a status data buffer and a shadow buffer; and each codec controller utilizes the status data buffer therein for registering the operating status thereof and meanwhile utilizes the shadow buffer therein for storing a copy of the operating status data stored in the status data buffer of the other codec controller. The provision of the shallow buffers allows all the codecs in the codec system to be capable of knowing the operating status of each other. This feature can help prevent system crash during power down/suspend operation.

A computer chipset having reduced peripheral pins for accessing a conventional ROM in a computer system is disclosed. There is a switching circuit within the chipset. When the computer is turned on, a booting control circuit activates a booting enabling signal, so that booting programs can be accessed from the ROM through the switching circuit and are executed in a main processor. Subsequently, contents stored in the ROM are moved to a main memory and the booting enabling signal is inactivated by the booting control circuit to allow a peripheral control circuit to communicate with peripheral devices. In this way, chipset having a low pin count (LPC) interface circuit can share the peripheral pins of the chipset to access the conventional ROMs, so that the production costs can be reduced.
