Description

Portable electronic device

The present invention relates to a portable electronic device, and more particularly to a portable electronic device having a lens module.

Generally, a portable electronic device having a lens module has a lens disposed on a frame of the screen, and is commonly disposed on a frame on the upper side. In the case of a narrow bezel design, the lens is usually placed on the lower side of the frame. This type of setting is prone to photographic dead angles, resulting in inconvenience in use.

Moreover, whether it is set on the upper or lower side of the screen, the current lens module is closed by program control. Specifically, when the user executes an application that requires image capture or video capture functions, the execution module of the lens module is simultaneously turned on, for example, when the image call application is executed, the lens module is simultaneously turned on, and if desired To close the lens module, you need to close the application or close the execution module of the lens module.

This type of design must be turned off by turning off the program. For those who prefer to use image capture functions such as photography or video recording, it is quite inconvenient to close the application each time. Therefore, some users will directly use other objects, such as stickers, to cover the lens hole, and physically shield the lens to achieve the same effect as closing the lens module, but this method will leave a sudden on the screen. trace.

In view of the above problems, the main object of the present invention is to provide a portable electronic device.
