In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with specific embodiments of the present disclosure and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

The technical solutions disclosed in each embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a terminal device, which includes a housing (not shown in the figure), a display assembly 100, an optical device 200, a secondary display assembly 300, and a double-sided mirror 400.

The housing is the installation basis for other parts of the terminal device, and the housing may specifically include a middle frame. The display assembly 100 is arranged on the housing, and specifically may be arranged on the middle frame. The display assembly 100 has a light-through hole 110. The display assembly 100 may include a display screen 120 and a light-transmitting cover 130, and the light-transmitting cover 130 may cover the top of the display 120. Specifically, the light-passing hole 110 may be a circular hole, or may be a hole of other shapes, which is not limited herein.

The optical device 200 is disposed in the housing, and the optical device 200 can emit light or can receive light. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the optical device 200 may include at least one of a camera, a sensor, and a fill light, and the optical device 200 may also include other devices capable of emitting light or receiving light. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the optical device 200 is opposite to the light-passing hole 110, so the light in the external environment can enter the optical device 200 through the light-passing hole 110, or the light emitted by the optical device 200 can pass the light-passing hole 110 Projected. The position of the light-passing hole 110 of the display assembly 100 can be selected according to the specific form of the optical device 200. For example, the light-passing hole 110 can be located on the top of the display assembly 100, specifically the upper left corner, the upper right corner or the middle of the display assembly 100. .

The auxiliary display assembly 300 is disposed in the housing, and the auxiliary display assembly 300 has a display function. The double-sided mirror 400 is also arranged in the housing. The double-sided mirror 400 has a reflective surface facing the sub-display assembly 300. Therefore, it can reflect the information displayed by the sub-display assembly 300 to the light-passing hole 110. The information displayed by the sub-display assembly 300 can be seen on the exterior surface. At the same time, the light in the external environment can pass through the light hole 110 and pass through the double-sided mirror 400, and then enter the optical device 200, or the light emitted by the optical device 200 can pass through the double-sided mirror 400 and then pass through the double-sided mirror 400. The light hole 110 shoots out. In other words, even if the double-sided mirror 400 is located between the optical device 200 and the light-passing hole 110, light can be transmitted between the optical device 200 and the light-passing hole 110.
