US Patent 10511698 Electronic device having hidden region and control method thereof

An electronic device having a hidden region and a control method thereof are provided. The electronic device includes a display screen and a hidden region located in the display screen. The display screen includes a display layer and a dimming layer located below the display layer. The hidden region includes multiple functional elements. The functional elements are disposed below the dimming layer. When the dimming layer receives a first signal, the dimming layer corresponding to the hidden region becomes transparent. The functional elements are in a visible state. When the light-adjusting receives a second signal, the dimming layer corresponding to the hidden region becomes opaque. The functional elements are in a hidden state. By disposing the functional elements below the hidden region, the problem that the electronic device cannot achieve full screen can be solved.
