Abstract

A head mounted electronic device includes a casing assembly. The casing assembly includes an inner surface and an outer surface opposite to each other. The inner surface includes at least one inner hole, and the outer surface includes at least one outer hole. The inner hole and the outer hole are connected through and misaligned with each other. The application further discloses a head mounted electronic device cushion.

Background

The application relates to an electronic device and an electronic device cushion, and more particularly, to a head mounted electronic device and a head mounted electronic device cushion.

With the development of technology industries, the styles, the functions and the usages of the electronic devices have become more and more diverse, and thus wearable electronic devices which can be directly worn on a user’s body have also been introduced. There are many types of head mounted electronic device; using an eye mask type head mounted electronic device for an instance, after the user wears on this type of electronic device, in addition to seeing a three-dimensional image, the image may also change along with a rotation of the user’s head, thereby providing the user with a more immersive feeling.

However, this type of head mounted electronic device may cause the user to feel hot and stuffy, under a long-term wearing because a portion of the head mounted electronic device in contact with the user is prone to produce moisture, possibly, due to sweating or rising in body temperature of the user. Moreover, if the head mounted electronic device can display an image, then in order for the user to have a better experience, light leakage must also be paid attention to during the course of use so as to avoid an influence on image quality.

Summary

The application provides a head mounted electronic device, which can discharge moisture and has a lower degree of light leakage.

The application provides a head mounted electronic device cushion, which can discharge moisture and has a lower degree of light leakage.

A head mounted electronic device of the application includes a casing assembly, including an inner surface and an outer surface opposite to each other, wherein the inner surface includes at least one inner hole, the outer surface includes at least one outer hole, and the inner hole and the outer hole are connected through and misaligned with each other.

A head mounted electronic device cushion of the application is adapted to be disposed on a head mounted electronic device, and the head mounted electronic device includes an electronic body and a supporting portion connected to the electronic body. The head mounted electronic device cushion is adapted to be disposed on the supporting portion, the head mounted electronic device cushion includes a cushion inner hole and a cushion outer hole located at two opposite sides, and the cushion inner hole and the cushion outer hole are connected through and misaligned with each other.

In view of the above, the head mounted electronic device of the application, with the design of disposing the inner hole and the outer hole respectively on the inner surface and the outer surface of the casing assembly and connecting through the inner hole with the outer hole, enables the moisture to flow from the inner hole, towards the outer hole and to be discharged from the head mounted electronic device when a user wears the head mounted electronic device. Therefore, the user is less likely to feel hot and stuffy. In addition, since the inner hole and the outer hole are misaligned, light is less prone to be directly irradiated into the inner hole from the outer hole, and thus the head mounted electronic device has a lower degree of light leakage. Moreover, the head mounted electronic device cushion of the application has the cushion inner hole and the cushion outer hole, and the design of connecting through the cushion inner hole with the cushion outer hole enables the moisture to flow from the cushion inner hole, towards the cushion outer hole and to be discharged. Therefore, the user is less likely to feel hot and stuffy. Furthermore, since the cushion inner hole and the cushion outer hole are misaligned, light is less prone to be directly irradiated into the cushion inner hole from the cushion outer hole, thereby resulting in a lower degree of light leakage.
