Abstract
A portable electronic device includes a shell, an image capturing assembly, a signal processing circuit, and a connection plate. The shell defines a first annular shaped guiding slot. The image capturing assembly includes a camera module. The camera module includes a substrate and a flexible circuit board (FPC). The FPC has one end connected to the substrate and another end electrically coupled to the signal processing circuit. The connection plate includes a first plate positioned on the shell and a second plate perpendicular to the first plate. A second guiding slot is defined on the second plate and aligned with the first guiding slot on the shell. The connection plate, the shell, the first and second annular guiding slots cooperatively define a laid-down T-shaped receiving groove, the image capturing assembly is received in the T-shaped groove and is slidable along the T-shaped groove.
