Abstract

See full text

A digital picture frame having a scanning function comprises a digital picture frame, a scanning module, and a universal supporting member, wherein the universal supporting member further comprises a fixing seat, a ball, a friction unit and a support. The fixing seat is a spherical cavity formed in the digital picture frame for receiving the ball therein. The ball has a through hole penetrating a center of the ball. The friction unit is provided between the fixing seat and the ball. The support has a connecting portion at an end thereof which keeps a predetermined included angle with the support, wherein the connecting portion is connected to the through hole of the ball via an opening formed on a back panel of the digital picture frame, and the friction unit generates a predetermined frictional resistance between the fixing seat and the ball connected with the support, so that the support can change a supporting angle between the support and the digital picture frame, thereby changing a viewing angle of the digital picture frame. Moreover, the scanning module can be used to scan a picture and generate a digital image thereof for display on a display module.
