==FLEXIBLE DISPLAY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18314397 titled 'FLEXIBLE DISPLAY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an example flexible display with a panel layer and a cover layer. The cover layer has a first portion and a second portion, with the first portion having a gradually decreasing thickness. The second portion includes a reinforcing portion that protrudes from the edge of the second base portion.

* The flexible display includes a panel layer and a cover layer.
* The cover layer has a first portion and a second portion.
* The first portion has a first base portion and a first connecting portion with a gradually decreasing thickness.
* The second portion has a second base portion and a reinforcing portion.
* The reinforcing portion protrudes from the edge of the second base portion.
* The reinforcing portion includes an edge portion and a second connecting portion with a gradually decreasing thickness.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Flexible electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches.
* Foldable displays for portable devices.
* Curved displays for automotive dashboards or wearable devices.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Provides a flexible display that can withstand bending and folding without damage.
* Reinforcing portion enhances the structural integrity of the display.
* Gradually decreasing thickness reduces stress concentration points.

Benefits of this technology:

* Enables the development of more durable and versatile electronic devices.
* Enhances user experience with flexible and foldable displays.
* Increases the lifespan of electronic devices by reducing the risk of damage from bending or folding.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An example flexible display includes a panel layer and a cover layer disposed on one surface of the panel layer. The cover layer includes a first portion and a second portion that extends from the first portion in a first direction. The first portion includes a first base portion having a first thickness and a first connecting portion that extends from the first base portion and has a gradually decreasing thickness. The second portion includes a second base portion that is connected with the first connecting portion and that has a second thickness smaller than the first thickness and a reinforcing portion that protrudes from an edge of the second base portion that faces in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The reinforcing portion includes an edge portion that protrudes from a partial region of the second base portion to have a third thickness and a second connecting portion that extends from the edge portion toward the second base portion and has a gradually decreasing thickness.
