FLEXIBLE DISPLAY APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17963106 titled 'FLEXIBLE DISPLAY APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a flexible display apparatus that includes multiple films and a display unit encapsulated between them. The key features of the invention are as follows:
- The apparatus consists of a first film with a first surface and a second surface, and a first groove formed in the first surface. The first film has a certain rigidity.
- A third film is placed on the second surface of the first film.
- A fourth film is positioned facing the third film.
- An emission display unit is located between the third film and the fourth film, and is encapsulated by them.
- A second film is placed on the fourth film and faces the first film. The second film has a lower rigidity compared to the first film.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Flexible electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches.
- Foldable or rollable displays for portable devices.
- Curved or flexible displays for automotive dashboards or infotainment systems.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Traditional rigid displays are limited in terms of design and form factor.
- Flexible displays allow for more versatile and innovative device designs.
- The invention provides a solution for protecting the display unit while maintaining flexibility.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased durability and resistance to damage due to the encapsulation of the display unit.
- Enhanced flexibility and adaptability of electronic devices.
- Enables the creation of new and unique form factors for consumer electronics.
