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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 16971173 titled 'FLEXIBLE DISPLAY ASSEMBLY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a flexible display assembly and an electronic device that includes this assembly. The flexible display assembly consists of several layers, including a display panel layer, an un-even structure layer with protrusions and recesses, a buffer layer with a projection inserted into the recesses, and a support layer to support the buffer layer.

  • The electronic device includes a flexible display assembly.
  • The flexible display assembly consists of multiple layers.
  • The display panel layer is one of the layers in the assembly.
  • The un-even structure layer has protrusions and recesses.
  • The buffer layer is placed between the display panel layer and the un-even structure layer.
  • The buffer layer includes at least one projection that fits into the recesses of the un-even structure layer.
  • The support layer is located on one surface of the buffer layer and provides support for the buffer layer.

Potential Applications

  • Mobile phones and smartphones
  • Tablets and e-readers
  • Wearable devices such as smartwatches
  • Flexible displays for automotive applications
  • Foldable or rollable displays for portable devices

Problems Solved

  • Enables the creation of flexible displays that can be bent or curved without damaging the screen.
  • Provides a solution for maintaining the structural integrity of the display assembly when it is flexed or bent.
  • Allows for the development of innovative form factors for electronic devices.

Benefits

  • Enhanced durability and flexibility of electronic devices with the use of the flexible display assembly.
  • Enables the creation of new designs and form factors for electronic devices.
  • Provides a solution for reducing the risk of damage to the display when the device is flexed or bent.


Original Abstract Submitted

A flexible display assembly and an electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes the flexible display assembly. The flexible display assembly includes a display panel layer, an un-even structure layer, at least a part of which includes protrusions and recesses, a buffer layer arranged between the display panel layer and the un-even structure layer and including at least one projection, at least a part of which is inserted into a valley of the protrusions and recesses, and a support layer arranged on one surface of the buffer layer and formed to support at least a part of the buffer layer.
