DISPLAY DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17858485 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display device that includes a display panel, a lower module, a flexible circuit film, and a conductive adhesive tape. The display panel has a folding area and two non-folding areas. The lower module is positioned beneath the display panel. The flexible circuit film is connected to the display panel and extends onto the rear surface of the lower module. The conductive adhesive tape is placed between the lower module and the flexible circuit film. The conductive adhesive tape consists of a conductive nonwoven fabric layer, a first conductive adhesive layer, and a second conductive adhesive layer. The first conductive adhesive layer is located between the conductive nonwoven fabric layer and the flexible circuit film, while the second conductive adhesive layer is situated between the conductive nonwoven fabric layer and the lower module.
- The display device includes a folding area, allowing for flexible use and storage.
- The conductive adhesive tape provides a secure and reliable connection between the lower module and the flexible circuit film.
- The use of a conductive nonwoven fabric layer in the adhesive tape enhances conductivity and stability.
- The arrangement of the flexible circuit film on the rear surface of the lower module allows for efficient use of space and improved flexibility.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various electronic devices that require flexible displays, such as:
- Foldable smartphones and tablets
- Flexible e-readers
- Wearable devices with flexible screens
Problems Solved
The display device addresses the following issues:
- Ensuring a reliable connection between the lower module and the flexible circuit film in a folding display.
- Providing flexibility and durability in a display device.
- Efficient use of space in a compact electronic device.
Benefits

- Enhanced flexibility and durability in electronic devices with folding displays.
- Improved space utilization and design possibilities in compact devices.
- Reliable and secure connection between components in a folding display.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes a display panel, a lower module, a flexible circuit film, and a conductive adhesive tape. The display panel includes a first non-folding area, a second non-folding area, and a folding area. The lower module is disposed under the display panel. The flexible circuit film is coupled to the display panel, and a portion of the flexible circuit film is disposed on a rear surface of the lower module. The conductive adhesive tape is disposed between the lower module and the flexible circuit film. The conductive adhesive tape includes a conductive nonwoven fabric layer, a first conductive adhesive layer, and a second conductive adhesive layer. The first conductive adhesive layer is disposed between the conductive nonwoven fabric layer and the flexible circuit film, and the second conductive adhesive layer is disposed between the conductive nonwoven fabric layer and the lower module.
