ANTENNA STRUCTURE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17866101 titled 'ANTENNA STRUCTURE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device with a flexible display and a slide-out mechanism. The device consists of a first housing with conductive and non-conductive portions, a second housing that guides the slide movement, and a flexible display that is connected to the first housing.
- The electronic device has a first housing with conductive and non-conductive portions.
- The second housing accommodates the first housing and guides its slide movement.
- The flexible display is connected to the first housing and can be bent or rolled.
- When the first housing slides out from the second housing, the conductive portions of both housings are spaced apart.
- In the slide-in state, the non-conductive portion of the first housing overlaps the second conductive portion.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Smartphones or tablets with a slide-out keyboard or additional display area.
- Wearable devices with a flexible display that can be rolled or bent around the wrist.
- Foldable laptops or e-readers with a flexible display for compact storage.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a compact and flexible design for electronic devices.
- Allows for additional display area or input options without increasing the overall size.
- Enables the creation of wearable devices with a comfortable and customizable fit.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced user experience with a larger display area or additional input options.
- Improved portability and convenience with a compact and flexible design.
- Increased durability with a flexible display that can withstand bending or rolling.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device according to various embodiments of the disclosure may include: a first housing including a first conductive portion, a first non-conductive portion, and a first segmented portion extending from the first conductive portion, a second housing configured to accommodate at least a portion of the first housing and to guide a slide movement of the first housing, the second housing including a second conductive portion, and a flexible display including a first area connected to the first housing and a second area extending from the first area and configured to be bendable or rollable, wherein, from a slide-in state to a slide-out state of the first housing with respect to the second housing, the first conductive portion and the second conductive portion may be spaced apart from each other, and in the slide-in state of the first housing with respect to the second housing, at least a portion of the first non-conductive portion may overlap the second conductive portion.
