WINDOW AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17885884 titled 'WINDOW AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a window for an electronic device that has a non-folding portion and two folding portions. The first folding portion can be folded with a smaller radius of curvature than the second folding portion. The first folding portion is also thinner than the second folding portion.
- The window for an electronic device has a non-folding portion and two folding portions.
- The first folding portion can be folded with a smaller radius of curvature than the second folding portion.
- The first folding portion is thinner than the second folding portion.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various electronic devices that require a flexible and foldable window, such as:
- Foldable smartphones
- Foldable tablets
- Flexible displays
- Wearable devices
Problems Solved
The innovation addresses the following problems:
- Providing a window that can be folded without damaging the electronic device.
- Allowing for different degrees of curvature in different parts of the window.
- Ensuring that the folding portions are thin enough to maintain the overall thickness of the device.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Increased durability and flexibility of electronic devices.
- Improved user experience with foldable devices.
- Enhanced design possibilities for future electronic devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
A window, which is a cover window for an electronic device and has an upper surface and a lower surface opposite to each other in a thickness direction, includes a non-folding portion including a first non-folding portion, a second non-folding portion, and a third non-folding portion spaced apart from one another, a first folding portion disposed between the first non-folding portion and the second non-folding portion and foldable to have a first radius of curvature, and a second folding portion disposed between the second non-folding portion and the third non-folding portion and foldable to have a second radius of curvature greater than the first radius of curvature, and the first folding portion is thinner than the second folding portion.
