ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING ELECTROSTATIC INDUCTION STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17989278 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING ELECTROSTATIC INDUCTION STRUCTURE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device with a foldable design and a flexible display panel. The device consists of two housings connected by a hinge, allowing it to be folded. The display panel is supported by the second housing and includes a flexible display, a window layer, and a bending portion that extends outwardly. A conductive plate is placed beneath the display panel and is electrically connected to the ground. The bending portion of the display panel is electrically connected to the rear surface of the conductive plate. The conductive plate has exposed portions that extend further outward than the edge of the display panel around the bending portion.
- The electronic device has a foldable design with a flexible display panel.
- The display panel is supported by the second housing through a hinge device.
- A conductive plate is placed beneath the display panel and is electrically connected to the ground.
- The bending portion of the display panel is electrically connected to the rear surface of the conductive plate.
- The conductive plate has exposed portions that extend further outward than the edge of the display panel around the bending portion.
Potential Applications
