ELECTRONIC APPARATUS COMPRISING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18061643 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS COMPRISING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device with a flexible display that includes a flat part and a curved part. The display consists of a first section with pixels along the flat and curved parts, and a second section bent between the first section and a support plate. A display driving circuit is located in the second section.

  • The electronic device has a flexible display that can be bent and curved.
  • The display is divided into two sections: a first section with pixels and a second section with a display driving circuit.
  • The second section is bent and placed between the first section and a support plate.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Flexible smartphones or tablets with curved screens.
  • Wearable devices with flexible displays that can wrap around the wrist or other body parts.
  • Foldable displays for portable devices that can be easily stored or carried.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Traditional rigid displays limit the design and form factor of electronic devices.
  • Flexible displays allow for more versatile and innovative designs.
  • The inclusion of a display driving circuit in the bent section enables seamless integration of the flexible display.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced user experience with devices that can be bent or curved to fit different needs.
  • Increased durability and resistance to damage due to the flexibility of the display.
  • Improved portability and convenience with foldable or wearable devices.
