ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FLEXIBLE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18075010 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FLEXIBLE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device with a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) that includes a display divided into two areas. The device has a hinge structure that allows the two areas to fold and change between a flat state and a facing state. The device also includes brackets connecting the housing and hinge structure, with openings for the FPCB to extend across the hinge structure.

  • The electronic device has a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) that allows for flexibility and durability.
  • The device includes a display divided into two areas, providing a larger screen space.
  • The hinge structure allows the device to fold and change between a flat state and a facing state, providing versatility in usage.
  • The brackets connecting the housing and hinge structure provide stability and support.
  • The FPCB extends across the hinge structure, allowing for seamless connectivity between the two areas of the display.

Potential Applications

  • Mobile phones or tablets with larger screens that can be folded for compactness.
  • E-readers or tablets with a foldable design for easy portability.
  • Gaming devices with a larger display that can be folded for convenience.
  • Laptops or notebooks with a flexible screen for improved flexibility and portability.

Problems Solved

  • Limited screen space on electronic devices can be addressed by dividing the display into two areas.
  • Traditional hinges can be bulky and limit the flexibility of foldable devices, which is solved by the hinge structure described.
  • The FPCB extending across the hinge structure solves the problem of maintaining connectivity between the two areas of the display.

Benefits

  • Increased screen space allows for better multitasking and improved user experience.
  • Foldable design provides convenience and portability.
  • The flexible printed circuit board ensures durability and flexibility.
  • The hinge structure allows for smooth folding and unfolding of the device.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) is provided. The electronic device includes a display including a first area and a second area, a first housing supporting the first area, a second housing supporting the second area, a hinge structure connecting the first housing and the second housing to be foldable about a folding axis and allowing the first area and the second area to change between a first state of forming substantially the same plane and a second state of facing each other, a first bracket connecting the first housing and the hinge structure and having a first opening penetrating through a surface thereof, a second bracket connecting the second housing and the hinge structure and having a second opening penetrating through a surface thereof, and a FPCB extending from the first space to the second space across the hinge structure in an extending direction.
