ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING ELECTRONIC COMPONENT ARRANGEMENT STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18096777 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING ELECTRONIC COMPONENT ARRANGEMENT STRUCTURE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device with a first housing and a second housing that can slide together. The first housing has a bendable support and a flexible display. The second housing has at least one electronic component and a bendable electrical connection. When the device is in a slide-in state, the first and third sides of the first housing are hidden inside the second housing, and the electronic component is not obstructed by the sides.

• The electronic device has a first housing and a second housing that can slide together.
• The first housing has a bendable support and a flexible display.
• The second housing has at least one electronic component and a bendable electrical connection.
• When the device is in a slide-in state, the first and third sides of the first housing are hidden inside the second housing.
• The electronic component is not obstructed by the sides in the slide-in state.

Potential Applications

• Mobile phones with sliding displays.
• Tablets with hidden components.
• Laptops with flexible screens.

Problems Solved

• Provides a compact design for electronic devices with sliding mechanisms.
• Ensures that the electronic components are not obstructed when the device is in a closed position.
• Allows for a flexible display without compromising the functionality of the device.

Benefits

• Improved portability and convenience.
• Enhanced durability with the bendable support and electrical connection.
• Sleek and aesthetically pleasing design.

Original Abstract Submitted

According to various embodiments, an electronic device comprises: a first housing including a first space formed through a first side member comprising a first side, a second side extending in a direction perpendicular to the first side, and a third side extending from the second side in parallel with the first side; a second housing slidably coupled to the first housing along a first direction and comprising a second space formed through a second side member; a bendable support connected to the first housing, is, in a slide-in state, at least partially accommodated into the second space, and in a slide-out state, forms a side at least partially coplanar with the first housing; a flexible display supported through the first housing and the bendable support; at least one electronic component disposed in the second space and in communication with an external environment through a first opening formed in at least a portion of the second side member in the slide-in state; and a bendable electrical connection member configured to connect the electronic component to the first space, wherein in the slide-in state, at least a portion of the first side and the third side are accommodated in the second space so as not to be visible from the outside, and the at least one electronic component may be disposed at a position not interfered with by the first side and/or the second side in the slide-in state.
