DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18102119 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display device with a sliding display module and a panel storage container. The display module slides in one direction and is guided by a guide rail in that direction. The guide rail includes a first flat portion adjacent to the upper surface of the panel storage container, a second flat portion adjacent to the lower surface, and a bent portion adjacent to the side surface, connecting the first and second flat portions. The bent portion has two sections, a first bent portion with a smaller radius of curvature and a second bent portion with a larger radius of curvature.
- The display module slides in one direction and is guided by a guide rail in that direction.
- The guide rail includes a first flat portion adjacent to the upper surface of the panel storage container.
- The guide rail also includes a second flat portion adjacent to the lower surface of the panel storage container.
- The guide rail has a bent portion adjacent to the side surface of the panel storage container.
- The bent portion connects the first and second flat portions of the guide rail.
- The bent portion has two sections, a first bent portion with a smaller radius of curvature and a second bent portion with a larger radius of curvature.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Display devices with sliding modules, such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops.
- Any device that requires a sliding display module, such as automotive infotainment systems or industrial control panels.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a smooth sliding operation for the display module.
- Ensures proper alignment and stability of the display module during sliding.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved user experience with smooth and reliable sliding operation.
- Enhanced durability and longevity of the display device.
- Simplified design and manufacturing process for the guide rail.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes: a display module slid in a first direction; and a panel storage container including a guide rail guiding a sliding operation of the display module in the first direction. The display module is engaged with the guide rail in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and the guide rail includes: a first flat portion adjacent to an upper surface of the panel storage container; a second flat portion adjacent to a lower surface of the panel storage container; and a bent portion adjacent to a side surface of the panel storage container and connecting the first flat portion and the second flat portion to each other. The bent portion includes: a first bent portion bent at a first radius of curvature; and a second bent portion bent at a second radius of curvature greater than the first radius of curvature.
