FLEXIBLE CIRCUIT FILM AND DISPLAY APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18139900 titled 'FLEXIBLE CIRCUIT FILM AND DISPLAY APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a flexible circuit film with different width wirings that bend in different directions, along with a guide film to prevent tearing and cover inner edges of the film.
- The flexible circuit film includes a first flexible film, a second flexible film, and wirings between them.
- The wirings have varying widths and bend directions, providing flexibility to the circuit.
- A guide film made of a rigid material is placed on the ends of the first flexible film to prevent tearing.
- The guide film overlaps with the bending portion of the shortest wiring and covers inner edges near the corners of the circuit film.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in flexible electronic devices, wearable technology, medical devices, and automotive applications.
Problems Solved
This innovation solves the problem of tearing in flexible circuit films, providing durability and longevity to electronic devices.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include increased flexibility, improved durability, and enhanced performance of electronic devices.
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology include flexible displays, smart clothing, medical sensors, and automotive electronics.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of guide films in flexible circuits to prevent tearing, but the specific design of overlapping with wirings and covering inner edges may be unique to this patent application.
Unanswered Questions
1. How does the guide film affect the overall flexibility of the flexible circuit film? 2. Are there any specific materials recommended for the guide film to ensure optimal tear prevention and coverage of inner edges?
Original Abstract Submitted
A flexible circuit film including a first flexible film, a second flexible film facing the first flexible film, and a plurality of wirings arranged between the first flexible film and the second flexible film. The wirings have different widths and bend in different directions, and a guide film including a material more rigid than the first and second flexible films is arranged on ends of the first flexible film. The guide film includes a tear-preventing portion overlapping with a bending portion of a shortest one of the wirings while covering portions of an inner edge near inner corners of a U-shaped flexible circuit film.
