DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18141108 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a display device with a protective film containing a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) compound, with a break elongation of 20% or more.

  • The display device includes a display panel with a non-folding area and a foldable area.
  • A protective film, located under the display panel, contains a POSS compound.
  • The protective film has a break elongation of at least 20%.

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in:

  • Foldable electronic devices
  • Flexible displays for wearables
  • Ruggedized screens for industrial use

Problems Solved

  • Increased durability of foldable displays
  • Enhanced protection against scratches and impacts
  • Improved flexibility without sacrificing strength

Benefits

  • Longer lifespan of foldable devices
  • Reduced need for screen replacements
  • Enhanced user experience with more durable displays

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Smartphone and tablet manufacturers
  • Wearable technology companies
  • Industrial equipment producers

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of protective films with different compounds for display devices.

Unanswered Questions

How does the break elongation of the protective film impact the overall durability of the display device?

The break elongation of the protective film is crucial for ensuring the flexibility and strength of the display device. A higher break elongation can indicate better resistance to bending and folding, leading to a more durable product.

Are there any specific manufacturing processes required to incorporate the POSS compound into the protective film?

The process of integrating the POSS compound into the protective film may involve specialized techniques to ensure uniform distribution and adhesion to the display panel. Understanding these manufacturing requirements is essential for mass production and commercialization of the technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

A display device includes: a display panel having a non-folding area and a foldable area adjacent to the non-folding area; and a protective film disposed under the display panel, including a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) compound, and having a break elongation of about 20% or more.
