ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING MAGNET ARRAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18149497 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING MAGNET ARRAY

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device with a foldable housing and a hinge structure. The device includes a first housing and a second housing connected to the hinge structure. The first housing has a first surface facing one direction, a second surface facing the opposite direction, and a first side surrounding the space between the first and second surfaces. The second housing has a third surface facing one direction, a fourth surface facing the opposite direction, and a second side. When the device is folded, the first surface faces the third surface, and when unfolded, the third direction is the same as the first direction. The device also includes a flexible display extending from the first and third surfaces, and a magnet array.

• Foldable housing with a hinge structure
• First housing with a first surface, a second surface, and a first side
• Second housing with a third surface, a fourth surface, and a second side
• Flexible display extending from the first and third surfaces
• Magnet array included in the device

Potential Applications

• Mobile phones with foldable screens
• Tablets with foldable displays
• Portable electronic devices with flexible screens

Problems Solved

• Provides a compact and portable electronic device with a foldable housing
• Allows for a larger display area without increasing the overall size of the device
• Enhances the user experience by providing a flexible display that can be easily folded and unfolded

Benefits

• Increased screen size when unfolded, providing a better viewing experience
• Compact and portable design when folded, making it easier to carry
• Durable and flexible display that can withstand folding and unfolding without damage
