ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING ROLLABLE OR SLIDABLE DISPLAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18153673 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING ROLLABLE OR SLIDABLE DISPLAY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device with a sliding mechanism that increases or decreases the visible information display region on the device's exterior. The device consists of two housings, with the second housing sliding along the first housing. The display is fixed to the second housing and is supported by a bendable structure that moves with the sliding motion.

• The electronic device has a sliding mechanism that adjusts the visible information display region.
• The device consists of two housings, with the second housing sliding along the first housing.
• The display is fixed to the second housing and is supported by a bendable structure.
• The bendable structure moves according to the sliding motion of the second housing.
• If the second housing slides in one direction at a reference position, the information display region increases.
• If the second housing slides in the opposite direction at the reference position, the information display region decreases.

Potential Applications

• Mobile phones or tablets with adjustable screen sizes.
• E-readers with variable display areas.
• Wearable devices with adaptable information displays.

Problems Solved

• Limited screen size on electronic devices.
• Inflexible display areas that cannot be adjusted according to user preferences.
• Difficulty in accommodating different content or applications on a fixed display.

Benefits

• Increased flexibility in adjusting the visible information display region.
• Enhanced user experience by allowing customization of the display area.
• Improved versatility in accommodating various types of content or applications.

Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing slidably coupled to the first housing, a display of which at least a part is fixed to the second housing so that an information display region, which is a part of the electronic device visible on the outside, increases or decreases according to the sliding of the second housing, and a support member including a bendable structure, supporting at least a part of the display, and moving according to the sliding of the second housing, wherein, the information display region increases if the second housing slides in a first direction at a reference position at which the end of the second housing and the end of the first housing are substantially aligned, and the information display region decreases if the second housing slides in a second direction opposite to the first direction at the reference position.
