ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18155355 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY

Simplified Explanation

An electronic device with a foldable housing and a flexible display is described in this patent application. The foldable housing has a front surface and a rear surface, while the flexible display is located inside the housing. The front cover of the housing, which forms the front surface of the device, is combined with the flexible display. The front cover has a pattern with periodic openings or recesses that correspond to the folding portion of the housing or are provided on the surface facing the flexible display. The flexible display has sub-pixels that emit light of the same wavelength and are arranged in the same direction as the openings or recesses in the front cover.

• The electronic device has a foldable housing and a flexible display.
• The flexible display is located inside the foldable housing.
• The front cover of the housing is combined with the flexible display.
• The front cover has a pattern with periodic openings or recesses.
• The openings or recesses correspond to the folding portion of the housing or are provided on the surface facing the flexible display.
• The flexible display has sub-pixels that emit light of the same wavelength.
• The sub-pixels are arranged in the same direction as the openings or recesses in the front cover.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Foldable smartphones or tablets with flexible displays.
