ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY AND ANTENNA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18157574 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY AND ANTENNA
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device with a flexible display and a conductive plate that can slide in a perpendicular direction. The conductive plate has a slot and surrounds an antenna. The device also includes a wireless communication circuit.
- The electronic device has a housing with two surfaces, one facing forward and one facing backward.
- A conductive plate is placed on the forward-facing surface and can slide in a perpendicular direction.
- The conductive plate has a slot, and a flexible display is supported by it.
- The flexible display has a bendable area that can move according to the sliding of the conductive plate.
- The conductive plate also acts as an antenna for the wireless communication circuit.
- The wireless communication circuit can transmit and receive signals in a specific frequency band.
Potential Applications
- Smartphones and tablets with flexible displays that can slide and bend.
- Wearable devices with flexible displays that can adapt to different wrist sizes.
- E-readers with flexible displays that can be adjusted for comfortable reading.
Problems Solved
- Limited screen size and adaptability in electronic devices.
- Inefficient use of space for antennas in small devices.
- Difficulty in creating flexible displays that can be easily adjusted.
Benefits
- Increased screen size and adaptability in electronic devices.
- Improved wireless communication performance with the integrated antenna.
- Enhanced user experience with flexible displays that can be adjusted for comfort.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device comprises a housing including a first surface facing a first direction, and a second surface facing a second direction opposite to the first surface, a conductive plate disposed at the first surface of the housing to be slidable in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and including a slot, a flexible display arranged to be supported by the conductive plate and including a first area facing the first surface and a second area extending from the first area and bendable according to the sliding of the conductive plate, and a wireless communication circuit configured to transmit and/or receive a signal in a selected or designated frequency band through an antenna formed on the basis of at least a part of the conductive plate, which surrounds the slot.
