FOLDABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING HEALTH OF DISPLAY ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18168196 titled 'FOLDABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING HEALTH OF DISPLAY ASSEMBLY
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for determining the health of a display assembly in a foldable electronic device.
- The method involves detecting a sequence of folds of the display assembly and determining parameters associated with these folds.
- It also involves determining parameters associated with a concentrated load on the display assembly.
- A residual stress for the display assembly is then calculated based on these parameters.
- The health of the display assembly is determined based on the calculated residual stress.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in the manufacturing process of foldable electronic devices to ensure the quality and reliability of the display assembly.
- It can also be used in the maintenance and repair of foldable electronic devices to assess the health of the display assembly and identify any potential issues.
Problems Solved
- Foldable electronic devices often face challenges related to the durability and longevity of the display assembly.
- This method helps in identifying any stress or damage caused by repeated folding and concentrated loads on the display assembly.
- By determining the health of the display assembly, potential issues can be addressed early on, leading to improved performance and longevity of the device.
Benefits
- The method provides a systematic approach to assess the health of a foldable electronic device's display assembly.
- By detecting and analyzing the parameters associated with folds and concentrated loads, potential issues can be identified and addressed.
- This can lead to improved reliability, durability, and overall performance of foldable electronic devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for determining a health of a display assembly of a foldable electronic device is provided. The method includes detecting a sequence of folds of the display assembly of the foldable electronic device. Further, the method includes determining a first plurality of parameters associated with the sequence of folds of the display assembly.
