DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18179937 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display apparatus that includes a display layer with scan lines, data lines, and pixels. The display layer has two areas - a first area exposed to the outside in both a closed and open state, and a second area that extends from the first area in a specific direction.
- The display apparatus includes a scan-driving circuit connected to the scan lines.
- It also includes deformation sensors arranged in the same direction as the second area, with resistance values corresponding to the shapes of the display layer.
- Deformation sensor drivers are connected to the deformation sensors and drive them along the first direction.
- A driving circuit is included to measure the resistance values of the deformation sensors.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Flexible displays: The display apparatus can be used in flexible displays that can be bent or folded without affecting the functionality of the display.
- Wearable devices: The technology can be applied to wearable devices such as smartwatches or fitness trackers, providing a flexible and durable display.
- Automotive displays: The display apparatus can be used in car dashboards or infotainment systems, allowing for curved or flexible displays that can withstand vibrations and shocks.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Durability: The display apparatus with deformation sensors can withstand bending or folding without damaging the display layer.
- Flexibility: The technology allows for the creation of flexible displays that can be used in various applications.
- Sensing capability: The deformation sensors provide information about the shape and deformation of the display layer, enabling adaptive responses or adjustments.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved user experience: The flexible display allows for new form factors and designs, enhancing the user experience.
- Increased durability: The display apparatus can withstand bending or folding, making it more resistant to damage.
- Adaptive functionality: The deformation sensors provide valuable information about the shape of the display layer, enabling adaptive responses or adjustments.
