DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18205816 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a display apparatus that includes a display with three regions (upper, lower, and intermediate), two rollers for rolling the upper and lower regions, two drums for supporting the rollers, a main body where the intermediate region is located, and two links connecting the drums to the main body. A driver is used to rotate the links and drums in opposite directions. The first drum has grooves for the first roller, and the second drum has grooves for the second roller.
- The display apparatus is designed to roll the upper and lower regions of the display around the first and second rollers.
- The main body holds the intermediate region of the display on its front surface.
- The first and second links connect the drums to the main body and allow for rotation.
- The driver rotates the links and drums in opposite directions, facilitating the rolling of the display.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This display apparatus can be used in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops.
- It can provide a compact and space-saving design for devices with foldable or rollable displays.
- The apparatus allows for easy and convenient storage or transportation of the device.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The display apparatus solves the problem of limited space in electronic devices by providing a rollable display.
- It addresses the need for compact and portable devices with flexible displays.
- The apparatus eliminates the need for separate protective cases or covers for the display.
Benefits of this technology:
- The rollable display allows for a larger screen size without increasing the overall size of the device.
- It provides flexibility and durability, reducing the risk of display damage.
- The compact design enhances portability and convenience for users.
