ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING STRUCTURE FOR SUPPORTING DISPLAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18217092 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING STRUCTURE FOR SUPPORTING DISPLAY
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device with a sliding mechanism and a display that includes a deformable region. The device also includes a support plate with rigid and flexible regions.
- The electronic device has a sliding mechanism that allows the second housing to slide with respect to the first housing.
- The display of the device includes a planar region and a deformable region that is in contact with the planar region.
- The support plate of the device is responsible for supporting the display.
- The support plate has rigid regions and a flexible region, with the flexible region including a plurality of openings.
- The support plate consists of a first layer with first openings in the flexible region and a second layer with second openings that partially overlap the first openings.
- The second layer is placed on top of the first layer.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This sliding mechanism can be used in smartphones, tablets, or other electronic devices that require a compact design.
- The deformable region of the display can be utilized for touch-sensitive or pressure-sensitive interactions.
- The support plate design allows for flexibility and durability, making it suitable for various portable electronic devices.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The sliding mechanism provides a convenient way to access different parts of the device without the need for separate components.
- The deformable region of the display enhances user interaction by enabling touch or pressure-based input.
- The support plate design ensures the stability and longevity of the display.
Benefits of this technology:
- The sliding mechanism offers a compact and space-saving design for electronic devices.
- The deformable region of the display enhances user experience and expands the range of possible interactions.
- The support plate design provides flexibility and durability, ensuring the longevity of the device.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device according to an embodiment includes a first housing, a second housing coupled to the first housing so as to be slidable with respect to the first housing, a display including a planar region and a deformable region in contact with the planar region, and a support plate configured to supporting the display. The support plate includes rigid regions and a flexible region disposed between the rigid regions and including a plurality of openings. The support plate further includes a first layer including a plurality of first openings in the flexible region, and a second layer disposed on the first layer and including a plurality of second openings partially overlapping each of the plurality of first openings in the flexible region. Other embodiments are also possible.
