FOLDABLE DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18243643 titled 'FOLDABLE DISPLAY DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a display device with a flexible display module that can be folded. The device includes a display panel with a light-emitting device and a sensor unit. The sensor unit can detect pressure when the display module is folded.

  • The display device has a flexible display module that can be folded.
  • The display panel of the device includes a light-emitting device and a sensor unit.
  • The sensor unit is capable of sensing pressure when the display module is folded.
  • The pressure is detected when one portion of the display surface faces another portion in the folded-in mode.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Foldable smartphones or tablets with a flexible display that can detect pressure when folded.
  • E-book readers with a flexible display that can sense pressure when folded, allowing for more interactive reading experiences.
  • Wearable devices with a flexible display that can detect pressure when bent, providing new ways of interacting with the device.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Traditional display devices are rigid and cannot be folded, limiting their portability and versatility.
  • Previous flexible display devices lacked the ability to sense pressure when folded, limiting their functionality and user experience.
  • This technology solves the problem of providing a flexible display that can detect pressure in a folded-in mode, expanding the possibilities for user interaction.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased portability and versatility due to the ability to fold the display device.
  • Enhanced user experience with the ability to detect pressure when the device is folded, allowing for new forms of interaction.
  • Opens up new possibilities for design and form factors in electronic devices with flexible displays.


Original Abstract Submitted

A display device including a flexible display module and providing a display surface on which an image is displayed. The flexible display module includes a display panel including a light-emitting device and a sensor unit disposed on the display panel. The sensor unit senses pressure applied to the flexible display module in a folded-in mode in which the flexible display module is folded such that a portion of the display surface faces another portion of the display surface.
