FOLDING MECHANISM, HOUSING APPARATUS, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18250360 titled 'FOLDING MECHANISM, HOUSING APPARATUS, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a folding mechanism and an electronic device that uses this mechanism. The folding mechanism is designed to connect two housings of the electronic device and create a space to accommodate a flexible display. The mechanism ensures a stable folding action with minimal squeezing force, reducing the risk of damaging the flexible display and making it more reliable.
- The folding mechanism connects two housings of an electronic device.
- It creates a display accommodating space through automatic avoidance in the folding process.
- The flexible display is accommodated in the display accommodating space.
- The folding action performed by the housing apparatus on the flexible display is stable.
- The squeezing force applied to the flexible display is small.
- The mechanism helps reduce the risk of damaging the flexible display due to excessive squeezing.
- It improves the reliability of the flexible display.
Potential Applications
- This folding mechanism can be used in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
- It can be particularly beneficial for devices with flexible displays, allowing for a more durable and reliable folding action.
Problems Solved
- The folding mechanism solves the problem of excessive squeezing force that can damage flexible displays.
- It addresses the need for a stable folding action in electronic devices with flexible displays.
Benefits
- The folding mechanism reduces the risk of damage to flexible displays, making them more reliable.
- It provides a stable folding action, ensuring a better user experience.
- The mechanism improves the durability of electronic devices with flexible displays.
Original Abstract Submitted
This application discloses a folding mechanism and an electronic device. The folding mechanism is applied to a housing apparatus of an electronic device, and is configured to connect two housings of the housing apparatus. The folding mechanism can form display accommodating space through automatic avoidance in a folding process, and a flexible display is accommodated in the display accommodating space, so that a folding action performed by the housing apparatus on the flexible display is stable, and a squeezing force is small. This helps reduce a risk that the flexible display is damaged due to excessive squeezing of the folding mechanism, and makes the flexible display more reliable.
