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.
