FLEXIBLE DISPLAY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18314397 titled 'FLEXIBLE DISPLAY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an example flexible display with a panel layer and a cover layer. The cover layer has a first portion and a second portion, with the first portion having a gradually decreasing thickness. The second portion includes a reinforcing portion that protrudes from the edge of the second base portion.

  • The flexible display includes a panel layer and a cover layer.
  • The cover layer has a first portion and a second portion.
  • The first portion has a first base portion and a first connecting portion with a gradually decreasing thickness.
  • The second portion has a second base portion and a reinforcing portion.
  • The reinforcing portion protrudes from the edge of the second base portion.
  • The reinforcing portion includes an edge portion and a second connecting portion with a gradually decreasing thickness.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Flexible electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches.
  • Foldable displays for portable devices.
  • Curved displays for automotive dashboards or wearable devices.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a flexible display that can withstand bending and folding without damage.
  • Reinforcing portion enhances the structural integrity of the display.
  • Gradually decreasing thickness reduces stress concentration points.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enables the development of more durable and versatile electronic devices.
  • Enhances user experience with flexible and foldable displays.
  • Increases the lifespan of electronic devices by reducing the risk of damage from bending or folding.


Original Abstract Submitted

An example flexible display includes a panel layer and a cover layer disposed on one surface of the panel layer. The cover layer includes a first portion and a second portion that extends from the first portion in a first direction. The first portion includes a first base portion having a first thickness and a first connecting portion that extends from the first base portion and has a gradually decreasing thickness. The second portion includes a second base portion that is connected with the first connecting portion and that has a second thickness smaller than the first thickness and a reinforcing portion that protrudes from an edge of the second base portion that faces in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The reinforcing portion includes an edge portion that protrudes from a partial region of the second base portion to have a third thickness and a second connecting portion that extends from the edge portion toward the second base portion and has a gradually decreasing thickness.
