DISPLAY DEVICE AND PANEL STORAGE CONTAINER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18333707 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND PANEL STORAGE CONTAINER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a display device with a bendable area that can be stored in a panel storage container. The bendable area includes an active area, a dummy bending area, and a dummy flat area, allowing for bending with a radius of curvature in the storage container.

  • The display device includes a display panel with a flat area and a bendable area.
  • The bendable area consists of an active area, a dummy bending area, and a dummy flat area.
  • The bendable area can be stored in a storage container.
  • The dummy bending area is longer than the portion that is bent.
  • The bendable area can be bent with a radius of curvature in the storage container.

The abstract does not specify the materials used in the construction of the bendable area. Understanding the materials involved could provide insights into the durability and flexibility of the display panel.


Original Abstract Submitted

A display device and a panel storage container are provided. The display device includes a display panel including a flat area and a bendable area disposed on a side of the flat area; and a storage container storing the bendable area of the display panel. The bendable area includes an active area having a side adjacent to the flat area, a dummy bending area disposed on another side of the active area, and a dummy flat area disposed on a side of the dummy bending area opposite to the active area. The dummy bending area is interposed between the active area and the dummy flat area, at least a portion of the bendable area is bent with a radius of curvature in the storage container, and a length of the dummy bending area is greater than a length of a portion of which the bendable area is bent.
