DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18483432 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a display apparatus that includes a substrate with a bending region, a display unit, a first wiring unit, and a second wiring unit. The bending region allows the substrate to be bent around a bending axis. The first wiring unit has a bending portion with multiple holes, while the second wiring unit has a different shape from the first bending portion.
- The display apparatus includes a substrate with a bending region that allows it to be bent in one direction.
- A display unit is mounted on the substrate.
- A first wiring unit is located at the bending region and has a bending portion with multiple holes.
- A second wiring unit is spaced apart from the first wiring unit at the bending region and has a different shape from the first bending portion.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Flexible displays: The bending capability of the substrate allows for the development of flexible displays that can be curved or folded.
- Wearable devices: The flexible display apparatus can be used in wearable devices such as smartwatches or fitness trackers, providing a more comfortable and ergonomic design.
- Curved screens: The bending region of the substrate enables the creation of curved screens for televisions or monitors, offering an immersive viewing experience.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Limited form factor: Traditional displays are rigid and have limited flexibility in terms of design and form factor. This technology allows for the development of displays that can be bent or curved to fit various applications.
- Fragility: Flexible displays can be more durable and resistant to damage compared to rigid displays, as they can absorb impact and withstand bending or folding without breaking.
- Space-saving: The ability to bend the substrate allows for more compact and space-saving designs, especially in devices with limited space for components.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced user experience: The flexibility of the display apparatus enables the creation of innovative and user-friendly devices with improved ergonomics and aesthetics.
- Versatile design options: The bending region and different shapes of the wiring units offer designers more freedom in creating unique and customized display solutions.
- Improved durability: The ability to bend and absorb impact makes the display apparatus more resistant to damage, increasing its lifespan and reliability.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display apparatus includes a substrate having a bending region between a first region and a second region, the bending region being configured to be bent about a bending axis that extends in one direction; a display unit on the substrate; a first wiring unit at the bending region, the first wiring unit including a first bending portion having a plurality of first holes; and a second wiring unit spaced apart from the first wiring unit and at the bending region, the second wiring unit including a second bending portion having a different shape from the first bending portion.
