FOLDABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240036607 titled 'FOLDABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a foldable electronic device that includes a central base, a hinge module, wings, driving elements, panel bodies, an elastic module, and a flexible screen. The hinge module can rotate synchronously and reversely and is connected to the central base. The driving elements are sleeved on the hinge module and rotate synchronously with it. The panel bodies are connected to the wings and can slide linearly relative to the driving elements. The flexible screen is placed on the panel bodies and wings and has a bendable area. When the panel bodies are unfolded, the flexible screen is flattened, and the wings and central base support the bendable area. When the panel bodies are folded, the bendable area is bent, and the wings and central base create an accommodating space for it.

  • The device is foldable and includes a flexible screen that can be flattened or bent.
  • The hinge module allows for synchronous and reverse rotation, enabling the folding and unfolding of the device.
  • The driving elements rotate with the hinge module, providing stability and support during the folding process.
  • The panel bodies are connected to the wings and can slide relative to the driving elements, allowing for smooth folding and unfolding.
  • The flexible screen is placed on the panel bodies and wings, providing a display surface that can adapt to the folding and unfolding of the device.
  • The wings and central base support the bendable area of the flexible screen, ensuring its stability in both folded and unfolded states.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Foldable smartphones or tablets with larger screen sizes when unfolded.
  • Portable electronic devices with flexible displays that can be easily carried and stored.
  • Innovative designs for wearable technology, such as smartwatches or fitness trackers, that can be folded or unfolded for different functionalities.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Limited screen size in portable electronic devices can be overcome by the ability to unfold and expand the display area.
  • Enhanced portability and convenience as the device can be folded into a compact size for easy storage and transportation.
  • Improved durability and flexibility of the device, as the flexible screen and foldable design can withstand bending and folding without damage.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased screen real estate for multimedia consumption, gaming, and productivity tasks.
  • Enhanced portability and convenience for users who need to carry their devices on the go.
  • Improved durability and longevity of the device due to the flexible screen and foldable design.
  • Potential for innovative and versatile designs in various electronic devices, expanding the possibilities for user interaction and experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

a foldable electronic device comprises a central base, a hinge module, a plurality of wings, a plurality of driving element, a plurality of panel bodies, an elastic module and a flexible screen. the hinge module penetrates through the central base and capable of rotating synchronously and reversely. the driving elements are sleeved on and synchronously rotate with the hinge module. the panel bodies are pivotally connected to the wings and can linearly slide relative to the driving element. the flexible screen is disposed on panel bodies and the wings, and comprises a bendable area. when the panel bodies are in the unfolded status, the flexible screen is flattened, and the wings and the central base support the bendable area. when the panel bodies are in the folded status, the bendable area is bent, and the wings and the central base define an accommodating space for accommodating the bendable area.
