DISPLAY ASSEMBLY AND FOLDABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18549396 titled 'DISPLAY ASSEMBLY AND FOLDABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation: This patent application describes a display assembly for a foldable electronic device, with a protective component that allows for bending without damaging the screen.

The display assembly includes a flexible screen and a protective component connected to the screen in a specific direction.
The protective component has a bending region with a first region and two second regions on either side.
When the display assembly is bent, the first region experiences less deformation than the second regions.
In a folded state, the protective component creates space for the folded portion of the flexible screen.

Key Features and Innovation:

Protective component allows for bending of the display assembly without damaging the screen.
Variation in deformation between regions ensures screen integrity during bending.
Design accommodates folding of the screen without compromising functionality.

Potential Applications: This technology could be used in various foldable electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

Problems Solved:

Prevents screen damage during bending.
Ensures screen functionality in a folded state.

Benefits:

Increased durability of foldable electronic devices.
Enhanced user experience with flexible screens.
Improved design for compact devices.

Commercial Applications: The technology could revolutionize the market for foldable electronic devices, offering more durable and functional options for consumers.

Questions about Display Assembly Technology: 1. How does the protective component prevent screen damage during bending? 2. What are the potential applications of this technology in the consumer electronics industry?

Frequently Updated Research: There may be ongoing research on improving the flexibility and durability of foldable electronic device screens using similar protective components.

Original Abstract Submitted

This application relates to a display assembly and a foldable electronic device. The display assembly includes: a flexible screen; and a protective component connected to the flexible screen in a first direction, where a bending region of the protective component includes a first region and second regions located on two sides of the first region in a second direction; and when the display assembly is bent, the first region has a smaller average deformation amount than each second region in the second direction. When the display assembly is in a folded state, the bending region of the protective component forms a screen accommodating space for accommodating a folded portion of the flexible screen.
