ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING DRIVING ELEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18649332 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING DRIVING ELEMENT

The abstract describes an electronic device with a housing that allows for sliding movement, a display that extends based on this movement, and a driving element that provides the force for the sliding action.

• Housing comprises a first and second housing, guiding the sliding movement of the first housing.
• Display extends based on the sliding movement of the first housing.
• Driving element includes a shaft structure, arm structure, elastic structure, and link structure.
• Shaft structure has a shaft and a sliding portion for relative sliding.
• Arm structure includes a first arm connected to the first housing and sliding portion, and a second arm connected to the second housing and sliding portion.
• Elastic structure has a spring surrounding the shaft to provide elasticity to the sliding portion.
• Link structure consists of a first link connected to the shaft and the first arm, and a second link connected to the shaft and the second arm.

Potential Applications: - Mobile devices with sliding displays - Compact electronic gadgets with extendable components

Problems Solved: - Providing a mechanism for extending displays in electronic devices - Ensuring smooth sliding movement without external assistance

Benefits: - Enhanced user experience with adjustable display sizes - Space-saving design for compact devices

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Sliding Display Mechanism for Electronic Devices This technology can be applied in smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices, enhancing user interaction and providing a unique selling point in the competitive electronics market.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the sliding mechanism improve user experience in electronic devices? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in mass-produced devices?

Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may comprise: a housing comprising a first housing and a second housing accommodating at least one part of the first housing and configured to guide sliding movement of the first housing; a display configured to be extended based on the sliding movement of the first housing; and a driving element formed so as to provide a driving force for the sliding movement of the first housing. The driving element may comprise: a shaft structure comprising a shaft and a sliding portion configured to slide relative to the shaft; an arm structure comprising a first arm, rotatably connected to the first housing and the sliding portion, and a second arm rotatably connected to the second housing and the sliding portion; an elastic structure comprising a spring surrounding at least a part of the shaft and configured to provide elasticity to the sliding portion; and a link structure comprising a first link, rotatably connected to the shaft and the first arm, and a second link rotatably connected to the shaft and the second arm.
