PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240219975 titled 'PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE

The abstract describes a portable electronic device with a flexible display that is fixed to two frames connected by a hinge, allowing for control of the angle between the frames. An angle limiter, consisting of stopper brackets on each frame, limits the angle between the frames.

• Portable electronic device with a flexible display
• Two frames connected by a hinge
• Hinge controls the angle between the frames
• Angle limiter with stopper brackets on each frame
• Stopper brackets limit the angle between the frames

Potential Applications: - Foldable smartphones - Portable tablets - E-readers

Questions about Foldable Electronic Devices: 1. How does the angle limiter enhance the user experience?

  - The angle limiter ensures that the device can be used at various angles without risking damage to the hinge.

2. What are the potential challenges in manufacturing such foldable electronic devices?

  - The main challenges could include ensuring the durability of the flexible display and hinge mechanism.

Original Abstract Submitted

a portable electronic device includes a first frame, a second frame, a flexible display fixed to the first frame and fixed to the second frame, a hinge connected between the first frame and the second frame, the hinge being configured to control an angle between the first frame and the second frame; and an angle limiter for limiting the angle between the first frame and the second frame. the angle limiter includes a first stopper bracket coupled to the first frame, and a second stopper bracket coupled to the second frame. the first stopper bracket is spaced apart from the second stopper bracket in a closed state of the portable electronic device, and comes into contact with the second stopper bracket in an open state of the portable electronic device.
