DISPLAY DEVICE HAVING A BENDING REGION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240306458 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE HAVING A BENDING REGION
The abstract describes a display device with a substrate that has a first region for displaying images, a second region without images, and a bending region connecting the two.
- The bending region bends along a specific axis, allowing flexibility in the display.
- Pad terminals are located within the second region for connectivity.
- The bending region is narrower than the second region, providing structural integrity while allowing flexibility.
Potential Applications: - Flexible displays for smartphones and tablets - Curved screens for automotive displays - Wearable technology with bendable screens
Problems Solved: - Providing flexibility without sacrificing structural integrity - Creating innovative display solutions for various industries
Benefits: - Enhanced user experience with flexible displays - Improved durability and longevity of display devices - Increased design possibilities for product developers
Commercial Applications: Flexible displays could revolutionize the consumer electronics industry, leading to the development of new products with unique form factors and improved user interactions.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the bending region impact the overall durability of the display device? 2. What are the potential challenges in mass-producing devices with flexible displays?
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are continually exploring new materials and manufacturing techniques to enhance the flexibility and durability of display devices. Stay updated on the latest advancements in flexible display technology for potential breakthroughs in the industry.
Original Abstract Submitted
a display device includes a substrate having a first region in which an image is displayed, a second region in which an image is not displayed, and a bending region connecting the first region and the second region. the bending region is configured to bend along a bending axis which extends in a first direction. a plurality of pad terminals is disposed within the second region. a first width of the bending region, measured along the first direction, is narrower than a second width of the second region, measured along the first direction.
