==ELECTRONIC DEVICE CAPABLE OF FOLDING AND SLIDING OPERATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18077441 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE CAPABLE OF FOLDING AND SLIDING OPERATIONS

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes an electronic device with a sliding and folding mechanism that allows for extending or retracting the display region of the device. Here are the key points:

* The electronic device consists of a base housing, a sliding housing, and a folding housing.
* The sliding housing is connected to the base housing and can slide back and forth.
* The folding housing partially overlaps the base housing and is connected to the sliding housing.
* The device has a display located on both the folding and sliding housings.
* A rolling module is attached to the rear surface of the display.
* A hinge module connects the folding and sliding housings.
* The device can perform a sliding operation, extending or retracting the display region by moving the folding and sliding housings in a sliding direction.
* It can also perform a folding operation, where the folding housing is folded or unfolded relative to the sliding housing, allowing for folding or unfolding a portion of the display region.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Smartphones or tablets with larger display areas that can be extended or retracted as needed.
* Portable devices with flexible screens that can be folded for compact storage or unfolded for a larger viewing area.
* E-readers or digital notebooks with adjustable display sizes for improved reading or note-taking experiences.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Limited screen size on portable devices can be expanded when needed, providing a more immersive experience.
* Compact storage is enabled by folding the device, making it easier to carry and transport.
* Flexibility in adjusting the display size allows for better customization based on user preferences or specific tasks.

Benefits of this technology:

* Enhanced user experience with a larger display area for multimedia content, gaming, or productivity tasks.
* Improved portability and convenience with the ability to fold the device for easy storage and transportation.
* Increased flexibility in adapting the device to different usage scenarios or user preferences.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a base housing, a sliding housing and that is coupled to the base housing so as to slide, a folding housing that at least partially overlaps the base housing and that is connected to the sliding housing, a display disposed on the folding housing and the sliding housing, a rolling module that is coupled to a rear surface of the display, and a hinge module connected to the folding housing and the sliding housing. The electronic device is configured to be capable of a sliding operation in which the folding housing and the sliding housing move in a sliding direction to extend or retract a display region of the electronic device and a folding operation in which the folding housing is folded or unfolded relative to the sliding housing to fold or unfold a portion of the display region.
