ROLLABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17903259 titled 'ROLLABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device with a flexible display and a sliding frame that can be extended or retracted. The device also includes a bending member with multiple bars arranged at a certain interval.

• The electronic device has a housing and a sliding frame that can be drawn out or retracted.
• The flexible display of the device has a visible first region and a second region that can vary in size.
• A bending member is placed on the rear surface of the flexible display and consists of multiple bars arranged at a certain interval.
• The bending member includes a first bar with at least one locking part that protrudes inward.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Mobile phones with flexible displays that can be extended or retracted for different usage scenarios.
• Tablets or laptops with sliding frames that allow for adjustable screen sizes.
• Wearable devices with flexible displays that can be adjusted to fit different wrist sizes.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Provides a solution for devices with limited screen space by allowing the display to be extended or retracted.
• Offers flexibility in adjusting the size of the display based on user preferences or specific use cases.
• Enables the use of flexible displays in various electronic devices without compromising on functionality.

Benefits of this technology:

• Enhanced user experience with the ability to adjust the display size as needed.
• Increased versatility in using electronic devices with flexible displays.
• Improved portability and compactness by retracting the display when not in use.
