DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17876853 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display device that is foldable and bendable. It includes a display panel with a pixel, a driver area, and a bending area. The first area is foldable, the second area has a driver connected to the pixel, and the bending area allows the display panel to be bent.

  • The display panel is foldable and bendable, allowing for flexible use and portability.
  • The driver area is separate from the foldable area, ensuring that it remains functional even when the display is folded or bent.
  • A groove is defined in the protective layer, adjacent to the foldable area, providing additional flexibility and protection.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Foldable and bendable smartphones or tablets, allowing for compact storage and flexible use.
  • Flexible displays for wearable devices, such as smartwatches or fitness trackers.
  • Foldable or rollable displays for portable electronic devices, such as e-readers or portable gaming consoles.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Traditional displays are rigid and cannot be folded or bent, limiting their portability and versatility.
  • The driver area of a display is typically integrated with the display panel, making it vulnerable to damage when the display is folded or bent.
  • Without a protective layer and groove, the display panel may be prone to cracking or breaking when folded or bent.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced portability and flexibility, allowing users to easily carry and use their devices in various situations.
  • Improved durability and protection for the display panel, reducing the risk of damage from folding or bending.
  • Increased design possibilities for electronic devices, enabling innovative form factors and user experiences.
