ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240306327 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE
The patent application describes an electronic device with a display module that can be rolled or bent around a virtual axis in a specific direction. Below the display module, there are two lower support bars and impact-absorbing members to protect the device.
- The display module can be folded and unfolded easily due to the design of the lower support bars and impact-absorbing members.
- The first and second lower support bars extend in a direction perpendicular to the rolling axis, providing stability to the device.
- The impact-absorbing members help prevent damage to the display module during handling or accidental impacts.
- The design allows for a compact and flexible electronic device that can adapt to different user needs.
- This innovation could lead to the development of more durable and versatile electronic devices in the future.
Potential Applications: This technology could be applied to flexible displays, wearable devices, and foldable electronics.
Problems Solved: The technology addresses the challenge of protecting flexible displays from damage while maintaining their functionality.
Benefits: The device offers increased durability, flexibility, and adaptability compared to traditional electronic devices.
Commercial Applications: This technology could be used in smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and other portable electronic devices to enhance their durability and user experience.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the design of the lower support bars contribute to the flexibility of the device? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for the consumer electronics market?
Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic device includes a display module that is rolled or bent with respect to a virtual axis extending in a first direction, first and second lower support bars arranged below the display module, a first impact absorbing member disposed between the display module and the first lower support bar, and a second impact absorbing member disposed between the display module and the second lower support bar. in a state in which the display module is unfolded, each of the first lower support bar and the second lower support bar extends in a second direction intersecting the first direction, the first lower support bar overlaps a first side of the display module extending in the second direction, and the second lower support bar overlaps a second side of the display module opposite to the first side of the display module and extending in the second direction.
