SUPPORT MEMBER, DISPLAY APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SUPPORT MEMBER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240324125 titled 'SUPPORT MEMBER, DISPLAY APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SUPPORT MEMBER
The abstract of the patent application describes a support member that includes a variable stiffness layer with an electrorheological elastomer, a first electrode layer on one surface, and a second electrode layer on a different surface of the variable stiffness layer.
- The support member features a variable stiffness layer with an electrorheological elastomer.
- A first electrode layer is located on one surface of the variable stiffness layer.
- A second electrode layer is positioned on a surface of the variable stiffness layer different from the first electrode layer.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in the development of adaptive support systems for various applications such as automotive suspension systems or prosthetic devices.
Problems Solved: - The variable stiffness layer allows for the adjustment of support based on external factors, providing enhanced comfort and performance.
Benefits: - Improved adaptability and comfort in support systems. - Enhanced performance and efficiency in various applications.
Commercial Applications: Title: Adaptive Support Systems for Automotive and Prosthetic Applications This technology could be utilized in the development of adaptive support systems for automotive suspension systems, prosthetic devices, and other applications requiring variable stiffness support.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the electrorheological elastomer in the variable stiffness layer contribute to the support member's functionality? - The electrorheological elastomer changes its stiffness in response to an electric field, allowing for adjustable support in the support member. 2. What are the potential limitations of using electrorheological elastomers in support systems? - Electrorheological elastomers may have limitations in terms of durability and long-term performance in certain applications.
