This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18372476 titled 'ELECTRIC DEVICE INCLUDING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device with a flexible display that can be adjusted based on the sliding movement of the device's housing. The display includes a fixed visible region, an extendable region that becomes visible based on the housing movement, and bending parts that allow the display to bend in different directions.
- The electronic device has a housing and a flexible display.
- The display has a fixed visible region and an extendable region.
- The extendable region becomes visible based on the sliding movement of the housing.
- The display includes bending parts that allow it to bend in different directions.
Potential Applications:
- Mobile phones with adjustable display size based on user preference or content being viewed.
- Wearable devices with flexible displays that can adapt to different wrist sizes or form factors.
- Foldable tablets or laptops with displays that can be adjusted for different viewing angles or configurations.
Problems Solved:
- Limited screen size options in electronic devices can be addressed by providing adjustable display areas.
- Flexibility of the display allows for better ergonomics and adaptability to different use cases.
- The extendable region provides additional screen real estate without increasing the overall device size.
Benefits:
- Enhanced user experience with the ability to adjust the display size or shape.
- Improved portability and convenience with devices that can adapt to different usage scenarios.
- Increased screen real estate without compromising the compactness of the device.
Original Abstract Submitted
An example electronic device includes a housing, and a flexible display in which an area of a display region is configured to be adjusted based on a sliding movement of at least a portion of the housing. The flexible display may include a first region fixedly visible from outside through a first direction of the electronic device, a second region extending from one end of the first region and variably visible from the outside based on the movement of the housing, and including a first bending part bent from one end of the first region in a second direction opposite to the first direction and disposed to face a second lateral direction perpendicular to the first direction, and a first extension part extending from one end of the first bending part and disposed in parallel with the first region, and a second bending part bent from one end of the first extension part in the second direction and disposed to face a first lateral direction opposite to the second lateral direction.
