ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18412707 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
The abstract describes an electronic apparatus with a display module that can be folded along a folding axis, including non-folding regions on either side of the folding region. The digitizer under the display module includes base layers with sensing coils and an upper reinforcement part with reinforcement layers.
- The electronic apparatus features a display module that can be folded along a folding axis.
- The digitizer under the display module includes base layers with sensing coils and an upper reinforcement part with reinforcement layers.
- The base part of the digitizer contains synthetic rubber or polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS).
- The sensing coils are insulated from each other and are positioned between the base layers.
- The reinforcement layers are spaced apart from each other along the folding region.
Potential Applications: - Foldable electronic devices - Touchscreen devices with enhanced durability - Wearable technology with flexible displays
Problems Solved: - Increased durability of foldable displays - Improved functionality of touchscreens in flexible devices
Benefits: - Enhanced user experience with foldable displays - Longer lifespan of electronic devices - Greater flexibility in design and usage of electronic gadgets
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Foldable Display Technology for Electronic Devices" This technology can be applied in the development of foldable smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices, catering to the growing demand for flexible and durable electronic gadgets in the market.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the use of synthetic rubber or PDMS in the base part of the digitizer enhance the performance of the electronic apparatus? 2. What are the potential challenges in integrating foldable display technology into mainstream electronic devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic apparatus is provided and includes a display module having a folding region foldable with respect to a folding axis and including a first non-folding region and a second non-folding region spaced apart from each other along a second direction, and a digitizer disposed under the display module, and the digitizer includes a base part including base layers, first and second sensing coils disposed between the base layers and insulated from each other, and an upper reinforcement part including a first reinforcement layer and a second reinforcement layer each of which is disposed on an upper surface of the base part, and which are spaced apart from each other along the second direction with the folding region therebetween, wherein at least a portion of the base part containing either synthetic rubber or polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS).
