ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240206095 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE
The abstract describes an electronic device with a folding display unit that can be folded with reference to a folding axis, along with non-folding display units on either side. A support member below the display module includes patterns corresponding to the folding and non-folding display units, with an adhesive layer between the display module and the support member.
- The electronic device features a unique folding display unit that can be folded along a folding axis.
- The support member below the display module includes patterns that correspond to the folding and non-folding display units.
- An adhesive layer with a specific modulus is used between the display module and the support member.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in foldable electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops. - It could also be applied in wearable technology like smartwatches or fitness trackers.
Problems Solved: - Provides a solution for creating foldable electronic devices with a durable folding display unit. - Ensures proper alignment and support for the folding and non-folding display units.
Benefits: - Enhanced portability and flexibility in electronic devices. - Improved user experience with innovative folding display technology.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Folding Display Technology for Electronic Devices This technology could revolutionize the design of electronic devices, leading to more compact and versatile products. The market implications include increased demand for foldable devices and potential partnerships with manufacturers to implement this technology.
Questions about Folding Display Technology: 1. How does the modulus of the adhesive layer impact the durability of the folding display unit? The modulus of the adhesive layer plays a crucial role in ensuring the stability and longevity of the folding display unit. A higher modulus provides better support and resistance to folding stress, while a lower modulus may result in premature wear and tear.
2. What are the key considerations for manufacturers when implementing this folding display technology? Manufacturers need to consider factors such as material selection, design compatibility, and production processes to successfully integrate this innovative technology into electronic devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic device includes a display module including a folding display unit which extends in a first direction and be foldable with reference to a folding axis and a first non-folding display unit and a second non-folding display unit which are spaced apart from each other with the folding display unit therebetween; a support member disposed below the display module, and including a folding part having a plurality of patterns defined therein and corresponding to the folding display unit and a first non-folding part and a second non-folding part respectively corresponding to the first non-folding display unit and the second non-folding display unit; and an adhesive layer disposed between the display module and the support member. the adhesive layer has a modulus of about 1 megapascal (mpa) to about 1500 mpa at −20 degrees celsius) (� c.).
