ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING HINGE MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17832183 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING HINGE MODULE

Simplified Explanation

An electronic device with a hinge module is described in this patent application. The device consists of two housings, a display with two regions, and a hinge module connecting the housings. The hinge module includes a rotation bracket with two accommodation spaces for rotation axes, a rotation member connected to each display region, and a rail member connected to each rotation member for rotation within the accommodation spaces.

  • The electronic device has a housing with two display regions connected to two separate housings.
  • A hinge module is used to connect the two housings.
  • The hinge module includes a rotation bracket with two accommodation spaces for rotation axes.
  • Each display region is connected to a rotation member.
  • Each rotation member is connected to a rail member that rotates within the accommodation spaces.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Foldable smartphones or tablets with a larger display area when unfolded.
  • Laptops or 2-in-1 devices with a flexible hinge for different viewing angles.
  • E-book readers with a foldable design for easy portability.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a flexible and durable hinge mechanism for electronic devices.
  • Allows for a seamless transition between different display regions.
  • Enables compact and portable designs without compromising on screen size.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced user experience with a larger display area when needed.
  • Improved portability and convenience with a foldable or flexible design.
  • Increased durability and longevity of electronic devices with a reliable hinge mechanism.
