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.
