ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF FORMING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18074687 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF FORMING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device with a display that includes a flexible polymer layer to prevent foreign material from entering the display.

  • The device has a housing with a recess and an internal structure inside the recess.
  • The display is supported by the internal structure and is also located in the recess.
  • The display panel of the device has a first region and a second region, with the second region forming part of the edge of the display panel.
  • The flexible polymer layer covers both the first and second regions of the display panel.
  • The flexible polymer layer also extends from the first portion to enclose the edge of the display panel and extends inward.
  • This design helps to prevent foreign material from entering the display, improving its durability and performance.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied to various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches.
  • It can also be used in other devices with displays, such as laptops, televisions, and gaming consoles.

Problems Solved

  • The flexible polymer layer helps to solve the problem of foreign material entering the display, which can cause damage and affect the device's functionality.
  • It provides a protective barrier that prevents dust, dirt, moisture, and other contaminants from entering the display.

Benefits

  • The use of a flexible polymer layer improves the durability and longevity of the display.
  • It enhances the device's resistance to environmental factors, such as water and dust.
  • The technology helps to maintain the display's performance and visual quality by preventing foreign material from interfering with the screen.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device includes a housing including a recess; an internal structure disposed in the recess; and a display disposed in the recess and supported by the internal structure, where the display includes a display panel including a first region and a second region, where the second region forms at least part of an edge of the display panel; and a flexible polymer layer forming an outer surface of the display panel, where the flexible polymer layer includes a first portion covering the first region and the second region, and a second portion extending from the first portion, enclosing the at least part of the edge of the display panel, and extending inward. Thereby, foreign material can be prevented from entering into the display. Various other embodiments are possible.
