DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18206808 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display device with a folding electronic panel and a hinge member that allows the panel to be folded inward or outward along biaxial rotational axes.
- Electronic panel with non-folding regions, folding region, and biaxial rotational axes
- Support plate under the electronic panel
- Hinge member defining biaxial rotational axes in different directions
- Panel can be folded inward or outward along the rotational axes
- Rotational axes can be positioned over or under the support plate based on folding direction
Potential Applications:
- Foldable smartphones and tablets
- Flexible display screens for wearable technology
- Compact and portable electronic devices
Problems Solved:
- Limited screen size in portable devices
- Fragility of traditional folding mechanisms
- Space constraints in compact electronic devices
Benefits:
- Increased screen size in a compact form factor
- Enhanced portability and convenience
- Improved durability with biaxial rotational axes
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes an electronic panel including a first non-folding region, a folding region, and a second non-folding region arranged in a first direction, a support plate disposed under the electronic panel, and a hinge member that defines biaxial rotational axes that are spaced apart from each other in the first direction and that extend in a second direction crossing the first direction. The electronic panel is folded inward or outward about the biaxial rotational axes, and the biaxial rotational axes are defined over or under the support plate depending on a folding direction of the electronic panel.
