FOLDABLE DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18243643 titled 'FOLDABLE DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a display device with a flexible display module that can be folded. The device includes a display panel with a light-emitting device and a sensor unit. The sensor unit can detect pressure when the display module is folded.
- The display device has a flexible display module that can be folded.
- The display panel of the device includes a light-emitting device and a sensor unit.
- The sensor unit is capable of sensing pressure when the display module is folded.
- The pressure is detected when one portion of the display surface faces another portion in the folded-in mode.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Foldable smartphones or tablets with a flexible display that can detect pressure when folded.
- E-book readers with a flexible display that can sense pressure when folded, allowing for more interactive reading experiences.
- Wearable devices with a flexible display that can detect pressure when bent, providing new ways of interacting with the device.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Traditional display devices are rigid and cannot be folded, limiting their portability and versatility.
- Previous flexible display devices lacked the ability to sense pressure when folded, limiting their functionality and user experience.
- This technology solves the problem of providing a flexible display that can detect pressure in a folded-in mode, expanding the possibilities for user interaction.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased portability and versatility due to the ability to fold the display device.
- Enhanced user experience with the ability to detect pressure when the device is folded, allowing for new forms of interaction.
- Opens up new possibilities for design and form factors in electronic devices with flexible displays.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device including a flexible display module and providing a display surface on which an image is displayed. The flexible display module includes a display panel including a light-emitting device and a sensor unit disposed on the display panel. The sensor unit senses pressure applied to the flexible display module in a folded-in mode in which the flexible display module is folded such that a portion of the display surface faces another portion of the display surface.
