Foldable Display Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18364798 titled 'Foldable Display Device
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a foldable display device with improved durability and folding characteristics. It includes a display panel with folding and non-folding areas, supported by two substrates with opening and protrusion patterns.
- The device has a display panel with a folding area and non-folding areas.
- A first support substrate under the display panel has opening patterns corresponding to the folding area.
- A second support substrate between the display panel and the first substrate has protrusion patterns that fit into the opening patterns.
- The protrusion patterns are smaller than the opening patterns, enhancing durability and preventing degradation of folding characteristics.
Key Features and Innovation
- Display panel with folding and non-folding areas.
- First support substrate with opening patterns.
- Second support substrate with protrusion patterns.
- Protrusion patterns smaller than opening patterns for improved durability.

Questions about Foldable Display Device
Question 1
How does the size difference between the protrusion and opening patterns improve the durability of the device?
The smaller protrusion patterns fitting into the opening patterns help distribute stress evenly during folding, reducing wear and tear on the device.
Question 2
What are some potential challenges in implementing this technology in commercial foldable devices?
One challenge could be ensuring precise alignment of the protrusion and opening patterns during manufacturing to maintain the device's durability and folding characteristics.
Original Abstract Submitted
A foldable display device includes a display panel including a folding area and non-folding areas on both sides of the folding area in a folding direction; a first support substrate configured to support the display panel under the display panel and including a plurality of opening patterns corresponding to the folding area; and a second support substrate between the display panel and the first support substrate and including a plurality of protrusion patterns protruding to be inserted into the plurality of opening patterns. Sizes of the plurality of protrusion patterns are smaller than sizes of the corresponding plurality of opening patterns. Therefore, it is possible to improve durability and prevent or at least reduce degradation of folding characteristics of the foldable display device.
