DISPLAY APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18388833 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The display apparatus described in the patent application includes a display panel with a folding area and a non-folding area, support portions at the lower portion of the display panel, and a folding protection portion between the support portions with a different material and lesser thickness.
- Display panel with folding and non-folding areas:
- The display panel has a folding area with a curvature area, inflection area, and extension area, allowing for flexibility.
- Support portions at the lower portion:
- Support portions are spaced apart with the folding area in between, providing stability and structure to the display panel.
- Folding protection portion:
- The folding protection portion, made of a different material and thinner than the support portions, helps protect the folding area during use.
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in foldable electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops.
Problems Solved
1. Preventing damage to the folding area of the display panel. 2. Ensuring structural integrity and stability of the foldable device.
Benefits
1. Increased durability and longevity of foldable devices. 2. Enhanced user experience with flexible display panels.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing Foldable Display Panel Technology for Electronic Devices
Possible Prior Art

Unanswered Questions
How does the different material of the folding protection portion contribute to the overall functionality of the display apparatus?
The different material of the folding protection portion may provide specific properties such as flexibility, durability, or impact resistance that are crucial for protecting the folding area of the display panel.
What are the specific dimensions and materials used in the support portions and folding protection portion of the display apparatus?
Details regarding the exact dimensions and materials of the support portions and folding protection portion are not provided in the abstract, leaving room for further exploration and analysis in the full patent application.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display apparatus includes: a display panel including a folding area and a non-folding area at opposite sides of the folding area, where the folding area includes a curvature area, an inflection area disposed at opposite sides of the curvature area, and an extension area between the curvature area and the inflection area; support portions disposed at a lower portion of the display panel, being spaced apart from each other with the folding area therebetween and overlapping the non-folding area; and a folding protection portion disposed between the support portions and including a different material from the support portions. A thickness of the folding protection portion is less than a thickness of the support portion, and the display panel is foldable in the folding area.
