ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18394845 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE
The abstract describes an electronic device with three display panels that can switch between a screen stacking state and a screen tiling state.
- The device includes a frame supporting three display panels and an expansion mechanism.
- The expansion mechanism can drive the first and second display panels to move in a first direction.
- In the screen tiling state, the display panels are arranged side by side, with the third panel under the first two.
- In the screen stacking state, the display panels are stacked in a second direction.
Potential Applications:
- Multi-tasking on a single device with multiple display panels.
- Enhanced productivity for professionals working with multiple applications simultaneously.
Problems Solved:
- Limited screen space for multitasking.
- Inefficient workflow due to constantly switching between applications.
Benefits:
- Improved multitasking capabilities.
- Enhanced user experience with seamless transition between screen states.
Commercial Applications:
- Ideal for professionals in fields such as finance, design, and programming.
- Potential for use in gaming setups for immersive experiences.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the expansion mechanism drive the display panels to switch between screen states?
The expansion mechanism is connected to the frame and controls the movement of the display panels in the specified directions.
2. What are the advantages of having multiple display panels in different configurations?
Multiple display panels allow for increased productivity and efficiency by enabling users to view and interact with multiple applications simultaneously.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device may include a frame supporting a first display panel, a second display panel, and a third display panel; and an expansion mechanism connected to the frame, and configured to drive the first display panel and the second display panel to move in a first direction, such that the first display panel, the second display panel and the third display panel switch between a screen stacking state and a screen tiling state. In the screen tiling state, the first to third display panels may be arranged side by side in the first direction and the third display panel may be under the first and second display panels. In the screen stacking state, the first to third display panels may be stacked in a second direction.
