DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18439841 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
The abstract describes a display device with a folding display portion, first and second non-folding display portions, and a support plate with folding and non-folding support portions.
- The support plate includes a matrix portion with first and second fibers dispersed in it.
- The first fibers have sub-fibers corresponding to the folding support portion, spaced apart at a certain interval.
- The second fibers have sub-fibers corresponding to the non-folding support portions, spaced apart at a smaller interval than the first fibers.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in foldable electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops. - It could also be applied in flexible displays for wearable technology like smartwatches or fitness trackers.
Problems Solved: - Provides a solution for creating durable and flexible displays that can withstand repeated folding and unfolding. - Offers a way to maintain structural integrity in foldable devices without compromising display quality.
Benefits: - Enhances the usability and portability of electronic devices by allowing them to be folded for easier storage and transportation. - Improves the longevity of foldable displays by reducing wear and tear on the folding mechanism.
Commercial Applications: Foldable electronic devices are a growing market segment, and this technology could be highly sought after by manufacturers looking to create innovative and durable products for consumers.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the design of the support plate contribute to the durability of the folding display? 2. What materials are used for the fibers in the support plate to ensure flexibility and strength?
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes a display module including a folding display portion, a first non-folding display portion, and a second non-folding display portion, and a support plate disposed below the display module and including a folding support portion, a first non-folding support portion, and a second non-folding support portion, wherein the support plate includes a matrix portion, first fibers dispersed in the matrix portion, and second fibers dispersed in the matrix portion, the first fibers each include a plurality of first sub-fibers corresponding to the folding support portion and spaced apart at a first interval, and a plurality of second sub-fibers corresponding to the first non-folding support portion and the second non-folding support portion and spaced apart at a second interval which is smaller than the first interval.
