SLIDABLE HOUSING INCLUDING DRIVE MOTOR AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18443641 titled 'SLIDABLE HOUSING INCLUDING DRIVE MOTOR AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
An electronic device with a flexible display that expands or reduces based on sliding movements of two housings, driven by gears and motors.
- The device has a first housing and a second housing that slide together.
- A flexible display is supported by a rear support member and adjusts with the sliding motion.
- Drive motors in the first housing operate gears that enable the sliding movement.
- The gears in the first and second housings mesh to facilitate the sliding action.
Key Features and Innovation
- Sliding mechanism for adjusting a flexible display.
- Drive motors and gears for smooth sliding motion.
- Rear support member for stability of the flexible display.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in smartphones, tablets, or other portable devices with flexible displays.
Problems Solved

Questions about Sliding Mechanism for Flexible Displays in Electronic Devices
Question 1
How does the sliding mechanism work in adjusting the flexible display size? The sliding mechanism consists of drive motors in the first housing that operate gears, meshing with gears in the second housing to facilitate the sliding movement, which expands or reduces the flexible display.
Question 2
What are the potential applications of this technology beyond electronic devices? This technology could potentially be adapted for use in other fields such as automotive displays, wearable technology, or foldable devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to various embodiments, an electronic device may comprise: a first housing; a second housing which is slidably coupled to the first housing; a flexible display which is expanded or reduced on the basis of a slide-out or slide-in movement of the first housing; a support member which supports at least a part of the flexible display and is disposed at the rear surface of the flexible display; at least one drive motor which is disposed in the first housing, is fixed by at least one bracket, and includes a first gear; and a second gear which is disposed in the second housing and is arranged to be meshed with the first gear, wherein the first housing is configured to be slid in or slid out on the basis that the first gear and the second gear are driven in mesh with each other during driving of the drive motor.
