ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18510301 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE
The abstract describes an electronic device with a display module that can be rolled or bent around a virtual axis. It also includes lower support bars and impact-absorbing members to protect the display module.
- Display module can be rolled or bent around a virtual axis
- Lower support bars provide structural support
- Impact-absorbing members protect the display module from damage
- Support bars overlap sides of the display module in unfolded state
- Support bars extend in a direction intersecting the rolling or bending direction
Potential Applications: - Flexible displays for smartphones or tablets - Wearable technology with bendable screens - Foldable electronic devices for compact storage
Problems Solved: - Protecting flexible displays from damage - Providing structural support for bendable screens - Enhancing the durability of electronic devices with flexible components
Benefits: - Increased durability of flexible displays - Improved user experience with bendable screens - Potential for innovative designs in electronic devices
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Flexible Display Technology for Electronic Devices" This technology could be used in the development of smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices with flexible or foldable screens. The market implications include the potential for new product designs and enhanced user experiences.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the impact-absorbing member protect the display module?
- The impact-absorbing member absorbs shock and prevents damage to the display module.
2. What are the potential commercial uses of this flexible display technology?
- This technology could be applied in smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices to create more durable and innovative products.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes a display module that is rolled or bent with respect to a virtual axis extending in a first direction, first and second lower support bars arranged below the display module, a first impact absorbing member disposed between the display module and the first lower support bar, and a second impact absorbing member disposed between the display module and the second lower support bar. In a state in which the display module is unfolded, each of the first lower support bar and the second lower support bar extends in a second direction intersecting the first direction, the first lower support bar overlaps a first side of the display module extending in the second direction, and the second lower support bar overlaps a second side of the display module opposite to the first side of the display module and extending in the second direction.
