ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18582038 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY
The patent application describes an electronic device with a flexible display that changes its exposed region size based on the sliding motion of the device's housing. The device also includes a heat radiating sheet and a flexible display support member.
- The electronic device has a first housing and a second housing that slides relative to the first housing.
- The flexible display adjusts the size of the exposed region on the front side based on the sliding motion of the second housing.
- A heat radiating sheet is placed on at least a portion of the rear surface of the flexible display to dissipate heat.
- A flexible display support member supports a portion of the flexible display and includes support bars that extend perpendicular to the sliding direction of the second housing.
- The heat radiating sheet has folding portions and is located in spaces between the support bars.
Potential Applications: - Smartphones and tablets with flexible displays - Wearable technology with sliding mechanisms - Foldable electronic devices
Problems Solved: - Heat dissipation in devices with flexible displays - Mechanical support for flexible displays during sliding motion
Benefits: - Enhanced user experience with adjustable display size - Improved heat management for better device performance - Durability and support for flexible displays
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Flexible Display Electronic Devices for Enhanced User Experience" This technology can be applied in the development of smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices with flexible displays, catering to consumers looking for innovative and versatile electronic devices.
Prior Art: Research into prior patents related to flexible displays, sliding mechanisms, and heat dissipation in electronic devices can provide valuable insights into the development of this technology.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in flexible display technology, heat management solutions, and sliding mechanisms to enhance the performance and functionality of electronic devices.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the sliding motion of the second housing affect the size of the exposed region on the front side of the device? 2. What are the key benefits of using a heat radiating sheet in electronic devices with flexible displays?
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device is provided including a first housing, a second housing that slides relative to the first housing, a flexible display configured such that a size of a region exposed on a front side of the electronic device is changed in response to a sliding motion of the second housing relative to the first housing, a heat radiating sheet disposed on at least a portion of a rear surface of the flexible display, and a flexible display support member disposed on a portion of a rear surface of the heat radiating sheet to support a portion of the flexible display. The flexible display support member includes a plurality of support bars that extend in a direction perpendicular to a sliding direction of the second housing. The plurality of support bars are spaced apart. The heat radiating sheet includes a plurality of folding portions, and at least portions of the heat radiating sheet are located in spaces separating the plurality of support bars.
