DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18617830 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
The display device described in the patent application includes a display panel and a support layer underneath it. The display panel has a display area that shows an image in both bending and non-bending areas, as well as a non-display area next to the display area in both bending and non-bending areas. The device can bend in the bending area during a sliding motion but remains unbent in the non-bending area adjacent to it. The non-display area in the bending area consists of pattern areas and non-pattern areas next to the patterns, with each pattern area having a concave portion and a remaining portion.
- The display device has a unique design that allows it to bend in specific areas while remaining flat in others.
- The non-display area includes pattern areas with concave portions, adding a visually appealing element to the device.
- This innovation enables the display panel to flex during use without compromising the overall functionality of the device.
- The support layer plays a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of the display panel during bending motions.
- The combination of bending and non-bending areas enhances the user experience by providing a dynamic display option.
Potential Applications: - Flexible electronic devices - Wearable technology - Curved displays for automotive applications
Problems Solved: - Maintaining display functionality while allowing for bending - Enhancing the visual appeal of flexible displays - Improving user interaction with flexible devices
Benefits: - Increased durability of flexible displays - Enhanced design options for electronic devices - Improved user experience with dynamic displays
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Flexible Display Technology for Enhanced User Experience This technology can be utilized in the development of flexible smartphones, smartwatches, and other electronic devices to provide users with a unique and engaging display experience. The market implications include increased demand for flexible displays in various industries, leading to potential growth opportunities for manufacturers and developers.
Questions about Flexible Display Technology: 1. How does the bending mechanism in the display device work? The bending mechanism in the display device allows it to flex in specific areas while remaining flat in others. This is achieved through a combination of design elements and materials that enable controlled bending during use.
2. What are the potential applications of this flexible display technology beyond consumer electronics? Flexible display technology can also be applied in medical devices, automotive displays, and industrial equipment to provide innovative solutions for various industries.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed is a display device comprising a display panel, and a support layer disposed under the display panel. The display panel includes a display area that displays an image in a bending area and in a non-bending area, and a non-display area disposed adjacent to the display area in the bending area and the non-bending area. The display device is bend in the bending area during a sliding motion and not bent in the non-bending area adjacent to the bending area during the sliding motion. The non-display area that is disposed the bending area includes pattern areas and non-pattern areas adjacent to the pattern areas. Each of the pattern areas includes a concave portion and a remaining portion.
