DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240164035 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display device with a folding region and impact resistant layers to protect the display panel.
- Display device with folding region:
- Includes a first non-folding region, a folding region, and a second non-folding region. - First support plate with openings overlapping the folding region. - Second-first support plate below the first support plate, overlapping the first non-folding region. - Second-second support plate below the first support plate, overlapping the second non-folding region.
- Impact resistant layers:
- Disposed between the first support plate and the second-first support plate. - Disposed between the first support plate and the second-second support plate. - Each layer has a thickness of about 40 micrometers to about 300 micrometers.
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in foldable electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
Problems Solved
The impact resistant layers help protect the display panel from damage, especially in the folding region where the device is more vulnerable.
Benefits
- Improved durability of foldable display devices. - Enhanced user experience with a more robust and long-lasting screen.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing Durability of Foldable Display Devices: Impact Resistant Technology"
