DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240184334 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display device with a bendable display panel and a support module that includes a support plate and joints. The support plate overlaps the flat area and bendable areas of the display panel and includes lattice pattern areas with lattice patterns. The joints are spaced apart from each other and overlap with the bendable areas, with a top surface on the support plate and a bottom surface opposite to the top surface.
- Bendable display panel with flat area and bendable areas
- Support module with support plate and joints
- Support plate overlaps display panel and includes lattice pattern areas
- Joints spaced apart, with top and bottom surfaces
- Top surface width of joints is less than bottom surface width
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in flexible electronic devices, such as foldable smartphones, tablets, or wearable technology.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of supporting bendable display panels without compromising their flexibility and durability.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved durability and flexibility of bendable display panels, leading to longer-lasting and more versatile electronic devices.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include consumer electronics, medical devices, and automotive displays.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be the development of flexible OLED displays in the consumer electronics industry.
== What are the manufacturing processes involved in creating the support module for the bendable display panel? To create the support module, the support plate and joints need to be manufactured with precision to ensure proper support for the bendable display panel.
== How does the lattice pattern design of the support plate contribute to the overall flexibility and strength of the display device? The lattice pattern design of the support plate helps distribute stress and strain across the panel, enhancing its flexibility while maintaining structural integrity.
Original Abstract Submitted
a display device includes: a bendable display panel including a flat area and bendable areas; and a support module disposed on the display panel, wherein the support module supports the display panel, wherein the support module includes a support plate and joints, wherein the support plate overlaps the flat area and the bendable areas and includes lattice pattern areas including lattice patterns, and wherein the joints are disposed on the support plate, are disposed to overlap with the bendable areas, and are spaced apart from one another in the first direction. each of the joints has a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the top surface is disposed on the support plate, and the bottom surface is opposite to the top surface, and a width of each of the top surfaces of the joints is less than a width of each of the bottom surfaces of the joints.
