ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING FLEXIBLE DISPLAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240196550 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 housings. The device includes a heat radiating sheet and a flexible display support member to enhance functionality and durability.
- The electronic device has a first housing and a second housing that slides relative to each other.
- The flexible display adjusts its exposed region size in response to the sliding motion of the housings.
- A heat radiating sheet is placed on the rear surface of the flexible display to dissipate heat effectively.
- A flexible display support member, with support bars perpendicular to the sliding direction, helps in maintaining the display's stability.
- The heat radiating sheet has folding portions and is strategically placed to optimize heat dissipation.
Potential Applications: - Smartphones and tablets with flexible displays - Wearable technology with sliding mechanisms - Foldable electronic devices
Problems Solved: - Heat management in devices with flexible displays - Durability and stability of flexible displays during sliding motions
Benefits: - Enhanced user experience with adjustable display size - Improved heat dissipation for prolonged device usage - Increased durability and stability of flexible displays
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Flexible Display Technology for Next-Generation Devices" This technology can be utilized in smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices to offer unique user experiences and improved functionality. It can cater to tech-savvy consumers looking for cutting-edge devices with flexible displays.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the sliding motion of the housings affect the size of the exposed region on the flexible display? 2. What are the advantages of using a heat radiating sheet in conjunction with a flexible display support member?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in flexible display technology, heat dissipation methods, and sliding mechanisms to enhance the performance and durability of electronic devices.
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.
