DISPLAY PROTECTION STRUCTURE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240205314 titled 'DISPLAY PROTECTION STRUCTURE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING SAME
The abstract describes an electronic device with a hinge structure, flexible display, and protection structure.
- Hinge structure with a first housing connected to it and a second housing that can rotate with respect to the first housing.
- Flexible display in both housings, with a protection structure covering part of its periphery.
- Protection structure includes a base on the hinge housing and a blocking member made of an elastic body to cover the display.
Potential Applications: - Foldable smartphones - Flexible display laptops - Wearable technology with bendable screens
Problems Solved: - Protecting flexible displays from damage - Enhancing the durability of foldable devices
Benefits: - Improved longevity of electronic devices - Enhanced user experience with flexible displays
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Flexible Display Protection for Electronic Devices" This technology can be utilized in the consumer electronics industry for the development of durable and versatile devices, catering to the growing demand for flexible displays.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the protection structure enhance the durability of the flexible display?
- The protection structure shields the display from external impacts, reducing the risk of damage.
2. What are the potential market implications of integrating this technology into electronic devices?
- The market for foldable and flexible display devices is expanding, creating opportunities for manufacturers to differentiate their products with enhanced durability and user experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic device according to an embodiment, may include: a hinge structure including a hinge housing, a first housing connected to the hinge structure, a second housing connected to the first housing through the hinge structure and configured to rotate with respect to the first housing, a flexible display disposed in the first housing with a first portion and disposed in the second housing with a second portion, and at least one protection structure disposed to cover at least a part of a periphery of the flexible display and the at least one protection structure may include: a base disposed on the hinge housing and including a fixing portion formed in a direction in which a front surface of the electronic device faces, and a blocking member comprising an elastic body integrally formed with at least a part of the fixing portion, and disposed to cover at least a part of the periphery of the flexible display.
