ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SLIDING STRUCTURE AND FLEXIBLE DISPLAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18446436 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SLIDING STRUCTURE AND FLEXIBLE DISPLAY

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device with a flexible display that can slide in and out of the device.

  • The device has two housings, with the second housing able to slide relative to the first housing.
  • There are supports in each housing, with the flexible display attached to the first support.
  • The flexible display has a visible area on the outside of the device and a second area that can be withdrawn or inserted into the device while being supported by the second support.
  • The device also includes a motor assembly connected to the second support, which provides the force for sliding the second housing.
  • A thermal conductive member is placed on the first support, and when the second area of the flexible display is inserted into the device, it comes into contact with a bracket on the second support, which is in turn in contact with the thermal conductive member.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to an embodiment of the disclosure, an electronic device may include: a first housing, a second housing, a first support, a second support, a flexible display, a motor assembly including a motor, and a first thermal conductive member including a thermally conductive material. The second housing may be slidable relative to the first housing. The first support may be positioned in the first housing. The second support may be positioned in the second housing. The flexible display may include a first area and a second area configured to extend from the first area. The first area may be disposed on the first support and be configured to be visible to the outside of the electronic device. The second area may be configured to, during sliding of the second housing, be withdrawn from or inserted into an inner space of the electronic device while being supported by the second support. The motor assembly may be connected to the second support through a bracket disposed on the second support and be configured to provide a drive force for sliding of the second housing. The first thermal conductive member may be disposed on the first support. Based on the second area being inserted in the inner space of the electronic device, the bracket may be configured to be in contact with the first thermal conductive member.
