Problems solved by technology

[0004] Although the flexible display and the extension mechanism are enclosed and well protected when the flexible display is in the closed position, the flexible display device is easily damaged when it is in the open position
If dropped on the floor while opening, the flexible display can crack or be punctured, and the extension mechanism can be bent or twisted
Attempts have been made to make flexible display devices more durable by adding shock-absorbing materials and heavier components, but this makes the flexible display device heavier and reduces portability

Embodiment Construction

[0016] figure 1 It is the front view of the enlarged structure of the flexible display device manufactured according to the present invention. In this example, the flexible display device uses a coil in the latch assembly to magnetically release the extension mechanism from the open position when the flexible display device is dropped.

[0017] The flexible display device 30 includes a first frame 32 , a second frame 34 , a flexible display 38 , and an extension mechanism 50 . The extension mechanism 50 is operatively connected to the flexible display 38 via the first frame 32 and the second frame 34 to maintain the flexible display 38 in a planar configuration when the flexible display device 30 is in the open position as shown. The extension mechanism 50 has a latch assembly 36 that holds the extension mechanism 50 in the open position. The acceleration sensor generates an acceleration signal of the flexible display device 30 , such as an acceleration signal of the center ...

Abstract

An auto-closable flexible display device including a flexible display (38); a spreader mechanism (50) operably connected to the flexible display (38), the spreader mechanism (50) having a latch assembly (36) to maintain the spreader mechanism (50) in an open position; an acceleration sensor generating an acceleration signal; and an acceleration processor responsive to the acceleration signal and generating a close signal when the acceleration signal exceeds a predetermined acceleration limit. The latch assembly (36) is responsive to the close signal to release the spreader mechanism (50) from the open position.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The present invention relates generally to flexible display devices, and more particularly to flexible display devices that provide a flexible display that can be automatically turned off. 【Background technique】 [0002] Recently, miniaturization and increased processing power have greatly improved the portability of electronic devices. Complex equipment has been reduced to pocket size. Consumers can carry and use such devices wherever they are needed, just like they use mobile phones, music players, game consoles, digital still cameras, digital video cameras, and GPS locators. Nonetheless, the size and form factor of devices are usually limited by optical displays, as most current devices use non-flexible glass optical displays. Such displays are bulky, heavy, expensive and fragile. Fragility increases with display size, but limiting display size will reduce the usefulness of the device. Content that requires high resolution, such as maps, canno...
