Problems solved by technology

This functionality limits the size of flexible displays and is not well suited for placing or mounting flexible electronic components on complex surfaces that bend or flex in two dimensions, such as along arms or legs, or on the sides of the body. On another surface, or on an enclosure, curved armature, wall or post

Embodiment Construction

[0089] now refer to figure 1 , the armband device 8 placed on the user's arm 9 comprises a dynamically flexible electronically attached member or article 10 attached to a cuff part 11 . Although the sleeve member 11 is shown mounted on the user's arm 9, the sleeve member 11 may alternatively be mounted on the user's leg, torso, or other body part, or alternatively be mounted on a body other than the user's arm 9. other structural components than body parts. During use, the flexible electronic article 10 moves along two dimensions (for example, in figure 1 The center flexes or bends along the length of and around the arm 9) to generally conform to the complex curvature of the arm 9 at various positions and during movement of the arm 9 via various movements. figure 2 The armband device 8 is shown seated on the user's arm 9 when bent in different ways to show that the flexible attachable article 10 flexes or bends with the arm 9 in two dimensions to conform to the user's arm...

Abstract

A dynamically flexible article or device, such as an armband, includes a flexible electronic component, such as a flexible electronic display, and a flexible support structure coupled to the flexible electronic component, wherein the flexible support and the flexible electronic component are flexible along two dimensions to thereby be able to conform to a complex curved surface. The flexible support includes bending limiting structure that constrains bending of the flexible electronic component to prevent undesirable bending.
