Embodiment approach 1

[0064] In this embodiment, a support tool and a display device according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that although in this specification, a display panel is typically mentioned as a flexible member, other members are also possible. For example, solar cells, primary batteries, secondary batteries, antennas, speakers, microphones, cables, lighting, various terminals, various sensors, various circuits, composite devices including any of the above, and the like can be mentioned.

[0065] In addition, in this specification, a display device refers to all devices having a display function. That is, electronic equipment including a display unit is included in a display device. For example, an electronic device including a display portion such as a mobile phone, a smartphone, a smart watch, a tablet computer, and a television set is included in the display device.

[0066] One aspect of the present invention is a ...

Embodiment approach 2

[0169] In this embodiment mode, a configuration example of a display panel that can be used in a display device according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0170]

[0171] Figure 20 A top view of the display panel 700 is shown. The display panel 700 is a display panel that can be used as a flexible display using a support substrate 745 having flexibility. In addition, the display panel 700 includes a pixel portion 702 provided on a flexible support substrate 745 . In addition, a source driver circuit portion 704 , a pair of gate driver circuit portions 706 , wiring 710 , and the like are provided over a support substrate 745 . In addition, the pixel portion 702 is provided with a plurality of display devices.

[0172] In addition, an FPC terminal portion 708 connected to an FPC 716 (FPC: Flexible printed circuit) is provided on a part of the support substrate 745 . Various signals and the like are supplied to the pixel section 702, the sour...

Embodiment approach 3

[0276] In this embodiment refer to Figure 23A to Figure 23C A structural example of a display device will be described.

[0277] Figure 23A The shown display device includes a pixel unit 502 , a driver circuit unit 504 , a protection circuit 506 and a terminal unit 507 . Note that a configuration in which the protection circuit 506 is not provided may also be adopted.

[0278] The pixel unit 502 includes a plurality of pixel circuits 501 that drive a plurality of display devices arranged in X rows and Y columns (X and Y are each independently a natural number equal to or greater than 2).

[0279] The driving circuit section 504 includes driving circuits such as a gate driver 504a that outputs scanning signals to the gate lines GL_1 to GL_X, a source driver 504b that supplies data signals to the data lines DL_1 to DL_Y, and the like. The gate driver 504a may have a structure including at least a shift register. In addition, the source driver 504b is constituted by, for ex...

Abstract

Provided is a support tool for supporting a flexible component. The support tool for a flexible component is foldable without impairing reliability of the flexible component. The support tool has a region in which two different hinges overlap, and in the region, a bending operation is possible in only one direction from a state of forming a plane. Thus, even when an unintended reverse-direction bending stress is applied to the region, it is possible to protect the flexible component or the support tool. In addition, two hinges have mechanisms for correcting the positions of each other, so that it is possible to perform a stable bending operation.

Description
