[0042] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of a foldable device 1001 according to an embodiment.

[0044] Reference Figure 1, an embodiment of a foldable device 1001 includes a housing HS and a flexible display panel 300. The housing HS includes a hinge structure 100 and a plate structure 201. The foldable device 1001 has a right side R and a left side L.

[0045] The hinge structure 100 includes a first body 110, a second body 120, and a hinge 130. The first body 110 includes an upper surface 111 and a lower surface 112 substantially located (or arranged) opposite to the upper surface 111. The first body 110 includes a guide portion 115. The first body 110 includes an inner side 113 adjacent to the hinge 130 and an outer side 114 substantially located opposite to the inner side 113.

[0046] The second body 120 includes an upper surface 121 and a lower surface 122 positioned substantially opposite to the upper surface 121. The second body 120 includes a guide portion 125. The second body 120 includes an inner side 123 adjacent to the hinge 130 and an outer side 124 positioned substantially opposite to the inner side 123.

[0047] The hinge 130 may connect the first body 110 to the second body 120. The hinge 130 includes an upper surface 131 and a lower surface 132 positioned substantially opposite to the upper surface 131. The hinge 130 includes a middle portion 130c positioned in the middle. The middle portion 130c may be a joint. The hinge 130 includes a first peripheral portion 130a positioned between the middle portion 130c and the first body 110. The first peripheral portion 130a may be a joint. The hinge 130 includes a second peripheral portion 130b positioned between the middle portion 130c and the second body 120. The second peripheral portion 130b may be a joint. In an embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown in , hinge 130 has a multi-joint structure. Alternatively, hinge 130 may include a single rotatable shaft. Alternatively, hinge 130 may include two rotatable shafts. In an embodiment, when hinge 130 includes two rotatable shafts, hinge 130 may also include a connecting body (or a third body) that is positioned between the two rotatable shafts and rotatably fixes the two rotatable shafts to each other. The middle portion 130c of hinge 130 corresponds to the connecting body or the middle portion of the connecting body.

[0048] The plate structure 201 is positioned or arranged on the hinge structure 100. The plate structure 201 includes a first plate region (or first plate portion) 210 and a second plate region (or second plate portion) 220. The plate structure 201 may have a substantially uniform thickness. Alternatively, the plate structure 201 may have various shapes in the thickness direction. The first plate region 210 and the second plate region 220 may be rigid.

[0049] The first plate area 210 is positioned on the first body 110. The first plate area 210 includes an upper surface 211. The first plate area 210 includes an inner side 213 adjacent to the hinge 130 and an outer side 214 positioned substantially opposite to the inner side 213. The first plate area 210 includes a guide portion 215. The guide portion 215 of the first plate area 210 may be coupled to the guide portion 115 of the first body 110 so that the first plate area 210 and the first body 110 slide in substantially opposite directions while guiding each other. In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown in , the first plate region 210 may be contained or wrapped by the first body 110. Alternatively, the first body 110 may be contained or wrapped by the first plate region 210.

[0050] The second plate area 220 is positioned on the second body 120. The second plate area 220 includes an upper surface 221. The second plate area 220 includes an inner side 223 adjacent to the hinge 130 and an outer side 224 positioned substantially opposite to the inner side 223. The second plate area 220 includes a guide portion 225. The guide portion 225 of the second plate area 220 may be coupled to the guide portion 125 of the second body 120 so that the second plate area 220 and the second body 120 slide in substantially opposite directions while guiding each other. In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown in , the second plate area 220 can be contained or wrapped by the second body 120. Alternatively, the second body 120 can be contained or wrapped by the second plate area 220.

[0051] In an embodiment, Figure 1 As shown in , the guide portion 215 and the guide portion 225 of the plate structure 201 are respectively inserted into the guide portion 115 and the guide portion 125 of the hinge structure 100. Alternatively, the foldable device 1001 may have a structure in which the guide portion 115 and the guide portion 125 of the hinge structure 100 are respectively inserted into the guide portion 215 and the guide portion 225 of the plate structure 201.

[0052] The flexible display panel 300 is positioned on the housing HS. The flexible display panel 300 includes a first region (or first portion) 310, a second region (or second portion) 320, and a third region (or third portion) 330. In an embodiment, a buffer flexible sheet (not shown) may be disposed on or attached to the lower surface of the flexible display panel 300 to flatten the upper surface of the housing HS or to offset the irregularity of the upper surface of the housing HS. When the expression "A" is attached to "B" is used, it means that "A" and "B" are fixed horizontally and vertically to each other, and there is or is not at least one layer between "A" and "B".

[0053] The first region 310 has a position horizontally fixed to the first plate region 210. The second region 320 has a position horizontally fixed to the second plate region 220. Here, when "A" is described as having a position horizontally fixed to "B", it includes the following cases: "A" is directly horizontally fixed to "B" using a possible joining method selected from various joining methods such as screw joint, adhesive bonding, double-sided adhesive layer bonding, and welding in consideration of the material of "A" and the material of "B"; "A" is not directly fixed to "B" but is indirectly horizontally fixed to "B" so that relative movement between "A" and "B" is difficult due to the balance of forces that can be applied by a spring or the like; and because the material of "A" and the material of "B" are substantially the same as each other, "A" and "B" are integrally formed with each other as a single, unitary, and inseparable unit.

[0054] The third area 330 is positioned between the first area 310 and the second area 320. The third area 330 corresponds to the hinge 130. The third area 330 includes a first peripheral portion 330a, a middle portion 330c, and a second peripheral portion 330b. The middle portion 330c is positioned in the middle of the third area 330. The middle portion 330c of the third area 330 corresponds to the middle portion 130c of the hinge 130. The middle portion 330c of the third area 330 has a position horizontally fixed to the middle portion 130c of the hinge 130. The first peripheral portion 330a is positioned between the first area 310 and the middle portion 330c. The first peripheral portion 330a of the third area 330 corresponds to the first peripheral portion 130a of the hinge 130. The first peripheral portion 330a of the third area 330 does not have a position horizontally fixed to the first peripheral portion 130a of the hinge 130, or has a position not horizontally fixed to the first peripheral portion 130a of the hinge 130. Here, when "A" has a position that is not fixed horizontally to "B", the relative position of "A" with respect to "B" in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of "B" is not fixed, or "A" is allowed to move in a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of "B" while being coupled to "B". The second peripheral portion 330b is positioned between the second area 320 and the middle portion 330c. The second peripheral portion 330b of the third area 330 corresponds to the second peripheral portion 130b of the hinge 130. The second peripheral portion 330b of the third area 330 does not have a position that is fixed horizontally to the second peripheral portion 130b of the hinge 130.

[0055] In such an embodiment, in the case where the first region 310 of the flexible display panel 300 has a position horizontally fixed to the first panel region 210, the first panel region 210 does not have a position horizontally fixed to the first body 110. Therefore, the first region 310 of the flexible display panel 300 does not have a position horizontally fixed to the first body 110.

[0056] In such an embodiment, in the case where the second area 320 of the flexible display panel 300 has a position horizontally fixed to the second panel area 220, the second panel area 220 does not have a position horizontally fixed to the second body 120. Therefore, the second area 320 of the flexible display panel 300 does not have a position horizontally fixed to the second body 120.

[0057] The foldable device 1001 can be unfolded by the hinge 130. In the unfolded state, the upper surface 111 of the first body 110, the upper surface 131 of the hinge 130, and the upper surface 121 of the second body 120 are positioned in substantially the same plane, and the lower surface 112 of the first body 110, the lower surface 132 of the hinge 130, and the lower surface 122 of the second body 120 are positioned in substantially the same plane. In such an embodiment, the upper surface or the lower surface of the substantially same plane may not be completely flat. In the unfolded state, the hinge 130 and the outer side 214 of the first plate area 210 are separated by a first distance L1. In the unfolded state, the hinge 130 and the outer side 224 of the second plate area 220 are separated by a second distance L2. The first distance L1 and the second distance L2 may be substantially equal to each other.

[0058] The foldable device 1001 can be in-folded by the hinge 130. The hinge 130 can be an in-foldable hinge or an in-foldable hinge. In the in-folded state, the upper surface 111 of the first body 110 and the upper surface 121 of the second body 120 face each other, and the lower surface 112 of the first body 110 and the lower surface 122 of the second body 120 are positioned substantially back to back with each other. In the in-folded state, the hinge 130 and the outer side 214 of the first plate area 210 are separated by a third distance L3. The third distance L3 is substantially greater than the first distance L1. In the in-folded state, the hinge 130 and the outer side 224 of the second plate area 220 are separated by a fourth distance L4. The fourth distance L4 is substantially greater than the second distance L2.

[0059] In the inner folded state, compressive stress is applied to the portion of the emitting surface of the flexible display panel 300 positioned in the third region 330. The hinge 130 and the outer side 214 of the first panel region 210 are separated by a first distance L1 in the unfolded state and by a third distance L3 substantially greater than the first distance L1 in the inner folded state. The hinge 130 and the outer side 224 of the second panel region 220 are separated by a second distance L2 in the unfolded state and by a fourth distance L4 substantially greater than the second distance L2 in the inner folded state. Therefore, in such an embodiment, damage to the portion of the emitting surface of the flexible display panel 300 positioned in the third region 330 due to compressive stress is substantially reduced.

[0060] The foldable device 1001 can be folded outwardly by the hinge 130. The hinge 130 can be an outwardly foldable hinge or an inwardly foldable hinge. In the outwardly folded state, the upper surface 111 of the first body 110 and the upper surface 121 of the second body 120 are positioned substantially back to back with each other, and the lower surface 112 of the first body 110 and the lower surface 122 of the second body 120 face each other. In the outwardly folded state, the hinge 130 and the outer side 214 of the first plate area 210 are separated by a fifth distance L5. The fifth distance L5 is substantially smaller than the first distance L1. In the outwardly folded state, the hinge 130 and the outer side 224 of the second plate area 220 are separated by a sixth distance L6. The sixth distance L6 is substantially smaller than the second distance L2.

[0061] In the outer folded state, tensile stress is applied to the portion of the emitting surface of the flexible display panel 300 positioned in the third region 330. The hinge 130 and the outer side 214 of the first panel region 210 are separated by a first distance L1 in the unfolded state and a fifth distance L5 which is substantially smaller than the first distance L1 in the outer folded state. The hinge 130 and the outer side 224 of the second panel region 220 are separated by a second distance L2 in the unfolded state and a sixth distance L6 which is substantially smaller than the second distance L2 in the outer folded state. Therefore, in such an embodiment, damage to the portion of the emitting surface of the flexible display panel 300 positioned in the third region 330 due to tensile stress is greatly reduced.

[0062] In the unfolded state, the gap G1 between the first panel area 210 and the second panel area 220 is significantly larger than the width W1 of the hinge 130. Therefore, when the hinge 130 is folded outward, the interference of the first panel area 210 and the second panel area 220 on the outward folding of the third area 330 of the flexible display panel 300 can be reduced.

[0063] In the unfolded state, the upper surface 211 of the first panel area 210, the upper surface 131 of the hinge 130, and the upper surface 221 of the second panel area 220 are positioned in substantially the same plane. Therefore, in the unfolded state, the lower surface of the flexible display panel 300 can be effectively maintained to be substantially flat, so that the upper surface of the flexible display panel 300 is substantially flat.

[0064] In an embodiment, in the case where the upper surface 211 of the first panel area 210, the upper surface 131 of the hinge 130, and the upper surface 221 of the second panel area 220 are not positioned in substantially the same plane in the unfolded state, the height compensation layer may be positioned on at least one selected from the group of the upper surface 211 of the first panel area 210, the upper surface 131 of the hinge 130, and the upper surface 221 of the second panel area 220, so that the lower surface of the flexible display panel 300 is substantially flat in the unfolded state. The height compensation layer may be a single-sided adhesive layer including at least one film. Alternatively, the height compensation layer may be a double-sided adhesive layer including at least one film. Since the lower surface of the flexible display panel 300 remains substantially flat in the unfolded state, the upper surface of the flexible display panel 300 may also remain substantially flat.

[0065] In the unfolded state, the outer side 114 of the first body 110 is positioned outside the outer side 214 of the first panel area 210, and the outer side 124 of the second body 120 is positioned outside the outer side 224 of the second panel area 220. Therefore, the flexible display panel 300 can be effectively protected from the impact that may be applied from the left side L and the right side R of the foldable device 1001. In such an embodiment, the length of the area in which the guide portion 215 of the first panel area 210 and the guide portion 115 of the first body 110 are combined with each other and the length of the area in which the guide portion 225 of the second panel area 220 and the guide portion 125 of the second body 120 are combined with each other can be considerable, so that the first panel area 210 and the first body 110 are stably combined with each other and the second panel area 220 and the second body 120 are stably combined with each other.

[0066] In an embodiment, a first rib structure may be defined or formed between a lower surface of the first plate region 210 of the plate structure 201 and an upper surface 111 of the first body 110 to effectively prevent sagging of the first plate region 210 of the plate structure 201. In such an embodiment, a second rib structure may be defined or formed between a lower surface of the second plate region 220 of the plate structure 201 and an upper surface 121 of the second body 120 to effectively prevent sagging of the second plate region 220 of the plate structure 201.

[0067] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a foldable device 1002 according to an alternative embodiment. Figure 1 Any repeated detailed description of elements and features of the foldable device 1001 that are substantially the same as those of the foldable device 1001.

[0068] Reference Figure 2In the unfolded state, the outer side 114 of the first body 110 may be positioned inside the outer side 214 of the first panel region 210 , and the outer side 124 of the second body 120 may be positioned inside the outer side 224 of the second panel region 220 .

[0069] Therefore, in such an embodiment, the width of the foldable device 1002 can be reduced, thereby improving portability. In such an embodiment, the length of the area where the guide portion 215 of the first plate area 210 and the guide portion 115 of the first body 110 are combined with each other and the length of the area where the guide portion 225 of the second plate area 220 and the guide portion 125 of the second body 120 are combined with each other can be quite small, so that the force for folding or unfolding the hinge 130 can be reduced.

[0070] Alternatively, the first body 110 may be contained or packaged by the first panel region 210. In such an embodiment, the panel structure 201 may further include a first cover (not shown) that prevents exposure of the first body 110 and is bonded to the first panel region 210. The first cover may be integrally formed with the first panel region 210 as a single, unitary, and indivisible unit.

[0071] Alternatively, the second body 120 may be contained or packaged by the second panel region 220. In such an embodiment, the panel structure 201 may further include a second cover (not shown) that prevents exposure of the second body 120 and is bonded to the second panel region 220. The second cover may be integrally formed with the second panel region 220 as a single, unitary, and indivisible unit.

[0072] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a foldable device 1003 according to another alternative embodiment. Figure 1 Any repeated detailed description of elements and features of the foldable device 1001 that are substantially the same as those of the foldable device 1001.

[0073] Reference Figure 3 In the unfolded state, the outer side 114 of the first body 110 is positioned inside the outer side 214 of the first panel area 210 , and the outer side 124 of the second body 120 is positioned outside the outer side 224 of the second panel area 220 .

[0074] In such an embodiment, because the outer side 114 of the first body 110 is positioned inside the outer side 214 of the first panel region 210 in the unfolded state, the width of the foldable device 1003 may be reduced, thereby improving portability.

[0075] In such an embodiment, because the outer side 114 of the first body 110 is positioned inside the outer side 214 of the first panel area 210 in the unfolded state, the length by which the guide portion 215 of the first panel area 210 and the guide portion 115 of the first body 110 are coupled to each other can be quite small, so that the force used to fold or unfold the hinge 130 can be reduced.

[0076] In such an embodiment, because only the outer side 124 of the second body 120 is positioned outside the outer side 224 of the second panel area 220 , the outer side 224 of the second panel area 220 can protect the flexible display panel 300 from impact that may be applied from the right side R of the foldable device 1003 .

[0077] In such an embodiment, because the outer side 124 of the second body 120 is positioned outside the outer side 224 of the second plate area 220, the length by which the guide portion 225 of the second plate area 220 and the guide portion 125 of the second body 120 are combined with each other can be made long so that the second plate area 220 and the second body 120 are stably combined.

[0078] Alternatively, the first body 110 may be contained or packaged by the first board region 210. In such an embodiment, the board structure 201 may further include a first cover that prevents exposure of the first body 110 and is bonded to the first board region 210. The first cover may be integrally formed with the first board region 210 as a single, unitary, and indivisible unit.

In such an embodiment, Figure 1 The second panel area 220 shown in FIG. 1 can be fixed horizontally directly to the Figure 1 The second body 120 shown in FIG. Figure 1 The second plate area 220 shown in FIG. Figure 1 The second body 120 shown in FIG. 1 is integrally formed as a single, unitary and indivisible unit. In such an embodiment, Figure 1 The upper surface 221 of the second plate region 220 shown in FIG. 2 corresponds to Figure 1 The upper surface 121 of the second body 120 is shown in FIG.

[0081] The third region 330 of the flexible display panel 300 does not have a position horizontally fixed to the hinge 130 .

[0082] In the unfolded state, the gap G2 between the first panel area 210 and the second body 120 is significantly larger than the width W1 of the hinge 130. Therefore, when the hinge 130 is folded outward, the interference of the first panel area 210 on the outward folding of the third area 330 of the flexible display panel 300 can be reduced.

[0084] Reference Figure 5 , in the unfolded state, the outer side 114 of the first body 110 is positioned inside the outer side 214 of the first panel area 210. Therefore, the width of the foldable device 1005 can be reduced, thereby improving portability. In such an embodiment, the length by which the guide portion 215 of the first panel area 210 and the guide portion 115 of the first body 110 are combined with each other can be quite small, so that the force for folding or unfolding the hinge 130 can be reduced.

[0087] Reference Figure 6 , the hinge 130 includes a guide portion 135. The guide portion 135 of the hinge 130 is positioned between the guide portion 115 of the first body 110 and the guide portion 125 of the second body 120. The guide portion 135 of the hinge 130 may be connected to the guide portion 115 of the first body 110 and the guide portion 125 of the second body 120.

[0088] The plate structure 201 is positioned on the hinge structure 100. The plate structure 201 includes a first plate area 210, a second plate area 220 and a third plate area 230.

[0089] The first plate area 210 is opposite to the first body 110. The first plate area 210 includes an inner side 213 connected to the third plate area 230 and an outer side 214 located substantially opposite to the inner side 213. The first plate area 210 includes a guide portion 215. The guide portion 215 of the first plate area 210 may be coupled to the guide portion 115 of the first body 110 so that the first plate area 210 and the first body 110 slide in substantially opposite directions while guiding each other.

[0090] The second plate area 220 is opposite to the second body 120. The second plate area 220 includes an inner side 223 connected to the third plate area 230 and an outer side 224 located substantially opposite to the inner side 223. The second plate area 220 includes a guide portion 225. The guide portion 225 of the second plate area 220 may be coupled to the guide portion 125 of the second body 120 so that the second plate area 220 and the second body 120 slide in substantially opposite directions while guiding each other.

[0091] The third panel area 230 is positioned between the first panel area 210 and the second panel area 220. The third panel area 230 is opposite to the hinge 130. The third panel area 230 has a lower stiffness than the first panel area 210 and the second panel area 220. In one embodiment, for example, the third panel area 230 may be flexible. In one embodiment, for example, the first panel area 210 and the second panel area 220 may be rigid, and the third panel area 230 may be flexible.

[0092] The third plate area 230 includes a first peripheral portion 230a, a middle portion 230c, and a second peripheral portion 230b. The middle portion 230c is positioned in the middle of the third plate area 230. The middle portion 230c of the third plate area 230 has a position horizontally fixed to the middle portion 130c of the hinge 130. The first peripheral portion 230a is positioned between the first plate area 210 and the middle portion 230c. The first peripheral portion 230a of the third plate area 230 does not have a position horizontally fixed to the first peripheral portion 130a of the hinge 130. The second peripheral portion 230b is positioned between the second plate area 220 and the middle portion 230c. The second peripheral portion 230b of the third plate area 230 does not have a position horizontally fixed to the second peripheral portion 130b of the hinge 130.

[0093] The third plate region 230 includes a guide portion 235. The guide portion 235 of the third plate region 230 is coupled to the guide portion 135 of the hinge 130, so that the first peripheral portion 230a of the third plate region 230 of the plate structure 201 and the first peripheral portion 130a of the hinge 130 slide in substantially opposite directions while guiding each other, and the second peripheral portion 230b of the third plate region 230 of the plate structure 201 and the second peripheral portion 130b of the hinge 130 slide in substantially opposite directions while guiding each other.

[0094] The flexible display panel 300 is positioned on the housing HS. The flexible display panel 300 includes a first region 310, a second region 320, and a third region 330. In an embodiment, a buffer flexible sheet (not shown) may be attached to the lower surface of the flexible display panel 300 to offset irregularities that may exist on the upper surface of the housing HS.

[0095] In an embodiment, the first region 310, the second region 320, and the third region 330 of the flexible display panel 300 respectively have positions horizontally fixed to the first panel region 210, the second panel region 220, and the third panel region 230 of the panel structure 201. The first peripheral portion 330a, the middle portion 330c, and the second peripheral portion 330b of the third region 330 of the flexible display panel 300 respectively have positions horizontally fixed to the first peripheral portion 230a, the middle portion 230c, and the second peripheral portion 230b of the third panel region 230 of the panel structure 201.

[0096] In such an embodiment, in the case where the first area 310 of the flexible display panel 300 has a position horizontally fixed to the first panel area 210 of the panel structure 201, the first panel area 210 of the panel structure 201 does not have a position horizontally fixed to the first body 110. Therefore, the first area 310 of the flexible display panel 300 does not have a position horizontally fixed to the first body 110.

[0097] In such an embodiment, in the case where the second area 320 of the flexible display panel 300 has a position horizontally fixed to the second panel area 220 of the panel structure 201, the second panel area 220 of the panel structure 201 does not have a position horizontally fixed to the second body 120. Therefore, the second area 320 of the flexible display panel 300 does not have a position horizontally fixed to the second body 120.

[0098] In such an embodiment, in the case where the first peripheral portion 330a of the third region 330 of the flexible display panel 300 has a position horizontally fixed to the first peripheral portion 230a of the third panel region 230 of the panel structure 201, the first peripheral portion 230a of the third panel region 230 of the panel structure 201 does not have a position horizontally fixed to the first peripheral portion 130a of the hinge 130. Therefore, the first peripheral portion 330a of the third region 330 of the flexible display panel 300 does not have a position horizontally fixed to the first peripheral portion 130a of the hinge 130.

[0099] In such an embodiment, in the case where the second peripheral portion 330b of the third region 330 of the flexible display panel 300 has a position horizontally fixed to the second peripheral portion 230b of the third panel region 230 of the panel structure 201, the second peripheral portion 230b of the third panel region 230 of the panel structure 201 does not have a position horizontally fixed to the second peripheral portion 130b of the hinge 130. Therefore, the second peripheral portion 330b of the third region 330 of the flexible display panel 300 does not have a position horizontally fixed to the second peripheral portion 130b of the hinge 130.

[0100] The middle portion 330c of the third region 330 of the flexible display panel 300 has a position horizontally fixed to the middle portion 230c of the third panel region 230 of the panel structure 201, and the middle portion 230c of the third panel region 230 of the panel structure 201 also has a position horizontally fixed to the middle portion 130c of the hinge 130. Therefore, the middle portion 330c of the third region 330 of the flexible display panel 300 has a position horizontally fixed to the hinge 130.

[0101] In an embodiment, when the hinge 130 is foldable, the width W2 of the third panel region 230 of the panel structure 201 in the unfolded state is substantially greater than the width W1 of the hinge 130 in the unfolded state. Therefore, when the hinge 130 is folded outward, the interference of the first panel region 210 and the second panel region 220 with the outward folding of the third region 330 of the flexible display panel 300 can be reduced.

[0104] Therefore, the width of the foldable device 1007 can be reduced, thereby improving portability. In such an embodiment, the length by which the guide portion 215 of the first panel area 210 of the panel structure 201 and the guide portion 115 of the first body 110 are combined with each other and the length by which the guide portion 225 of the second panel area 220 and the guide portion 125 of the second body 120 are combined with each other can be quite small, so that the force for folding or unfolding the hinge 130 can be reduced.

[0105] Alternatively, the first body 110 may be contained or packaged by the first board region 210. In such an embodiment, the board structure 201 may further include a first cover that prevents exposure of the first body 110 and is bonded to the first board region 210. The first cover may be integrally formed with the first board region 210 as a single, unitary, and indivisible unit.

[0106] Alternatively, the second body 120 may be contained or packaged by the second panel region 220.

[0109] In such an embodiment, because the outer side 114 of the first body 110 is positioned inside the outer side 214 of the first panel region 210 of the panel structure 201 in the unfolded state, the width of the foldable device 1008 can be reduced, thereby improving portability.

[0110] In such an embodiment, because the outer side 114 of the first body 110 is positioned inside the outer side 214 of the first panel area 210 of the panel structure 201 in the unfolded state, the length by which the guide portion 215 of the first panel area 210 of the panel structure 201 and the guide portion 115 of the first body 110 are combined with each other can be quite small, so that the force used to fold or unfold the hinge 130 can be reduced.

[0111] In such an embodiment, because the outer side 124 of the second body 120 is positioned outside the outer side 224 of the second panel area 220 of the panel structure 201, the outer side 224 of the second panel area 220 of the panel structure 201 can protect the flexible display panel 300 from the impact that may be applied from the right side R of the foldable device 1008.

[0112] In such an embodiment, because the outer side 124 of the second body 120 is positioned outside the outer side 224 of the second plate area 220 of the plate structure 201, the length by which the guide portion 225 of the second plate area 220 of the plate structure 201 and the guide portion 125 of the second body 120 are combined with each other can be quite large so that the second plate area 220 of the plate structure 201 and the second body 120 are stably combined.

[0117] In the embodiment where the hinge 130 is foldable, the width W2 of the third panel region 230 of the panel structure 201 in the unfolded state is substantially greater than the width W1 of the hinge 130 in the unfolded state. Therefore, when the hinge 130 is folded outward, the interference of the first panel region 210 of the panel structure 201 on the outward folding of the third region 330 of the flexible display panel 300 can be reduced.

[0119] Reference Fig.10 In the unfolded state, the outer side 114 of the first body 110 is positioned inside the outer side 214 of the first panel region 210 of the panel structure 201 .

[0120] Therefore, the width of the foldable device 1010 can be reduced, thereby improving portability. In addition, the length by which the guide portion 215 of the first plate area 210 of the plate structure 201 and the guide portion 115 of the first body 110 are combined with each other can be quite small, so that the force for folding or unfolding the hinge 130 can be reduced.

[0121] Alternatively, the first body 110 may be contained or packaged by the first board region 210. In such an embodiment, the board structure 201 may further include a first cover that prevents exposure of the first body 110 and is bonded to the first board region 210.

[0123] Reference Fig.11 , the first plate area 210 of the plate structure 201 has no position horizontally fixed to the first body 110. The second plate area 220 of the plate structure 201 has no position horizontally fixed to the second body 120. The third plate area 230 of the plate structure 201 has no position horizontally fixed to the hinge 130.

[0124] The hinge 130 may be folded after the plate structure 201 moves a predetermined distance W7 in the first direction D1. In such an embodiment, the hinge 130 may be, for example, folded outward. The hinge 130 may be folded after the plate structure 201 moves a predetermined distance W8 in the second direction D2. The second direction D2 may be substantially opposite to the first direction D1. In such an embodiment, the hinge 130 may be, for example, folded outward.

[0125] In the unfolded state, the width W9 of the third panel area 230 of the panel structure 201 is substantially equal to or significantly greater than the sum of the predetermined distance W7, the width W1, and the predetermined distance W8. Therefore, in such an embodiment, even when the hinge 130 is folded after the panel structure 201 moves the predetermined distance W7 in the first direction D1, the interference of the second panel area 220 of the panel structure 201 with the outer folding of the third area 330 of the flexible display panel 300 can be reduced. In such an embodiment, even when the hinge 130 is folded after the panel structure 201 moves the predetermined distance W8 in the second direction D2, the interference of the first panel area 210 of the panel structure 201 with the outer folding of the third area 330 of the flexible display panel 300 can be reduced.

[0126] Fig.12 and Fig.13 A foldable device 1012 is shown according to another alternative embodiment.

[0127] Reference Fig.12 , the foldable device 1012 includes a housing HS and a flexible display panel 300. The housing HS corresponds to the hinge structure 500. The hinge structure 500 includes a first body 510, a second body 520, and a hinge 530. The first body 510 includes an upper surface 511 and a lower surface 512 positioned substantially opposite to the upper surface 511. The second body 520 includes an upper surface 521 and a lower surface 522 positioned substantially opposite to the upper surface 521. The foldable device 1012 has a right side R and a left side L.

[0128] The hinge 530 may connect the first body 510 to the second body 520. The hinge 530 includes a first rotatable shaft 530a, a second rotatable shaft 530b, and a connecting body 530c. The first rotatable shaft 530a is inserted into the first body 510. The second rotatable shaft 530b is inserted into the second body 520. The first rotatable shaft 530a and the second rotatable shaft 530b are inserted into the connecting body 530c.

[0129] In the unfolded state, the upper surface 511 of the first body 510 and the upper surface 521 of the second body 520 are positioned in substantially the same plane, and the lower surface 512 of the first body 510 and the lower surface 522 of the second body 520 are positioned in substantially the same plane. In such an embodiment, the upper surfaces of substantially the same plane may not be completely flat. In the unfolded state, the first body 510 and the second body 520 are separated from each other by a gap G3.

[0130] The flexible display panel 300 is positioned on the housing HS. The flexible display panel 300 includes a first region 310, a second region 320, and a third region 330. In an embodiment, a buffer flexible sheet (not shown) may be attached to the lower surface of the flexible display panel 300 to offset irregularities that the upper surface of the housing HS may have.

[0131] The first area 310 has a position horizontally fixed to the first body 510. In one embodiment, for example, the first area 310 may be attached to the first body 510. The second area 320 has a position horizontally fixed to the second body 520. In one embodiment, for example, the second area 320 may be attached to the second body 520. The third area 330 is positioned between the first area 310 and the second area 320. The third area 330 includes a first peripheral portion 330a, a middle portion 330c, and a second peripheral portion 330b. The middle portion 330c is positioned in a space defined between the first area 310 and the second area 320. The middle portion 330c corresponds to the space S between the first body 510 and the second body 520. The width W3 of the middle portion 330c may be substantially equal to the gap G3 between the first body 510 and the second body 520.

[0132] The first peripheral portion 330a is positioned between the first area 310 and the middle portion 330c. The first peripheral portion 330a is not attached to the first body 510. The second peripheral portion 330b is positioned between the second area 320 and the middle portion 330c. The second peripheral portion 330b is not attached to the second body 520. The width W4 of the first peripheral portion 330a may be substantially equal to the width W5 of the second peripheral portion 330b. Since the first area 310 and the second area 320 have positions horizontally fixed to the first body 510 and the second body 520, respectively, the middle portion 330c has a position horizontally fixed to the middle portion of the hinge 530.

[0133] Reference Fig.13, the foldable device 1012 may be folded inwardly by the hinge 530. In the inwardly folded state, the upper surface 511 of the first body 510 and the upper surface 521 of the second body 520 face each other, and the lower surface 512 of the first body 510 and the lower surface 522 of the second body 520 are positioned substantially back to back with each other.

[0134] When the foldable device 1012 is folded inwardly by the hinge 530, the first rotatable shaft 530a and the second rotatable shaft 530b are separated by the gap G4 through the connecting body 530c. Therefore, the upper surface 511 of the first body 510 and the upper surface 521 of the second body 520 are also separated from each other. Therefore, the third area 330 of the flexible display panel 300 can be folded with a predetermined radius of curvature. Therefore, in such an embodiment, when the foldable device 1012 is folded inwardly by the hinge 530, damage to the third area 330 of the flexible display panel 300 can be effectively prevented.

The plate structure 201 includes a first plate region 210, a second plate region 220, and a third plate region 230. The first plate region 210 corresponds to the first body 510. The first plate region 210 has a position horizontally fixed to the first body 510. In one embodiment, for example, the first plate region 210 is attached to the first body 510. The second plate region 220 corresponds to the second body 520. The second plate region 220 has a position horizontally fixed to the second body 520. In one embodiment, for example, the second plate region 220 is attached to the second body 520. The third plate region 230 is positioned between the first plate region 210 and the second plate region 220. The third plate region 230 corresponds to the hinge 530. The third plate region 230 may have a lower stiffness than the first plate region 210 and the second plate region 220. In one embodiment, for example, the third plate region 230 may be flexible. The third plate region 230 has a width W6 that is substantially greater than the gap G3 between the first body 510 and the second body 520. The third plate region 230 is not attached to the hinge structure 500.

[0137] The flexible display panel 300 is positioned on the housing HS. The flexible display panel 300 has a first region 310, a second region 320, and a third region 330. In an embodiment, a buffer flexible sheet (not shown) may be attached to the lower surface of the flexible display panel 300 to offset the irregularities that may exist on the upper surface of the housing HS. The first region 310 has a position horizontally fixed to the first panel region 210 of the panel structure 201. The second region 320 has a position horizontally fixed to the second panel region 220 of the panel structure 201. The third region 330 is positioned between the first region 310 and the second region 320. The third region 330 has a position horizontally fixed to the third panel region 230 of the panel structure 201.

[0138] In the unfolded state, the third panel region 230 of the panel structure 201 is positioned between the space S defined between the first body 510 and the second body 520 and the third region 330 of the flexible display panel 300. Therefore, in the unfolded state, the lower surface of the third region 330 of the flexible display panel 300 can remain substantially flat on the space S between the first body 510 and the second body 520.

[0139] Reference Fig.15 , the third region 330 of the flexible display panel 300 is folded within a predetermined radius of curvature. In such an embodiment, the third region 330 of the flexible display panel 300 is protected by the third panel region 230 of the panel structure 201. Therefore, in such an embodiment, when the hinge 530 is folded, damage to the third region 330 of the flexible display panel 300 can be effectively prevented.

[0140] Fig.16A It is shown Figures 6 to 11 , Fig.14 and Fig.15 A perspective view of an embodiment of a plate structure is shown in FIG.

[0141] Reference Fig.16A In an embodiment, the third plate region 230 of the plate structure 202 is a region in which the hole H is defined. Therefore, the third plate region 230 of the plate structure 202 may be flexible. In a plan view, the hole H may extend in the direction along which the third plate region 230 extends. Fig.16AAs shown in , the direction along which the third plate area 230 extends is substantially the same as the direction along which the first rotatable axis 530a and the second rotatable axis 530b extend. This is because the width direction of the third plate area 230 is substantially perpendicular to the first rotatable axis 530a and the second rotatable axis 530b extending in the length direction of the third plate area 230. Alternatively, in a plan view, the hole H may extend in a direction perpendicular to the direction along which the third plate area 230 extends (i.e., the width direction of the third plate area 230). The density of the hole H may increase from the first peripheral portion 230a and the second peripheral portion 230b toward the middle portion 230c. The hole H may also be defined or formed in the first plate area 210 and the second plate area 220 adjacent to the third plate area 230.

[0142] In an embodiment, Figures 6 to 11 In the case where the hinge 130 shown includes a plurality of joints, Fig.16A The width of the hole H measured in the direction perpendicular to the folding axis is substantially smaller than Figures 6 to 11 The width of the joint included in the hinge 130 measured in a direction perpendicular to the folding axis. Therefore, the upper surface of the flexible display panel 300 as the emission surface can be kept substantially flat.

[0143] Fig. 16B yes Fig.16A Magnified view of area "A" in the middle.

[0144] Reference Fig. 16B , the side area of ​​the third panel area 230 has at least one convex portion CVP protruding in a plan view and at least one concave portion CCP recessed in a plan view. The convex portion CVP has at least one corner C1, which is rounded in a plan view or when viewed from a plan view in the thickness direction of the hinge 130. Therefore, for example, the guide portion 235 of the third panel area 230 can be effectively or smoothly coupled to the guide portion 135 of the hinge 130. When the corner C1 of the convex portion CVP is angled, the corner C1 may be caught (or captured) on an adjacent structure (e.g., the connecting body 530c) when the third panel area 230 is folded or unfolded. When the corner C1 is caught on the adjacent structure, the third panel area 230 may be deformed. The deformation of the third panel area 230 may cause the deformation of the flexible display panel 300. Therefore, the deformation of the flexible display panel 300 can be effectively prevented by rounding the corner C1 in a plan view.

[0145] The recessed portion CCP has at least one recessed corner C2 which is rounded in a plan view or when viewed from a plan view in the thickness direction of the hinge 130. When the side area of ​​the third plate area 230 has the convex portion CVP and the recessed portion CCP having the recessed corner C2, cracks may be easily generated from the recessed corner C2, compared to when the side area of ​​the third plate area 230 has a straight profile, and then, by repeatedly folding and unfolding the third plate area 230, the cracks may extend a little bit toward the center of the third plate area 230. When the recessed corner C2 is generally angled, cracks of the recessed corner C2 may be easily generated. Therefore, by making the recessed corner C2 rounded in a plan view, the generation and / or extension of cracks can be effectively prevented.

[0146] Fig.17 It is shown Figures 6 to 8 201 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the plate structure 201 shown in FIG. Fig.16A and Fig. 16B Elements and features of the plate structure 202 are substantially identical to any repeated detailed descriptions of elements and features.

[0147] Reference Fig.17 In an alternative embodiment, no hole is defined in the middle portion 230c of the third plate region 230 of the plate structure 203. Therefore, the middle portion 230c of the third plate region 230 of the plate structure 203 may have a position more effectively or firmly fixed horizontally to the middle portion 130c of the hinge 130.

[0148] Fig.18 It is shown Figures 6 to 11 , Fig.14 and Fig.15 A perspective view of an embodiment of a plate structure 201 is shown in FIG.

[0149] Reference Fig.18 , the third plate region 230 of the plate structure 204 includes a plurality of joints J1 connected in series between the first plate region 210 and the second plate region 220 of the plate structure 204. Therefore, the third plate region 230 of the plate structure 204 may be flexible.

[0150] In an embodiment, Figures 6 to 11 In the case where the hinge 130 shown includes a plurality of joints, Fig.18 The width of the joint J1 measured in the direction perpendicular to the folding axis is substantially smaller than Figures 6 to 11 The width of the joint included in the hinge 130 measured in a direction perpendicular to the folding axis. Therefore, the upper surface of the flexible display panel 300 as the emission surface can be kept substantially flat.

[0151] According to an embodiment, the first plate region 210 and the second plate region 220 of the plate structure 204 may also include a plurality of joints J1 connected in series.

[0152] Fig.19A It is shown Figures 6 to 11 , Fig.14 and Fig.15 A perspective view of an embodiment of a plate structure 201 is shown in FIG. Fig.19B yes Fig.19A An enlarged view of the encircled portion B of FIG.

[0153] Reference Fig.19A The third plate region 230 of the plate structure 205 includes a plurality of joints J2 connected between the first plate region 210 and the second plate region 220 of the plate structure 205 .

[0154] like Fig.19B As shown in , one of the joints J2 may be surrounded by at least three other joints J2 in a plan view. Therefore, the third plate region 230 of the plate structure 205 may be flexible.

[0155] when Figures 6 to 11 When the hinge 130 shown in FIG. 1 includes multiple joints, Fig.19A and Fig.19B The width of the joint J2 measured in the direction perpendicular to the folding axis is substantially smaller than Figures 6 to 11 The width of the joint included in the hinge 130 measured in a direction perpendicular to the folding axis. Therefore, the upper surface of the flexible display panel 300 as the emission surface can be kept substantially flat.

[0156] Fig. 20 It is shown Figures 6 to 8 201 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the plate structure 201 shown in FIG. Fig.19A and Fig.19B Elements and features of the plate structure 205 are substantially identical to any repeated detailed descriptions of elements and features.

[0157] Reference Fig. 20 , the shape of the middle portion 230c of the third panel area 230 of the panel structure 206 is similar to the connecting strip extending along the folding axis. Therefore, the middle portion 230c of the third panel area 230 of the panel structure 206 can have a position more effectively or firmly fixed horizontally to the middle portion 130c of the hinge 130.

Fig.21In the figure, the dot-dash line indicates a state where the flexible display panel 300 is folded outwardly through the outwardly foldable hinge or the inwardly foldable hinge, and the dotted line indicates a state where the flexible display panel 300 is folded inwardly through the inwardly foldable hinge or the inwardly foldable hinge.
