Description

Rollable electronic devices

[0001] Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to rollable electronic devices.

[0002] Electronic devices are becoming increasingly slimmer, more rigid, and more aesthetically pleasing, while simultaneously improving their functional capabilities. Electronic devices are evolving beyond their traditional rectangular form factor to embrace a diverse range of shapes. Electronic devices may have a transformable structure that allows for portability while also enabling the use of large-screen displays. For example, as an example of a transformable structure, an electronic device may have a structure (e.g., a rollable structure or a slideable structure) that allows the display area of ​​a flexible display to be varied through the support of housings that slide relative to one another. A rollable electronic device (or slideable electronic device) may be configured such that the flexible display can be rolled up or unfolded. A slideable electronic device may be configured such that the flexible display can slide to expand and contract the screen.

[0003] When a bendable section of a display moves in a first direction (e.g., in the x-axis direction) via a bending portion of an electronic device, a compressive force is applied and the gap between the multi-bars of the bendable member narrows. When the gap between the multi-bars narrows, interference between the multi-bars may occur, and local compressive force and tensile stress may occur in the gap between the multi-bars. Such compressive force and tensile stress may cause the display to lift and become deformed. Various embodiments of the present disclosure can provide a bending plate and an electronic device including the same that can reduce tensile stress due to the narrowing of the gap between the multi-bars in a bending portion of an electronic device.

[0004] An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure may include a first housing, a second housing, a flexible display, a bendable member, and a bending plate. The second housing may be slidable in a first direction so that at least a portion thereof is withdrawn from the first housing, and may be slidable in a second direction so that at least a portion thereof is introduced into the first housing. The flexible display may be disposed in a space formed by the first housing and the second housing, and may include a first region that is visually visible to the outside, and a second region that extends from the first region and is accommodated inside in a closed state and is visually visible to the outside in an open state. The bendable member may be disposed on a rear surface of the flexible display to support the flexible display in the closed state and the open state, and may include a plurality of multi-bars that are arranged at a predetermined interval. The bending plate may be attached to the flexible display and the plurality of multi-bars.

[0005] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, a display assembly of an electronic device may include a flexible display, a bendable member, and a bending plate. The flexible display may include a first region arranged to be visible from the outside, and a second region extending from the first region and accommodated inside in a closed state and arranged to be visible from the outside in an open state. The bendable member may be arranged on a rear surface of the flexible display to support the flexible display in the closed state and the open state, and may include a plurality of multi-bars arranged at a predetermined interval. The bending plate may be attached to a lower portion of the flexible display and may be attached to the plurality of multi-bars.

[0006] The technical problems to be achieved in the present invention are not limited to the technical problems mentioned above, and other technical problems not mentioned can be clearly understood by a person having ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention belongs from the description below.

[0007] An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure can reduce the display from being lifted or deformed by placing a bending plate between a display and a bendable member, thereby allowing the bendable member to be flexibly bent by the bending plate and reducing compressive force and tensile stress applied to multi-bars at a bending portion of the electronic device.

These various types of communication modules can be integrated into a single component (e.g., a single chip) or implemented as multiple separate components (e.g., multiple chips). The wireless communication module (192) can verify or authenticate the electronic device (101) within a communication network such as the first network (198) or the second network (199) by using subscriber information (e.g., an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI)) stored in the subscriber identification module (196).

[0058] The wireless communication module (192) can support 5G networks and next-generation communication technologies following the 4G network, such as NR access technology (new radio access technology). The NR access technology can support high-speed transmission of high-capacity data (eMBB (enhanced mobile broadband)), minimization of terminal power and connection of multiple terminals (mMTC (massive machine type communications)), or high reliability and low latency (URLLC (ultra-reliable and low-latency communications)).

The audio module may include a microphone for acquiring external sound and a speaker for outputting sound to the outside. At least the microphone and at least one speaker may be placed within an audio hole (324). In one embodiment, the speaker hole and the microphone hole may be implemented as a single audio hole (324), or a speaker (e.g., a piezo speaker) may be included without a speaker hole. The speaker hole may include an external speaker hole and a receiver hole for calls.

[0079] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may include at least one of an input module (e.g., the input module (150) of FIG. 1), an audio output module (e.g., the audio output module (155) of FIG. 1), a sensor module (307) (e.g., the sensor module (176) of FIG. 1), and a camera module (305) (e.g., the camera module (180) of FIG. 1), a connector port (e.g., the connection terminal (178) of FIG. 1). For example, the camera module (305) (e.g., the camera module (180) of FIG. 1) and the sensor module (307) (e.g., the sensor module (176) of FIG. 1) may be disposed at a lower portion of the display (310). In another embodiment, the electronic device (300) may be configured such that at least one of the above-described components is omitted, or other components are additionally included.

[0080] As an example, the sensor module (307) (e.g., the sensor module (176) of FIG. 1) may generate an electrical signal or data value corresponding to an internal operating state of the electronic device (300) or an external environmental state.

[0081] As an example, the sensor module (307) (e.g., the sensor module (176) of FIG. 1) may include a first sensor module (e.g., a proximity sensor or a light sensor) disposed on the front (301) of the electronic device (300) and / or a second sensor module (e.g., a heart rate monitoring (HRM) sensor) disposed on the back (302).

[0084] As an example, the first state (e.g., closed state) of the electronic device (300) may be expressed as a screen reduction state, a slide-in state, or a slide-close state. As an example, the second state (e.g., open state) of the electronic device (300) may be expressed as a screen expansion state, a slide-out state, or a slide-open state.

[0085] In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) can be configured to transition from a closed state to an open state, or from an open state to a closed state (e.g., a semi-automatic slide operation), without further external force when the display (310) is moved a set distance by an external force.

[0086] In another embodiment, when a signal is generated through an input device included in the electronic device (300), the electronic device (300) may be switched from a closed state to an open state, or from an open state to a closed state, by a driving device such as a motor or hinge connected to the display (310). For example, when a signal is generated through a hardware button or a software button provided through a screen, the electronic device (300) may be switched from a closed state to an open state, or from an open state to a closed state.

[0087] In another embodiment, when signals are generated from various sensors, such as a pressure sensor, the electronic device (300) may be switched from a closed state to an open state, or from an open state to a closed state. For example, when the electronic device (300) is carried or held by hand, a squeeze gesture in which a part of the hand (e.g., the palm or fingers) presses within a designated area of ​​the electronic device (300) may be detected through the sensor, and in response, the electronic device (300) may be switched from a closed state to an open state, or from an open state to a closed state.

[0088] FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a front side (e.g., a first side) (e.g., a side on which a screen is displayed) of an electronic device in a first state (e.g., a closed state) according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a front side (e.g., a first side) (e.g., a side on which a screen is displayed) of an electronic device in a second state (e.g., an open state) according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a back side (e.g., a second side) of an electronic device in a second state (e.g., an open state) according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0089] The electronic device (300) of FIGS. 3 to 5 may be at least partially similar to the electronic device (101) of FIG. 1 or the electronic device (300) of FIG. 2, or may further include other embodiments of the electronic device.

[0090] Referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, a display (310) of an electronic device (300) according to various embodiments of the present disclosure may include an expansion region (312) and a fixed region (314). In an open state (e.g., a second state) of the electronic device (300) according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the fixed region (314) may be supported by one region of a bendable member (e.g., the bendable member 620 of FIGS. 6 and 7). In addition, in an open state (e.g., a second state) of the electronic device (300), the expansion region (312) may be supported by another region of the bendable member (e.g., the bendable member 620 of FIGS. 6 and 7). Accordingly, the fixed region (314) of the display (310) supported by the bendable member (e.g., the bendable member 620 of FIGS. 6 and 7) may form a plane. In addition, some of the extended areas (312) of the display (310) may form a plane by a support plate (e.g., a support plate (641) of FIG. 6), and other parts may form a curved surface by a curved area (e.g., a sliding bar (634) of FIG. 6) (e.g., a pressing portion) of the support plate (e.g., a support plate (641) of FIG. 6).

[0091] As an example, in a closed state (e.g., a first state) of the electronic device (300), at least a portion of the bendable member (e.g., the bendable member (620) of FIG. 6) may be accommodated inside the second housing (370) (e.g., the second housing (660) of FIG. 6). The bendable member (e.g., the bendable member (620) of FIG. 6) may be supported by a sliding bar (e.g., a pressing portion (643) of FIG. 6) of the electronic device (300) (e.g., a sliding bar) and may be introduced into a space between a support plate (e.g., a support plate (641) of FIG. 6) and the second housing (370) (e.g., the second housing (660) of FIG. 6). In this case, at least a portion of a portion of the bendable member (e.g., the bendable member (620) of FIGS. 6 and 7) may be in contact with an actuator (e.g., the joining link (645) of FIG. 6) (e.g., the actuator).

[0092] In one embodiment, although not shown, the bendable member (e.g., the bendable member (620) of FIGS. 6 and 7) may be formed as a plate (e.g., a support plate) in an area substantially corresponding to the fixed area (314). At least a portion (e.g., a bendable section) (e.g., an extended area (312)) of the display (310) may be accommodated in an internal space of the second housing (370) (e.g., the second housing (660) of FIG. 6) while being supported by the bendable member (e.g., the bendable member (620) of FIGS. 6 and 7) in a closed state (e.g., a first state), thereby being arranged so as not to be visible from the outside.

[0093] According to one embodiment, at least a portion (e.g., a bendable section) (e.g., an extended area (312)) of the display (310) may be arranged to be visible from the outside while supported by the bendable member (620) in an open state (e.g., a second state).

[0094] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may include a front side (301) on which a screen of a display (310) is displayed, a back side (302) facing in an opposite direction to the front side (301), and a side side (303) surrounding a space between the front side (301) and the back side (302).

[0095] According to one embodiment, the front (301) and the back (302) of the electronic device (300) may have variable areas depending on the state of the electronic device (300) (e.g., an open state or a closed state). For example, when the electronic device (300) is in an open state (e.g., an open state in FIG. 4), the area (e.g., a screen area) of the front (301) of the electronic device (300) may increase as the bendable section (e.g., an extended area (312)) of the display (310) is extended. For example, when the electronic device (300) is in a closed state (e.g., a closed state in FIG. 3), the area of ​​the back (302) of the electronic device (300) may include the area of ​​a back cover (e.g., a back cover) (e.g., a back cover) (e.g., a back cover). Additionally, when the electronic device (300) is in an open state, the area of ​​the back (302) of the electronic device (300) may include an area substantially corresponding to the bendable area of ​​the back cover (e.g., the back cover (330) of FIG. 2, the back cover (690) of FIG. 6)) (e.g., the back cover) and the back of the second housing (370) (e.g., the second housing (660) of FIG. 6).

[0096] According to one embodiment, the display (310) may include a fixed region (314) that is always visually visible to the outside and an extended region (312) that is visually visible to the outside when in an open state (e.g., a second state). The extended region (312) may be visually visible to the outside only when the electronic device (300) is in an open state (e.g., a second state), and the fixed region (314) may be visually visible to the outside when in a closed state (e.g., a first state) and an open state (e.g., a second state). For example, the extended region (312) may extend from the fixed region (314) and may be retracted inward or retracted outward depending on the movement of the second housing (370) (e.g., the second housing (660) of FIG. 6 ).

[0097] According to one embodiment, the display (310) may extend an extension region (312) while being supported by a bendable member (620) of FIGS. 6 and 7) in an open state along a first direction (e.g., the -x-axis direction). In this case, at least a portion of the fixed region (314) and the extension region (312) may form substantially the same plane.

[0098] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may have a second housing (370) (e.g., the second housing (660) of FIG. 6) and a support plate (e.g., the support plate (641) of FIG. 6) slide in a first direction (e.g., the -x-axis direction) or in a second direction (e.g., the x-axis direction) opposite to the first direction (e.g., the -x-axis direction) so that the size (or area) of the display area of ​​the display (310) can be varied.

[0099] According to one embodiment, the operation of the electronic device (300) in a closed state (e.g., first state) (e.g., screen expansion, slide out) and / or an open state (e.g., second state) (e.g., screen reduction, slide in) can be performed manually through a user's operation.

[0100] According to one embodiment, the operation of the electronic device (300) in a closed state (e.g., first state) (e.g., screen expansion, slide out) and / or an open state (e.g., second state) (e.g., screen reduction, slide in) can be performed automatically or semi-automatically using a driving device (e.g., motor, ball screw, cam, slider crank, or hinge).

[0101] FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of an electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0102] Referring to FIG. 6, an electronic device (600) according to various embodiments of the present disclosure (e.g., the electronic device (300) of FIGS. 3 and 4) may include a display (610) (e.g., the display (310) of FIG. 2, the display (310) of FIGS. 3 and 4), a bendable member (620), a first housing (630), a support assembly (640), a guide rail (650), a second housing (660) (e.g., the second housing (370) of FIGS. 3 and 4), a printed circuit board (670), a battery (680), and a back cover (690) (e.g., a back glass) (e.g., a rear cover).

[0105] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (600) may have a first space (661) formed by a first housing (630) and a second space (662) formed by a second housing (660). The second housing (660) may be slidably coupled to the first housing (630). The bendable member (620) may be at least partially rotatably arranged in the second space (662). The display (610) may be arranged to be supported by at least a portion of the bendable member (620) and the first housing (630).

[0106] According to one embodiment, the first space (661) of the first housing (630) can be provided through the combination of the first bracket housing (630a) and the second bracket housing (630b).

[0107] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (600) may include a printed circuit board (670) and a battery (680) disposed in a first space (661). The printed circuit board (670) and the battery (680) may be disposed in close proximity.

[0108] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (600) may include a camera module (e.g., camera module (305) of FIG. 3) and a sensor module (e.g., sensor module (307) of FIG. 3) disposed in a first space (661).

[0109] According to one embodiment, the bendable member (620) may be arranged such that one end is fixed to the first housing (630) and the other end is at least partially movably received in the second space (662) of the second housing (660). For example, the bendable member (620) may be at least partially received in the second space (662) in the retracted state. The bendable member (620) may be at least partially withdrawn from the second space (662) so as to form substantially the same plane as the first housing (630) (e.g., the second bracket housing (630b)) in the retracted state. Accordingly, the display (610) supported by at least a portion of the first housing (630) and the bendable member (620) may have a display area visible from the outside that varies depending on the sliding motion.

[0110] According to one embodiment, the electronic device (600) may be disposed between a first housing (630) and a second housing (660) and may include at least one guide rail (650) for inducing a sliding motion of the second housing (660). In some embodiments, the electronic device (600) may further include a cover member (not shown) disposed to cover both sides of the first housing (630) (e.g., the third side (303c) and the fourth side (303d) of FIGS. 2 and 3).

[0111] According to various embodiments, the electronic device (600) may include a support assembly (640). The support assembly (640) is arranged to be at least partially movable in a first direction (e.g., the x-axis direction of FIGS. 2 and 3) from the first housing (630) and may press the second housing (660) in the direction in which it is pulled out.

[0112] In one embodiment, the support assembly (640) may include a support plate (641) and at least one pressurizing link (645). In one embodiment, the support plate (641) may be slidably coupled to the first housing (630) (e.g., the second bracket housing (630b)). In one embodiment, the at least one pressurizing link (645) may be arranged to support the first housing (630) (e.g., the second bracket housing (630b)) and pressurize the support plate (641) in an extracting direction (e.g., the x-axis direction of FIGS. 2 and 3).

[0113] In one embodiment, at least one pressurizing link (645) comprises at least two unit links that are connected to be spread apart by an elastic member (e.g., a torsion spring), and through the force of the unit links to spread apart, a pressurizing force can be provided to pressurize the support plate in the direction of extraction (e.g., in the -x-axis direction).

[0114] According to one embodiment, the support plate (641) may include a plate portion (642) and a pressure portion (643) (e.g., a sliding bar). In one embodiment, the plate portion (642) may be slidably coupled to the first housing (630) and may include a first surface (6421) facing a designated direction (e.g., a z-axis direction) and a second surface (6422) facing in a direction opposite to the first surface (6421) (e.g., a - z-axis direction). In one embodiment, the pressure portion (643) (e.g., a sliding bar) may extend from an end of the plate portion (642) to have a length substantially equal to the longitudinal direction of the support plate (641) (e.g., a y-axis direction in FIGS. 2 and 3 ).

[0115] According to one embodiment, the pressing portion (643) may be formed in a shape that minimizes frictional force in order to pressurize the back surface of the bendable member (620). For example, the outer surface of the pressing portion (643) may be formed to have a curved surface. In some embodiments, the pressing portion (643) may be a separate component and structurally connected to the plate portion (642). According to one embodiment, the plate portion (642) may include a link guide (6423) formed to guide at least one pressing link (645). According to one embodiment, at least one pressing link (645) may provide a pressing force that always presses the second housing (660) in the pulling-out direction (direction ①). During operation, the at least one pressing link (645) may help reduce sagging of the display (610). In one embodiment, the support plate (641) may be coupled with the second housing (660) to help form the second space (662). In some embodiments, the support plate (641) may be replaced with a part of the second housing (660).

[0116] According to various embodiments, the electronic device (600) may have an anti-lifting structure for inducing the bendable member (620) to move in a manner that it comes into close contact with the first surface (6421) of the plate portion (642) of the support plate (641).

[0118] According to one embodiment, the bendable member (620) may include a plurality of multi-bars (e.g., a plurality of multi-bars (622) of FIG. 7) that are rotatably coupled to one another.

[0119] According to various embodiments, at least a portion of the display (610) may be secured to the bendable member (620) by taping, welding, or bonding. In one embodiment, the bendable member (620) to which at least a portion of the display (610) is attached may be arranged in a manner that is substantially in close contact with at least a portion of the first surface (6421) of the plate portion (642) of the support plate (641) and the outer surface of the pressing portion (643). In the retracted state, the bendable member (620) may be accommodated into the second space (662) of the second housing (660) together with the display (610) according to the sliding motion of the support plate (641).

[0120] FIG. 7 is a drawing illustrating a bendable member according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 8 is a drawing illustrating a display supported by a bendable member according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0121] Referring to FIGS. 6 to 8, according to one embodiment, the bendable member (620) may include a plurality of multi-bars (622) to enable the display (610) to perform a rolling motion. The front side (620a) of the bendable member (620) may be adjacent to the display (610), and the rear side (620b) may be adjacent to the first housing (630).

[0122] According to one embodiment, the front side (615) of the display (610) may face the y-axis (e.g., the y-axis of FIGS. 2 and 3) direction, and the back side (616) of the display (610) may face the -y-axis (e.g., the -y-axis of FIGS. 2 and 3) direction. According to one embodiment, the bendable member (620) may be attached to the back side (616) of the display (610) with an adhesive (e.g., a heat-responsive adhesive member, a photo-responsive adhesive member, a general adhesive, and / or a double-sided tape). The plurality of multi-bars (622) of the bendable member (620) may be arranged with a predetermined gap. The bendable member (620) can support the bendable section (610b) of the display (610) so that the bendable section (e.g., the bendable section (610b) of FIG. 10) is maintained in a form smoothly connected to the fixed section (①) of the display (610).

[0123] According to one embodiment, the plurality of multi-bars (622) may be formed of a metal material and / or a polymer. Each of the plurality of multi-bars (622) may include guide protrusions (624) protruding at both ends to be guided along a guide rail (650) in the internal space of the electronic device (600).

[0124] In one embodiment, some or all of the plurality of multi-bars (622) may include at least one friction-reducing region (e.g., a POM layer, an acetal layer, or a Teflon layer) to reduce friction. For example, the friction-reducing region may be included in an area where contact (or friction) occurs between at least one of the multi-bars (622).

[0125] According to one embodiment, although not shown, a bending plate (e.g., the bending plate (1320) of FIG. 13) may be placed on the bendable member (620). For example, the bending plate (e.g., the bending plate (1320) of FIG. 13) may connect a plurality of bars to support a fixed section (e.g., the fixed section (610a) of FIG. 10).

[0126] According to one embodiment, the support assembly (640) can slide in the -x-axis direction and the x-axis direction according to the movement of the second housing (660) to expand or contract the screen of the display (610). For example, the support assembly (640) can expand the screen of the display (610) by pushing the bendable member (620) in the x-axis direction. Alternatively, when the second housing (660) moves in the -x-axis direction by an external force, the support assembly (640) can push the bendable member (620) in the -x-axis direction to contract the screen of the display (610). The support assembly (640) can support at least a part of the bendable member (620) at the bending portion (e.g., the bending portion (601) of FIG. 10) at which the display (610) is bent. Additionally, the support assembly (640) can support the bendable member (620) in a flat area (e.g., a flat area (602) of FIG. 10) other than a curved area (e.g., a curved area (601) of FIG. 10) when the screen of the display (610) is expanded.

[0127] FIG. 9 is a drawing showing a guide rail according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0128] Referring to FIGS. 6, 8, and 9, the guide rail (650) may include a side body (652) forming at least one side of the electronic device (600), and a guide groove (654) into which at least a portion (e.g., a guide protrusion (624)) of the display (610) and / or the bendable member (620) is inserted to guide movement of the bendable member (620). The guide rail (650) may provide a path along which the display (610) and / or the bendable member (620) moves through the guide groove (654). For example, the guide rail (650) may be arranged in the y-axis direction and the -y-axis direction, respectively, inside the second housing (660). The guide rail (650) can be introduced or withdrawn in a shape in which the bendable section of the display (610) (e.g., the bendable section (610b) of FIG. 10) is introduced or withdrawn into the second housing (660) along the guide rail (650), so that the display (610) is smoothly connected to the side of the second housing (660).

[0129] As an example, the first housing (630) accommodates at least a portion of the second housing (660) and is coupled with the second housing (660) to protect electronic components disposed inside the electronic device (600) and form an exterior appearance of the electronic device (600).

[0130] According to one embodiment, the second housing (660) can be slid in a first direction (e.g., the x-axis direction of FIGS. 2 and 3) when moving to expand the screen of the display (610). According to one embodiment, the second housing (660) can be slid in a second direction (e.g., the -x-axis direction of FIGS. 2 and 3) when moving to reduce the screen of the display (610).

[0131] According to one embodiment, a back cover (690) (e.g., back glass) is positioned at the bottom of the first housing (630) and may be an outer case of the electronic device (600). The back cover (690) may be formed of a polymer, a coated or colored glass, a ceramic, a metal (e.g., aluminum, stainless steel (STS), or magnesium), or a combination of at least two of the above materials.

[0132] FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a fixed section and a bendable section of a display according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 are diagrams illustrating a display supported by a bendable member according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0133] Referring to FIGS. 10 to 12, the movement of the bendable member (620) is guided by the guide rail (650), so that the bendable member (620) can move in the x-axis direction and the -x-axis direction. The display (610) attached to the bendable member (620) can be expanded or contracted by the movement of the bendable member (620).

[0134] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, in a first state (e.g., a closed state), only a fixed section (610a) of a display (610) may be visually exposed to the outside. In a second state (e.g., an open state) of the electronic device (600), a bendable section (610b) of the display (610) may move in the x-axis direction via a bending portion (601), so that the fixed section (610a) and the bendable section (610b) may be visually exposed to the outside. A plurality of multi-bars (e.g., multi-bars (622) of FIG. 8) of a bendable member (620) may support the display (610) in at least a portion of the bendable section (610b) and the fixed section (610a), thereby reducing the display (610) from being lifted in the z-axis direction or sagged in the -z-axis direction.

[0135] FIG. 13 is a drawing showing a bending plate (1320) being placed between a display (610) and multi-bars (1310) of a bendable member according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 14 is a drawing showing a bending plate according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0136] Referring to FIGS. 13 and 14, a bending plate (1320) may be placed between the display (610) and the multi-bars (1310) of the bendable member.

[0137] According to one embodiment, the bending plate (1320) may be placed in a bendable section (e.g., bendable section (610b) of FIG. 10) that is positioned to be visible from the outside in a slide-out state at the bottom of the display (610).

[0138] According to one embodiment, the upper surface of the bending plate (1320) may be attached to the lower surface of the display (610) via a first adhesive member (1330) (e.g., a first adhesive tape). For example, the first adhesive member (1330) may be attached to the entire upper surface of the bending plate (1320). The lower surface of the bending plate (1320) may be attached to the upper surface of the multi-bars (1310) (e.g., the upper surface (1311) of FIG. 15A) via a separate second adhesive member (e.g., a second adhesive tape). For example, the second adhesive member (1340) may be attached to the entire lower surface of the bending plate (1320).

[0139] According to one embodiment, the lower surface of the bending plate (1320) may be attached to the upper surface of the multi-bars (1310) (e.g., the upper surface (1311) of FIG. 15a) by welding. According to one embodiment, the lower surface of the bending plate (1320) may be attached to the upper surface of the multi-bars (1310) (e.g., the upper surface (1311) of FIG. 15a) by bonding.

[0140] According to one embodiment, the bending plate (1320) may be formed of a metal material or a rubber material (e.g., urethane, LSR (liquid silicone rubber)). However, the bending plate (1320) may be formed of a material that flexibly changes in response to compressive and tensile stress and has little change in thickness when subjected to compressive and tensile stress.

[0141] According to one embodiment, the bending plate (1320) may include a support plate (1322) positioned to correspond to the upper surface of the multi-bar (1310) and a tensile section (1324) (e.g., a link section) positioned to correspond to the gap (d) formed between the multi-bars (1310). At least a portion of the support plate (1322) may be uniformly cut to form the tensile section (1324). When the bendable section (e.g., the bendable section (610b) of FIG. 10) of the display (610) moves in the x-axis direction via the bending portion (601), a compressive force is applied, and the gap (d) between the multi-bars (1310) narrows. When the gap (d) between the multi-bars (1310) is narrowed, interference between the multi-bars (1310) may occur, and local tensile stress may be generated in the section between the multi-bars (1310). By flexibly bending the bendable member by the elastic section (1324), interference between the multi-bars (1310) due to the compressive force and tensile stress applied to the multi-bars (1310) may be reduced, and lifting of the bending plate (1320) may be reduced. For example, when the bending plate (1320) is not arranged between the display (610) and the plurality of multi-bars (1310), the gap between the multi-bars (1310) at the bending portion may be narrowed, and thus, a compressive force may be applied to the display (610), and lifting may occur in at least a portion of the display (610). By placing a bending plate (1320) including a support plate (1322) and a flexible section (1324) (e.g., a linkage section) between the display (610) and a plurality of multi-bars (1310), even if the gap between the multi-bars (1310) at the bending portion becomes narrow, a compressive force that may be applied to the display (610) can be reduced, thereby preventing defects such as lifting or deformation of the display (610) from occurring.

[0142] FIG. 15a is a drawing illustrating a multi-bar of a bendable member according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 15b is a drawing illustrating avoidance of interference between multi-bars when the bendable member moves along a curved surface. FIG. 15c is a drawing illustrating the shape of a multi-bar for avoiding interference between multi-bars when the bendable member moves along a curved surface.

[0143] Referring to FIGS. 15A to 15C, in order to prevent interference between the multi-bars (1310) in the bendable section of the display (610) (e.g., the bendable section (610b) of FIG. 10), the multi-bars (1310) may be arranged at a predetermined interval (e.g., the interval (d) of FIG. 14). The predetermined interval (d) is formed between the multi-bars (1310), so that the display (610) may implement a curved shape in the bendable section (e.g., the bendable section (610b) of FIG. 10).

[0144] According to one embodiment, a portion having a predetermined gap (d) between the multi-bars (1310) may be subjected to compressive and tensile stresses, and thus, an elastic section (e.g., an elastic section (1324) of FIGS. 13 and 14) of a bending plate (e.g., a bending plate (1320) of FIG. 14) may be arranged to correspond to the gap (d). In the bendable section (e.g., a bendable section (610b) of FIG. 10), the gap between the multi-bars (1310) becomes narrower, and the compressive force that may be applied to the display (610) may be reduced by the elastic section (e.g., a linkage section) (e.g., an elastic section (1324) of FIGS. 13 and 14).

[0145] According to one embodiment, in order to implement a curved shape of the display (610) in a bendable section (e.g., bendable section (610b) of FIG. 10), the multi-bar (1310) may be formed so that the first width (w1) of the upper surface (1311) and the second width (w2) of the lower surface (1312) are different. The first width (w1) of the upper surface of the multi-bar (1310) may be formed wider than the second width (w2) of the lower surface. A side surface (1313) may be arranged between the upper surface (1311) and the lower surface (1312) of the multi-bar (1310), and the side surface (1313) may be formed to be inclined at a certain angle (A). As an example, the side surface (1313) may be formed to form an angle of 100 to 110° so that the upper surface (1311) is wider than the lower surface (1312).

[0146] According to one embodiment, when the multi-bars (1310) are in curved motion, in order to avoid or reduce interference between the multi-bars (1310), the corner (1311a) of the upper surface (1311) of the multi-bar (1310) may be formed to have a certain curvature (e.g., 0.2R) (e.g., a rounded shape). In addition, the corner (1312a) of the lower surface (1312) of the multi-bar (1310) may also be formed to have a certain curvature (e.g., 0.2R) (e.g., a rounded shape).

[0147] FIG. 16 is a drawing showing a bending plate according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, arranged between a display and a bendable member. FIG. 17a is a drawing showing the shape of a bending plate according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 17b is a drawing showing multi-bars (622) bonded to the lower portion of the bending plate. FIG. 17c is a drawing showing a support plate and an elastic section of the bending plate.

[0148] Referring to FIGS. 16 to 17c, a bending plate (1620) may be disposed between the multi-bars (1610) of the bendable member (e.g., the bendable member (620) of FIG. 8) and the display (610). A support plate (1622) of the bending plate (1620) may be disposed between the upper surface of the multi-bar (1610) and the display (610). An elastic section (1624) (e.g., an interlocking section) of the bending plate (1620) may be disposed to correspond to the gap (d) between the multi-bars (1610). For example, the multi-bars (1610) may be disposed to overlap at least the support plate (1622) of the bending plate (1620) (e.g., to overlap by being disposed vertically based on the z-axis direction of FIGS. 2, 3, and 6). At least a portion of the multi-bars (1610) may be arranged to overlap at least a portion of the elastic section (1624) of the bending plate (1620). For example, in a bending section (e.g., a bending section (601) of FIG. 10), the gap between the multi-bars (1310) becomes narrower and a bend is formed, and the bendable member (e.g., the bendable member (620) of FIG. 8) and the display (610) may be flexibly bent by the elastic section (1624) of the bending plate (1620) in a bendable section (e.g., the bendable section (610b) of FIG. 10) to form a curved section.

[0149] According to one embodiment, a first adhesive member (1630) (e.g., adhesive tape) may be disposed on the upper surface of the bending plate (1620). The first adhesive member (1630) may be disposed over the entire upper surface area of ​​the bending plate (1620). The bending plate (1620) may be attached to the lower surface of the display (610) by the first adhesive member (1630). For example, the first adhesive member (1630) may be attached to the entire upper surface of the bending plate (1620).

[0150] According to one embodiment, a plurality of second adhesive members (1640) (e.g., adhesive tapes) may be disposed on the lower surface of the bending plate (1620). The plurality of second adhesive members (1640) may be disposed on a portion of the lower surface of the bending plate (1620) corresponding to the support plate (1622) (e.g., a portion corresponding to the upper surface of the multi-bars (1610)). The bending plate (1620) may be attached to the upper surface of the multi-bars (1610) by the second adhesive members (1640).

[0152] Referring to FIG. 18A, the bending plate (1810) may include a support plate (1812) and a stretchable section (1814). The bending plate (1810) may be attached to the upper surface of the bendable member (620). In one embodiment, the bending plate (1810) may be attached to the upper surface of the multi-bars of the bendable member (620) by a taping method using an adhesive tape (1820) (e.g., a double-sided adhesive tape) (e.g., the second adhesive member (1340) of FIG. 13, the plurality of second adhesive members (1640) of FIG. 16). An adhesive tape (1820) (e.g., a double-sided adhesive tape) (e.g., the second adhesive member (1340) of FIG. 13, a plurality of second adhesive members (1640) of FIG. 16) may be placed in a portion that overlaps the multi-bars of the bendable member (620) (e.g., is placed vertically and overlaps based on the z-axis direction of FIGS. 2, 3, and 6) to attach the bendable member (620) and the bending plate (1810).

[0153] Referring to FIG. 18B, the bending plate (1810) may include a support plate (1812) and a stretchable section (1814). The bending plate (1810) may be attached to the upper surface of the bendable member (620). In one embodiment, the bending plate (1810) may be attached to the upper surface of the multi-bars of the bendable member (620) by welding. A plurality of welding points (1830) may be formed between the multi-bars and the support plate (1812) to attach the bendable member (620) and the bending plate (1810).

[0154] Referring to FIG. 18c, the bending plate (1810) may include a support plate (1812) and a stretchable section (1814). The bending plate (1810) may be attached to the upper surface of the bendable member (620).

The multi-bars (1910) and the bending plate (1920) may be attached to the lower surface of the display (610) by the adhesive member (1930).

[0157] FIG. 20 is a drawing showing the shape of a bending plate according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0158] Referring to FIG. 20, multi-bars (2010) of a bendable member (e.g., the bendable member (620) of FIG. 8) may be arranged at a predetermined interval (d). A bending plate (2020) may be arranged at the interval (d) between the multi-bars (2010) of the bendable member (e.g., the bendable member (620) of FIG. 8). The bending plate (2020) may include a support plate having a flat upper surface and a flat lower surface (e.g., the support plate (1622) of FIG. 17A). The bending plate (2020) may be formed of a metal material or a rubber material (e.g., urethane, LSR (liquid silicone rubber)). The bending plate (2020) may be formed of a material that flexibly changes in response to compressive force and tensile stress and has a small change in thickness when subjected to compressive force and tensile stress.

[0159] In one embodiment, an adhesive member (2030) (e.g., an adhesive tape) may be placed on the upper portion of the multi-bar (2010) and the bending plate (2020). The adhesive member (2030) may be placed between the display (610) and the multi-bars (2010) and between the display (610) and the bending plate (2020). The multi-bars (2010) may be connected by the bending plate (2020) and the adhesive member (2030). The multi-bars (2010) and the bending plate (2020) may be attached to the lower surface of the display (610) by the adhesive member (2030).

[0160] FIG. 21 is a drawing illustrating a bendable member according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 22 is a drawing illustrating a method for forming a bendable member according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0161] Referring to FIGS. 21 and 22, a bendable member (2100) can be formed by integrating a multi-bar (e.g., multi-bar (1610) of FIG. 16) and a bending plate (e.g., bending plate (1620) of FIG. 16).

[0162] According to one embodiment, the bendable member (2100) may include a plurality of multi-bars (2110) and a plurality of bending portions (2120). A bending portion (2120) may be arranged between each of the plurality of multi-bars (2110). The plurality of multi-bars (2110) may be formed to have a first thickness (h1), and the plurality of bending portions (2120) may have a second thickness (h2) thinner than the first thickness (h1). The upper surfaces of the plurality of multi-bars (2110) and the upper surfaces of the plurality of bending portions (2120) may be positioned on substantially the same plane. The bending portions (2120) may be formed thinly with the second thickness (h2), so that the bendable member (2100) may be flexibly bent in a bendable section (e.g., the bendable section (610b) of FIG. 10) to implement a curved shape of the display (610).

[0163] As an example, when forming a bendable member (2100), a plurality of multi-bars (2110) may be formed by cutting a metal material, and a portion between the plurality of multi-bars (2110) may be selectively etched to reduce the thickness, thereby forming a plurality of bending portions (2120).

[0164] As an example, when forming a bendable member (2100), a metal material or a rubber (e.g., urethane, LSR (liquid silicone rubber)) material may be insert-molded to form multi-bars (2110), and bending portions (2120) may be formed between the multi-bars (2110).

[0165] As an example, when forming a bendable member (2100), multi-bars (2110) and bending parts (2120) can be formed by double-injecting a metal material or a rubber (e.g., urethane, LSR (liquid silicone rubbers)) material.
