Flexible Display Support Plate With Integrated Bar and Curved Guides
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The manufacturing process of slidable electronic devices with flexible displays is complicated by the separate attachment of support bars, which can lead to adhesion issues over time, potentially causing detachment and compromising the structural integrity of the support system.
Innovation Solution
A support plate is integrally formed with the flexible display, featuring an elastic portion and a support portion with through holes and a guide portion, providing a unified structure that enhances durability and prevents separation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If separate support bars are attached to the support plate, then the structural support function is improved, but the device complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The support bar is merged with the support plate to form an integral structure. The support plate includes a body portion and a bar portion that protrudes therefrom, with no separate attachment needed. This integration simplifies the manufacturing process while maintaining the structural support function.
2Strength
If separate support bars are attached to the support plate, then the structural support function is improved, but the reliability decreases due to potential detachment over time
Solution Approach 1:
The support bar is merged with the support plate to form an integral structure. The support plate includes a body portion and a bar portion that protrudes therefrom, with no separate attachment needed. This integration eliminates adhesion issues and ensures long-term reliability.
3Strength
If separate support bars are attached to the support plate, then the structural support function is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The support bar is merged with the support plate to form an integral structure. The support plate includes a body portion and a bar portion that protrudes therefrom, eliminating the need for separate attachment operations and reducing precision requirements.

AI summary
A slidable electronic device, may comprise: a flexible display configured such that at least a portion thereof is deformable; and a support plate disposed on the rear of the flexible display and having elastic parts and support parts alternately positioned, the elastic parts each comprising a plurality of through-holes in at least a portion thereof, and the support parts being formed so as to protrude with respect to the elastic parts. The support plate may comprise guide parts which extend from end portions of the support parts and are each formed to have a curvature.
