Flexible Display Screen Segmentation and Housing Axis Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing flexible display devices have a shorter service lifetime due to frequent folding and spreading, which can cause damage, and they lack effective protection for the display screen.
Innovation Solution
A flexible display device design featuring a fixed section and a bent section that can be folded to the backside of the body, with a housing that opens in a second axis direction to expose the screen entirely, providing protection and reducing the need for frequent folding and spreading.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the display screen is wound or folded into the interior to protect it and make it portable, then the device becomes more portable and protected, but the screen must be frequently folded and spread which causes damage and reduces service lifetime
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into a fixed section and a flexible section. The fixed section remains stationary and connected to the body, while the flexible section can be folded. This segmentation allows the screen to be protected without requiring the entire screen to be frequently folded and spread, thereby extending service lifetime while maintaining portability.
2Volume of moving object
If the housing is opened in the second axis direction to expose the folded screen entirely, then the device occupies less space and is more convenient to carry, but the housing structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The housing opening direction is changed from the traditional direction to a second axis direction that is perpendicular to the folding direction (first axis). This dimensional change allows the folded screen to be fully exposed when the housing is opened, optimizing space occupation and portability while the fixed section simplifies the overall structural complexity.

AI summary
A flexible display device is disclosed which includes a body having a body bearing face; a flexible display screen having a fixed section and at least one bent section, where the fixed section overlies the body bearing face, and is connected with the body, and the bent section can be bent in a first axis direction, and folded to the backside of the body bearing face; and a housing enclosing the body and the flexible display screen, which can be opened in a second axis direction relative to the body to expose the flexible display screen entirely, where the first axis and the second axis are two intersecting axes parallel to the body bearing face.
