Flexible Display Device With Sliding Plate And Retractable Panel
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Mobile devices often face reduced screen real estate when multiple interfaces are open, limiting the amount of information presented to the user and hindering usability.
Innovation Solution
A flexible display device with a slidable plate and a flexible display panel featuring a primary and secondary display section, where the secondary section is foldable and retractable, allowing the user to expand or retract the display area as needed by sliding the plate relative to a fixed plate, supported by a grid structure and driven by a motor for easy operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple interfaces are displayed on the screen simultaneously, then more information can be presented to the user, but the available screen area for each interface is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The display device employs a flexible display panel that can dynamically change its physical configuration between folded and expanded states. This dynamic transformation allows the screen to adapt its size and shape based on usage requirements, enabling full-screen display for single interface and expanded configuration for multiple interfaces, thereby resolving the contradiction between information presentation and screen area availability
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible display panel is divided into a primary display section and a secondary display section that can be independently controlled. The secondary section can be folded back or expanded alongside the primary section, allowing the system to present multiple interfaces simultaneously while maintaining adequate display area for each interface through segmented control of display regions
2Area of moving object
If the screen size is increased to provide more display area, then more information can be presented, but the device portability and compactness are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The flexible display panel can transform between folded and expanded configurations, allowing the device to achieve a large display area when needed while maintaining a compact form factor for portability. This dynamic reconfiguration resolves the contradiction between display area and device dimension by providing both states as required
Solution Approach 2:
The secondary display section can be folded back and stored within or alongside the primary display section, creating a nested configuration that reduces the overall device dimension while preserving the capability to expand to a larger display area when required
