Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices face a challenge in balancing the enlargement of display regions for improved browsability with maintaining portability, particularly in portable electronic devices, and require efficient light sources for photography and video shooting with low power consumption.
Innovation Solution
A flexible display device with a first region for emitting light and a second region for displaying images, both integrated into a housing with a concave portion, allowing the display to be bent and folded, and utilizing passive and active matrix driving for power efficiency and high luminance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the display region is enlarged to improve browsability, then the display area increases, but the portability of the device is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The display device employs a flexible display panel that can dynamically change its configuration between flat and folded states. This dynamic adaptability allows the display to provide a large viewing area when needed while maintaining compact portability when stored or carried, effectively resolving the contradiction between display size and portability.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention utilizes a flexible display panel with a flexible substrate that enables the display to be bent or folded without damage. This flexible film technology allows the display to achieve both large display area and compact form factor, simultaneously improving browsability and portability.
2Illumination intensity
If a flexible display with light-emitting region is used for photography, then the light source provides high luminance, but the power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The light-emitting display panel operates in periodic cycles, activating the light-emitting region only when photography or video recording is required. During normal display operation, the light-emitting function remains inactive. This periodic activation significantly reduces overall power consumption while maintaining high luminance when the light source is actually needed for capturing photos or videos.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
