A display device includes a display panel including a base layer, a first heat dissipation member disposed on a first surface of the base layer, and a second heat dissipation member disposed on a first surface of the first heat dissipation member. The first heat dissipation member includes a first polymer resin and first metal nano-particles dispersed in the first polymer resin, and the second heat dissipation member includes a second polymer resin and second metal nano-particles dispersed in the second polymer resin. The weight of the first metal nano-particles in the first heat dissipation member may be different from the weight of the second metal nano-particles in the second heat dissipation member.

The present disclosure is directed to devices and methods for performing screen state detection. The screen state detection may be used in conjunction with any device with a bendable display. The device and method utilizes an electrostatic charge variation sensor to detect whether the display is in an open state or a closed state.

An electronic device includes a first body including a first part and a second part hinged to each other, a second body, and a hinge structure hinged between an edge of the second body and the second part. The first part has a recess. When the second body is unfolded relative to the first body from a folded state to a first unfolded state, the hinge structure pushes against the first part to rotate the first part relative to the second part. When the second body is continuously unfolded relative to the first body from the first unfolded state to a second unfolded state, the edge of the second body pushes against the first part, so that the first part continues to rotate relative to the second part. When the second body is in the folded state, the hinge structure is at least partially accommodated in the recess.

An electronic device includes a display including a first area and a second area; a foldable housing including a first housing which supports the first area and a second housing which supports the second area; a hinge structure which connects the first housing and the second housing to be foldable relative to each other on a folding axis between a first state in which the first area and the second area are substantially coplanar, and a second state in which the first area and the second area face each other; and a protection structure provided on the display. At least a portion of the protection structure is included in the foldable housing, wherein the foldable housing may further include a front surface, a rear surface opposite to the front surface, and a side surface which encloses an inner space between the front surface and the rear surface. The protection structure, from a perspective facing the front surface of the foldable housing in the first state, covers at least some of a space between the display and the side surface of the foldable housing.

An electronic device includes a display panel including a folding area and a non-folding area which is adjacent to the folding area. and a digitizer which faces the display panel, senses a first external input and is foldable together with the display panel. The digitizer includes a substrate including a folding portion corresponding to the folding area of the display panel, the folding portion defining a plurality of openings of the substrate corresponding to the folding area of the display panel, a support portion which corresponds to the non-folding area of the display panel, and a reinforced fiber, and a first conductive pattern layer and a second conductive pattern layer each corresponding to the support portion of the substrate, the first conductive pattern layer and the second conductive pattern layer facing each other with the substrate therebetween.

Embodiments described herein generally take the form of an electronic device including a primary and secondary display; at least the secondary display is force-sensitive and further has its force-sensing circuitry in-plane with the display. The secondary display and force-sensing circuitry may be encapsulated between two glass layers that are bonded to one another by a frit. In some embodiments the force-sensing circuitry is formed from, or constitutes part of, the frit.

An electronic device is provided, which includes a first housing including at least one first electronic component, a second housing including at least one second electronic component, a hinge housing disposed between the first housing and the second housing, a hinge assembly assembled to the hinge housing to rotatably couple the first housing and the second housing, a flexible printed circuit board electrically coupling the first electronic component and the second electronic component via the hinge housing, and a flexible display, wherein the hinge assembly comprises a support portion located between the flexible printed circuit board and the flexible display, wherein, as the electronic device rotates from folded to 180-degree unfolded, the support portion moves into the flexible display, and wherein, as the electronic device rotates from 180-degree unfolded to folded, the support portion moves into the flexible printed circuit board to be spaced apart from the flexible display.
