ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING DISPLAY PANEL
An electronic device may include a plurality of housings including a first housing and a second housing, wherein the first housing movably connects to the second housing in a moving direction, a display panel in which a screen display area visually exposed to an outside changes depending on a movement of the second housing relative to the first housing, and a lattice plate disposed on a rear surface of the display panel to support the display panel. The display panel may include a flat portion forming the screen display area and comprising a surface substantially forming a flat surface, an edge portion connected to one end portion of the flat portion and comprising at least a partial region which is curved, and a bending portion connected to the other end portion of the flat portion opposite to the edge portion and comprising at least a partial region which bends according to a movement of the first housing relative to the second housing. The lattice plate may include a first lattice portion disposed on a rear surface of the edge portion and including a first lattice pattern, and a second lattice portion disposed on a rear surface of the bending portion and including a second lattice pattern that is different from the first lattice pattern so as to have a relatively higher modulus than the first lattice portion.

Provided is a display device including a display module, an anti-reflection layer, and a bending protection layer. The display module includes a first area, a second area, and a bending area disposed between the first area and the second area and having a predetermined curvature radius. The bending protection layer includes a first portion overlapping at least the first area and a second portion overlapping at least the bending area. The first portion has a maximum thickness in a range from about 40 μm to about 85 μm, a maximum inclined angle in a range from about 10° to 30°, and an elastic modulus in a range from about 50 MPa to about 300 MPa.
Camera and flashlight operation in hinged device
One example provides a computing device including a first portion including a first display, a second portion including a second display and a camera, the second portion connected to the first portion via a hinge, a hinge angle sensing mechanism including one or more sensors, a logic device, and a storage device holding instructions executable by the logic device to execute a camera application and to receive sensor data from the one or more sensors, based at least in part on the sensor data received from the one or more sensors, determine a device pose, output the camera application to the first display when the device pose is indicative of the camera being world-facing, and output the camera application to the second display when the device pose is indicative of the camera being user-facing.
FOLDABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING HINGE ASSEMBLY
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.
Hinge mechanism and foldable electronic device
A hinge mechanism includes a first lap joint structure disposed on one end of each linkage component rotatably connected to a base, and extends in a direction from one end of the base to a mounting bracket located on a same side as the first lap joint structure, and a second lap joint structure disposed on one side of each support plate and that faces the base and extends in a direction from the side of the support plate to the base, wherein a second surface of the second lap joint structure slides along a surface of the first lap joint structure when two mounting brackets are relatively folded or unfolded.
ELECTRONIC APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING EXECUTION SCREEN OF APPLICATION, AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF
An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes at least one housing which may have a plurality of states, at least one display, and at least one processor. The at least one processor is set to display a first execution screen of at least one application on a first display area of the at least one display when the at least one housing is in a first state, wherein the first display area corresponds to the first state, identify the transition of the at least one housing from the first state to a second state, display a first screen, which includes at least one graphic object, on the second display area when a first condition is satisfied, wherein the first screen is displayed on the basis of the transition of the at least one housing from the first state to the second state, and display a second execution screen of a first application on at least a portion of the second display region in response to a first input to a first graphic object, corresponding to the first application, among the one or more graphic objects.
FOLDABLE DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
A foldable display device includes a display panel which includes a folding area, a first non-folding area disposed adjacent to a first side of the folding area, and a second non-folding area disposed adjacent to a second side of the folding area opposite to the first side of the folding area, and a panel support member which is disposed on a surface of the display panel and in which a plurality of slits extending in a first direction is defined. The panel support member includes a first layer which has a first fiber yarn extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction, a second layer which has a second fiber yarn extending in the first direction, and a third layer which has a third fiber yarn extending in the second direction.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF TOUCH SCREEN DISPLAYS AND SCREEN DIVISION METHOD
An electronic device includes first and second touch screen displays and a processor configured to: based on receiving a first touch input on the first touch screen display and a second touch input on the second touch screen display at substantially a same time while displaying a first execution screen in a single window on the first and second touch screen displays, determine whether the first and second touch inputs are a screen split gesture when the first and second touch inputs start within a first boundary area of the first touch screen display and a second boundary area of the second touch screen display, respectively, and are released after moving a distance at substantially the same time; and display the first execution screen in a first split window on the first touch screen display and display a second execution screen in a second split window on the second touch screen display based on the screen split gesture.
