Support member and display device including the same
A display device includes first and second support members arranged along a first direction, a joint part therebetween, a hinge member adjacent to facing sides of the first and second support members that extends in a second direction crossing the first direction, and that includes two rotation axes, and a flexible display module on the first and second support members and the joint part. The joint part includes a first joint unit that extends in the second direction and a plurality of second joint units arranged in the first direction, where the first joint unit is interposed between the plurality of second joint units. The second joint units extend in the second direction, and each of the second joint units has recesses between side and top surfaces thereof and that extend in the second direction.
HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE
A portable electronic device may include an enclosure including a housing component and a front cover coupled to the housing component and defining a front exterior surface of the portable electronic device. The portable electronic device may also include a display positioned below the front cover, the display defining an active display region, a first hole surrounded by the active display region, and a second hole surrounded by the active display region. The portable electronic device may also include a first optical sensor positioned below the front cover and below the first hole, a second optical sensor positioned below the front cover and below the second hole, and a touch-sensing component configured to detect a first touch input applied to the front cover in the active display region of the display and a second touch input applied to the front cover over the first hole in the display.
HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE
A mobile phone may include a display, wireless communication circuitry, a battery, and an enclosure enclosing the display, the wireless communication circuitry, and the battery. The enclosure may include a front cover formed from a transparent material and defining a front exterior surface of the mobile phone, a rear cover formed from a glass material and defining a rear exterior surface of the mobile phone, and a first housing component including a first wall section defining a first side exterior surface of the mobile phone, a second wall section defining a second side exterior surface opposite to the first side exterior surface, and a mid-chassis section extending between the first wall section and the second wall section.
FOLDABLE DISPLAY DEVICE
A foldable display device includes a display module including a first non-folding area, a second non-folding area, and a folding area between the first non-folding area and the second non-folding area, a support member disposed below the display module and including a first support layer overlapping the first non-folding area, a second support layer overlapping the second non-folding area, and a pattern layer overlapping the folding area, surrounding the first support layer and the second support layer, and including a conductive metal material, and a digitizer disposed below the support member.
Peripheral housing for a computing device
A computing device can include a housing including a peripheral housing defining an aperture, the peripheral housing having a constant cross-sectional area. The computing device can also include a display having a first major surface and a second major surface opposing the first major surface, the display disposed within the aperture defined by the peripheral housing and attached to the housing at one or more locations such that the first major surface and the second major surface of the display are substantially unobstructed by any other portion of the computing device.
Display device including rods and binders
A display device includes a window, a display panel disposed below the window, and a cushion layer disposed below the display panel. The cushion layer includes a plurality of rod parts extending in a thickness direction of the cushion layer and a binder part coupled to the plurality of rod parts.
Holographic reality system, multiview display, and method
A holographic reality system and multiview display monitor a user position and provide virtual haptic feedback to the user. The holographic reality system includes a multiview display configured to display a multiview image, a position sensor configured to monitor the user position, and a virtual haptic feedback unit configured to provide the virtual haptic feedback. An extent of the virtual haptic feedback corresponds to an extent of a virtual control within the multiview image. The holographic reality multiview display includes an array of multiview pixels configured to provide different views of the multiview image by modulating directional light beams having directions corresponding to the different views and an array of multibeam elements configured to provide the directional light beams to corresponding multiview pixels.
Quick launcher user interface
Methods executed by a processor of computing device for launching a selected application on a computing device are disclosed. Various embodiments may include authorizing a user based on a fingerprint of a finger detected on a fingerprint sensor portion of a touchscreen display matching a fingerprint of an authorized user of the computing device, determining a selected application installed on the computing device from a selective engagement of the finger on the touchscreen display, continuous from the fingerprint sensor portion and unlocking the selected application in response to the selective engagement of the finger on the touchscreen display. In some embodiments, selection of an application may be based a continuous swipe movement by the finger on the touchscreen display from the fingerprint sensor portion toward an icon on the touchscreen display representing the selected application.
Touch display apparatus and sensing method of the same for identifying different touch sources and reducing power consumption
A sensing method includes sensing a first touch source at a first time point; transferring a first sensing signal of the first touch source to a CPU at the first time point; sensing a second touch source at a second time point; transferring a second sensing signal of the second touch source to the CPU at the second time point; stopping transferring the second sensing signal at a third time point, and the second touch source is away from the touch display device at a fourth time point; and the second time point is earlier than the third time point, the third time point is earlier than the fourth time point, and the first touch source is different from the second touch source.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE
An electronic device including a detection sensor is disclosed. The electronic device may include: a housing structure including a first housing and a second housing movably coupled to the first housing in a moving direction, a flexible display supported by the first housing and the second housing, and having a size of a display area visible at a front surface of the housing structure configured to change based on relative movement by the second housing with respect to the first housing, a detection sensor including a first electrode and a second electrode disposed side by side, and a dielectric disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, and configured to detect a change in the size of the display area, and a processor.
