Electronic Devices With Rollable Displays
An electronic device may have a rollable display. The display may be moved between an unrolled state in which the display is planar and a rolled state in which a rollable portion of the display is rolled up for storage. The display may have a display panel with a pixel array that produces images and a transparent protective layer that overlaps the pixel array. The transparent protective layer may contain a layer of glass. The glass layer may be locally thinned in the rollable portion to facilitate rolling of the display. The display may be configured to apply compressive stress to the outwardly facing surface of the glass layer when the display is rolled up. Compressive stress in the outwardly facing glass surface may help prevent damage to the display when the display is bent during rolling operations.
Electronic devices having displays with openings
An electronic device may have a display. The display may have an active region in which display pixels are used to display images. The display may have one or more openings and may be mounted in a housing associated with the electronic device. An electronic component may be mounted in alignment with the openings in the display. The electronic component may include a camera, a light sensor, a light-based proximity sensor, status indicator lights, a light-based touch sensor array, a secondary display that has display pixels that may be viewed through the openings, antenna structures, a speaker, a microphone, or other acoustic, electromagnetic, or light-based component. One or more openings in the display may form a window through which a user of the device may view an external object. Display pixels in the window region may be used in forming a heads-up display.
Stretchable display device
In the stretchable display device of the present disclosure, peeling and delamination of connection lines between adjacent circuits mounted on individual fixed substrates that might occur during stretching is reduced. According to one embodiment of the stretchable display device, the steepness of a slope in step in an insulating layer in contact with connection lines is reduced, which prevents delamination. A plurality of individual substrates are disposed on the lower substrate and located in the active area on the lower substrate. The modulus of elasticity of the individual substrates is significantly higher than the modulus of elasticity of the lower substrate. There is a first inorganic layer positioned on each of the plurality of individual substrates, the first inorganic layer having a sidewall surface extending upward from the first substrate. A organic layer is deposited overlying the first inorganic layer, including overlying the sidewall surface of the first inorganic layer. An electrical connection line is on the organic layer and not in contact with any part of the inorganic layer, providing the additional adhesion and thus preventing delamination of the electrical connection lines from the substrate.
Curved display and lighting device based on a Miura-Ori structure
A flexible display device that can conform to complex curved surfaces, and methods for manufacturing said display device, are disclosed herein. The display device utilizes a Miura-ori origami structure that, in a folded or at least partially folded configuration, is able to conform to complex curved surfaces. The Miura-ori structure involves folding a two-dimensional substrate in accordance with crease lines comprising a tessellation of parallelograms. Each cell of the tessellation pattern can include one or more luminous elements (LEDs, OLEDs, etc.) bonded to circuit elements embedded within the flexible substrate (e.g., Parylene-C).
