Abstract
A flexible display assembly and an electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes the flexible display assembly. The flexible display assembly includes a display panel layer, an un-even structure layer, at least a part of which includes protrusions and recesses, a buffer layer arranged between the display panel layer and the un-even structure layer and including at least one projection, at least a part of which is inserted into a valley of the protrusions and recesses, and a support layer arranged on one surface of the buffer layer and formed to support at least a part of the buffer layer.
Claims21
A flexible display assembly comprising:
- a display panel layer;
- an un-even structure layer, at least a part of which comprises protrusions and recesses;
- a buffer layer arranged between the display panel layer and the un-even structure layer and comprising at least one projection, at least a part of which is inserted into a valley of the protrusions and recesses;
- and
- a support layer arranged on one surface of the buffer layer and formed to support at least a part of the buffer layer,
- wherein the un-even structure layer comprises a digitizer for detecting an input by a digital pen, and
- wherein the digitizer comprises a dielectric layer and a plurality of electrodes, which are arranged with a specified separation distance therebetween on the dielectric layer to form a height difference with the dielectric layer.
An electronic device comprising:
- at least one hinge structure;
- a first housing structure arranged on one side of the at least one hinge structure and connected to one region of the at least one hinge structure;
- a second housing structure arranged on another side of the at least one hinge structure, connected to another region of the at least one hinge structure, and performing folding and unfolding motions with respect to the first housing structure based on a hinge motion of the at least one hinge structure;
- and
- a flexible display assembly arranged so as to be supported by at least a part of the first housing structure and at least a part of the second housing structure,
- wherein the flexible display assembly comprises:
- a display panel layer;
- an un-even structure layer, at least a part of which includes protrusions and recesses;
- a buffer layer arranged between the display panel layer and the un-even structure layer and comprising at least one projection, at least a part of which is inserted into a valley of the protrusions and recesses;
- and
- a support layer arranged on one surface of the buffer layer and formed to support at least a part of the buffer layer.
An electronic device comprising:
- a support member;
- a side surface member connected to at least a part of an edge of the support member;
- and
- a display assembly arranged in a space formed by connecting the support member and the side surface member,
- wherein the display assembly comprises:
- a window layer having a partial region that is adjacent to the side surface member and is bent in a first manner towards the side surface member with a specified curvature;
- a display panel layer arranged on one surface of the window layer and bent in a second manner with a curvature corresponding to the specified curvature;
- a wiring layer formed in a terminal end of a region, which is bent in the second manner, of the display panel layer and comprising at least one protrusion and recess;
- and
- a buffer layer arranged on one surface of the display panel layer so that at least a part of the buffer layer is adjacent to the wiring layer, wherein the at least a part adjacent to the wiring layer is inserted into a valley of the at least one protrusion and recess.
