DISPLAY DEVICE

Smart overview of the Invention

Overview: The display device features a unique folding mechanism allowing it to transition between in-folded and out-folded states. It consists of a display module supported by first and second bodies, which are connected through a hinge system. This hinge system incorporates parallel rotary axes that facilitate the folding process, enabling the device to present either its front or rear surfaces depending on the configuration.

Technical Details: The hinge is designed with first and second rotary axes, along with a hinge bar extending in a direction perpendicular to these axes. This arrangement allows the first and second bodies to rotate around their respective axes. A key aspect of this design is the variable distance between the rotary axes and the hinge bar, which changes depending on whether the device is in an unfolded or in-folded state. This feature enhances the flexibility and functionality of the device.

Additional Features: The device includes third and fourth rotary axes spaced apart from the primary axes, further contributing to its folding capabilities. The distances between these additional axes also vary between folded states, ensuring a compact form when folded and robust support when unfolded. This design allows for a smoother transition between different configurations.

Structural Components: The hinge comprises gears and links that facilitate rotation and movement. These components are strategically positioned to ensure efficient operation. The link guide, coupled with protruding links, allows for precise movement along curved trajectories, enhancing stability during folding. The gears are interconnected, providing synchronized motion around their respective axes.

Enhanced Design: Additional elements such as body covers and wing plates provide structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. These components are designed to slide and rotate, maintaining alignment during transitions between states. This comprehensive design not only supports functionality but also ensures durability and user convenience by allowing seamless operation in various configurations.
