Description

具改進功能的電子裝置
本發明有關於一種包括可撓式顯示器之電子裝置。本發明尤其是有關於一種電子裝置,其具有觸摸敏感可撓式顯示器及/或設有背光或前光功能之可撓式顯示器。
一種包括可撓式顯示器之裝置之實施例在此技術中為已知。例如,此具有可折疊可撓式顯示器之行動電話或組織器為已知。特別是,WO2004/114259說明一種電子裝置,其包括一可伸展可捲動顯示器,而設有一可伸展側面構件。配置此已知可伸展側面構件,用於對顯示器螢幕提供支持與結構堅固性。亦配置此已知側面構件以提供此已知顯示器裝置之堅固邊緣,尤其用於保護顯示器螢幕材料之可能脆弱邊緣。當儲存時,此已知可撓式顯示器圍繞殼體中適當捲軸周圍,因而此將側面構件推進至設置在殼體內之內部儲存通道中,其在捲軸之旁且實質上與捲軸平行。應瞭解,在此已知顯示器裝置之結構中,當此可撓式顯示器實質上平行於其平面移動時,而當在儲存位置與伸展位置間交替時,此等側面構件作90度彎曲。
提供具有可撓式顯示器之電子裝置是渴求的,此可撓式顯示器具有觸摸螢幕、以及背光/前光功能。應注意,此在傳統玻璃為主顯示器觸摸是藉由在顯示器前設置一觸摸敏感透明螢幕而實現。目前存在數種型式之觸摸螢幕技術。此螢幕可以為電阻式,而在螢幕上之觸摸造成電流之局部改變以判斷位置之用。另一種型式之螢幕使用在觸摸螢幕面板上通過之超音波。還有另一種型式螢幕為電容式觸摸螢幕,經由前方面板施加電場。可以偵測到由於操作者靠近或直接接觸前方面板所造成電場之干擾。
在傳統玻璃為主顯示器中,背光藉由將光源置於顯示器後而實現。此光源可以為:一白熾燈泡、一或多個發光二極體(LED)、一電致發光面板(ELP)、一或多個冷陰極螢光燈管(CCFL)或熱陰極螢光燈管(HCFL)。此等光源之大部份是跟在顯示器與光源之間均勻照明之擴散器一起使用。可以任何光源即能賦予前光且無須擴散器。
已知習知技術狀態之缺點為,由於標準解決方案所造成顯示器可撓性之退化,而無法在可撓式顯示器上容易地配置標準觸摸功能及/或背光照明/前光照明功能。
然而,提供一種具有可撓式顯示器之電子裝置是渴求的,其中使能賦予觸摸功能及/或背光/前光功能。此包括觸摸敏感可撓式顯示器之電子裝置之實施例由KR 20060113595而為可知。此已知之可撓式顯示器配置具有:設置在可撓式顯示器下之複數個壓力敏感元件。為了輸入適當資料,人必須以其手指推動顯示器之觸摸敏感區域。此已知電子裝置之缺點為,一方面由於對於顯示區域所施加之外部壓力,其可撓式顯示器會損壞,以及由於存在體積相當龐大與堅硬的壓力敏感元件,此電子裝置並不適用於可折疊顯示器觀念。
本發明之目的為提供一種電子裝置,其包括一種可撓性可折疊式顯示器,此顯示器具有改善之功能,尤其是具有改善觸摸與顯示照明功能。
為達此目的,此根據本發明之電子裝置包括:一與殼體配合之可撓式顯示器,且設計在至少部份折疊狀態與在至少部份伸展狀態之間交替,該殼體包括一實質上堅硬部份,其設計以至少部份支持此在伸展狀態中可撓式顯示器之表面之外部區域,其中,將該堅硬部份配置用於至少部份地容納此電子裝置之功能模組。
本發明之技術措施是根據此洞察力:提供用於保護可撓式顯示器邊緣之堅硬部份可以用於容納適當裝置、材料或元件,其賦予此裝置渴望之電子功能之所需,像是觸摸與照明功能。以此方式,此功能模組或整個裝置、材料或元件可以設置在可撓式顯示器區域外之區域中,因而不會影響此顯示器之變形性質。因此,此種可撓式顯示器仍然可以在可折疊狀態與可伸展狀態之間有效地交替。額外地或替代地,此種堅硬部份可以提供用於保護此可撓式顯示器之後表面,因而改善其耐用持久性。
應注意,許多複數個顯示器組態為可能。例如,可以將可撓式顯示器配置作為可捲動件,其後端固定於適當捲軸,而此捲軸設置在電子裝置之殼體中。以此方式,此顯示器在當使用時可以捲出,例如響應此顯示器頭端之適當拉引。以替代方式,將後端與頭端固定設置在電子裝置殼體中各捲軸是可能的,此顯示器相對頭端移動時伸展,且與尾端彼此相離。
在另一實施例中,配置此可撓式顯示器以至少部份圍繞此電子裝置之殼體周圍是可能的。較佳地情形中,此顯示器之前側朝內以致於當此顯示器不使用時並不會損壞。可以配置此可撓式顯示器以完全圍繞此殼體,雖然對於延長式顯示器作多個圍繞是可能的。此圍繞觀念之實施例於圖1顯示。
根據本發明電子裝置之實施例中,此殼體包括配置作為U型伸縮部份之複數個堅硬部份。
此特定實施例之優點為此U型伸縮部份提供在U型區段中之區域用於容納合適之功能模組、裝置、材料或元件,其賦予電子裝置所尋求功能之所需,像是觸控或照明功能。
較佳配置此等堅硬部份用於容納此可撓式顯示器之邊緣部份,且一觸摸感測器與此可撓式顯示器之邊緣部份配合。亦可以將此觸控感測器實質上配置在此可撓式顯示器之整個主動區域之上,以及設置在其下。在此情形中,可以將此觸摸感測器配置在區段之中,其尺寸實質上對應於此等伸縮部份之區段之尺寸。較佳地將此等U型區段作為伸縮拉引器形成。為了提供由觸摸感測器之區段所形成之觸摸敏感平面,此伸縮堅硬部份可以包括裝置,用於在此可撓式顯示器之折疊狀態與伸展狀態之間之轉換期間,將此觸摸感測器之各區段位移。亦應注意,此等L型部份或具有彎曲區域之部份等亦為可能。此實施例參考圖1b與圖1c更詳細討論。
根據本發明之電子裝置之另一實施例中,此觸摸感測器包括沿著堅硬部份分佈之複數個感測器元件。
根據本實施例,此觸控感測器可以包括:數個壓力敏感感測器,其可以配置隨著U型伸縮部份之開啟與關閉而翻轉或向上與向下推動,將此U型伸縮部份較佳地作為伸縮拉引器埶行。此等感測器可以執行例如作為電容或壓力感測器,因而在此給定於顯示器螢幕上準確位置之感測器之間內插。此實施例參考圖2a與圖2b更詳細討論。
在根據本發明之電子裝置之另一實施例中,此觸摸感測器配置在可撓式顯示器上。
此用於觸摸感測器之實施例中較佳地使用實質上堅硬不透明觸控感測器。此等感測器可以安裝於U型拉引器中。當此等拉引器伸展時,此等拉引器彼此排成一列,而導致此等觸摸感測器相對應排成一列。以此方式可以產生實質上齊平的表面,而能賦予觸摸敏感介面。此實施例參考圖3更詳細討論。
此等觸控感測器較佳由包括以下裝置之組群中選出:電容感測器、壓力感測器、電磁感測器、聲學感測器、壓電感測器或電阻感測器。此壓力感測器之例可以作為其他適當例中之壓電感測器。此電磁感測器之例可以作為在其他適當例中之紅外線感測器。特別是此紅外線感測器或聲學感測器為有利,因為其可以無須接觸顯示器而操作。例如,此等感測器可容納於U型堅硬部份中,較佳地可以配置以形成拉引器之伸縮部份之用。此等拉引器保護此可撓式顯示器之邊緣及/或後背部份,且可以與此顯示器之前或後表面接觸。當此等感測器設置在顯示器後時,可以偵側到藉由壓縮顯示器所產生之凹陷。此實施例參考圖4更詳細討論。
根據本發明之電子裝置之另一實施例中,此觸摸感測器包括:在可撓式顯示器下之一組水平與垂直對準格柵線,較佳地,此等線在一傳送與一接收模式之間交替,設計與在例如特殊鋼筆或尖筆之尖端中適當電感器共振電路配合。以此方式藉由接收由此線圈與電感器共振電路所影響之發射信號,而可以判斷此鋼筆或尖筆相對於可撓式顯示器之位置。
例如,可以將金屬格柵安裝在可撓式顯示器之後,且可以藉由伸縮部份而分成區段。配置此格柵而與例如尖筆之可磁性體配合,以經由電磁交互作用對其供應電力。以此方式亦可以判斷此尖筆相對於可撓式顯示器之位置。此實施例使用例如在WO2006/039939中所揭示之已知原理。較佳地,此尖筆之尖端製成壓力敏感,用於偵測在顯示器上之輕輕敲擊。此實施例參考圖5更詳細討論。
根據本發明之電子裝置之另一實施例中,此功能模組包括照明裝置。
此可撓式顯示器可以執行作為透明顯示器,用於賦予背光功能,其可以藉由配置在堅硬部份中之光源而獲得,且可以與實質上配置在可撓式顯示器之整個主動區域上、可撓式顯示器下之光波導配合。此等堅硬部分較佳為U型,用於容納一或多個光源。以此方式而屏蔽來自光源之直接光線,且此等光波導將光線在此顯示器之背板上實質均勻地擴散。此光源與光波導亦可以相對於U型伸縮部份以非平形方式配向。應注意,此種照明功能可以與如同以上說明之觸摸敏感功能組合。此實施例參考圖6更詳細討論。
在此電子裝置之另一實施例中,此顯示器配置作為反射元件。此照明功能藉由配置在可撓式顯示器上堅硬部份中之複數個光源而能賦予。以此方式賦予前光功能。較佳地,此光源由U型伸縮部份容納。此等光源可以配置在此可撓式顯示器之兩橫向側,以致於光線從此兩側照射在顯示器上。為了獲得顯示器之淨均勻前方照明,此光源可以為楔形,或替代方式,可以將適當透鏡設置在光波導中。仍有替代方式,可以在顯示器螢幕上使用濾波器。應注意,此種照明功能可以與如同以上說明之觸摸敏感功能組合。此實施例參考圖7更詳細討論。
