Benefits of technology

[0008]Accordingly, at least one objective of the present invention is to provide a flexible display that can be used more conveniently.

Problems solved by technology

Hence, the shape of the liquid crystal panel is fixed and attempt at reducing the thickness of a liquid crystal panel is met with some difficulty.
Besides the application of liquid crystal display techniques in computer displays, the development of the flexible display is also fast.
However, using the flexible panel of a flexible display is sometimes inconvenient because the flexible panel has no fixed configuration.

Abstract

A flexible display including a container, a flexible panel and at least a supporting element is provided. The flexible panel is connected to the container such that the flexible panel can be rolled up inside the container. The supporting element has a shape-remembering characteristic and is disposed in or on the flexible panel. The supporting element can also be rolled up along with the flexible panel inside the container. When the flexible panel is spread out from the container, the supporting element supports the flexible panel and maintains the flexible panel in a spread-out state.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the priority benefit of Taiwan application serial no. 95113733, filed on Apr. 18, 2006. All disclosure of the Taiwan application is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a display, and more particularly, to a flexible display.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]With the rapid development of image display technologies, computer displays have changed gradually from the earlier cathode ray tubes (CRT) to the liquid crystal displays (LCD) in current times. Because the liquid crystal panel of a liquid crystal display comprises a plurality of structurally fragile glass substrates, a metallic L frame is needed to protect the glass substrates against damages by external forces. Hence, the shape of the liquid crystal panel is fixed and attempt at reducing the thickness of a liquid crystal panel is met with some difficulty.[0006]B...
