Adjustable flexible display device

Abstract

A flexible display device may include a display module unit configured to project an image, a frame, and a connecting unit. The frame supports the display module unit. The connecting unit is coupled to the display module unit and the frame, and is adjustable so as to allow an amount of curvature of the display module unit to be adjusted.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority to, and the benefit of, Korean Patent Application No. 10-2015-0013810 filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Jan. 28, 2015, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002](a) Field of the Invention[0003]Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to display devices, and more particularly, to adjustable flexible display devices.[0004](b) Description of the Related Art[0005]A cathode ray tube (CRT), which is one of the display devices that are generally and widely used, is mainly used for TV sets, and monitors for measuring instruments, information terminals, and the like. However, it suffers from the drawbacks of excessive weight and size.[0006]As a solution for the aforementioned problem, flat panel display devices have increasingly displaced CRTs due to their smaller size, lighter weight, and lower power consumption.[0007]Typically...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a flexible display device that users can adjust easily the degree of curvature. This makes the device thinner because there is no need for a motor and components to adjust the curve. It also reduces the cost of the display because there is no need for a motor. Additionally, there will be no excessive noise from the motor.

Problems solved by technology

However, it suffers from the drawbacks of excessive weight and size.
