The foldable main body is configured to be folded at or near the crease portion, where the crease portion is shaped and sized to mount the main body over one or more edges of the product such that the proximal portion is adjacent a first side of the product and the distal portion is adjacent a second side of the product. | 2022-04-07 |
20220108634 | Systems and Methods Related to Arrangement of Tiles - A system, method, and kit facilitate the arrangement of tiles comprising a plurality of tiles coupled together and mounted to a mounting surface using a plurality of hangers and fasteners. The tiles, whether individually or when arranged together, are preferably decorative or aesthetically pleasing. Each tile may form a portion of an overall larger visual image, which may be formed by a concatenation of a plurality of the tiles. The system, method, and kit for creating arrangement of tiles may be used to create large-scale artwork from the plurality of tiles, where the various tiles may be removably arranged and may be reconfigured or deconstructed. | 2022-04-07 |
20220108635 | DISPLAY DEVICE - A display device includes a display panel having a display area and a non-display area and a polyimide substrate. The display device includes a transistor disposed above the substrate in the display area, a flexible film disposed on a side surface of the non-display area and connected to the substrate, and a conductive layer disposed below the substrate and applied with a low potential power voltage from the flexible film to improve an edge burn-in due to the polarization by offsetting positive charges in the polyimide substrate. | 2022-04-07 |
20220108636 | FLEXIBLE DISPLAY PANEL AND CURVED DISPLAY SCREEN - A flexible display panel and a curved display screen are provided. The flexible display panel includes a display region and a border region adjacent to each other and arranged along a first direction, the border region includes a chip region and a bend region, the bend region is located between the display region and the chip region, and the flexible display panel includes: a substrate; a base material reacting layer located on the substrate in the bend region; and a circuit wiring, located in the base material reacting layer, and obtained by at least a predetermined part of the base material reacting layer reacted by an oxidation reduction reaction. | 2022-04-07 |
20220108637 | DISPLAY DEVICE - A display device includes a display module including: a folding area, and first and second non-folding areas; a first support member bendable together with the display module and including: a bending area corresponding to the folding area, and first and second non-bending areas corresponding to the first and second non-folding areas; and a support layer facing the display module with the first support member therebetween, and including: a second support member in the bending area and the first and second non-bending areas; a first support plate facing the first support member with the second support member therebetween and in the bending area and the first non-bending area; and a second support plate facing the first support member with the second support member therebetween and in the bending area and the second non-bending area. The second support plate is disconnected from the first support plate at the bending area. | 2022-04-07 |
