Electronic devices with flexible displays

摘要

Electronic devices may be provided that contain flexible displays and internal components. An internal component may be positioned under the flexible display. The internal component may be an output device such as a speaker that transmits sound through the flexible display or an actuator that deforms the display in a way that is sensed by a user. The internal component may also be a microphone or pressure sensor that receives sound or pressure information through the flexible display. Structural components may be used to permanently or temporarily deform the flexible display to provide tactile feedback to a user of the device.

主权项

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a flexible display; and an internal component, wherein the flexible display is configured to be deformed by an action external to the device, wherein deformation of the flexible display creates a response from the internal component when the deformation is aligned with the internal component, wherein the flexible display further comprises a rigid cover layer having at least one opening, wherein the rigid cover layer substantially covers the flexible display, and wherein the at least one opening is aligned with the internal component.
