Abstract

A light-emitting device can be folded in such a manner that a flexible light-emitting panel is supported by a plurality of housings which are provided spaced from each other and the light-emitting panel is bent so that surfaces of adjacent housings are in contact with each other. Furthermore, in the light-emitting device, in which part or the whole of the housings have magnetism, the two adjacent housings can be fixed to each other by a magnetic force when the light-emitting device is used in a folded state.

Claims (13)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a foldable light-emitting panel; and

a touch sensor, wherein a detection surface of the touch sensor is provided along a curved surface made by a display surface of the foldable light-emitting panel when the foldable light-emitting panel is bent,

wherein, when the foldable light-emitting panel is deformed from an opened state to a folded state, a region that is not viewed in the display surface is put in a non-light-emitting state, and a region that is viewed in the display surface is put in a light-emitting state.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the foldable light-emitting panel comprises an electroluminescent element.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the foldable light-emitting panel is folded with a curvature radius.

4. An electronic device comprising:

a foldable light-emitting panel; and

a touch sensor, wherein a detection surface of the touch sensor is provided along a curved surface made by a display surface of the foldable light-emitting panel when the foldable light-emitting panel is bent,

wherein, when the foldable light-emitting panel is deformed from an opened state to a folded state, a region that is not viewed in the display surface is put in a non-light-emitting state, and a region that is viewed in the display surface is put in a light-emitting state, and

wherein the folded state of the foldable light-emitting panel is fixed by a magnetic force.

5. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the foldable light-emitting panel comprises an electroluminescent element.

6. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the foldable light-emitting panel is folded with a curvature radius.
