Abstract

An electronic device of a novel embodiment, specifically an arm-worn electronic device used while being worn on an arm, is provided. An arm-worn secondary battery used while being worn on an arm is provided. An electronic device is provided, which includes a structure body having a curved surface as a support structure body, a flexible secondary battery including a film as an exterior body over the curved surface of the support structure body, and a display portion including a plurality of display elements between a pair of films over the secondary battery. The plurality of display elements and the secondary battery overlap with each other at least partly. It is possible to provide an electronic device which has a small maximum thickness of 1 cm or less and a light weight of 50 g or less even when an arm-worn secondary battery is provided with a display portion.

Claims (36)

1. An arm-worn electronic device comprising:

a structure body comprising a curved portion;

a display portion with a curved shape in both first and second states of the arm-worn electronic device; and

a secondary battery with a curved shape in both the first and second states of the arm-worn electronic device,

wherein the secondary battery and the display portion overlap each other with the curved portion of the structure body therebetween,

wherein the arm-worn electronic device further comprises a first region where the secondary battery and the display portion overlap each other and a second region where the secondary battery and the display portion does not overlap each other,

wherein each of the first region and the second region has different curvature radiuses between the first state and the second state of the arm-worn electronic device, and

wherein the second region has a larger difference of curvature radiuses between the first state and the second state of the arm-worn electronic device than the first region.

2. The arm-worn electronic device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the secondary battery is placed on the curved portion, and

wherein the display portion is placed on the curved portion.

3. The arm-worn electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the second region has a smaller curvature radius than the first region in the state of the arm-worn electronic device.

4. The arm-worn electronic device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first state is a state to leave the arm-worn electronic device, and

wherein the second state is a state to change a shape of the arm-worn electronic device.

5. An arm-worn electronic device comprising:

a structure body comprising a curved portion;

a display portion with a curved shape; and

a secondary battery with a curved shape,

wherein the secondary battery and the display portion overlap each other with the curved portion of the structure body therebetween,

wherein the arm-worn electronic device further comprises a first region where the secondary battery and the display portion overlap each other and a second region where the secondary battery and the display portion does not overlap each other,

wherein each of the first region and the second region has different curvature radiuses between a first state and a second state of the arm-worn electronic device,

wherein the second region has a larger difference of curvature radiuses between the first state and the second state of the arm-worn electronic device than the first region,

wherein the secondary battery is sealed using a film,

wherein the film is configured to be folded to seal the secondary battery, and

wherein one side among four sides of the film is a folded portion, and the other three sides of the film has a sealed portion.

6. The arm-worn electronic device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the secondary battery comprises a lead electrode, and

wherein the lead electrode protrudes from the sealed portion of one of the other three sides.

7. The arm-worn electronic device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the secondary battery is placed on the curved portion, and

wherein the display portion is placed on the curved portion.

8. The arm-worn electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein the second region has a smaller curvature radius than the first region in the state of the arm-worn electronic device.

9. The arm-worn electronic device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the first state is a state to leave the arm-worn electronic device, and

wherein the second state is a state to change a shape of the arm-worn electronic device.
