Electronic apparatus including flexible display
An electronic apparatus may include: a housing including a first housing, which forms the side surfaces and rear surface of the electronic apparatus, and a second housing, which is connected to the first housing so as to be able to move relative to the first housing; a flexible display including a first region, which is exposed to the outside of the housing, and a second region, which extends from the first region and is inserted into or drawn out of the housing as the second housing slides relative to the first housing; a first digitizer coupled to the first region of the flexible display; a plate located inside the electronic apparatus; and a second digitizer disposed on the plate, wherein, in a state in which the second region has been drawn out of the housing, the second digitizer can be positioned corresponding to the drawn out second region.
1 . An electronic apparatus comprising:
a housing comprising a first housing forming at least side surfaces and a rear surface of the electronic apparatus, and a second housing connected to the first housing and slidably movable relative to the first housing;
a flexible display comprising a first area and a second area that extends from the first area, the first area configured to be viewably exposed to the outside of the housing, the second area configured to move into the housing and/or move out from the outside as the second housing slides relative to the first housing;
a first digitizer coupled to the first area of the flexible display and configured to move together with the flexible display as the second housing slides relative to the first housing; and
a second digitizer coupled to the first housing and configured to remain fixed regardless of the second housing sliding relative to the first housing.
2 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second digitizer is fixed relative to the first housing and is configured to be positioned under the first digitizer to overlap the first digitizer in a state where the second area of the flexible display has been inserted inside the housing.
3 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second digitizer is configured to be positioned so as not to overlap the first digitizer in a state where the second area of the flexible display has been withdrawn to the outside of the housing.
4 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second digitizer is configured to be positioned to overlap a height compensation layer in a state where the second area of the flexible display has been withdrawn to the outside of the housing.
5 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , comprising a first shielding layer positioned on the lower part of the first digitizer.
6 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , comprising a second shielding layer positioned on the lower part of the second digitizer.
7 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first digitizer is configured to move together with the second housing in a direction identical to a direction in which the flexible display moves in a case that the second area of the flexible display is withdrawn to the outside of the housing, and the second digitizer is fixed relative to the first housing without movement.
8 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first digitizer is configured to be driven and the second digitizer is not driven, in a case that the second area of the flexible display is inserted into the housing.
9 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first digitizer and the second digitizer are configured to be driven, in a case that the second area of the flexible display is withdrawn to the outside of the housing.
10 . The electronic apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the second digitizer is configured to be driven simultaneously as the second area of the flexible display is withdrawn to the outside of the housing.
11 . The electronic apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the second digitizer is configured to be driven in a case that the second area of the flexible display has been withdrawn to the outside of the housing.
12 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first digitizer comprises multiple first sensing patterns arranged in a first direction and multiple second sensing patterns arranged in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction,
the second digitizer comprises multiple third sensing patterns arranged in the first direction and multiple fourth sensing patterns arranged in the second direction,
the multiple first sensing patterns and the multiple third sensing patterns comprise different arrangement forms, and
the multiple second sensing patterns and the multiple fourth sensing patterns comprise different arrangement forms.
13 . The electronic apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the multiple first sensing patterns are formed to have a first width, and
the multiple second sensing patterns are formed to have a second width wider than the first width.
14 . The electronic apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the multiple third sensing patterns are formed to have a third width, and
the multiple fourth sensing patterns are formed to have a fourth width wider than the third width.
15 . The electronic apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the multiple first sensing patterns are arranged to comprise a first interval, and
the multiple second sensing patterns are arranged to comprise a second interval narrower than the first interval.
16 . The electronic apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the multiple third sensing patterns are arranged to comprise a third interval, and
the multiple fourth sensing patterns are arranged to comprise a fourth interval narrower than the third interval.
17 . The electronic apparatus of claim 12 , further comprising a digitizer driving IC configured for driving the first digitizer and the second digitizer,
wherein the digitizer driving IC is configured to independently drive the first and second digitizers and to set a sensitivity of the second digitizer higher than a sensitivity of the first digitizer.
