Display device and electronic device
View Patent ↗A display device whose aspect ratio can be changed is provided. The display device includes a plurality of display units and a plurality of driver circuit units. The plurality of display units each include a light-emitting portion and a connection region. The plurality of driver circuit units each include a driver circuit portion and a connection region. The connection regions of the adjacent units overlap with each other and one shaft passes through the connection regions. The adjacent units are electrically connected to each other with the one shaft. With such a structure, an angle between the adjacent units electrically connected to each other with one shaft can be changed, which enables the aspect ratio of the display device to be changed.
1. A display device comprising:
a plurality of display units; and
a plurality of shafts,
wherein the plurality of display units are configured to form a display region,
wherein each of the plurality of display units comprises:
a light-emitting portion; and
a connection region comprising an opening,
wherein the connection region of a first one of the display units is electrically connected to the connection region of a second one of the display units with a first one of the shafts,
wherein the first one of the shafts passes through the openings in the connection regions of the first one of the display units and the second one of the display units,
wherein the connection regions of the first one of the display units and the second one of the display units are configured to overlap with each other,
wherein each of the shafts comprises a conductor,
wherein the conductor in the first one of the shafts is electrically connected to a wiring in the first one of the display units and a wiring in the second one of the display units,
wherein an angle between the first one of the display units and the second one of the display units is configured to be changed, and
wherein an aspect ratio of the display device is changeable in accordance with the change of the angle.
2. The display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the shaft comprises a plurality of openings,
wherein the conductor and the wiring are connected through the openings of the shaft, and
wherein a range of change in the angle depends on lengths of the openings of the shaft.
3. The display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the conductor has ductility and malleability, and
wherein the conductor is covered with an insulator.
4. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of driver units,
wherein each of the plurality of driver units comprises a driver circuit portion and a connection region,
wherein the driver circuit portion is configured to drive the display region,
wherein the connection region of a first one of the driver units is electrically connected to the connection region of a third one of the display units, and
wherein the electrical connection between the first one of the driver units and the third one of the display units is made by a second one of the plurality of shafts.
5. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein an angle between the first one of the driver units and the third one of the display units is configured to be changed.
6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting portion comprises a light-emitting element.
