Abstract

An electronic device includes a first chassis, a second chassis rotatably connected to the first chassis through a hinge, a display having an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panel stored in the first chassis, and a control board stored in the second chassis and mounted with a control unit that controls driving of the OLED panel and a first connector. The display includes a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) that electrically connects the OLED panel and the control board, and a non-volatile memory that stores first correction data based on an initial state of each pixel of the OLED panel and second correction data based on a usage status of each of the pixels of the OLED panel. The display also includes a second connector connected to the first connector.

Claims (14)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a first chassis;

a second chassis rotatably connected to the first chassis through a hinge;

a display comprising an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panel stored in the first chassis; and

a control board stored in the second chassis and mounted with a control unit that controls driving of the OLED panel and a first connector,

wherein the display further comprises:

a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) that electrically connects the OLED panel and the control board;

a non-volatile memory that stores first correction data based on an initial state of each pixel of the OLED panel and second correction data based on a usage status of each of the pixels of the OLED panel; and

a second connector connected to the first connector;

wherein the display including the OLED panel in the first chassis, the FPC, and the non-volatile memory is removable from the electronic device, without removing the control board in the second chassis, by disconnecting the first connector and the second connector.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein

the display has a board mounted with the non-volatile memory and the second connector, and

the board is stored in the second chassis.

3. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the FPC and the board are an integrally formed rigid flexible board.
