Patent number: 8363393Abstract: An auto-closable flexible display device including a flexible display (38); a spreader mechanism (50) operably connected to the flexible display (38), the spreader mechanism (50) having a latch assembly (36) to maintain the spreader mechanism (50) in an open position; an acceleration sensor generating an acceleration signal; and an acceleration processor responsive to the acceleration signal and generating a close signal when the acceleration signal exceeds a predetermined acceleration limit. The latch assembly (36) is responsive to the close signal to release the spreader mechanism (50) from the open position.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2007Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Creator Technology B.V.Inventor: David J. E. Bemelmans

Patent number: 8199471Abstract: A rollable display device including a first housing 32; a second housing 34 mateable with the first housing 32; an electronic package 36 disposed within at least one of the first housing and the second housing 34; a roll frame 40 coupled to the first housing 32; a rollable display 38 rotatably disposed within the roll frame 40, having one end connected at the second housing 34, and operably connected to the electronic package 36 to display information from the electronic package 36; and a spreader mechanism 50 having a first leg assembly 52, a second leg assembly 54, and a joining assembly 56. First leg assembly 52 couples the first housing 32 and the second housing 34, second leg assembly 54 couples the first housing 32 and the second housing 34, and joining assembly 56 couples the first leg assembly 52 and the second leg assembly 54.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2005Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Creator Technology B.V.Inventors: David J. E. Bemelmans, Kenny Darmadji, Edzer Huitema, Raymond W. Lafarre, Nicolaas W. Schellingerhout

Patent number: 8151501Abstract: A wrap display system (50) employs a stick (70), a flexible display (60) structurally configured to be wrapped around the stick (70), and a hinged frame structurally configured to support the flexible display (60). The flexible display (60) is wrapped around the stick (70) for facilitating a storage of the flexible display (60) and unwrapped from around the stick (70) for facilitating an operation of the flexible display. The hinged frame has a curvilinear configuration for fixing the flexible display (60) in a storage position relative to the stick (70) in response to the flexible display (60) being wrapped around the stick (70), and a planar configuration for fixing the flexible display (60) in an operational position relative to the stick (70) in response to the flexible display (60) being unwrapped from around the stick (70).Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2007Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Creator Technology B.V.Inventors: David J. E. Bemelmans, Hendrik Dirk Visser, Michael Johannes Anna Maria Walters, Johannes Cornelis Antonius Muller, Jozef Christiaan Mathieu Versleegers

Patent number: 8035577Abstract: A wrap display system employs a stick (40, 50), and a flexible unit display (20, 120) having an integration of a flexible display (21) and a display cover (22, 122) that are structurally configured to be wrapped around the stick (40, 50). A holdout mechanism (30) can integrated with the flexible display (21) and the display cover (22, 122) to fix the flexible display (21) in a readable position with respect to the stick (40, 50) in response to the flexible display (21) being unwrapped from the stick (40, 50).Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2006Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: Creator Technology B.V.Inventors: Raymond W. Lafarre, David J. E. Bemelmans, Piet C. J. Van Rens

Patent number: 7724508Abstract: In a device (10), a flexible display screen (11) and a housing (12, 13) are structurally configurable between an open position and a closed position. The housing (12, 13) visibly exposes a full operating view of the flexible display screen (11) in response to the flexible display screen (11) and the housing (12, 13) being structurally configured in the open position. The housing (12, 13) also visibly exposes a partial operating view of the flexible display screen (11) in response to the flexible display screen (11) and the housing (12, 13) being structurally configured in the closed position. A cover (16) manually or automatically impedes physical damage to the partial operating view of the flexible display screen (11) in response to the flexible display screen (11) and the housing (12, 13) being structurally configured in the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2006Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Polymer Vision LimitedInventors: David J. E. Bemelmans, Ian Buckle
