Abstract: A display device includes a folding area at which the display device is foldable; a first non-folding area and a second non-folding area opposing each other with the folding area therebetween; a display panel; an adhesive member having a thickness of about 15 micrometers to about 18 micrometers; and a protective film facing the display panel with the adhesive member having the thickness of about 15 micrometers to about 18 micrometers therebetween, the adhesive member coupling the protective film to the display panel.

Abstract: A portable pill dispenser device mountable with one or more pill cartridges that dispense pills by winding a pill strip that encloses pills between flexible films. The pills are enclosed in the pill strip and are released as the films of the pill strip are separated. The pill dispense device include actuators (e.g., motors) that cause winding cylinders in each of the pill cartridges to rotate, causing the pill strip to move towards an opening of each pill cartridge, separate the films of the pill strip, and release the pills through the opening. Indicia may be marked on at least one of the films to enable detection of the moving distance of the pill strip. The pill dispense device includes a sensor for detecting the indicia so that the movement of the films and release of the pills can be tightly controlled.

Abstract: Described herein are various sensor-based medication storage and dosage tracking systems, comprising a base unit with a visual display, and at least one receptacle to receive one or more pill containers. Sensors in the system are configured to detect medication removal from the pill containers as the pill containers remain in the receptacle, and are configured to automatically track medication usage and amount, and to provide medication reminders to the user. The system may be configured to communicate with other personal devices, including cell phones and personal computers, as well as remote servers or electronic health care record systems, and may be further to provide notifications to and from third parties as they relate to medication compliance or other healthcare activities.
