  • Patent number: 11617276
    Abstract: A display device is configured to be mounted in an indoor space of a vehicle and to change a display area. The display device includes a first frame having a first end configured to be coupled to an interior member of the vehicle, a second frame having a first end coupled to a second end of the first frame, and a flexible display disposed at a first surface of the first frame and a first surface of the second frame. The second frame is configured to rotate about the second end of the first frame, and the flexible display is configured to fold to allow the first surface of the first frame to face the first surface of the second frame.

  • Patent number: 11498421
    Abstract: A display device for a vehicle includes a first frame, a second frame configured to be move along a first direction with respect to the first frame, a roller rotatably coupled to the second frame and configured to move along the first direction based on movement of the second frame, and a flexible display that is at least partially wound around the roller and that is configured to be bent around the roller. The flexible display has an end portion fixed to the first frame. A front surface of the flexible display defines an externally exposed area that is configured to increase based on an increase of a distance between the first frame and the roller.

  • Patent number: 11178782
    Abstract: A display device for a vehicle includes a first frame configured to be coupled to a dashboard of the vehicle, a second frame configured to move vertically relative to the first frame, and a flexible display having a first area that extends along the second frame and defines a flat surface and a second area that is configured to extend from the first area, where the display device is configured to vary a shape of the second area. The display device further includes a first roller that extends in an upward-downward direction and that supports an inner surface of the flexible display to allow the second area to be curved around the first roller, a first moving body is coupled to the second area, and a second actuator configured to move the first roller and the first moving body laterally relative to the second frame.
