Abstract

A display panel includes a first base, a second base, a flexible display for displaying, the first base, the flexible display, and the second base being successively layered, and a cavity disposed on the second base, for providing an allowance space of somewhat shifting the position of the flexible display by the stress applied thereto. The cavity formed in a concave shape is operated to scatter the stress to the flexible display.

Claims

1. A display panel comprising:

first base means and second base means;

flexible display means for displaying, said first base means, said flexible display means, and said second base means being successively layered, and

space means disposed on said second base means, for providing an allowance space permitting some shifting of the position of said flexible display means by the stress applied thereto.

2. The display panel of claim 1, wherein said space means acts to scatter stress applied to said flexible display means.

3. The display panel of claim 1, wherein said space means includes a concavecavity provided on said second base means.

4. A liquid crystal display panel comprising:

first base means and second base means;

flexible liquid crystal display means for displaying, said first base means, said flexible liquid crystal display means, and said second base means being successively layered, and

space means disposed on said second base means, for providing an allowance space permitting some shifting of the position of said flexible liquid crystal display means by stress applied thereto.

5. The liquid crystal display panel of claim 4, wherein said space means includes a cavity defined on said second base means.

6. The liquid crystal display panel of claim 5, wherein the flexible liquid crystal display means includes a display area interposing liquid crystals and a seal portion for sealing the liquid crystals, and the display area of the flexible liquid crystal display overlies the cavity.

7. The liquid crystal display panel of claim 6, wherein the seal portion is sandwiched between the first and second base means.

8. The liquid crystal display panel of claim 4, wherein said space means acts to scatter stress applied to said flexible liquid crystal display means.

9. An electronic apparatus comprising:

input means for inputting an information;

circuit means responsive to said input means, for operating said electronic apparatus;

a flexible liquid crystal display panel for displaying responsive to said circuit means and said input means, said flexible liquid crystal display comprising;

first base means and second base means;

flexible liquid crystal display means for displaying, said first base means, said flexible liquid crystal display means, and said second base means being successively layered, and

space means disposed on said second base means, for providing an allowance space permitting some shifting of the position of said flexible liquid crystal display means by stress applied thereto.

10. The electronic apparatus of claim 9, wherein said space means acts to scatter stress applied to said flexible liquid crystal display means.

11. The electronic apparatus of claim 9, wherein the space means includes a cavity defined on the second base means.

12. The electronic apparatus of claim 9, wherein said flexible liquid crystal display means includes a display area interposing liquid crystals and a seal portion for sealing the liquid crystals, and the display area of the flexible liquid crystal display overlies the cavity and the seal portion is sandwiched between the first and second base means.
