First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . An electronic device comprising: a support having a first curved surface; and a display portion having a top surface and a side surface in contact with one side of the top surface, the display portion being over the support, wherein the top surface includes a first display region, wherein the side surface has a second curved surface and includes a second display region, and wherein the first display region and the second display region are continuously provided. 2 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the side surface includes a part of a side surface of a cylinder or an elliptical cylinder. 3 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the support has a belt-like region, and wherein a width of the belt-like region is smaller than a width of the display portion. 4 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic device includes a housing, and wherein the display portion is in contact with an outer surface of the housing. 5 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the support have a shape along a cylindrical object. 6 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is configured to be worn such that the support is in contact with an arm of a human. 7 . An electronic device comprising: a support having a first curved surface; and a housing having a top surface and a side surface in contact with one side of the top surface, the housing being over the support, wherein the top surface includes a first display region, wherein the side surface has a second curved surface and includes a second display region, and wherein the first display region and the second display region are continuously provided. 8 . The electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein the side surface includes a part of a side surface of a cylinder or an elliptical cylinder. 9 . The electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein the support has a belt-like region, and wherein a width of the belt-like region is smaller than a width of the housing. 10 . The electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein the support have a shape along a cylindrical object. 11 . The electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein the electronic device is configured to be worn such that the support is in contact with an arm of a human.
