Abstract

A sturdy electronic device is provided. A reliable electronic device is provided. A novel electronic device is provided. An electronic device includes a first board, a second board, a display portion having flexibility, and a power storage device having flexibility. The first board and the second board face each other. The display portion and the power storage device are provided between the first board and the second board. The display portion includes a first surface facing the power storage device. The first surface includes a first region not fixed to the power storage device. The first region overlaps with a display region of the display portion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An electronic device comprising:
a first board; a second board facing the first board; a display portion between the first board and the second board, the display portion having flexibility; and a power storage device between the first board and the second board, the power storage device having flexibility, wherein the display portion comprises a first surface facing the power storage device, wherein the first surface comprises a first region which is not in contact with the power storage device, and wherein the first region overlaps with a display region of the display portion.

2 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a space between the display portion and the power storage device.

3 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a shock-absorbing buffer member between the display portion and the power storage device.

4 . The electronic device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display portion comprises a first end portion and a second end portion, wherein the power storage device comprises a third end portion and a fourth end portion, wherein the first end portion and the third end portion are fixed to each other, and wherein a distance between the second end portion and the fourth end portion changes when a shape of the electronic device changes.

5 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a circuit board,
wherein the display portion comprises a first end portion and a second end portion, wherein the power storage device comprises a third end portion and a fourth end portion, wherein the first end portion and the third end portion are fixed to the circuit board, and wherein a distance between the second end portion and the fourth end portion changes when a shape of the electronic device changes.

6 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is configured to be worn such that the second board is in contact with a user's arm.

7 . An electronic device comprising:
a first board; a second board facing the first board; a display portion between the first board and the second board, the display portion having flexibility; a power storage device between the first board and the second board, the power storage device having flexibility; and an adhesive layer, wherein the display portion is provided on the first board with the adhesive layer provided therebetween, wherein the power storage device is in contact with the second board, and wherein a region of the power storage device is apart from the first board.

8 . The electronic device according to claim 7 , further comprising a space between the display portion and the power storage device.

9 . The electronic device according to claim 7 , further comprising a shock-absorbing buffer member between the display portion and the power storage device.

10 . The electronic device according to claim 7 ,
wherein the display portion comprises a first end portion and a second end portion, wherein the power storage device comprises a third end portion and a fourth end portion, wherein the first end portion and the third end portion are fixed to each other, and wherein a distance between the second end portion and the fourth end portion changes when a shape of the electronic device changes.

11 . The electronic device according to claim 7 , further comprising a circuit board,
wherein the display portion comprises a first end portion and a second end portion, wherein the power storage device comprises a third end portion and a fourth end portion, wherein the first end portion and the third end portion are fixed to the circuit board, and wherein a distance between the second end portion and the fourth end portion changes when a shape of the electronic device changes.

12 . The electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein the electronic device is configured to be worn such that the second board is in contact with a user's arm.

13 . An electronic device comprising:
a first housing having flexibility; a display portion inside the first housing, the display portion having flexibility; a second housing facing the first housing, the second housing having flexibility; and a power storage device inside the second housing, the power storage device having flexibility, wherein the first housing comprises a first surface having a light-transmitting property, wherein a first surface of the display portion is in contact with the first surface of the first housing, and wherein the second housing is in contact with the first housing.

14 . The electronic device according to claim 13 , wherein the second housing comprises a screw.

15 . The electronic device according to claim 13 , wherein the electronic device is configured to be worn such that the second housing is in contact with a user's arm.

16 . The electronic device according to claim 13 ,
wherein the display portion comprises a display element on a first surface side of the display portion, and wherein the display element and the first surface of the first housing overlap each other.
