To associate condition information, such as (a) a location in a movement section at which fatigue occurred, (b) a type of work or operation during which fatigue occurred, and (c) a type of natural phenomenon experienced when fatigue occurred, a device for displaying the material fatigue of a machine is configured to observe stress variation in a time series using a sensor correlated with the stress variation or stress of a machine. Stress variation in a single cycle and the time when the stress variation occurred are detected, and the stress variation value and time of occurrence are output and displayed.

According to the present invention, the work status at an actual site is represented using a combination of component statuses. A degree of damage that takes into account the manner of use at the actual site is predicted by associating test data collected in a component status test. The objective of the present invention is to estimate, with high accuracy, the degree of damage to a device operating in an actual environment. In order to achieve this objective, this damage estimation device is provided with: a component status classification processing unit that classifies the operating status of a device; a component status characteristic amount storage unit that stores a characteristic amount for classification processing by the component status classification processing unit; and a damage degree storage unit for each component status, said damage degree storage unit storing the degree of damage to various regions of a device for each component status, wherein the degree of damage is measured in advance for each component status or is calculated using a simulation. The damage estimation device is characterized by collecting sensor/control data required for device status classification, classifying component status using the component status classification processing unit, calculating the classified result and the degree of damage corresponding to said result using the damage degree storage unit for each component status, and outputting the degree of damage.

A flexible display is bent in an intermediate region such that a first region and a second region overlap each other. A spacer is disposed inside a bend of the flexible display. The spacer includes a front-side region overlapping the first region, a back-side region overlapping the second region, and a guide region overlapping the intermediate region and regulating the bend. The spacer includes, in the front-side region, a first step and a first bottom surface recessed below the guide region. The spacer includes, in the back-side region, a second step and a second bottom surface recessed below the guide region. An interval between a second reinforcing film and a second raised surface located at the second step is larger than an interval between a first reinforcing film and a first raised surface located at the first step.
