DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17892966 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a display device with a display panel that includes a transistor, an insulating layer, a light emitting element, and a stopper pattern. It also mentions a pixel definition layer and a thin film encapsulation layer.
- The display panel of the device includes a transistor, an insulating layer, a light emitting element, and a stopper pattern.
- The light emitting element is electrically connected to the transistor and includes a first electrode, a light emitting layer, and a second electrode.
- A pixel definition layer is provided on the stopper pattern, with a first opening extending through it to the first electrode and a second opening extending to the stopper pattern.
- A thin film encapsulation layer is disposed on the pixel definition layer and inside the second opening, covering the light emitting element.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Display devices such as televisions, computer monitors, and smartphones.
- Wearable devices with display capabilities.
- Automotive displays and instrument clusters.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved display panel structure with enhanced insulation and protection.
- Efficient electrical connection between the transistor and the light emitting element.
- Precise definition of pixels for better image quality.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced durability and reliability of the display panel.
- Improved image quality and color accuracy.
- Increased lifespan of the display device.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes a display panel. The display panel includes a transistor, an insulating layer disposed on the transistor, a light emitting element electrically connected to the transistor and including a first electrode disposed on the insulating layer, a light emitting layer disposed on the first electrode, and a second electrode disposed on the light emitting layer, a stopper pattern disposed spaced apart from the first electrode, a pixel definition layer provided on the stopper pattern. A first opening extends through the pixel definition layer to the first electrode, and a second opening extends through the pixel defining layer to the stopper pattern. A thin film encapsulation layer disposed on the pixel definition layer and inside the second opening, covering the light emitting element.
