DISPLAY PANEL AND DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17623269 titled 'DISPLAY PANEL AND DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The present application discloses a display panel and a display device. The display panel consists of a display area, a bending area, and a bonding area. The bending area is divided into a regular bending sub-area and a thinning bending sub-area. The display panel also includes a thin film transistor layer and a touch metal layer. The touch metal layer is located on the thin film transistor layer and includes touch traces that extend through the thinning bend sub-area to the bonding area. The thickness of the thin film transistor layer in the thinning bending sub-area is less than the thickness of the thin film transistor layer in the regular bending sub-area.
- The patent application describes a display panel with a bending area that includes a regular bending sub-area and a thinning bending sub-area.
- The display panel also includes a thin film transistor layer and a touch metal layer.
- The touch metal layer is located on the thin film transistor layer and includes touch traces that extend through the thinning bend sub-area to the bonding area.
- The thickness of the thin film transistor layer in the thinning bending sub-area is less than the thickness of the thin film transistor layer in the regular bending sub-area.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Flexible displays for smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices.
- Curved or bendable displays for automotive dashboards, instrument panels, and infotainment systems.
- Wearable devices with flexible or curved displays, such as smartwatches and fitness trackers.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Enables the creation of flexible and bendable displays that can conform to different shapes and form factors.
- Reduces the risk of damage to the display panel when it is bent or flexed.
- Improves the durability and reliability of the display panel in bending areas.
Benefits of this technology:
- Provides a more immersive and visually appealing user experience with curved or flexible displays.
- Enables the design of sleeker and more compact electronic devices.
- Enhances the overall durability and lifespan of the display panel.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present application discloses a display panel and a display device. The display panel comprises a display area, a bending area and a bonding area, and the bending area comprises a reguler bending sub-area and a thinning bending sub-area. The display panel also comprises a thin film transistor layer and a touch metal layer. The touch metal layer is located on the thin film transistor layer and comprises touch traces extending through the thinning bend sub-area to the bonding area; wherein, a thickness of the thin film transistor layer in the thinning bending sub-area is less than a thickness of the thin film transistor layer in the regular bending sub-area.
