DISPLAY DEVICE AND TILED DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17701171 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND TILED DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display device that includes multiple layers of metal lines and substrates to enable the connection and operation of thin film transistors and gate lines.
- The display device includes a first substrate, multiple gate fan-out lines, and multiple data fan-out lines in a first metal layer on the first substrate.
- A second substrate is placed on top of the first metal layer, followed by a second metal layer containing a data line extending in one direction.
- A third metal layer includes a gate electrode for the thin film transistor, and a fourth metal layer contains multiple gate lines that cross the data line in a perpendicular direction.
- At least one connection line in one of the metal layers is used to connect some of the gate fan-out lines to corresponding gate lines.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Display devices such as LCD screens, OLED displays, or electronic paper.
- Touchscreen panels for smartphones, tablets, or other electronic devices.
- Monitors, televisions, or digital signage.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Simplifies the design and manufacturing process of display devices by using multiple layers of metal lines and substrates.
- Enables efficient connection and operation of thin film transistors and gate lines.
- Reduces the complexity and cost of producing high-quality display devices.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved display quality and performance.
- Enhanced durability and reliability of the display device.
- Cost-effective manufacturing process.
- Enables the production of thinner and lighter display devices.
