DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17705947 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display device that includes a display panel with a light-emitting element layer, a thin-film encapsulation layer, and a touch electrode layer. The display area is where the light-emitting element layer is located, and there is a non-display area surrounding it. A resin pattern is directly in contact with the touch electrode layer and is located in the non-display area.
- The display device includes a display panel with a light-emitting element layer, a thin-film encapsulation layer, and a touch electrode layer.
- The light-emitting element layer is located in the display area, while the non-display area surrounds it.
- A resin pattern is directly in contact with the touch electrode layer and is located in the non-display area.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches.
- Automotive displays for infotainment systems and instrument clusters.
- Industrial displays for control panels and monitoring systems.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a protective layer for the touch electrode layer, preventing damage and improving durability.
- Allows for a more compact design by utilizing the non-display area effectively.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced durability and protection for the touch electrode layer.
- Improved design flexibility and space utilization.
- Potential for thinner and lighter display devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes, a display panel including a light-emitting element layer disposed on a substrate, a thin-film encapsulation layer disposed on the light-emitting element layer, a touch electrode layer disposed on the thin-film encapsulation layer, a display area, the light-emitting element layer being located in the display area, and a non-display area disposed around the display area, and a resin pattern disposed on and directly contacting the touch electrode layer. The non-display area includes a first non-display area disposed around the display area, and a second non-display area spaced apart from the display area, the first non-display area being disposed between the display area and the second non-display area in a plan view. The resin pattern is disposed in the second non-display area in a plan view.
