DISPLAY PANEL AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17836633 titled 'DISPLAY PANEL AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic apparatus with a display panel and a component underneath it. The display panel has two display areas, one with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and the other with display element groups that also include LEDs. The component overlaps the second display area. The boundary between the two display areas has a staircase-shaped step and the upper insulating layer has protrusion portions towards the second display area.

  • The electronic apparatus has a display panel with two display areas, one with LEDs and the other with display element groups that include LEDs.
  • A component is located underneath the display panel and overlaps the second display area.
  • The boundary between the two display areas has a staircase-shaped step, created by the pixel-defining layer and the upper insulating layer.
  • The upper insulating layer has protrusion portions that extend towards the second display area from the edge of the layer.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
  • Display panels for televisions and monitors.
  • Wearable devices such as smartwatches and fitness trackers.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient use of space by overlapping the component with the second display area.
  • Improved structural integrity and protection of the display panel.
  • Enhanced display quality and performance.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Compact design and efficient use of space.
  • Improved durability and protection for the display panel.
  • Enhanced display quality and performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic apparatus comprises a display panel and a component on a lower surface of the display panel. The display panel includes a first display area with first light-emitting diodes, a second display area with display element groups that include second light-emitting diodes, transmission areas in the second display area, a pixel-defining layer surrounding an emission area of each of the first and second light-emitting diodes, an upper insulating layer, and a thin-film encapsulation layer. The component overlaps the second display area in a plan view. In a boundary portion of the first and second display areas, the pixel-defining layer and the upper insulating layer form a staircase-shaped step, and the upper insulating layer includes at least one protrusion portion protruding towards the second display area from an edge of the upper insulating layer.
