DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF PROVIDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17870938 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF PROVIDING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display device with a unique structure and configuration. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The display device consists of a base substrate, a light emitting element layer, an encapsulation layer, and a light blocking layer.
  • The light emitting element layer has three distinct areas: a central non-emitting area, an emitting area surrounding the central area, and a peripheral non-emitting area surrounding the emitting area.
  • An encapsulation layer is applied to cover the light emitting element layer, providing protection and stability.
  • A light blocking layer is placed on top of the encapsulation layer, and it includes two layers: a first light blocking layer and a second light blocking layer.
  • The first light blocking layer has an opening that overlaps with the emitting area, allowing light to pass through.
  • The second light blocking layer is positioned within the opening of the first light blocking layer but is spaced apart from it.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Display devices in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, televisions, and computer monitors.
  • Signage and advertising displays.
  • Automotive displays and instrument panels.
  • Virtual reality and augmented reality headsets.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The central non-emitting area helps to prevent light leakage and improve contrast ratio in the display.
  • The unique configuration of the light blocking layer allows for precise control of light emission and blocking, enhancing the overall display quality.
  • The encapsulation layer provides protection to the light emitting element layer, increasing durability and longevity.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved display quality with enhanced contrast ratio and reduced light leakage.
  • Increased durability and lifespan of the display device.
  • Precise control over light emission and blocking, resulting in better image quality.
  • Versatile application possibilities in various electronic devices and industries.


Original Abstract Submitted

A display device includes a base substrate, a light emitting element layer including a central non-emitting area, an emitting area surrounding the central non-emitting area, and a peripheral non-emitting area surrounding the emitting area, an encapsulation layer covering the light emitting element layer, and a light blocking layer on the encapsulation layer. The light blocking layer includes a first light blocking layer defining a first opening overlapping the emitting area, and a second light blocking layer in the first opening and spaced apart from the first light blocking layer.
