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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17883015 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display device that includes a display panel with a display area and a non-display area adjacent to it. A circuit board is bonded to the display panel and is electrically connected to the pixels in the display area. An optical layer is placed on the display panel, with a first region having a greater thickness and a second region with a smaller thickness that overlaps the bonded portion of the circuit board.

  • The display device includes a display panel with pixels and a non-display area.
  • A circuit board is bonded to the display panel and connected to the pixels.
  • An optical layer is placed on the display panel.
  • The optical layer has a first region with a greater thickness and a second region with a smaller thickness.
  • The second region of the optical layer overlaps the bonded portion of the circuit board.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
  • Television and monitor displays.
  • Automotive displays and infotainment systems.
  • Virtual reality and augmented reality headsets.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a compact and efficient design for display devices.
  • Reduces the overall thickness of the display panel.
  • Ensures proper electrical connection between the circuit board and the pixels.
  • Improves the visual quality and performance of the display.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enables thinner and lighter display devices.
  • Enhances the visual experience with improved image quality.
  • Allows for more flexibility in design and form factor.
  • Improves the reliability and durability of the display device.


Original Abstract Submitted

A display device includes a display panel. The display panel includes a display area including pixels and a non-display area adjacent to at least a side of the display area. A circuit board is bonded to at least a surface of the display panel that overlaps the non-display area in a plan view, the circuit board being electrically connected to the pixels. An optical layer is disposed on the display panel. The optical layer includes a first region having a first thickness and a second region having a second thickness less than the first thickness of the first region of the optical layer. The second region of the optical layer overlaps the bonded portion of the circuit board in a plan view.
