DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17901729 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display device with a display panel that is divided into a display region and a non-display region. It also includes an input sensing unit with a sensing pad in the non-display region, a sensing electrode in the display region, and a signal line connecting the sensing pad and the sensing electrode. The display panel has a spacer in the non-display region, which creates an opening where a wider portion of the signal line is located.
- The display device has a display panel divided into a display region and a non-display region.
- It includes an input sensing unit with a sensing pad in the non-display region and a sensing electrode in the display region.
- A signal line connects the sensing pad and the sensing electrode.
- The display panel has a spacer in the non-display region, creating an opening.
- The opening contains a wider portion of the signal line.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Touchscreen devices: The input sensing unit allows for touch input on the display panel.
- Interactive displays: The sensing pad and electrode enable interactive features on the display.
- Gaming consoles: The touch input capability can enhance gaming experiences.
- Smartphones and tablets: The display device can be used in mobile devices for touch input and interactive features.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Accurate touch input: The sensing pad and electrode provide precise touch detection.
- Efficient use of space: The display panel is divided into display and non-display regions, optimizing the use of screen real estate.
- Improved user experience: The touch input capability enhances the usability and functionality of the display device.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced touch sensitivity: The sensing pad and electrode allow for accurate and responsive touch input.
- Improved display design: The division of the display panel into regions allows for more flexible and creative design options.
- Increased functionality: The touch input and interactive features enable a wider range of applications and user interactions.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a display device including a display panel partitioned into a display region and a non-display region, and an input sensing unit including a sensing pad in a pad region overlapping the non-display region, a sensing electrode overlapping the display region, and a signal line electrically connecting the sensing pad and the sensing electrode, wherein the display panel has a spacer overlapping the non-display region, and defining an opening in which a first portion of the signal line is located, the first portion of the signal line having a greater width than a second portion adjacent thereto.
