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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17910481 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display device that includes a substrate with a display area and a non-display area. It also includes a pixel circuit layer with at least one transistor, a display element layer with a light emitting element, and a thin film encapsulation layer. Additionally, there is a dummy unit made of a transparent conductive material that is placed in the non-display area and on the edge portion of the substrate.

  • The display device includes a substrate with a display area and a non-display area.
  • A pixel circuit layer is placed on the substrate and includes at least one transistor.
  • A display element layer is placed on the pixel circuit layer and includes a light emitting element.
  • A thin film encapsulation layer is placed on the display element layer.
  • A dummy unit made of a transparent conductive material is placed in the non-display area and on the edge portion of the substrate.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This display device can be used in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and televisions.
  • It can also be used in wearable devices like smartwatches and augmented reality glasses.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The dummy unit helps to improve the structural integrity of the display device by providing support to the edge portion of the substrate.
  • It also helps to prevent damage to the display device by acting as a protective barrier.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The use of a transparent conductive material in the dummy unit ensures that it does not interfere with the display quality.
  • The improved structural integrity and protection provided by the dummy unit enhance the durability of the display device.
  • This technology allows for a more efficient and reliable display device design.


Original Abstract Submitted

A display device includes a substrate including a display area and a non-display area; a pixel circuit layer disposed on a first surface of the substrate and including at least one transistor; a display element layer disposed on the pixel circuit layer and including a light emitting element; a thin film encapsulation layer disposed on the display element layer; and a dummy unit disposed in the non-display area and disposed on an edge portion of the substrate. The dummy unit includes a transparent conductive material.
