DISPLAY PANEL AND METHOD FOR FABRICATING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17943133 titled 'DISPLAY PANEL AND METHOD FOR FABRICATING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure is about a display panel and a method for fabricating it. The method involves several steps such as disposing a circuit array and connection lines on a support substrate, providing a sealing hole surrounding the display area, and disposing a sealing member on an encapsulation substrate.
- The method includes placing a circuit array and connection lines on a support substrate.
- The circuit array is located in the display area, while the connection lines are in a non-display area.
- A via layer is then added to the support substrate.
- The via layer is patterned to create a sealing hole surrounding the display area.
- A sealing member is placed around the display area on an encapsulation substrate.
- The circuit array and connection lines include an active layer overlapping a light shielding member.
- An etch stopper is added to the overlapping area between the sealing hole and the first connecting line part.
- The etch stopper is created by patterning a semiconductor material layer on the buffer layer.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Manufacturing of display panels for electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and televisions.
- Production of high-resolution and high-quality displays for various industries including entertainment, gaming, and advertising.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Simplifies the fabrication process of display panels by providing a method that efficiently places circuit arrays and connection lines on a support substrate.
- Ensures proper sealing of the display area by creating a sealing hole and adding a sealing member.
- Prevents damage to the circuit array and connection lines by using an etch stopper in the overlapping area.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved efficiency in the manufacturing process of display panels.
- Enhanced display quality and resolution due to the precise placement of circuit arrays and connection lines.
- Increased durability and longevity of the display panel through proper sealing and protection of the display area.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to a display panel and a method for fabricating the same. According to an embodiment, a method for fabricating a display panel, comprises disposing a circuit array and connection lines on the support substrate, the circuit array disposed in the display area, the connection lines disposed in a non-display area; disposing a via layer on the support substrate; providing a sealing hole surrounding the display area by patterning the via layer; disposing a sealing member surrounding the display area on an encapsulation substrate. In the disposing of the circuit array and the connection lines comprises disposing an active layer overlapping a light shielding member and disposing an etch stopper corresponding to at least a portion of an overlapping area between the sealing hole and the first connecting line part, by patterning a semiconductor material layer on the buffer layer.
