DISPLAY PANEL AND DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17979387 titled 'DISPLAY PANEL AND DISPLAY DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a display panel with a substrate, encapsulation layer, insulating layer, upper pattern, and inorganic encapsulation layer. Here are the bullet points explaining the patent/innovation:

  • The display panel consists of a substrate divided into two areas, a first area, and a second area adjacent to it.
  • An encapsulation layer is present on the second area, which includes a lower pattern.
  • An insulating layer covers both the first and second areas, with an opening exposing a side surface of the lower pattern.
  • An upper pattern is placed on the insulating layer, protruding towards the center of the lower pattern and overlapping its side surface.
  • The lower pattern is in direct contact with an inorganic encapsulation layer.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This display panel technology can be used in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, televisions, and computer monitors.
  • It can be utilized in the manufacturing of OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) displays, LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels, and other types of flat panel displays.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The encapsulation layer and inorganic encapsulation layer provide protection to the lower pattern, preventing damage or degradation.
  • The overlapping tip of the upper pattern ensures a secure and stable connection with the lower pattern, enhancing the overall durability of the display panel.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The display panel design offers improved reliability and longevity due to the protective encapsulation layers.
  • The overlapping tip of the upper pattern enhances the structural integrity of the panel, reducing the risk of damage or malfunction.
  • The technology allows for the creation of high-quality displays with enhanced visual performance and longevity.


Original Abstract Submitted

A display panel includes a substrate including a first area and a second area which is adjacent to the first area, an encapsulation layer including a lower pattern in the second area, an insulating layer on the first area and the second area and defining an opening exposing a side surface of the lower pattern, an upper pattern on the insulating layer, protruding toward a center of the lower pattern and having a tip overlapping the side surface of the lower pattern, and an inorganic encapsulation layer in direct contact with the lower pattern.
