DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18106438 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display device with a display area consisting of two sections: a first section with multiple pixels and a second section with at least one pixel and a light-transmitting portion. The device also has a peripheral area surrounding the display area.
- The display device has a data line that is divided into two parts, with the light-transmitting portion in between.
- There is a conductive pattern in a different layer from the data line, which includes a bypass portion that goes around the second display area in a plan view.
- The conductive pattern is connected to the data line at both ends.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This display device can be used in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and televisions.
- It can provide a more visually appealing and immersive viewing experience with the combination of different display areas.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The conductive pattern allows for efficient electrical connections between the data line and the different portions of the display area.
- The bypass portion of the conductive pattern helps in routing the electrical signals around the second display area without interfering with its functionality.
Benefits of this technology:
- The display device offers improved flexibility in design and layout due to the separate display areas and the bypass portion.
- It ensures reliable and uninterrupted electrical connections between the data line and the display areas.
- The light-transmitting portion in the second display area allows for creative and innovative display designs.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes a display area which includes a first display area including a plurality of first pixels and a second display area including at least one second pixel and at least one light-transmitting portion, a peripheral area disposed around the display area, a data line including a first portion and a second portion spaced apart from each other in a predetermined direction with the light-transmitting portion therebetween, and a conductive pattern disposed at a different conductive layer from the data line. The conductive pattern includes a first pattern portion including a bypass portion that bypasses a periphery of the second display area in a plan view and disposed in the first display area, and the first pattern portion includes a first end electrically connected to the first portion of the data line and a second end electrically connected to the second portion of the data line.
