DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18106997 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display device with a substrate, a light-emitting element, a touch layer, and an encapsulation layer. The touch layer includes touch electrodes and touch lines connected to the touch electrodes.
- The display device has an active area and a non-active area with different sections.
- The touch layer overlaps the active area and includes touch electrodes and touch lines.
- The touch lines have two parts, one overlapping the first area and the other overlapping the third area.
- The first touch line part includes two touch conductive layers, while the second touch line part includes only one touch conductive layer.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Touchscreen devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
- Interactive displays for public information systems, kiosks, and digital signage.
- Gaming consoles and virtual reality devices.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a simplified structure for a display device with touch functionality.
- Allows for efficient touch detection and response in specific areas of the display.
- Reduces the complexity and cost of manufacturing touch-enabled displays.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved user experience with accurate and responsive touch input.
- Cost-effective production of touch-enabled displays.
- Simplified design and manufacturing process for display devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device including a substrate having an active area and a non-active area having first to fourth areas, a light-emitting element on the substrate, a touch layer having a main touch area overlapping the active area, and an encapsulation layer between the light-emitting element and the touch layer, in which the first area is between the active area and the second area, the third area is between the second and fourth areas, the touch layer includes touch electrodes and touch lines connected to the touch electrodes, the touch lines include a first touch line part overlapping the first area and a second touch line part overlapping the third area, the first touch line part includes first and second touch conductive layers of the touch layer, and the second touch line part includes the first touch conductive layer and does not include the second touch conductive layer.
