DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18116513 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a display device that includes a thin film transistor layer with a first metal layer on a substrate. A thin film transistor is disposed on the first metal layer, and first and second electrodes are placed in a display area on the thin film transistor layer. A plurality of light emitting elements are positioned between the first and second electrodes. Additionally, an alignment line is located in a non-display area adjacent to the display area and is electrically connected to the first and second electrodes. The alignment line consists of metal patterns spaced apart from each other in the first metal layer, and a bridge portion on the first metal layer that is electrically connected to the metal patterns.
- The display device includes a thin film transistor layer with a first metal layer and a thin film transistor on top.
- First and second electrodes are placed in the display area and extend in parallel.
- A plurality of light emitting elements are positioned between the first and second electrodes.
- An alignment line is located in a non-display area and is electrically connected to the first and second electrodes.
- The alignment line consists of metal patterns spaced apart from each other and a bridge portion that connects them.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This display device can be used in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and televisions.
- It can be utilized in wearable devices like smartwatches and augmented reality glasses.
- The technology can be applied in automotive displays and signage.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The alignment line helps in accurately aligning the first and second electrodes, ensuring proper functioning of the display device.
- The thin film transistor layer and first metal layer provide a compact and efficient design for the display device.
- The light emitting elements between the electrodes enable the generation of images or visual content.
Benefits of this technology:
- The display device offers improved image quality and brightness due to the arrangement of light emitting elements.
- The thin film transistor layer and first metal layer contribute to a thinner and lighter display device.
- The alignment line ensures precise alignment of electrodes, reducing the chances of display malfunctions.
