DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18142355 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a display apparatus that includes an optical member, a substrate, a metal structure, and a supporter. The supporter is provided on the front surface of the substrate and includes a body, a circuit pattern portion, and a metal portion.
- The optical member is supported by the body of the supporter, which is aligned with a through-hole in the substrate.
- The substrate has a circuit pattern on its front surface, which is electrically connected to the circuit pattern portion on the body of the supporter.
- The metal structure is provided at the rear side of the substrate.
- The metal portion of the supporter extends from the bottom surface of the body into the through-hole in the substrate, and it is electrically connected to both the circuit pattern portion and the metal structure.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Display devices: The display apparatus can be used in various display devices such as smartphones, tablets, televisions, and computer monitors.
- Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) headsets: The display apparatus can be incorporated into VR and AR headsets to provide high-quality visual experiences.
- Automotive displays: The technology can be applied to the development of advanced display systems in vehicles, including instrument clusters and infotainment screens.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Electrical connection: The supporter allows for the electrical connection between the circuit pattern on the substrate and the circuit pattern portion on the body, ensuring proper functioning of the display apparatus.
- Structural support: The body of the supporter provides support to the optical member, ensuring its stability and preventing damage.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved display quality: The display apparatus ensures a reliable electrical connection, leading to enhanced display quality and performance.
- Compact design: The integration of the supporter and the metal structure at the rear side of the substrate allows for a more compact and space-efficient design of the display apparatus.
- Durability: The metal portion of the supporter provides additional structural support, increasing the durability and longevity of the display apparatus.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display apparatus includes: an optical member; a substrate provided at a rear side of the optical member, the substrate including a through-hole and a circuit pattern on a front surface of the substrate; a metal structure provided at a rear side of the substrate; and a supporter provided on the front surface of the substrate, wherein the supporter includes: a body supporting the optical member, the body being provided on the front surface of the substrate and aligned with the through-hole; a circuit pattern portion provided on the body and electrically connected to the circuit pattern on the front surface of the substrate; and a metal portion extending from a bottom surface of the body into the through-hole in a direction toward the metal structure, the metal portion being electrically connected to the circuit pattern portion and the metal structure.
