DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18150193 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display device that includes various components such as a substrate, thin-film transistor, planarization layer, light emitting electrodes, a bank, and a light emitting layer. The device also includes a transmissive area with a hole that penetrates through the bank and planarization layer.

• The display device includes a first substrate with a pixel area and a transmissive area.
• A thin-film transistor is present on the first substrate.
• A planarization layer is placed on top of the thin-film transistor.
• A first light emitting electrode is positioned on the planarization layer.
• A bank covers a portion of the first light emitting electrode.
• A light emitting layer is deposited on the first light emitting electrode.
• A second light emitting electrode is placed on top of the light emitting layer and the bank.
• The transmissive area of the device includes a hole that goes through the bank and planarization layer.
