DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18198363 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display device with multiple display areas and pixel circuits. It includes a substrate with a shift area, a main display area, and an extended display area.
- The shift area contains a first pixel circuit and a dummy electrode connected to the first pixel circuit.
- The main display area contains a second pixel circuit and a third pixel circuit.
- The main display area also includes a first display element with a first pixel electrode connected to the first pixel circuit and a first emission layer.
- The main display area also includes a second display element with a second pixel electrode connected to the second pixel circuit and a second emission layer.
- The extended display area contains a third display element with a third pixel electrode connected to the third pixel circuit and a third emission layer.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Consumer electronics: This display device can be used in smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices to provide a larger and more versatile display area.
- Gaming: The extended display area can be utilized for gaming purposes, providing additional information or controls.
- Advertising: The extended display area can be used for displaying advertisements or promotional content.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Limited display area: The extended display area allows for more content to be displayed without compromising the main display area.
- Simplified circuit design: The use of dummy electrodes and separate pixel circuits simplifies the design and improves the efficiency of the display device.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced user experience: The extended display area provides additional functionality and flexibility for users.
- Improved display quality: The separate pixel circuits and emission layers ensure better image quality and color accuracy.
- Cost-effective design: The simplified circuit design reduces manufacturing costs and improves the overall affordability of the display device.
