DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18204227 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a display device that includes a substrate with a display area and a sensor area. It also includes a circuit layer with multiple pixel circuits, display pixel electrodes overlapping the display area, sensor pixel electrodes overlapping the sensor area, and black patterns covering the boundary areas of the sensor pixel electrodes.
- The display device includes a substrate with a display area and a sensor area.
- A circuit layer is disposed on the substrate and contains multiple pixel circuits.
- Display pixel electrodes are placed on the circuit layer and overlap the display area.
- Sensor pixel electrodes are also on the circuit layer and overlap the sensor area.
- Black patterns are disposed on the circuit layer and cover the boundary areas of the sensor pixel electrodes, exposing at least a portion of the circuit layer.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Consumer electronics: This display device can be used in smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other portable devices.
- Automotive industry: It can be integrated into car dashboards, infotainment systems, and heads-up displays.
- Medical devices: The display device can be utilized in medical equipment such as monitors, diagnostic devices, and surgical tools.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved display quality: The black patterns help to enhance the contrast and reduce light leakage in the display area.
- Increased sensor accuracy: The separation of the sensor area from the display area prevents interference and improves the accuracy of touch or proximity sensors.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced visual experience: The display device provides better contrast and image quality.
- Improved touch or proximity sensing: The separation of the sensor area improves the accuracy and responsiveness of touch or proximity sensors.
- Versatile applications: The display device can be used in various industries and devices, offering flexibility and adaptability.
