DISPLAY DEVICE AND TOUCH DISPLAY PANEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18213144 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND TOUCH DISPLAY PANEL
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display device with a substrate that includes a bending area in the non-display area, where a first metal layer overlaps with a contact hole outside of the bending area. A first via layer, a second metal layer, and an inorganic layer are also included in the device.
- Substrate with display area and non-display area, including a bending area
- First metal layer overlapping with contact hole outside bending area
- First via layer as an organic layer with contact hole
- Second metal layer electrically connected to first metal layer
- Inorganic layer with one side end outside bending area and on contact hole
- Potential Applications
- Consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops - Automotive displays - Medical devices with display screens
- Problems Solved
- Improved flexibility and durability of display devices - Enhanced electrical connectivity in bending areas - Reduction of manufacturing complexity for flexible displays
- Benefits
- Increased flexibility and bendability of display devices - Enhanced reliability and longevity of flexible displays - Simplified manufacturing processes for flexible display technology
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes: a substrate including a display area at a front surface and a non-display area at a periphery of the display area, wherein the non-display area includes a bending area having at least a portion bent toward a rear surface; a first metal layer on the substrate, the first metal layer overlapping with a contact hole at an out side of the bending area in the non-display area; a first via layer as an organic layer, located over the first metal layer, the first via layer including the contact hole; a second metal layer on the first via layer, the second metal layer being electrically connected to the first metal layer in the contact hole; and an inorganic layer on the second metal layer, wherein at least a portion of one side end of the inorganic layer, which is in the non-display area, is at an outside of the bending area and an area on the contact hole.
