DISPLAY APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18214393 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display apparatus with a display panel that has a central area, a corner area, and a middle area between them. The display panel is covered by an upper organic layer.

  • The corner area of the display panel includes two extension areas, one extending away from the central area and the other spaced apart from it.
  • The upper organic layer also has two extension areas that overlap with the corresponding extension areas of the corner area.

Potential Applications:

  • This display apparatus can be used in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, televisions, and computer monitors.
  • It can enhance the visual experience by providing a larger display area without increasing the overall size of the device.

Problems Solved:

  • The corner areas of display panels are often underutilized and can result in wasted space.
  • This innovation solves the problem by extending the display area into the corner areas, making better use of the available space.

Benefits:

  • The extended display area provides more screen real estate for content, allowing for better multitasking, viewing of larger images or videos, and improved user experience.
  • By utilizing the corner areas, the overall size of the device can be kept compact while still offering a larger display.
  • The overlapping upper organic layer ensures seamless integration of the extended display areas, maintaining a consistent visual appearance.
