DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18225241 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display device with a substrate that includes a sub-display area and a main display area, a thin film transistor layer, a light emitting element layer, a thin film encapsulation layer, and planarization layers to fill through holes in the transmission area.

  • The display device includes a substrate with a sub-display area and a main display area.
  • A thin film transistor layer is disposed on both the main display area and the sub-display area.
  • A light emitting element layer is placed on the thin film transistor layer.
  • A thin film encapsulation layer covers the light emitting element layer.
  • Through holes are defined in the transmission area to overlap each other.
  • Planarization layers are used to fill the through holes in the transmission area.

Original Abstract Submitted

A display device includes a substrate including a sub-display area including a transmission area and a main display area adjacent to the sub-display area, a thin film transistor layer disposed on the main display area and the sub-display area, a light emitting element layer disposed on the thin film transistor layer, a thin film encapsulation layer disposed on the light emitting element layer, where first and second through holes are defined through the transmission area to overlap each other, a first planarization layer disposed under the substrate in the main display area and the transmission area to fill the second through hole, and a second planarization layer disposed on the thin film encapsulation layer in the main display area and the transmission area to fill the first through hole. In the transmission area, the first planarization layer and the second planarization layer are in contact with each other.
