DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18239171 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display device with a bending region that includes a light emitting diode (LED) and various layers for protection and control of light.

  • The display panel has a display area and a bending region.
  • A light emitting diode (LED) is placed in the display area.
  • An encapsulation layer covers and protects the LED.
  • A light-control pattern is applied on top of the encapsulation layer.
  • The light-control pattern includes a passivation layer and a flattening layer.
  • The flattening layer extends from the display area to the bending region.
  • A bending protection layer is placed in the bending region.
  • The bending protection layer is made up of a portion of the flattening layer.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Flexible display devices that can be bent or curved without damaging the LED.
  • Curved or foldable smartphones, tablets, or wearable devices.
  • Flexible electronic signage or advertising displays.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Protects the LED from damage when the display device is bent or curved.
  • Ensures consistent and controlled light output in the bending region.
  • Provides a durable and reliable display solution for flexible devices.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enables the creation of flexible display devices with improved durability.
  • Allows for innovative designs and form factors in electronic devices.
  • Enhances the user experience by providing bendable and foldable displays.


Original Abstract Submitted

A display device includes a display panel having a display area and a bending region. The display panel includes a light emitting diode disposed in the display area. An encapsulation layer encapsulates the light emitting diode. A light-control pattern is disposed on the encapsulation layer. The light-control pattern includes a passivation layer and a flattening layer. The flattening layer extends from the display area to the bending region. A bending protection layer is disposed in the bending region. The bending protection layer is composed of a portion of the flattening layer in the bending region.
