DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18311763 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The display device described in the patent application includes a substrate with a first through-hole in a first hole region. On top of the substrate, there is a panel layer that defines a second through-hole surrounding the first hole region in a plan view. The panel layer consists of a base layer with a groove surrounding a second hole region, which overlaps with the second through-hole. There is also an organic light emitting layer that includes a cut part overlapping with the groove and has an edge defining a portion of the second through-hole. Finally, an inorganic encapsulation layer is present on the organic light emitting layer, covering the groove, and also having an edge defining a portion of the second through-hole.
- The display device includes a substrate with a first through-hole and a panel layer with a second through-hole.
- The panel layer has a base layer with a groove and an organic light emitting layer with a cut part.
- The inorganic encapsulation layer covers the groove and has an edge defining a portion of the second through-hole.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Display devices such as televisions, computer monitors, and smartphones.
- Wearable devices with flexible displays.
- Automotive displays and instrument panels.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved display quality and brightness.
- Enhanced durability and resistance to damage.
- More efficient use of space in the display device.
Benefits of this technology:
- Higher resolution and sharper images.
- Increased flexibility and design possibilities.
- Longer lifespan and reduced maintenance requirements.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes: a substrate defining a first through-hole of a first hole region; and a panel layer on the substrate, and defining a second through-hole that surrounds the first hole region in a plan view, the panel layer including: a base layer defining a groove surrounding a second hole region in a plan view, the second hole region overlapping with the second through-hole; an organic light emitting layer including a cut part overlapping with the groove, and having an edge defining a portion of the second through-hole; and an inorganic encapsulation layer on the organic light emitting layer, and covering the groove, the inorganic encapsulation layer having an edge defining a portion of the second through-hole.
