DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18336192 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a display device that includes a display panel with two different types of unit pixels arranged in different display areas. The first unit pixel consists of red, green, and blue pixels, while the second unit pixel includes red, green, blue pixels, and an optical sensing pixel. The optical sensing pixel has a transistor, electrodes, and layers for optical sensing and emission.
- The display device has a display panel with two types of unit pixels: first unit pixels and second unit pixels.
- The first unit pixel is repeated in the first display area, while the second unit pixel is repeated in the second display area.
- The first unit pixel consists of red, green, and blue pixels, while the second unit pixel includes red, green, blue pixels, and an optical sensing pixel.
- The optical sensing pixel has a transistor, electrodes, and layers for optical sensing and emission.
- The planar area of the optical sensing layer is larger than the planar area of the first emission layer.
Potential Applications:
- This display device can be used in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, televisions, and computer monitors.
- The optical sensing pixel can enable additional functionality such as ambient light sensing, proximity sensing, or even fingerprint sensing.
Problems Solved:
- The inclusion of the optical sensing pixel eliminates the need for separate sensors for functions like ambient light sensing or proximity sensing.
- The arrangement of different unit pixels allows for more versatile display capabilities and potentially improved image quality.
Benefits:
- The display device offers enhanced functionality by integrating an optical sensing pixel within the display panel.
- The arrangement of different unit pixels provides flexibility in displaying content and potentially improves the overall visual experience.
- The larger planar area of the optical sensing layer may enhance the accuracy and sensitivity of optical sensing functions.
