DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18483446 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The display device described in the patent application includes multiple layers and patterns to enhance light-blocking capabilities and protect the light-emitting element. Here are the key points of the innovation:
- Light-emitting element covered by an encapsulation layer
- Etch protection layer on top of the encapsulation layer
- First light-blocking pattern with a light-blocking material protruding from the etch protection layer
- Organic layer covering the first light-blocking pattern and defining a trench
- Second light-blocking pattern in the trench with a second light-blocking material
- Potential Applications:**
This technology could be applied in various display devices such as OLED screens, LED displays, and other electronic screens where precise light-blocking is required.
- Problems Solved:**
1. Improved light-blocking capabilities to enhance display quality 2. Protection of the light-emitting element from external factors
- Benefits:**
1. Enhanced display performance with better contrast and brightness 2. Increased durability and longevity of the display device
- Potential Commercial Applications:**
The technology could be utilized in smartphones, tablets, TVs, monitors, and other electronic devices with display screens to improve visual quality and longevity.
- Possible Prior Art:**
Prior art may include patents or publications related to light-blocking layers and patterns in display devices, encapsulation techniques for light-emitting elements, and protection layers for electronic components.
- Unanswered Questions:**
1. How does the organic layer contribute to the overall functionality of the display device? 2. Are there any specific manufacturing processes required to implement this technology effectively?
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes a light-emitting element, an encapsulation layer covering the light-emitting element, an etch protection layer on the encapsulation layer, a first light-blocking pattern protruding from an upper surface of the etch protection layer, and including a first light-blocking material, an organic layer covering the first light-blocking pattern, and defining a trench exposing an upper surface of the first light-blocking pattern, and a second light-blocking pattern in the trench, including a second light-blocking material, and defining an inner space surrounded by the second light-blocking material.
