DISPLAY DEVICE, PHOTOMASK, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18520338 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE, PHOTOMASK, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF DISPLAY DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display device with a unique data fan-out design for improved electrical connections in the peripheral area.

  • The display device includes a substrate with a display area and a peripheral area.
  • It has a first wiring layer for gate signal transfer and a second wiring layer for data voltage transfer in the display area.
  • A data fan-out connects the second wiring layer to a data flexible printed circuit board in the peripheral area.
  • The data fan-out includes a zigzag portion and a straight portion, with the straight portion wider than the zigzag portion for better electrical conductivity.

Original Abstract Submitted

A display device includes: a substrate having a display area and a peripheral area; a first wiring layer to transfer a gate signal in the display area; a second wiring layer to transfer a data voltage in the display area; a data fan-out having a first data fan-out wire connected to the second wiring layer; and a data flexible printed circuit board electrically connected to the first data fan-out wire in the peripheral area. The first data fan-out wire includes a first zigzag portion having a zigzag shape and a first straight portion that extends from the first zigzag portion. A width of the first straight portion is larger than a width of the first zigzag portion.
