Display Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18523716 titled 'Display Device

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display device with a substrate that includes an active area, a non-active area, a bending area, and a pad area. The active area contains pixels with organic light emitting layers and thin-film transistors (TFTs). The bending area, located between the non-active area and the pad area, can be bent and includes signal and power lines made of the same material as the source or drain electrodes of the TFTs in the active area.

  • Substrate with active, non-active, bending, and pad areas
  • Active area with pixels containing organic light emitting layers and TFTs
  • Bending area capable of being bent, with signal and power lines made of the same material as TFT electrodes

Potential Applications

The technology could be used in flexible displays for smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices.

Problems Solved

The bending area allows for flexibility without compromising the functionality of the display.

Benefits

The display device offers a flexible design without sacrificing display quality or performance.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Flexible Display Technology for Next-Gen Devices"

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include patents or publications related to flexible display technologies or bendable electronic devices.

Unanswered Questions

How does the bending area impact the overall durability of the display device?

The article does not provide information on the durability of the display device when subjected to bending or flexing. Further research or testing may be needed to determine the long-term impact on durability.

What materials are used for the organic light emitting layers in the pixels?

The article does not specify the materials used for the organic light emitting layers in the pixels. Understanding the materials could provide insights into the display's performance and longevity.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is a display device including: a substrate including an active area, a non-active area, a bending area and a pad area; the active area including pixels to display images, each pixel including an organic light emitting layer and a thin-film transistor (TFT); the non-active area located between the active area and the bending area; and the bending area configured to be bent and located between the non-active area and the pad area, the bending area including a signal line and a power line that are made of a same material as a source electrode or a drain electrode of the TFT in the active area.
