DISPLAY PANEL AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18537612 titled 'DISPLAY PANEL AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The display panel described in the patent application includes a substrate with two display areas, first and second, where the second area is partially surrounded by the first area. It also features first display devices in the first area, second display devices in the second area, a first scan line extending from the first area into the second area, a first sub scan line in the second area connected to the first scan line via a bridge line, and a bottom metal layer between the second display devices and the substrate in the second area.

  • The display panel has a unique layout with two distinct display areas on the substrate.
  • The first scan line extends from the first display area into the second display area, allowing for seamless integration between the two areas.
  • The bottom metal layer in the second display area does not overlap the first scan line, ensuring proper functionality of the display devices.

Original Abstract Submitted

A display panel includes a substrate on which a first display area and a second display area are defined, where the second display area is at least partially surrounded by the first display area and including a sub display and transmission areas, first display devices on the substrate in the first display area, second display devices on the substrate in the sub display area, a first scan line extending from the first display area into the second display area across one side of the second display area, a first sub scan line in the second display area and including a first end facing the first scan line, a first bridge line electrically connecting the first scan line to the first sub scan line, and a bottom metal layer disposed between the second display devices and the substrate in the second display area. The bottom metal layer does not overlap the first scan line when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the substrate.
