DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240023377 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display device that includes various layers and electrodes to create a pixel structure for emitting light. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The display device consists of a substrate, a pixel electrode, a sacrificial layer, a pixel defining layer, a conductive layer, a light emitting material, and a common electrode.
  • The pixel electrode is located on the substrate.
  • The sacrificial layer is positioned adjacent to the outer boundary of the pixel electrode.
  • The pixel defining layer is in direct contact with the top surface of the sacrificial layer and defines a pixel opening that exposes a part of the pixel electrode.
  • The conductive layer covers the side surface of the pixel defining layer that defines the pixel opening.
  • The light emitting material is placed on the pixel electrode within the pixel opening.
  • The common electrode includes a first common electrode covering the top surface of the light emitting material in the pixel opening, and a second common electrode covering the top surface of the pixel defining layer.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This display device can be used in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, televisions, and computer monitors.
  • It can provide high-quality and energy-efficient displays with improved brightness and color accuracy.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The pixel defining layer and conductive layer help define and control the pixel structure, ensuring accurate and precise light emission.
  • The sacrificial layer allows for the creation of a pixel opening without damaging the pixel electrode.
  • The common electrode design improves the electrical conductivity and overall performance of the display device.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The display device offers enhanced image quality with vibrant colors and high contrast.
  • It provides energy efficiency, resulting in longer battery life for portable devices.
  • The pixel structure allows for faster response times and smoother motion display.
  • The design and arrangement of the layers and electrodes enable cost-effective manufacturing processes.
