LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE WITH DECORATIVE PATTERN DIRECTLY THEREON - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240027807 titled 'LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE WITH DECORATIVE PATTERN DIRECTLY THEREON
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a liquid crystal display (LCD) device consisting of two transparent substrates, namely the front substrate and the rear substrate. The front substrate is positioned on the observer side, and both substrates have transparent structured electrodes on their inner faces. These electrodes define shape pixels that can switch between two optical states. The electrodes are connected to a voltage source through a control circuit, and the substrates and electrodes are enclosed by a sealing frame. A liquid crystal composition is filled in the space between the substrates and the sealing frame. Additionally, there is a decorative pattern in direct contact with either the front or rear substrate.
- The LCD device consists of two transparent substrates, front and rear, with structured electrodes on their inner faces.
- The electrodes define shape pixels that can switch between two optical states.
- The electrodes are connected to a voltage source through a control circuit.
- The substrates and electrodes are enclosed by a sealing frame, forming a closed cell.
- A liquid crystal composition is filled in the space between the substrates and the sealing frame.
- A decorative pattern is in direct contact with either the front or rear substrate.
Potential Applications:
- Consumer electronics: This LCD device can be used in various consumer electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, televisions, and computer monitors.
- Automotive displays: The LCD device can be integrated into vehicle dashboards, infotainment systems, and rear-seat entertainment systems.
- Wearable technology: The compact and flexible nature of LCD devices makes them suitable for integration into wearable devices like smartwatches and augmented reality glasses.
Problems Solved:
- Display functionality: The LCD device provides a means of displaying visual information with the ability to switch between different optical states.
- Space-saving design: The compact structure of the LCD device allows for efficient use of space in electronic devices.
- Customization: The inclusion of a decorative pattern allows for personalization and aesthetic enhancement of the display.
Benefits:
- Versatile display capabilities: The LCD device can present a wide range of visual information, including text, images, and videos.
- Energy efficiency: LCD technology generally consumes less power compared to other display technologies, resulting in longer battery life for portable devices.
- Customizable design: The decorative pattern adds a unique and visually appealing element to the display, allowing for customization and branding opportunities.
Original Abstract Submitted
a liquid crystal display device, the display device including: two facing transparent substrates designated respectively front substrate and rear substrate, the front substrate being same disposed on the observer side, the front and rear substrates being provided on the inner faces thereof with transparent structured electrodes whereof the superposition defines shape pixels switchable between two optical states, the electrodes being connected to a voltage source via a control circuit, forming a cell closed by a sealing frame for receiving in the spaced delimited by the substrates and the sealing frame a liquid crystal composition; and a decorative pattern in direct contact with the front substrate or the rear substrate.
