DISPLAY DEVICE AND A MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240032378 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND A MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a display device with a display panel and an input sensing unit. The display panel has a display region and a non-display region, while the input sensing unit has an active region and a peripheral region. The display panel includes a base layer, a circuit element layer with insulating layers and a voltage line, and a display element layer with a pixel defining film and a light-emitting element. The light-emitting element has a first electrode, a second electrode, and an organic layer between them. The organic layer overlaps both the display region and the non-display region, with a first opening formed in the second portion to connect the second electrode and the voltage line.
- The display device has a display panel with a display region and a non-display region.
- An input sensing unit is present on the display panel, with an active region and a peripheral region.
- The display panel includes a base layer, a circuit element layer, and a display element layer.
- The circuit element layer has insulating layers and a voltage line.
- The display element layer includes a pixel defining film and a light-emitting element.
- The light-emitting element consists of a first electrode, a second electrode, and an organic layer.
- The organic layer overlaps both the display region and the non-display region.
- A first opening is formed in the second portion of the organic layer.
- The second electrode and the voltage line are electrically connected through the first opening.
Potential Applications:
- This display device can be used in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, televisions, and computer monitors.
- It can provide enhanced visual experiences with its display panel and input sensing capabilities.
Problems Solved:
- The display device solves the problem of integrating an input sensing unit into a display panel, allowing for a more compact and efficient design.
- It also addresses the challenge of connecting the second electrode and the voltage line in a seamless and reliable manner.
Benefits:
- The display device offers a larger display region for content viewing and a separate non-display region for input sensing.
- The integration of the input sensing unit eliminates the need for additional external input devices.
- The electrical connection between the second electrode and the voltage line through the first opening ensures proper functioning of the light-emitting element.
