DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240130206 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The display device described in the patent application includes a substrate with a light emitting area and a non-light emitting area, a light emitting element, an encapsulation layer, light blocking layers, openings in the second light blocking layer, and a color filter layer.

  • The substrate has a light emitting area and a non-light emitting area.
  • The light emitting element is placed in the light emitting area on the substrate.
  • An encapsulation layer covers the light emitting element.
  • A first light blocking layer is in the non-light emitting area, while a second light blocking layer is in the light emitting area with openings.
  • The color filter layer is on top of the light blocking layers.

Potential Applications

The technology described in this patent application could be used in:

  • OLED displays
  • LED displays
  • Microdisplays

Problems Solved

This technology helps to:

  • Improve display quality by reducing light leakage
  • Enhance color accuracy
  • Increase contrast ratio

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Better image quality
  • Energy efficiency
  • Longer display lifespan

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Smartphones
  • TVs
  • Monitors

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be:

  • Light blocking layers in display devices
  • Color filter layers in display devices

Unanswered Questions

1. How does the presence of the second light blocking layer with openings affect the overall display performance? 2. Are there any specific manufacturing processes required for implementing this technology in commercial displays?


Original Abstract Submitted

a display device includes: a substrate including a light emitting area and a non-light emitting area adjacent to the light emitting area, a light emitting element disposed in the light emitting area on the substrate, an encapsulation layer disposed on the light emitting element, a first light blocking layer disposed in the non-light emitting area on the encapsulation layer, a second light blocking layer disposed in the light emitting area on the encapsulation layer, where the second light blocking layer includes a same material as the first light blocking layer, and a plurality of openings is defined through the second light blocking layer, and a color filter layer disposed on the first light blocking layer and the second light blocking layer.
