DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240130182 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display device with a crack detection line for monitoring potential damage in the non-display area.
- The display device includes a display area and a non-display area surrounding it.
- An OLED is located in the display area on a base layer.
- A crack detection line is present in the non-display area, consisting of three lines - a first line along the first edge of the display area, a second line parallel to the first line, and a third line connecting the ends of the first two lines.
- The cross-sectional shape of the first line is inversely tapered in a direction perpendicular to the first direction.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and TVs to detect cracks and prevent further damage.
Problems Solved
The crack detection line helps in identifying cracks early on, allowing for timely repairs and maintenance to prevent complete device failure.
Benefits
- Early detection of cracks - Prevents further damage - Increases the lifespan of the display device
Potential Commercial Applications
"Crack Detection Line Technology for Display Devices: Enhancing Durability and Longevity"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to crack detection systems in electronic devices, but specific examples are not provided in the patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does the crack detection line communicate potential damage to the user or device?
The patent application does not specify how the crack detection line alerts the user or the device itself about potential damage.
Are there any limitations to the effectiveness of the crack detection line?
The patent application does not mention any limitations or potential challenges that may arise in implementing and utilizing the crack detection line technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
a display is provided. the display device includes a display area and a non-display area located around the display area; a base layer; an organic light-emitting diode (oled) that is located on the base layer in the display area; and a first crack detection line that is located on the base layer in the non-display area; wherein the first crack detection line comprises a first line that extends substantially in a first direction along a first edge of the display area, a second line that is separated from the first line and extends substantially in the first direction, and a third line that is connected to an end of the first line and an end of the second line, wherein a cross-sectional shape of the first line in a second direction crossing the first direction is inversely tapered.
