DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240134222 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The display device described in the patent application includes multiple layers and patterns to enhance light-blocking capabilities and protect the light-emitting element. Here is a simplified explanation of the patent:
- The display device includes a light-emitting element covered by an encapsulation layer.
- An etch protection layer is placed on top of the encapsulation layer.
- A first light-blocking pattern made of a light-blocking material protrudes from the etch protection layer.
- An organic layer covers the first light-blocking pattern and defines a trench exposing the upper surface of the pattern.
- A second light-blocking pattern, made of a second light-blocking material, is placed in the trench, creating an inner space surrounded by the second light-blocking material.
Potential Applications: - OLED displays - LED screens - Electronic devices with display panels
Problems Solved: - Enhanced light-blocking capabilities - Protection of the light-emitting element - Improved display quality
Benefits: - Better contrast in displays - Increased durability of the display device - Enhanced visual experience for users
Potential Commercial Applications: - Consumer electronics - Automotive displays - Medical devices with screens
Possible Prior Art: - Previous patents related to light-blocking patterns in display devices
Unanswered Questions: 1. How does the etch protection layer improve the longevity of the display device? 2. What specific materials are used for the first and second light-blocking patterns, and how do they contribute to the overall functionality of the display device?
Original Abstract Submitted
a display device includes a light-emitting element, an encapsulation layer covering the light-emitting element, an etch protection layer on the encapsulation layer, a first light-blocking pattern protruding from an upper surface of the etch protection layer, and including a first light-blocking material, an organic layer covering the first light-blocking pattern, and defining a trench exposing an upper surface of the first light-blocking pattern, and a second light-blocking pattern in the trench, including a second light-blocking material, and defining an inner space surrounded by the second light-blocking material.
