DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18092442 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display device with a substrate that has a main region and a sub-region.

  • The main region includes a display area with sub-pixel areas that emit light for displaying images, as well as a non-display area surrounding the display area.
  • The sub-region protrudes from one side of the main region and has a bending area that can be bent.
  • The device also includes a thin film transistor layer, a scan driver that sends scan signals to the transistor layer, and a light emitting element layer.
  • Additionally, there is a sensor electrode layer with a first and second sensor insulating layer, control signal lines in the non-display area and a first sub-region, and control connection lines in the bending area.
  • The control connection lines are electrically connected to the control signal lines through first control line contact holes.
  • A first hole protection layer is placed between the second sensor insulating layer and the control connection lines, corresponding to the first control line contact holes.


Original Abstract Submitted

A display device is disclosed. The display device comprises a substrate comprising a main region and a sub-region, the main region comprising a display area and a non-display area, the display area in which a plurality of sub-pixel areas configured to emit light for displaying an image are arranged, the non-display area disposed around the display area, and the sub-region protruding from one side of the main region and comprising a bending area which is deformed to be bent, a thin film transistor layer disposed on the substrate, a scan driver configured to output a scan signal to scan lines of the thin film transistor layer, a light emitting element layer disposed on the thin film transistor layer, a sensor electrode layer comprising a first sensor insulating layer and a second sensor insulating layer, control signal lines electrically connected to the scan driver and disposed in the non-display area and a first sub-region of the sub-region, control connection lines disposed in the bending area and electrically connected to the control signal lines through first control line contact holes, respectively, and a first hole protection layer disposed between the second sensor insulating layer and the control connection lines and corresponding to the first control line contact holes.
