Display Systems with Light-Emitting Diodes - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18180763 titled 'Display Systems with Light-Emitting Diodes
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device with one or more displays that use an array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to produce images for the user.
- The LEDs in the array have a common cathode, which is a conductive layer made of a reflective material.
- The cathode can be formed in a grid pattern with openings for the LEDs or around the edges of the array.
- The array can include LEDs of different colors arranged in a head-to-tail configuration, connected in series, or sharing a common cathode.
- The array can also have vertically stacked LEDs of three different colors.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device may have one or more displays that produce images for a user. The display may include an array of light-emitting diodes. Each light-emitting diode in the array of light-emitting diodes may include a plurality of vias. The vias may be arranged in an array of rows and columns. The light-emitting diodes in the array may share a common cathode. The common cathode may include a conductive layer formed from a reflective material. The conductive layer may be formed in a grid that defines a plurality of openings for the light-emitting diodes or may be formed around the periphery of the array. The array may include light-emitting diodes of two different colors in a head-to-tail arrangement, connected in series, or that share a common cathode. The array may include light-emitting diodes of three different colors that are vertically stacked.
