DISPLAY MODULE AND DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17911247 titled 'DISPLAY MODULE AND DISPLAY DEVICE

The abstract describes a display module and device with a flexible display panel that includes an active area and a bending area at the periphery. The supporting layer is located on one side of the active area, away from the light-emitting side of the panel, and includes an isolation groove close to the bending area for structural support.

The display module features a flexible display panel with an active area and a bending area at the periphery.
A supporting layer is located on one side of the active area, away from the light-emitting side of the panel.
The supporting layer includes an isolation groove close to the bending area for structural support.
The isolation groove extends through the supporting layer in a perpendicular direction to the thickness direction and bending axis of the bending area.

Potential Applications: - Flexible electronic devices - Wearable technology - Foldable displays

Problems Solved: - Structural support for flexible displays - Enhanced durability of flexible electronic devices

Benefits: - Improved flexibility and durability of displays - Enables new form factors for electronic devices

Commercial Applications: Flexible displays for smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and other portable electronic devices. Market implications include increased consumer interest in innovative display technologies.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the isolation groove in the supporting layer contribute to the durability of the flexible display panel? 2. What are the potential challenges in mass-producing devices with flexible displays?

Original Abstract Submitted

A display module and a display device. The display module includes: a flexible display panel (), wherein the flexible display panel () includes an active area (AA) and a bending area (BB) located at a periphery of the active area (AA); a supporting layer () disposed on one side of the active area (AA), and the supporting layer () is disposed away from a light-emitting side of the flexible display panel (); wherein, the supporting layer () is provided with an isolation groove () extending through the supporting layer () in a first direction, and the isolation groove () is disposed close to the bending area (BB) for isolating the supporting layer () on both sides of the isolation groove (), and the first direction is perpendicular to a thickness direction of the supporting layer () and a bending axis (X) of the bending area (BB).
