Display Module and Display Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18016679 titled 'Display Module and Display Device
The abstract of the patent application describes a display module with a display substrate and a flexible circuit board bonded to the display substrate. The flexible circuit board is bent to a side of the display substrate away from the display side, with a bent region and non-bent regions on both sides of the bent region. The bent region includes a bending axis along which the flexible circuit board is bent, and one or more openings at the position of the bending axis. The bent region also includes at least one wiring layer with multiple traces extending to the non-bent regions, without overlapping with the openings.
