DISPLAY MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18088313 titled 'DISPLAY MODULE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a display module that includes a thin film transistor (TFT) substrate and a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) connected to the TFT electrodes. The TFT layer includes sacrificial switching elements that absorb static electricity generated at the TFT layer.
- The display module includes a TFT substrate with a TFT layer and TFT electrodes.
- The TFT layer has sacrificial switching elements connected to the LEDs in parallel.
- The sacrificial switching elements absorb static electricity generated at the TFT layer.
Potential Applications
- Display modules for electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and televisions.
- Signage and advertising displays.
- Automotive displays and instrument clusters.
Problems Solved
- Static electricity generated at the TFT layer can cause damage to the display module.
- Absorbing static electricity helps protect the display module and improve its reliability.
Benefits
- Enhanced reliability of the display module by absorbing static electricity.
- Improved performance and longevity of the display module.
- Reduced risk of damage to the display module due to static electricity.
Original Abstract Submitted
