ELECTRO-OPTICAL DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18419502 titled 'ELECTRO-OPTICAL DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS

The abstract describes an electro-optical device with a display region and a peripheral region, including pixel electrodes, a counter electrode, a seal member with UV-curable material, and an electro-optical layer that changes optical characteristics based on an electric field.

The device has a first substrate with pixel electrodes, a second substrate with a counter electrode, and a seal member containing UV-curable material in the peripheral region.
An electro-optical layer is surrounded by the first substrate, second substrate, and seal member, changing optical characteristics with an electric field.
One substrate includes a non-conductive region overlapping with the seal member, in the same layer as the pixel electrodes or counter electrode, without a conductive film.

Potential Applications: - Display technology for electronic devices - Medical imaging equipment - Automotive heads-up displays

Problems Solved: - Enhanced display quality - Improved durability and longevity of the device

Benefits: - Crisp and clear image display - Resistance to environmental factors - Long-lasting performance

Commercial Applications: - Consumer electronics industry - Medical equipment manufacturers - Automotive technology companies

Questions about Electro-Optical Devices: 1. How does the UV-curable material in the seal member contribute to the device's performance?

  - The UV-curable material in the seal member helps to enhance the durability and longevity of the device by providing a secure seal.

2. What are the key advantages of having a non-conductive region overlapping with the seal member in the device?

  - The non-conductive region overlapping with the seal member helps to prevent interference with the electrical components, ensuring optimal functionality.

Original Abstract Submitted

An electro-optical device is an display device provided with a display region for displaying an image and a peripheral region provided outside the display region, and includes a first substrate including a plurality of pixel electrodes provided in the display region, a second substrate including a counter electrode facing the plurality of pixel s, a seal member being provided in the peripheral region, and containing a UV-curable material, and an electro-optical layer being arranged in a region surrounded by at the first substrate, the second substrate, and the seal member and having optical characteristics that change in accordance with an electric field, wherein one substrate of the first substrate and the second substrate includes a non-conductive region that overlaps with the seal member in plan view, is in the same layer as the plurality of pixel electrodes or the counter electrode, and is not provided with a film having conductivity.
