ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240188415 titled 'ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display device with a substrate that includes a display area and a folding area, a display structure on the substrate, a protection film overlapping the folding area, an adhesive member between the protection film and the substrate, antistatic layers with different compounds, and a supporting member with an opening overlapping the folding area.
- Substrate with display and folding areas
- Display structure on the substrate
- Protection film overlapping the folding area
- Adhesive member for adhesion
- First antistatic layer with a first compound
- Second antistatic layer with a second compound
- Supporting member with an opening
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in flexible display devices, foldable screens, and electronic devices requiring durable and protective screens.
Problems Solved
The innovation addresses the challenge of protecting foldable areas of display devices while maintaining functionality and durability.
Benefits
The display device offers enhanced protection for folding areas, improved antistatic properties, and increased durability for electronic devices.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be utilized in smartphones, tablets, laptops, e-readers, and other electronic devices with foldable or flexible display screens.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of protective films on display devices, but the specific combination of antistatic layers, adhesive members, and supporting members overlapping folding areas may be a novel aspect of this innovation.
What are the material compositions of the first and second antistatic layers?
The first antistatic layer includes a first compound, while the second antistatic layer includes a second compound. These compounds are designed to provide antistatic properties to the protection film and the display device.
Original Abstract Submitted
a display device includes: a substrate including a display area and a folding area positioned in a portion of the display area; a display structure disposed on the substrate; a protection film disposed on the substrate and overlapping the folding area; an adhesive member disposed between the protection film and the substrate, wherein the protection film adheres to the substrate by the adhesive member; a first antistatic layer disposed between the protection film and the adhesive member, wherein the first antistatic layer includes a first compound; a second antistatic layer disposed on a bottom surface of the protection film, wherein the second antistatic layer includes a second compound; and a supporting member disposed on the second antistatic layer, wherein the supporting member includes an opening overlapping the folding area.
