DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240306459 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS
The display apparatus described in the patent application includes a substrate with multiple display units, each containing a thin film transistor, a passivation layer, and a display device. The display units are encapsulated by multiple encapsulation layers.
- The substrate has islands, connection units, and through holes for connecting the islands.
- The thin film transistors and passivation layers extend onto the connection units.
- The passivation layer includes a trench exposing the inorganic layer.
- The encapsulation layer contacts the exposed inorganic layer via the trench.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in the manufacturing of high-resolution displays for electronic devices. - It can be applied in the development of flexible and bendable displays for wearable technology.
Problems Solved: - Provides a solution for protecting thin film transistors and display devices in a display apparatus. - Ensures the durability and longevity of the display units by encapsulating them effectively.
Benefits: - Improved protection for display components. - Enhanced reliability and performance of display apparatus. - Potential for creating innovative display designs for various electronic devices.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Display Technology for Electronic Devices This technology can be utilized in the production of smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and other electronic devices requiring high-quality displays. The market implications include improved product competitiveness and enhanced user experience.
Questions about Display Apparatus Technology: 1. How does the encapsulation layer contribute to the longevity of the display units? - The encapsulation layer protects the display units from environmental factors, ensuring their durability and longevity.
2. What are the advantages of having islands and connection units on the substrate? - Islands and connection units help in organizing and connecting the display units effectively, contributing to the overall functionality of the display apparatus.
