DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18733124 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
The patent application describes a display device with a unique encapsulation layer design.
- The display device includes a substrate with an island portion and a connection portion.
- A display unit, with at least one display element, is located on the island portion.
- The display unit features an encapsulation layer comprising an inorganic layer and an organic layer.
- The display unit also includes organic insulating layers and an inorganic insulating layer with a protruding tip.
- The inorganic encapsulation layer runs alongside the tip of the inorganic insulating layer.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in the development of advanced display screens for electronic devices. - It may find applications in the manufacturing of high-resolution and durable displays for various industries.
Problems Solved: - The design addresses the need for improved protection and longevity of display elements. - It offers a solution for enhancing the performance and reliability of display devices.
Benefits: - Enhanced durability and protection for display elements. - Improved performance and longevity of display screens. - Potential for higher resolution and quality in display technology.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Display Technology for Enhanced Performance This technology could be utilized in the production of smartphones, tablets, televisions, and other electronic devices requiring high-quality display screens. The market implications include increased consumer interest in devices with superior display capabilities, potentially leading to higher sales and market share for manufacturers.
Questions about Display Device Technology: 1. How does the unique encapsulation layer design contribute to the longevity of display elements? The encapsulation layer provides enhanced protection for the display elements, shielding them from external factors that could degrade their performance over time.
2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this display technology in electronic devices? The cost implications would depend on factors such as the scale of production, materials used, and the complexity of the manufacturing process. However, the long-term benefits of improved performance and durability may outweigh the initial investment in implementing this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes: a substrate including an island portion and at least one connection portion extending from the island portion; a display unit on the island portion, the display unit including at least one display element; and an encapsulation layer covering the at least one display element and including an inorganic encapsulation layer and an organic encapsulation layer, wherein the display unit includes: at least one organic insulating layer; and an inorganic insulating layer on the at least one organic insulating layer, the inorganic insulating layer having a tip protruding beyond a side surface of the at least one organic insulating layer, in a direction parallel to an upper surface of the substrate, and the inorganic encapsulation layer is alongside the tip of the inorganic insulating layer.
