DISPLAY PANEL, AND DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18746010 titled 'DISPLAY PANEL, AND DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
The patent application describes a display panel with a glass substrate that has an opening area and a display area surrounding it. The panel includes a thin film transistor with a semiconductor layer and a gate electrode, a display element connected to the transistor, and a multi-layer structure with insulating layers and a thin-film encapsulation layer.
- The display panel features a thin film transistor with a semiconductor layer and a gate electrode.
- A multi-layer structure includes insulating layers and a thin-film encapsulation layer.
- The panel has an opening area and a display area, with a first groove between them.
- The lower insulating layer has a wider portion in the first groove compared to the insulating layer.
- The thin-film encapsulation layer includes an inorganic and an organic encapsulation layer.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in the manufacturing of high-quality display panels for electronic devices. - It can enhance the performance and durability of displays in smartphones, tablets, and other gadgets.
Problems Solved: - Improved protection and insulation of display elements. - Enhanced reliability and longevity of thin film transistors.
Benefits: - Increased display panel lifespan. - Better display quality and performance. - Reduced risk of damage to electronic devices.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Display Panel Technology for Electronic Devices This technology can be applied in the production of smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices with display screens. It can benefit manufacturers looking to improve the quality and durability of their products, leading to increased customer satisfaction and potentially higher sales.
Questions about Display Panel Technology: 1. How does the multi-layer structure contribute to the performance of the display panel? The multi-layer structure provides insulation and protection to the display elements, enhancing their reliability and longevity.
2. What are the key advantages of using a thin film transistor in display panels? Thin film transistors offer improved efficiency, flexibility, and performance compared to traditional transistors.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display panel including a glass substrate having an opening area, and a display area at least partially surrounding the opening area; a thin film transistor on the display area including a semiconductor layer and a gate electrode; a display element electrically connected to the thin film transistor; a multi-layer including an insulating layer and a lower insulating layer. The insulating layer is between the glass substrate and the display element and the lower insulating layer is between the glass substrate and the insulating layer; and a thin-film encapsulation layer covering the display element including an inorganic encapsulation layer and an organic encapsulation layer. The multi-layer includes a first groove between the opening area and the display area. A first width of a portion of the first groove in the lower insulating layer is greater than a second width of a portion of the first groove in the insulating layer.
