DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18508241 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a display device with a substrate that has a bend in the non-display area, where moisture-sensitive components are located. A dummy pattern unit and an inspection circuit unit are positioned between the bend and the moisture-sensitive components to reduce the flow of moisture.
- Moisture-sensitive components such as a data driver and a pad unit are located in the non-display area of the substrate.
- The substrate has a bend in the non-display area, which could potentially expose the moisture-sensitive components to moisture.
- A dummy pattern unit is placed between the bend and the moisture-sensitive components to prevent moisture from reaching them.
- An inspection circuit unit is positioned between the dummy pattern unit and the moisture-sensitive components to further reduce the risk of moisture damage.
- The dummy pattern unit and the inspection circuit unit work together to protect the moisture-sensitive components from moisture-related issues.
Potential Applications:
This technology could be applied in various display devices, especially those that are exposed to moisture or humidity.
Problems Solved:
This technology addresses the issue of moisture damage to sensitive components in display devices, which can lead to malfunctions or failures.
Benefits:
The use of the dummy pattern unit and inspection circuit unit helps to protect moisture-sensitive components, increasing the reliability and longevity of the display device.
Commercial Applications:
This technology could be valuable in the manufacturing of smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices with displays that are susceptible to moisture damage.
Questions about Display Device Technology:
1. How does the dummy pattern unit help prevent moisture damage to sensitive components? 2. What are the potential implications of moisture damage to display devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device according to an embodiment includes a substrate including a display area and a non-display area. The substrate has a bend in the non-display area. Moisture-sensitive components such as a data driver and a pad unit are also in the non-display area. A dummy pattern unit is between the bend and the moisture-sensitive components, and an inspection circuit unit positioned is between the dummy pattern unit and the moisture-sensitive components. The dummy pattern unit and the inspection circuit may reduce a flow of moisture from the bend to the moisture sensitive components.
