ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240231524 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE
The patent application describes an electronic device with a display unit that includes a hole area, an active area surrounding the hole area, and a peripheral area adjacent to the active area. A sensing unit is placed on the display unit, consisting of first and second sensing electrodes. The device also features a module hole through which the display unit and sensing unit overlap the hole area, as well as a crack detection circuit.
- The device includes a crack detection pattern in the hole area and surrounding the module hole, a crack detection line in the peripheral area, and connection lines in the peripheral area connecting the crack detection pattern and crack detection line.
- The connection lines intersect with a routing pattern of at least one of the first and second sensing electrodes on a plane.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices to detect cracks in the display. - It can also be applied in automotive displays to ensure the safety and functionality of the screens.
Problems Solved: - The device addresses the issue of detecting cracks in the display area, which can affect the usability and aesthetics of electronic devices.
Benefits: - Enhances the durability and longevity of electronic devices by detecting cracks early. - Improves user experience by ensuring the display remains intact and functional.
Commercial Applications: - "Crack Detection Circuit in Electronic Devices: Enhancing Display Durability and Safety" - This technology can be marketed to manufacturers of electronic devices looking to improve the quality and reliability of their products.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the crack detection circuit work to identify cracks in the display area? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for the consumer electronics industry?
