DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18229558 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS
The patent application describes a display apparatus with a unique cover window design and protective film configuration.
- The cover window has a flat-surface area and a bent-surface area at a corner.
- The display panel on the cover window includes a front display area and a corner area overlapping the flat-surface and bent-surface areas.
- A first protective film covers the front display area, while a second protective film covers part of the corner area with lower tensile strength.
- The second protective film is designed to provide protection while allowing flexibility in the corner area.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices with display screens. - It may also be beneficial in automotive displays, wearable technology, and industrial equipment.
Problems Solved: - Addresses the vulnerability of display corners to damage or cracking. - Provides a solution for maintaining display integrity while allowing for flexibility in certain areas.
Benefits: - Enhanced durability and protection for display screens. - Improved design flexibility for manufacturers. - Potential cost savings in device maintenance and repair.
Commercial Applications: - This technology could be attractive to electronics manufacturers looking to improve the durability and design of their products. - It may also appeal to industries where display screens are exposed to potential damage.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the design of the cover window contribute to the overall durability of the display apparatus? 2. What are the specific advantages of having a second protective film with lower tensile strength in the corner area?
Frequently Updated Research: - Stay updated on advancements in protective film technology and display screen durability to enhance the performance of this display apparatus.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display apparatus includes: a cover window including a flat-surface area and a bent-surface area bent at a corner of the flat-surface area; a display panel arranged on a surface of the cover window and comprising a front display area and a corner area overlapping the flat-surface area and the bent-surface area, respectively; a first protective film, which is arranged on a surface of the display panel and overlapping the front display area; and a second protective film overlapping at least part of the corner area, where a tensile strength of the second protective film may be less than a tensile strength of the first protective film.
