DISPLAY PANEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18395845 titled 'DISPLAY PANEL
The display panel described in the patent application includes a base layer that can bend with respect to a virtual axis, a driving element layer with a transistor, and a light emitting element layer with a first electrode, emission layers, and second electrodes. One of the second electrodes is connected to the transistor. The first electrode consists of first sub electrodes overlapping the emission layers and a connection pattern layer that connects the first sub electrodes. The connection pattern layer has a first connection pattern layer connecting the first sub electrodes in a first direction parallel to the virtual axis, and a second connection pattern layer connecting the first sub electrodes in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The first connection pattern layer has a higher density than the second connection pattern layer.
- The display panel has a base layer that can bend along a virtual axis.
- It includes a driving element layer with a transistor and a light emitting element layer with a first electrode, emission layers, and second electrodes.
- The first electrode has first sub electrodes overlapping the emission layers and a connection pattern layer connecting them.
- The connection pattern layer consists of a first connection pattern layer in a first direction and a second connection pattern layer in a second direction.
- The first connection pattern layer has a higher density than the second connection pattern layer.
Potential Applications: - Flexible displays for electronic devices - Wearable technology - Curved or bendable screens for various applications
Problems Solved: - Providing flexibility in display panels - Efficiently connecting electrodes in a bendable structure
Benefits: - Enhanced durability in flexible displays - Improved performance in curved screens - Versatile design options for electronic devices
Commercial Applications: Flexible displays for smartphones, smartwatches, and other portable devices could benefit from this technology. The ability to create curved or bendable screens opens up new possibilities for product design and user experience.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the density of the connection pattern layer affect the performance of the display panel? 2. What are the potential challenges in mass-producing display panels with bendable base layers?
Original Abstract Submitted
A display panel includes a base layer bendable with respect to a virtual axis, a driving element layer including a transistor, and a light emitting element layer including a first electrode, emission layers disposed on the first electrode, and second electrodes disposed on the emission layers. One of the second electrodes is electrically connected to the transistor. The first electrode includes first sub electrodes overlapping the emission layers and a connection pattern layer that electrically connects the first sub electrodes. The connection pattern layer includes a first connection pattern layer that electrically connects the first sub electrodes in a first direction parallel to the virtual axis, and a second connection pattern layer that electrically connects the first sub electrodes in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The first connection pattern layer has a density greater than that of the second connection pattern layer.
