Display Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18466455 titled 'Display Device
Simplified Explanation:
The patent application describes a display device with a unique structure to prevent cracks in the inorganic layer caused by bubbles forming due to step differences between components.
- The display device includes a first substrate, an inorganic layer, a planarization layer, a second substrate, a seal member, an adhesive layer, and a back cover.
- The second substrate is inset from the first substrate, allowing the first substrate to extend past the second substrate.
- The seal member covers a portion of the second substrate to prevent bubbles from forming.
- The adhesive layer bonds the back cover to the second substrate, further preventing cracks in the inorganic layer.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Unique structure to prevent cracks in the inorganic layer.
- Inset design of the second substrate to reduce step differences.
- Seal member and adhesive layer combination to block bubbles and enhance structural integrity.
Potential Applications:
- Display devices in electronic gadgets.
- Monitors and screens in various industries.
- Medical imaging equipment.
Problems Solved:
- Cracks in the inorganic layer due to bubbles.
- Structural instability caused by step differences.
- Enhanced durability and longevity of display devices.
Benefits:
- Improved display device reliability.
- Reduced maintenance and repair costs.
- Enhanced visual quality and performance.
Commercial Applications:
The technology can be applied in the manufacturing of smartphones, tablets, laptops, TVs, and other electronic devices. It can also be utilized in medical imaging equipment, automotive displays, and industrial monitors to enhance durability and performance.
Questions about Display Devices:
1. How does the unique structure of the display device prevent cracks in the inorganic layer? 2. What are the potential applications of this technology in various industries?
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes a first substrate, an inorganic layer disposed on the first substrate, a planarization layer disposed on the inorganic layer, a second substrate disposed on the planarization layer and has an end that is inset from an end of the first substrate such that the end of the first substrate extends past the end of the second substrate, a seal member covering a portion of the second substrate, an adhesive layer that is spaced apart from the seal member and on the second substrate, and a back cover on the adhesive layer and is bonded to the second substrate by the adhesive layer. Accordingly, bubbles generated due to the step difference between the seal member and the second substrate are blocked to reduce the crack generated in the inorganic layer.
