DISPLAY APPARATUS INCLUDING DISPLAY MODULE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17745458 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS INCLUDING DISPLAY MODULE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display module that includes a substrate, a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) layer, inorganic light emitting diodes, an anisotropic conductive layer, a front cover, and a side cover.

  • The substrate has a mounting surface and a side surface.
  • The TFT layer is provided on the mounting surface of the substrate.
  • The inorganic light emitting diodes are mounted on the mounting surface of the substrate.
  • The anisotropic conductive layer is provided on the TFT layer and electrically connects it to the inorganic light emitting diodes.
  • The front cover covers the mounting surface.
  • The side cover surrounds the side surface of the substrate.
  • The side end of the front cover extends to a region outside the mounting surface.
  • The side cover is bonded to the lower surface of the front cover and to the side surface of the substrate in the region outside the mounting surface.
  • The side end of the anisotropic conductive layer is provided on the inner side with respect to the side end of the front cover.

Potential Applications

  • Display modules for electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and televisions.
  • Signage and advertising displays.
  • Automotive displays.

Problems Solved

Original Abstract Submitted

A display module includes a substrate including a mounting surface and a side surface; a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) layer provided on the mounting surface of the substrate; a plurality of inorganic light emitting diodes mounted on the mounting surface of the substrate; an anisotropic conductive layer provided on an upper surface of the TFT layer and electrically connecting the TFT layer to the plurality of inorganic light emitting diodes; a front cover covering the mounting surface; and a side cover surrounding the side surface. A side end of the front cover extends to a region outside the mounting surface, the side cover is bonded to a lower surface of the front cover and to the side surface of the substrate which correspond to the region outside of the mounting surface, and a side end of the anisotropic conductive layer is provided on an inner side with respect to the side end of the front cover.
