DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18177621 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a display device with a bending area and a passivation layer to protect the display panel. It also includes a polarization layer and an organic insulating layer to enhance the display quality.
- The display device has a bending area between two main areas.
- A passivation layer is present at the bending area to protect the display panel.
- A polarization layer is located at one of the main areas, spaced apart from the passivation layer.
- An organic insulating layer is positioned between the polarization layer and the display panel.
- The organic insulating layer has three parts: one overlapping the polarization layer, one overlapping the passivation layer, and one overlapping the spacing area between the polarization layer and the passivation layer.
Potential Applications
- This display device can be used in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and televisions.
- It can provide a flexible and durable display option for wearable devices like smartwatches and fitness trackers.
Problems Solved
- The passivation layer at the bending area helps protect the display panel from damage during bending or flexing.
- The organic insulating layer improves the display quality by reducing interference and enhancing the polarization effect.
Benefits
- The display device offers improved durability and flexibility, making it suitable for curved or foldable devices.
- The organic insulating layer enhances the display quality, resulting in better visibility and color reproduction.
- The passivation layer provides added protection to the display panel, increasing its lifespan.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed is a display device including a display panel including a first area, a second area, and a bending area between the first area and the second area, a passivation layer at the bending area, and at a part of the first area adjacent to the bending area, a polarization layer at the first area, and spaced apart from the passivation layer, and an organic insulating layer between the polarization layer and the display panel, having an end portion at the first area of the display panel, and including a first part that overlaps the polarization layer, a second part that overlaps the passivation layer at the first area, and a third part between the first part and the second part, and overlapping an entirety of a spacing area between the polarization layer and the passivation layer.
