DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18374284 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
The abstract describes a display device with multiple layers including a base layer, circuit layer, anode, pixel defining layer, barrier wall, thin film encapsulation layer, and touch electrodes.
- The display device includes a base layer where the components are stacked.
- A circuit layer is disposed on the base layer to provide electrical connections.
- An anode is placed on the circuit layer to emit light.
- A pixel defining layer with a light emitting opening overlaps the anode.
- A barrier wall with a barrier opening overlaps the light emitting opening.
- A thin film encapsulation layer covers the anode, pixel defining layer, and barrier wall.
- Touch electrodes are positioned between the circuit layer and the thin film encapsulation layer.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various electronic display devices such as smartphones, tablets, and TVs. - It can also be applied in wearable technology like smartwatches and augmented reality glasses.
Problems Solved: - Provides a compact and efficient display solution with multiple layers for enhanced functionality. - Ensures proper light emission and touch sensitivity for user interaction.
Benefits: - Improved display quality and touch responsiveness. - Enhanced durability and protection with the thin film encapsulation layer.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Display Technology for Consumer Electronics This technology can revolutionize the consumer electronics market by offering innovative display solutions with improved performance and durability. It can cater to a wide range of products, from smartphones to wearable devices, enhancing user experience and setting new standards in the industry.
Questions about Display Device Technology: 1. How does the thin film encapsulation layer contribute to the durability of the display device? The thin film encapsulation layer provides protection to the underlying components, such as the anode and pixel defining layer, from external factors like moisture and physical damage, ensuring the longevity of the display device.
2. What advantages do touch electrodes offer in a display device? Touch electrodes enable interactive features on the display device, allowing users to engage with the screen through touch gestures, enhancing user experience and functionality.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes a base layer, a circuit layer disposed on the base layer, an anode disposed on the circuit layer, a pixel defining layer disposed on the circuit layer, where a light emitting opening is defined in the pixel defining layer to overlap the anode, a barrier wall disposed on the pixel defining layer, where a barrier opening is defined in the barrier wall to overlap the light emitting opening, a thin film encapsulation layer disposed over the circuit layer to cover the anode, the pixel defining layer, and the barrier wall, and a plurality of touch electrodes disposed between the circuit layer and the thin film encapsulation layer.
