FLEXIBLE DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18381050 titled 'FLEXIBLE DISPLAY DEVICE
The patent application discusses a flexible display device with sub-pixels, organic light emitting elements, color filters, a black matrix, spacers, and an overcoating layer.
- Sub-pixels are defined on a substrate.
- Organic light emitting elements are placed on the substrate to correspond to each sub-pixel.
- An encapsulation layer covers the organic light emitting elements.
- Color filters are positioned on the encapsulation layer to correspond to the sub-pixels.
- A black matrix is located between the color filters.
- Spacers are positioned between the color filters and placed on the black matrix.
- An overcoating layer covers the color filters, black matrix, and spacers.
Potential Applications: - Flexible electronic displays - Wearable technology - Foldable devices
Problems Solved: - Enhancing display quality - Improving flexibility of electronic devices
Benefits: - Increased durability - Enhanced visual experience - Versatile design options
Commercial Applications: Flexible display technology can revolutionize the consumer electronics market by enabling the development of innovative products such as foldable smartphones, smartwatches, and flexible displays for various industries.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this flexible display technology compare to traditional rigid displays in terms of durability and performance? 2. What are the potential environmental impacts of mass-producing flexible display devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
Discussed is a flexible display device including a substrate on which sub-pixels are defined, an organic light emitting element disposed on the substrate and disposed to correspond to each sub-pixel of the sub-pixels, an encapsulation layer on the organic light emitting element, a plurality of color filters disposed on the encapsulation layer to correspond to the sub-pixels, respectively, a black matrix disposed between the plurality of color filters, a plurality of spacers positioned between the plurality of color filters and disposed on the black matrix, and an overcoating layer disposed to cover the plurality of color filters, the black matrix, and the plurality of spacers. Each of the plurality of spacers has a first surface closest to the encapsulation layer and a second surface distal from the first surface, and a width of the second surface is greater than a width of the first surface.
