DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18423730 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
The display device described in the patent application includes a substrate with a display area for pixels and a non-display area around it, along with crack detection lines, dams, and a common voltage line.
- The first crack detection lines are in the non-display area to detect cracks.
- A first dam separates the crack detection lines from the display area.
- A second dam with sub-layers is positioned between the first dam and the crack detection lines.
- The common voltage line in the non-display area supplies voltage to the pixels and has a concave part facing the crack detection lines.
- A second crack detection line is connected to the first crack detection lines and is positioned between them and the display area.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various display devices such as smartphones, tablets, and TVs. - It can also be applied in automotive displays, medical devices, and industrial equipment.
Problems Solved: - Helps in early detection of cracks in the display area. - Improves the durability and reliability of display devices.
Benefits: - Enhances the overall lifespan of display devices. - Reduces the risk of display malfunctions due to cracks. - Improves user experience by ensuring a clear and uninterrupted display.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Display Device Technology for Enhanced Durability This technology can be utilized by display manufacturers to create more robust and long-lasting products, catering to a wide range of industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, healthcare, and more.
Questions about Display Device Technology: 1. How does the placement of crack detection lines contribute to the durability of the display device? - The crack detection lines in the non-display area help in early detection of cracks, preventing further damage to the display area. 2. What is the significance of the concave part in the common voltage line facing the crack detection lines? - The concave part helps in optimizing the distribution of voltage to the pixels, ensuring consistent performance and reducing the risk of damage.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes: a substrate including a display area where pixels are arranged and a non-display area positioned around the display area; first crack detection lines disposed in the non-display area; a first dam positioned between the first crack detection lines and the display area; a second dam between the first dam and the first crack detection lines and including sub-layers; a common voltage line disposed in the non-display area, and which provides a common voltage to the pixels, and includes a concave part defined at an edge of the common voltage line facing the first crack detection lines; a second crack detection line electrically connected to the first crack detection lines, positioned between the first crack detection lines and the display area, and including a first line part and a first connection part contacting the first line part through a first contact hole overlapping one of the sub-layers.
