DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18429358 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
The abstract describes a display device with multiple layers, including a base layer, circuit element layer, display element layer, thin film encapsulation layer, and input sensing layer.
- The base layer contains a display area (DA) and a non-DA, with a circuit element layer on top, including a power supply electrode (PSE) and a shielding electrode connected to the PSE.
- The display element layer includes a light emitting element with a first electrode, a light emitting unit, and a second electrode, connected to the PSE through a connection electrode with first through-holes.
- The thin film encapsulation layer overlaps the DA and includes an organic layer, while the input sensing layer on top features sensing electrodes and sensing signal lines connected to the electrodes, overlapping the connection electrode.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various display devices such as smartphones, tablets, and TVs. - It can also be applied in wearable technology like smartwatches and augmented reality glasses.
Problems Solved: - The display device provides improved display quality and touch sensitivity. - It offers a more efficient and compact design compared to traditional display technologies.
Benefits: - Enhanced display performance with better image quality and responsiveness. - Increased durability and longevity of the display device. - Potential for thinner and lighter devices due to the compact design.
Commercial Applications: - The technology can be utilized by consumer electronics manufacturers to enhance their product offerings. - It can also be integrated into automotive displays, medical devices, and industrial equipment for improved user interfaces.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the input sensing layer improve the user experience of the display device? 2. What sets this display technology apart from existing options on the market?
Frequently Updated Research: - Stay updated on advancements in display technology, particularly in the areas of OLEDs and touch-sensitive displays.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes: a base layer including a display area (DA) and a non-DA; a circuit element layer on the base layer and including: a power supply electrode (PSE) overlapping the non-DA, circuit elements, and a shielding electrode connected to the PSE and overlapping some of the circuit elements; a display element layer on the circuit element layer and including: a light emitting element including a first electrode, a light emitting unit, and a second electrode, and a connection electrode connecting the second electrode to the PSE and including first through-holes; a thin film encapsulation layer (TFEL) on the display element layer and including an organic layer overlapping the DA; and an input sensing layer on the TFEL and including sensing electrodes and sensing signal lines connected to the sensing electrodes. The sensing signal lines overlap the connection electrode. Some of the first through-holes overlap the shielding electrode.
