DISPLAY PANEL AND A DISPLAY APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18432548 titled 'DISPLAY PANEL AND A DISPLAY APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The display panel described in the patent application includes a substrate with different areas, a structure with pixel electrodes and organic material layers, and grooves separating the layers. A specific groove in the third area has a multi-layered film with an inorganic material layer and a step with a higher elevation than the lower layer's surface.
- Structure with pixel electrodes and organic material layers:
- The display panel includes a structure in the second area with a pixel electrode, an opposite electrode, an intermediate layer, and at least one organic material layer. - This structure is essential for the functioning of the display panel, allowing for the display of images or information.
- Grooves separating layers:
- The display panel has a plurality of grooves in the third area, separating the organic material layer and the opposite electrode. - These grooves help prevent interference between the different layers of the display panel, ensuring proper functioning and image quality.
- Potential applications of this technology:
- This technology can be used in various display panels, such as LCD screens, OLED displays, or touchscreens. - It can also be applied in electronic devices like smartphones, tablets, laptops, and TVs.
- Problems solved by this technology:
- The technology helps improve the performance and longevity of display panels by preventing interference between layers. - It enhances image quality and overall user experience by ensuring proper functioning of the display panel.
- Benefits of this technology:
- Improved display quality and resolution. - Longer lifespan of display panels. - Enhanced user experience with electronic devices.
- Potential commercial applications of this technology:
- Manufacturers of electronic devices can incorporate this technology into their products to enhance display performance. - Display panel companies can use this technology to develop advanced and high-quality screens for various applications.
- Possible prior art:
- Prior art related to display panel structures, organic material layers, and grooves separating layers in electronic devices.
Questions:
1. How does the specific groove with a multi-layered film contribute to the overall performance of the display panel? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in mass production of electronic devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
A display panel includes: a substrate including a first area, a second area, and a third area between the first area and the second area; a first structure located in the second area and including a pixel electrode, an opposite electrode, an intermediate layer between the pixel electrode and the opposite electrode, and at least one organic material layer; and a plurality of grooves located in the third area and separating the at least one organic material layer and the opposite electrode, wherein a first groove of the plurality of grooves is provided in a multi-layered film including a lower layer and an upper layer, wherein the upper layer includes an inorganic material layer and a first step adjacent to the first groove, the first step having an elevation higher than an upper surface of the lower layer.
