DISPLAY PANEL AND DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18432732 titled 'DISPLAY PANEL AND DISPLAY APPARATUS
The abstract describes a display panel with unique features such as corner light-emitting elements and pixel circuits connected through multiple layers of connection wirings.
- The display panel includes a front display area, first and second corner display areas, corner light-emitting elements, pixel circuits, driving circuits, and connection wirings.
- The corner light-emitting elements are arranged in the second corner display area, while the pixel circuits are in the first corner display area.
- Driving circuits in the second corner display area provide signals to the pixel circuits.
- Connection wirings connect the pixel circuits and corner light-emitting elements, extending from the first corner display area to the second corner display area.
- The connection wirings consist of first and second layers, with one pixel circuit connected to multiple corner light-emitting elements.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in curved displays or unique-shaped screens. - It may find applications in automotive displays or wearable technology.
Problems Solved: - Enables the creation of displays with non-traditional shapes. - Improves the efficiency of connecting pixel circuits and light-emitting elements in corner areas.
Benefits: - Enhanced design possibilities for display panels. - Improved performance and connectivity in unconventional display shapes.
Commercial Applications: - "Innovative Display Panel Technology for Curved Screens and Unique Shapes"
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this display panel technology compare to traditional flat displays?
This technology allows for the creation of displays with non-traditional shapes, offering unique design possibilities.
2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in commercial products?
The integration of multiple layers of connection wirings and specialized components may increase production costs and complexity.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display panel and a display apparatus are disclosed. The display panel includes: a substrate including a front display area, a first corner display area extending from a corner of the front display area, and a second corner display area extending from the first corner display area; a plurality of corner light-emitting elements arranged in the second corner display area; a plurality of pixel circuits arranged in the first corner display area; driving circuits arranged in the second corner display area and configured to provide driving signals to the plurality of pixel circuits; and a plurality of connection wirings connecting the plurality of pixel circuits and the plurality of corner light-emitting elements to each other and extending from the first corner display area to the second corner display area, wherein the plurality of connection wirings include first connection wirings disposed on a first layer and second connection wirings disposed on a second layer, and one of the plurality of pixel circuits is connected to at least two of the plurality of corner light-emitting elements.
