ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18489351 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
The abstract describes an electronic apparatus with a display panel containing pixel units and an opening area, along with a sound module comprising piezoelectric elements overlapping the opening area.
- Pixel units in the display panel consist of transistors and light emitting elements connected to each other.
- Piezoelectric elements are positioned in the display area along two perpendicular directions.
- The innovation involves integrating sound modules with pixel units in a display panel.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. - It could enhance the user experience by providing audio feedback directly from the display panel.
Problems Solved: - Traditional display panels do not have integrated sound modules, requiring separate components for audio output. - This innovation streamlines the design of electronic devices by combining display and sound functionalities.
Benefits: - Simplifies the manufacturing process of electronic devices. - Reduces the need for additional components, leading to cost savings and potentially thinner devices.
Commercial Applications: Title: Integrated Display Panel with Sound Module for Enhanced User Experience This technology could be valuable for consumer electronics companies looking to differentiate their products with integrated audio capabilities in display panels.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the integration of sound modules in display panels impact the overall design of electronic devices? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology on a large scale in consumer electronics?
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic apparatus includes a display panel including pixel units arranged in a display area and an opening area defined between the pixel units, and a sound module including piezoelectric elements overlapping the opening area in the display area, wherein each of the pixel units includes a transistor and a light emitting element electrically connected to each other, wherein the piezoelectric elements are arranged along a first direction and a second direction crossing the first direction within the display area.
