DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18505557 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS
The patent application describes a display apparatus that is both flexible and robust, with a substrate divided into two areas containing different pixel configurations and separation layers.
- The substrate has a first area with multiple first pixels and first separation areas, and a second area with multiple second pixels.
- A first insulating layer on the substrate has first and second trenches corresponding to boundaries between pixel areas and separation areas.
- First separation layers are buried in the first trenches, while second separation layers are buried in the second trenches.
Potential Applications: - Flexible displays for electronic devices - Robust screens for outdoor use - Wearable technology such as smart clothing
Problems Solved: - Providing flexibility without sacrificing durability - Enhancing display quality and resolution - Improving overall device performance
Benefits: - Increased versatility in design and functionality - Extended lifespan of display technology - Enhanced user experience with innovative screen capabilities
Commercial Applications: Title: Flexible Display Technology for Next-Gen Devices This technology can be utilized in smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and other electronic devices to offer consumers a more durable and adaptable display solution. The market implications include increased consumer interest in devices with flexible and robust screens, potentially leading to higher sales and market share for companies implementing this technology.
Questions about Flexible Display Technology: 1. How does this technology compare to existing flexible display solutions on the market? This technology offers a unique combination of flexibility and robustness, setting it apart from traditional flexible displays that may be more prone to damage.
2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this display technology in consumer electronics? The cost of production may initially be higher due to the innovative nature of the technology, but as mass production scales up, prices are likely to decrease, making it more accessible to consumers.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display apparatus that is flexible and robust includes a substrate defining a first area and a second area, the first area including a plurality of first pixel and a plurality of first separation areas between first pixel areas adjacent to each other in the first direction, the second area including a plurality of second pixel areas, a first insulating layer having a plurality of first trenches and a plurality of second trenches, the plurality of first trenches respectively corresponding to boundaries between first pixel areas arranged in the first direction and the plurality of first separation areas, the plurality of second trenches corresponding to boundaries between second pixel areas arranged in the first direction, a plurality of first separation layers buried in the plurality of first trenches, and a plurality of second separation layers buried in the plurality of second trenches.
