DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18509356 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS
The abstract of the patent application describes a display apparatus with a substrate containing a display area and a peripheral area, a transistor in the display area connected to a light-emitting element, and a scan driver in the peripheral area.
- The scan driver includes a first transistor with an oxide semiconductor layer and a second transistor with a silicon semiconductor layer, both with gate electrodes overlapping their respective semiconductor layers.
- Insulating layers on the substrate define dummy holes that do not overlap the semiconductor layers, spaced apart from the first and second semiconductor layers, and overlapping dummy semiconductor layers adjacent to the first semiconductor layer.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in the development of high-resolution displays for various electronic devices. - It can also be applied in the manufacturing of advanced display panels for televisions, smartphones, and other consumer electronics.
Problems Solved: - The technology addresses the need for efficient and reliable scan drivers in display apparatus. - It solves the challenge of integrating different types of transistors on a single substrate for improved display performance.
Benefits: - Improved display quality and resolution. - Enhanced efficiency and reliability of scan drivers. - Simplified manufacturing processes for display panels.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Display Technology for Consumer Electronics This technology can be commercially utilized in the production of high-quality display panels for smartphones, tablets, televisions, and other electronic devices. The market implications include improved visual experiences for consumers and increased demand for devices with advanced display capabilities.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the integration of oxide and silicon transistors improve display performance? 2. What are the specific advantages of using dummy holes in the scan driver design?
Original Abstract Submitted
A display apparatus includes a substrate having a display area and a peripheral area outside the display area, a transistor in the display area and a light-emitting element electrically connected to the transistor, and a scan driver in the peripheral area, wherein the scan driver includes a first transistor disposed on the substrate and including a first semiconductor layer comprising an oxide semiconductor and a first gate electrode overlapping the first semiconductor layer, a second transistor disposed on the substrate and including a second semiconductor layer comprising a silicon semiconductor and a second gate electrode overlapping the second semiconductor layer, and insulating layers disposed on the substrate and defining dummy holes not overlapping the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer, wherein the dummy holes are spaced apart from the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer and overlap dummy semiconductor layers adjacent to the first semiconductor layer.
