DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18531076 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
The abstract of this patent application describes a display device with a display panel that includes a pixel, an encapsulation layer, and a connection electrode connecting a signal line and a pad electrode. The connection electrode is connected to the pad electrode via a first contact area positioned in a non-display area. A first contact hole is defined penetrating the second synthetic resin layer in the first contact area, a plurality of insulating layers is disposed in the first contact hole, and a second contact hole is defined inside the first contact hole in a plan view, penetrates the insulating layers, and exposes the pad electrode. The first contact hole has a width greater than a width of the second contact hole in the plan view.
- The display device includes a display panel with a unique connection electrode design.
- The connection electrode is connected to the pad electrode through a first contact area in a non-display area.
- A first contact hole is defined to expose the pad electrode, with insulating layers inside it.
- The first contact hole has a larger width than the second contact hole, providing a specific design feature for the device.
- This innovation aims to improve the connection and functionality of display panels.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in various types of display devices such as smartphones, tablets, and monitors. - It can also be used in automotive displays, smart TVs, and wearable technology.
Problems Solved: - Enhances the connection reliability between the signal line and the pad electrode. - Provides a more efficient design for display panels in electronic devices.
Benefits: - Improved performance and durability of display devices. - Enhanced functionality and connectivity for electronic gadgets.
Commercial Applications: - This technology can be utilized by electronics manufacturers to enhance the quality and reliability of their display products, leading to better user experiences and increased market competitiveness.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the unique connection electrode design improve the functionality of the display device? 2. What specific advantages does the larger width of the first contact hole provide in terms of performance and reliability?
