DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18531955 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
The abstract of the patent application describes a display device with a substrate containing emission and non-emission areas, a light-emitting element, a thin-film encapsulation layer, and a touch sensor layer.
- The display device includes a substrate with emission and non-emission areas.
- A light-emitting element is positioned on the substrate, overlapping the emission area.
- A thin-film encapsulation layer covers both the emission and non-emission areas and is placed on the light-emitting element.
- The touch sensor layer consists of a first conductive layer, a touch insulating layer, and a second conductive layer.
- The touch insulating layer overlaps with the non-emission area and has a unique surface structure with a first surface facing the encapsulation layer, a second surface with a greater width, and an inclined surface connecting them.
- The second conductive layer covers the second surface and the inclined surface.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in the development of touch-sensitive display screens for various electronic devices. - It can enhance user interaction with devices through touch input capabilities.
Problems Solved: - The technology addresses the need for touch-sensitive displays with improved sensitivity and accuracy. - It provides a solution for integrating touch sensors into display devices without compromising performance.
Benefits: - Improved touch sensitivity and accuracy. - Enhanced user experience with touch-enabled devices. - Integration of touch sensors without affecting display performance.

Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes a substrate comprising emission and non-emission areas. A light-emitting element overlaps the emission area and is on the substrate. A thin-film encapsulation layer overlaps with the emission and non-emission areas and is on the light-emitting element. A touch sensor layer is on the thin-film encapsulation layer. The touch sensor layer comprises a first conductive layer on the thin-film encapsulation layer. A touch insulating layer is on the first conductive layer. A second conductive layer is on the touch insulating layer. The touch insulating layer overlaps with the non-emission area and comprises a first surface facing the thin-film encapsulation layer. A second surface is opposite to the first surface and has a width in a first direction greater than that of the first surface. An inclined surface connects the first and second surfaces. The second conductive layer covers the second surface and the inclined surface.
