DISPLAY APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18585660 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

The display apparatus described in the patent application includes a base substrate with a display area and a peripheral area, a source/drain pattern, a planarization insulation layer, a connecting member, and a driving member.

• The base substrate has a display area where images are shown and a peripheral area next to it.
• The source/drain pattern on the base substrate includes a connecting electrode in the peripheral area and an electrode of a thin-film transistor in the display area.
• The planarization insulation layer covers the base substrate, contacting the side surfaces of the connecting electrode and the thin-film transistor electrode while exposing the top surface of the connecting electrode.
• A connecting member is in contact with the connecting electrode.
• A driving member, which includes a driving circuit, is connected to the connecting member.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various display devices such as TVs, monitors, and smartphones. - It can also be applied in medical imaging equipment, automotive displays, and wearable technology.

Problems Solved: - Provides a more efficient and reliable way to drive displays. - Enhances the overall performance and longevity of display devices.

Benefits: - Improved display quality and resolution. - Increased durability and stability of the display apparatus. - Enhanced user experience with better image rendering.

Commercial Applications: - Display manufacturing companies can integrate this technology into their products to enhance performance and attract more customers. - The technology can be licensed to various industries for use in different types of display devices.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the planarization insulation layer contribute to the overall functionality of the display apparatus? 2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this technology in mass-produced display devices?

Original Abstract Submitted

A display apparatus includes a base substrate including a display area in which an image is displayed and a peripheral area adjacent to the display area, a source/drain pattern on the base substrate, the source/drain pattern including a connecting electrode in a pad portion of the peripheral area and a electrode of a thin film transistor in the display area, a planarization insulation layer on the base substrate, the planarization insulation layer contacting a side surface of the connecting electrode and a side surface of the electrode of the thin film transistor, and exposing a top surface of the connecting electrode, a connecting member contacting the connecting electrode, and a driving member including a driving circuit, the driving member being connected to the connecting member.
