DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18641492 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
The display device described in the patent application includes a substrate with distinct areas for wires and a bending area with connecting wires. These connecting wires have alternating widths along their length, providing flexibility and durability to the device.
- The display device has a substrate with separate areas for first and second wires.
- An insulating layer is positioned in the bending area to protect the wires.
- Connecting wires on the insulating layer link the first and second wires.
- Each connecting wire has alternating wider and narrower portions for flexibility.
- The design of the connecting wires enhances the overall durability of the display device.
Potential Applications: - Flexible electronic displays - Wearable technology - Foldable devices
Problems Solved: - Enhancing flexibility and durability of display devices - Improving connectivity between wires in different areas of the substrate
Benefits: - Increased longevity of display devices - Enhanced functionality in flexible and foldable electronics
Commercial Applications: Title: Flexible Display Technology for Wearable Devices This technology can be utilized in the development of flexible and durable displays for wearable devices, such as smartwatches and fitness trackers. The market implications include improved user experience and increased product lifespan.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the design of the connecting wires contribute to the flexibility of the display device? The alternating widths of the connecting wires allow for bending and twisting without compromising the connectivity between the first and second wires.
2. What are the potential advantages of using this display technology in wearable devices? This technology can lead to more robust and long-lasting wearable devices, offering users a more reliable and durable product experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes a substrate including a first area, a second area, and a bending area. A plurality of first wires are positioned in the first area. A plurality of second wires are positioned in the second area. An insulating layer is positioned in the bending area. A plurality of connecting wires are disposed on the insulating layer. Each of the connecting wires is connected with at least one of the first wires and at least one of the second wires. Each of the connecting wires includes a first portion and a second portion alternatingly arranged along an extending direction of the connecting wires. A width of the first portion is wider than a width of the second portion in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction each of the connecting wires.
