Benefits: - Enhanced user experience with the ability to display different types of content simultaneously. - Improved functionality and versatility in smart devices and wearable technology.
Commercial Applications: - The technology could be valuable for consumer electronics companies looking to differentiate their products with innovative display features. - It may also have applications in the healthcare industry for medical devices that require multiple displays for monitoring and data visualization.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device manage the different driving signals for the various types of pixels? 2. What are the potential challenges in integrating this technology into existing display devices?
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device includes: a substrate in which a main display area, a first non-display area inside the main display area, and an auxiliary display area between the main display area and the first non-display area are defined; and a display unit including an auxiliary display and a main display. The auxiliary display is disposed on the auxiliary display area and includes a plurality of first auxiliary pixels, a plurality of second auxiliary pixels, and a plurality of third auxiliary pixels. The main display is disposed on the main display area and includes a plurality of main pixels. The plurality of first auxiliary pixels is commonly driven by a first driving signal, the plurality of second auxiliary pixels is commonly driven by a second driving signal, and the plurality of third auxiliary pixels is commonly driven by a third driving signal.
