DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18665649 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS
The abstract describes a display apparatus with a unique encapsulation structure and a dam portion.
- The display apparatus includes a display element and a substrate with distinct areas.
- An encapsulation layer is present, consisting of inorganic and organic layers in the display area.
- A dam portion in the non-display area corresponds to the boundary line and includes grooves for contact between inorganic layers.
Potential Applications:
- This technology could be used in various display devices such as smartphones, tablets, and TVs.
- It can enhance the durability and longevity of displays by providing effective encapsulation.
Problems Solved:
- The technology addresses issues related to display protection and longevity.
- It prevents damage from external factors such as moisture and dust.
Benefits:
- Improved display durability and longevity.
- Enhanced protection against environmental factors.
- Higher quality display performance over time.
Commercial Applications:
- This technology could be valuable for consumer electronics manufacturers looking to improve the quality and lifespan of their products.
- It may also be of interest to companies in the display technology sector seeking innovative solutions for their products.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the encapsulation layer in the display area contribute to the overall durability of the display? 2. What specific advantages does the dam portion provide in terms of protecting the display from external factors?
Original Abstract Submitted
A display apparatus includes a display element; a substrate including: an opening area, a display area adjacent to the opening area, a non-display area between the opening area and the display area, and a boundary line separating the opening area from the non-display area; an encapsulation layer including: a first inorganic encapsulation layer, an organic encapsulation layer and a second inorganic encapsulation layer in the display area, and the first inorganic encapsulation layer and the second inorganic encapsulation layer extending from the display area to the non-display area; and a dam portion in the non-display area and corresponding to the boundary line. The dam portion which corresponds to the boundary line includes a plurality of grooves in which the first inorganic encapsulation layer and the second inorganic encapsulation layer which are in the non-display area, are in contact with each other.
