Questions about Display Apparatus Technology: 1. How does the encapsulation layer contribute to the protection of display units? The encapsulation layer acts as a barrier against external elements, preventing damage to the delicate components of the display units.
2. What are the advantages of extending the thin film transistors and passivation layers onto the connection units? Extending these layers onto the connection units ensures uniform protection and functionality across all components of the display apparatus.
Original Abstract Submitted
A display apparatus includes a substrate; a plurality of display units on the substrate, each including a thin film transistor including at least one inorganic layer, a passivation layer on the thin film transistor, and a display device electrically connected to the thin film transistor; and a plurality of encapsulation layers respectively encapsulating the plurality of display units. The substrate includes a plurality of islands spaced apart, a plurality of connection units connecting the plurality of islands, and a plurality of through holes penetrating through the substrate between the plurality of connection units. The plurality of display units are on the plurality of islands, respectively. The at least one inorganic layer and the passivation layer extend on the plurality of connection units. The passivation layer includes a trench exposing the at least one inorganic layer. The encapsulation layer contacts the at least one inorganic layer exposed via the trench.
