DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18666836 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
The patent application describes a display device with a circular display area and a non-display area, pixels, sub-demux circuits, connection lines, and gate stages.
- The display device includes a circular display area on a substrate.
- Pixels, including a first and second pixel, are located on the display area.
- Sub-demux circuits are connected to the pixels and placed on the non-display area.
- Connection lines transfer data input signals to the sub-demux circuits.
- Gate stages transfer gate signals to the pixels, with some stages between the sub-demux circuits.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in circular displays for smartwatches or other wearable devices. - It may also find applications in round screens for automotive displays or home appliances.
Problems Solved: - The technology addresses the challenge of efficiently controlling pixels on a circular display area. - It optimizes the layout of components to maximize display performance.
Benefits: - Improved display quality on circular screens. - Enhanced control and efficiency of pixel management. - Potential for more aesthetically pleasing designs in circular displays.
Commercial Applications: Circular display technology could revolutionize the smartwatch industry, offering more visually appealing and functional devices. It could also be utilized in automotive displays, home appliances, and other consumer electronics.
Questions about Circular Display Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the user experience on wearable devices? 2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this display technology in commercial products?
Original Abstract Submitted
A display device may include a substrate including a circular display area and a non-display area, a plurality of pixels including a first pixel and a second pixel disposed on the display area of the substrate, a first sub-demux circuit connected to the first pixel and disposed on the non-display area, a second sub-demux circuit connected to the second pixel and disposed on the non-display area, a first connection line connected to the first sub-demux circuit and the second sub-demux circuit and disposed on the non-display area to transfer first and second data input signals to the first and second sub-demux circuits, and a plurality of gate stages connected to the pixels and disposed on the non-display area to transfer gate signals to the pixels. Some of the gate stages are disposed between the first sub-demux circuit and the second sub-demux circuit.
