DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240040860 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a display device that includes a substrate with a first through-hole and a panel layer on the substrate with a second through-hole surrounding the first hole region. The panel layer includes a base layer with a groove surrounding a second hole region, which overlaps with the second through-hole. An organic light emitting layer with a cut part overlaps with the groove and defines a portion of the second through-hole. An inorganic encapsulation layer covers the groove and also defines a portion of the second through-hole.
- The display device includes a substrate and a panel layer with through-holes, allowing for the passage of light.
- The panel layer has a base layer with a groove, providing a space for the organic light emitting layer.
- The organic light emitting layer has a cut part that overlaps with the groove, enhancing the display capabilities.
- The inorganic encapsulation layer covers the groove, providing protection and stability to the display device.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Display devices such as televisions, computer monitors, and mobile phone screens.
- Signage and advertising displays.
- Wearable technology such as smartwatches and augmented reality glasses.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved display quality and visibility due to the use of organic light emitting layer.
- Enhanced durability and protection of the display device with the inorganic encapsulation layer.
- Efficient use of space with the through-holes and grooves.
Benefits of this technology:
- Higher resolution and brighter displays.
- Increased durability and lifespan of the display device.
- More compact and lightweight design.
- Improved energy efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
a display device includes: a substrate defining a first through-hole of a first hole region; and a panel layer on the substrate, and defining a second through-hole that surrounds the first hole region in a plan view, the panel layer including: a base layer defining a groove surrounding a second hole region in a plan view, the second hole region overlapping with the second through-hole; an organic light emitting layer including a cut part overlapping with the groove, and having an edge defining a portion of the second through-hole; and an inorganic encapsulation layer on the organic light emitting layer, and covering the groove, the inorganic encapsulation layer having an edge defining a portion of the second through-hole.
