DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240045555 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a display device with a display panel and an input sensor. The display panel has an active area and a peripheral area, which are divided into a first area and a second area. The input sensor includes first sensing electrodes arranged in a first direction and second sensing electrodes arranged in a second direction. First sensing lines connected to the first sensing electrodes are located within the active area and partially in the first area, while second sensing lines connected to the second sensing electrodes are located in the second area. A first guard electrode is positioned between the first sensing lines and the second sensing lines at the boundary between the first and second areas.
- The display device includes a display panel and an input sensor.
- The input sensor has first and second sensing electrodes arranged in different directions.
- First sensing lines connected to the first sensing electrodes are located within the active area and partially in the first area.
- Second sensing lines connected to the second sensing electrodes are located in the second area.
- A first guard electrode is positioned between the first and second sensing lines at the boundary between the first and second areas.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Touchscreen devices: The input sensor can be used to detect touch inputs on the display panel, enabling touch functionality in various devices such as smartphones, tablets, and interactive displays.
- Gaming consoles: The input sensor can be utilized for gaming purposes, allowing users to interact with the display panel through touch or gestures.
- Automotive displays: The display device can be integrated into car infotainment systems or dashboard displays, providing touch control for navigation, media, and other features.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Accurate touch detection: The arrangement of the sensing electrodes and lines allows for precise and reliable touch detection, reducing errors and improving user experience.
- Space optimization: By dividing the display panel into active and peripheral areas, the input sensor can be efficiently integrated without compromising the display area.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced user interaction: The input sensor enables intuitive touch input, making it easier for users to interact with the display panel.
- Improved display design: The integration of the input sensor within the display panel allows for sleek and seamless designs without the need for external touch layers.
- Increased functionality: The touch capabilities provided by this technology expand the range of applications and features that can be implemented in devices utilizing the display device.
