Display Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240176394 titled 'Display Device

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a display device with a stretchable lower substrate, plate patterns, line units, holes in peak areas of the line units, and conductive members filled in the holes to prevent crack propagation.

  • Stretchable lower substrate
  • Plate patterns spaced apart from each other
  • Line units between plate patterns
  • Holes in peak areas of line units
  • Conductive members filled in the holes

Potential Applications

The technology described in this patent application could be applied in flexible displays, wearable electronics, and stretchable electronic devices.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the issue of crack propagation in stretchable displays, which can lead to malfunctions and reduced lifespan of the device.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved durability, flexibility, and longevity of stretchable display devices.

Potential Commercial Applications

The potential commercial applications of this technology include flexible smartphones, smart clothing, and medical devices.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of stretchable substrates in electronic devices, but the specific design with holes in peak areas of line units filled with conductive members to prevent crack propagation may be a novel innovation.

Unanswered Questions

How does the presence of holes in peak areas affect the overall flexibility of the display device?

The holes in peak areas are strategically placed to prevent crack propagation, but it is unclear how they impact the overall flexibility of the device.

What materials are used for the conductive members filled in the holes, and how do they contribute to preventing crack propagation?

The patent application mentions conductive members filled in the holes, but it does not specify the materials used or how they function to block crack propagation.


Original Abstract Submitted

according to an aspect of the present disclosure, a display device includes a stretchable lower substrate; a plurality of plate patterns on the lower substrate and spaced apart from each other, a plurality of line units between the plurality of plate patterns; a plurality of holes in a peak area of the plurality of line units; and a plurality of conductive members filled in the plurality of holes. accordingly, the plurality of holes are formed in a peak area in which the stress is concentrated so that when the crack is generated, the crack may be blocked so as not to propagate to the other part of the line unit from the plurality of holes.
