TRANSPARENT DISPLAY DEVICE WITH TOUCH SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240176448 titled 'TRANSPARENT DISPLAY DEVICE WITH TOUCH SENSOR

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a transparent display device with a touch sensor that aims to reduce the loss of light transmittance caused by the touch sensor and touch line, while also being able to detect a line area where a defective touch sensor is present.

  • The device includes a substrate with transmissive areas and a non-transmissive area between them, where a touch line extends from the non-transmissive area to connect to a touch sensor electrode.
  • A common power line is connected to a cathode electrode to supply power, with the non-transmissive area containing a cathode power area that includes a first and second cathode power area, where the second area may have higher resistance than the first.

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in:

  • Transparent displays for consumer electronics
  • Interactive digital signage
  • Automotive heads-up displays

Problems Solved

The technology addresses:

  • Loss of light transmittance in touch display devices
  • Detection of defective touch sensors
  • Efficient power distribution in touch display systems

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved display quality
  • Enhanced touch sensitivity
  • Increased reliability and durability of touch displays

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be commercially applied in:

  • Smartphones and tablets
  • Public information kiosks
  • Automotive display systems

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of resistive touch sensors in transparent displays, which may have limitations in terms of light transmittance and detection of defective sensors.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology compare to existing touch sensor technologies in terms of cost-effectiveness?

The patent application does not provide information on the cost implications of implementing this technology compared to other touch sensor solutions.

What are the environmental implications of using this technology in terms of energy efficiency?

The patent application does not address the energy efficiency aspects of the transparent display device with a touch sensor.


Original Abstract Submitted

a transparent display device with a touch sensor is provided, which may reduce loss of light transmittance due to a touch sensor and a touch line, and may detect a line area, in which a defective touch sensor is included. the device includes a substrate provided with a plurality of transmissive areas and a non-transmissive area disposed between the transmissive areas adjacent to each other. the device includes a touch line extended from the non-transmissive area and connected to a touch sensor electrode, and a common power line connected to a cathode electrode to supply a cathode power source. the non-transmissive area includes a cathode power area to which the cathode power source is applied through the common power line, the cathode power area includes a first cathode power area and a second cathode power area. the second cathode power area may have resistance higher than that of the first cathode power area.
