DISPLAY PANEL AND A DISPLAY APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240164195 titled 'DISPLAY PANEL AND A DISPLAY APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The display panel described in the abstract includes a substrate with a display area and a corner area, curved or polygonal sides in the corner area, pixels arranged in two directions, a driving portion with normal and dummy stages in the corner area, and an alignment mark defining a notch area with some dummy stages.
- Substrate with display and corner areas:
- The display panel has a substrate that includes a display area for the pixels and a corner area with curved or polygonal sides located outside the display area.
- Driving portion with normal and dummy stages:
- The driving portion in the corner area consists of a series of normal stages that output electrical signals to the pixels, along with dummy stages interspersed between the normal stages.
- Alignment mark and notch area:
- An alignment mark is present in the corner area, defining a notch area where some of the dummy stages are located based on the alignment mark.
