DISPLAY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240237502 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE
The patent application describes a display device with a substrate containing an active area and a dummy area, along with multiple sub-pixels arranged in rows and columns, and various power lines for initialization and repair.
- Sub-pixels in the dummy area are located in the outermost column of the display.
- First and second initialization power lines provide different voltages to sub-pixels in the active area.
- Repair lines connect sub-pixels in the dummy area to sub-pixels in the active area for maintenance purposes.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in the manufacturing of high-resolution displays for electronic devices. - It may find applications in the development of advanced visual systems for augmented reality devices.
Problems Solved: - The technology addresses issues related to sub-pixel initialization and repair in display devices. - It improves the overall performance and longevity of the display by efficiently managing sub-pixel functions.
Benefits: - Enhanced display quality and resolution. - Improved maintenance and repair capabilities for display devices. - Increased reliability and longevity of the display technology.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Display Technology for High-Resolution Devices This technology can be utilized in the production of smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices requiring high-quality displays. It has the potential to impact the consumer electronics market by offering improved visual experiences to users.
Questions about Display Device Technology: 1. How does the arrangement of sub-pixels in the dummy area contribute to the overall functionality of the display device? 2. What are the specific advantages of using different initialization voltages for sub-pixels in the active area?
Original Abstract Submitted
a display device includes a substrate including an active area and a dummy area, and including a plurality of sub-pixels arranged in m rows and n columns, first initialization power lines which provide a first initialization voltage to sub-pixels of the plurality of sub-pixels and extending in a column direction, second initialization power lines which provide a second initialization voltage to sub-pixels of the plurality of sub-pixels and extending in the column direction, and repair lines extending in a row direction. sub-pixels of the dummy area are arranged in an outermost column of the n columns, the repair lines are arranged so as to connect the sub-pixels of the dummy area and sub-pixels of the active area among the plurality of sub-pixels, respectively, and m and n are natural numbers.
