DISPLAY DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240241545 titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF
The abstract describes a display device with a display panel, a window, and a window protection layer. The display panel has non-folding regions and a folding region with light emitting and non-light emitting regions. The window is placed on the display panel, and the window protection layer has a groove overlapping the folding region.
- The display device includes a display panel with non-folding and folding regions.
- The folding region is foldable and has light emitting and non-light emitting regions.
- A window is placed on the display panel, and a window protection layer with a groove is added for protection.
- The groove overlaps the folding region, enhancing the durability of the display device.
- The design allows for a seamless viewing experience with protection for the folding region.
Potential Applications: - Foldable electronic devices - Flexible display technology - Protective layers for electronic screens
Problems Solved: - Protecting foldable display devices - Enhancing durability of flexible screens
Benefits: - Improved longevity of foldable screens - Enhanced user experience with seamless displays
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Display Device for Foldable Electronics" This technology can be used in smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices with foldable screens, catering to the growing market demand for flexible and durable displays.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the window protection layer enhance the durability of the display device?
- The window protection layer with a groove overlapping the folding region provides added protection to the vulnerable areas of the display.
2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond foldable electronic devices?
- This technology can also be applied to flexible display panels in various industries such as automotive, healthcare, and wearables.
Original Abstract Submitted
a display device includes a display panel, a window, and a window protection layer. the display panel includes a first non-folding region, a second non-folding region, and a folding region which is foldable and disposed between the first non-folding region and the second non-folding region. the first non-folding region, the second non-folding region, and the folding region each include light emitting regions in which light emitting elements respectively overlap and a non-light emitting region disposed between the light emitting regions. the window is disposed on the display panel. the window protection layer has at least one groove overlapping the folding region defined therein, and is disposed on the window. the groove overlaps the non-light emitting region of the folding region when viewed on a plane.
