DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240306422 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS
The patent application describes a display apparatus with a unique encapsulation structure and dam portion.
- The display apparatus includes a display element and a substrate with distinct areas.
- An encapsulation layer is present on the display area, consisting of inorganic and organic layers.
- A dam portion in the non-display area corresponds to the boundary line and includes grooves for contact between inorganic layers.
Potential Applications:
- This technology can be used in various display devices such as smartphones, tablets, and TVs.
- It can also be applied in automotive displays, wearable technology, and medical devices.
Problems Solved:
- The encapsulation structure helps protect the display element from external factors like moisture and dust.
- The dam portion ensures a secure boundary between the display and non-display areas.
Benefits:
- Enhanced durability and longevity of display devices.
- Improved display quality and performance.
- Increased resistance to environmental damage.
Commercial Applications:
- This technology has significant implications in the consumer electronics industry, particularly in the development of advanced display products.
- It can also benefit manufacturers of industrial displays and specialized equipment requiring robust display solutions.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the encapsulation layer contribute to the overall durability of the display apparatus? 2. What are the specific advantages of the dam portion in maintaining the integrity of the display area?
Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research in the field of display technology focuses on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of encapsulation methods to enhance display performance and longevity.
Original Abstract Submitted
a display apparatus includes a display element; a substrate including: an opening area, a display area adjacent to the opening area, a non-display area between the opening area and the display area, and a boundary line separating the opening area from the non-display area; an encapsulation layer including: a first inorganic encapsulation layer, an organic encapsulation layer and a second inorganic encapsulation layer in the display area, and the first inorganic encapsulation layer and the second inorganic encapsulation layer extending from the display area to the non-display area; and a dam portion in the non-display area and corresponding to the boundary line. the dam portion which corresponds to the boundary line includes a plurality of grooves in which the first inorganic encapsulation layer and the second inorganic encapsulation layer which are in the non-display area, are in contact with each other.
