DISPLAY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240306439 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS

The patent application describes a flexible and robust display apparatus with a substrate that has two distinct areas, one with first pixels and first separation areas, and the other with second pixel areas.

  • The first area includes multiple first pixels and first separation areas between them.
  • The second area consists of several second pixel areas.
  • A first insulating layer on the substrate has first trenches and second trenches corresponding to boundaries between the pixel and separation areas.
  • First separation layers are buried in the first trenches, while second separation layers are buried in the second trenches.

Potential Applications: - Flexible electronic displays - Wearable technology - Foldable screens for smartphones and tablets

Problems Solved: - Enhances the durability and flexibility of display technology - Allows for innovative designs in electronic devices
