PORTABLE COMPUTER DISPLAY STRUCTURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18349682 titled 'PORTABLE COMPUTER DISPLAY STRUCTURES
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes an electronic device housing with upper and lower portions that are connected by a hinge. - The housing has a rear planar surface and sidewalls with edges. - A display module is mounted in the housing, consisting of glass layers including a color filter glass layer and a thin-film transistor substrate. - The color filter glass layer is the outermost layer of the display module. - The edges of the display module are aligned with the edges of the housing sidewalls to create a borderless display appearance. - The display module has an opening for a camera or other electronic components to receive light. - Traces on the underside of the thin-film transistor substrate serve as signal paths for electrical components.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device housing may have upper and lower portions that are attached with a hinge. At least one portion of the housing may have a rear planar surface and peripheral sidewalls having edges. A display module may be mounted in the housing. The display module may have glass layers such as a color filter glass layer and a thin-film transistor substrate. The color filter glass layer may serve as the outermost glass layer in the display module. The edges of the display module may be aligned with the edges of the peripheral housing sidewalls to create the appearance of a borderless display for the electronic device. The display module may be provided with an opening that allows a camera or other electronic components to receive light. Traces may be provided on the underside of the thin-film transistor substrate to serve as signal paths for the electrical components.
