US Patent 10013088 Summary

• Title: Flat panel display with integrated touch screen panel
• Assignee: Samsung Display Co Ltd.
• Inventors: Jong-soo Kim, Do-youb Kim, Myoung-Seop Song, Sang-Kyun Cho
• Filing Date: April 20, 2016
• Issue Date: July 3, 2018
• Abstract: The patent describes a flat panel display featuring an integrated touch screen panel directly built onto a sealing thin film. The sensing lines of the touch screen panel are designed to extend to the display panel's substrate, which houses organic light-emitting elements. This configuration allows both the touch screen panel and the display panel to connect to a single flexible printed circuit board (FPCB), which helps to simplify manufacturing processes and reduce product costs.

Plain-Language Overview of Independent Claims:

• Claim 1: This claim describes a display that includes a main substrate with a pixel area (first area) and an adjacent second area. Over the pixel area, there's a thin sealing film that protects the pixels from oxygen and moisture, and this film has an inclined (slanted) edge that slopes downwards towards a driving circuit. A touch sensor is built on top of this sealing film, consisting of sensing cells and sensing lines. These sensing lines have a first part on the sealing film and a second part extending over the substrate in the second area, connecting to the driving circuit. The sensing cells are arranged in two directions (e.g., rows and columns), with an insulating layer separating their connection patterns to ensure they function independently.
