Multi-function Layer Embedded in Seal for Display Panel Thickness Control

The patent combines the support function and light blocking function into a single multi-function layer. This layer includes a support portion that provides mechanical support to maintain uniform peripheral thickness, while also serving as a light blocking layer to prevent light leakage. By merging these functions, the patent avoids the need for separate support structures and light blocking layers, thereby improving thickness uniformity without compromising the sealing function.

The multi-function layer is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it provides mechanical support to maintain cell thickness, blocks light in the non-display area, and contributes to the overall structural integrity of the display panel. This multi-functional design resolves the contradiction by integrating the support function needed for thickness uniformity with the light blocking function, eliminating the need for additional separate components.

The patent merges the light blocking function with the support function in a single multi-function layer. This layer is positioned in the non-display area and includes a support portion that extends into the seal. By combining these functions, the patent achieves display uniformity without adding separate light-shielding layers, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining manufacturing precision.

The multi-function layer serves as both a support structure and a light blocking layer. This universal design allows the same layer to perform multiple functions, eliminating the need for additional dedicated light-shielding layers and reducing the overall complexity of the display panel structure while improving display uniformity.

The patent combines the support function with the light blocking function in a single multi-function layer that is formed using existing manufacturing processes. The support portion is integrated into the light blocking layer structure, allowing both functions to be achieved without requiring additional complex manufacturing steps. This integration maintains thickness control while preserving ease of manufacture.

The multi-function layer is designed to be manufactured using standard display panel fabrication processes. By making the support structure multi-functional (serving both as support and light blocking), the patent avoids the need for separate manufacturing steps for additional support components, thereby maintaining ease of manufacture while achieving precise thickness control.
