Patent number: 11818912Abstract: A display may have organic light-emitting diode pixels formed from thin-film circuitry. The thin-film circuitry may be formed in thin-film transistor (TFT) layers and the organic light-emitting diodes may include anodes and cathodes and an organic emissive layer formed over the TFT layers between the anodes and cathodes. The organic emissive layer may be formed via chemical evaporation techniques. The display may include moisture blocking structures such as organic emissive layer disconnecting structures that introduce one or more gaps in the organic emissive layer during evaporation so that any potential moisture permeating path from the display panel edge to the active area of the display is completely terminated.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2019Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Tsung-Ting Tsai, Abbas Jamshidi Roudbari, Chuan-Sheng Wei, HanChi Ting, Jae Won Choi, Jianhong Lin, Nai-Chih Kao, Shih Chang Chang, Shin-Hung Yeh, Takahide Ishii, Ting-Kuo Chang, Yu Hung Chen, Yu-Wen Liu, Yu-Chuan Pai, Andrew Lin
