  • Patent number: 7248317
    Abstract: Transflective display panel and fabrication methods thereof. A substrate with a transmissive area disposed thereon is provided. A planarization layer is deposited on the substrate and a hole is then formed in the planarization layer to expose the transmissive area. A first reflective layer and a second reflective layer are formed on the planarization layer in sequence. An etching process is then performed to pattern the first reflective layer and the second reflective layer to expose the transmissive area. The etching process has a first etching rate to the first reflective layer and a second etching rate to the second reflective layer, which is larger than the first etching rate. A transparent electrode layer is then formed on the second reflective layer and the transmissive area.

  • Publication number: 20040080476
    Abstract: A top emission organic light emitting display with a reflective layer therein is provided. The reflective layer, a first electrode, an organic layer, and a transparent second electrode are subsequently formed on the substrate. When a bias voltage is applied to the first electrode and the transparent second electrode, the organic layer emits radiation. The reflective layer reflects radiation from the organic layer toward the transparent second electrode, and therefore the emission efficiency of the OLED increases.

  • Publication number: 20040075788
    Abstract: A structure of a color filter plate for a liquid crystal display panel is described. The structure includes a body having four truncated edges and two recessed portions. The four truncated edges are non-right-angled in shape and respectively formed at four vertexes of the body. The two recessed portions are respectively formed on two opposite sides of the body. When forming a color filter layer composed of plural color filter plates in delta arrangement, the overlapping area of three adjacent color filter plates can be lowered. The light leakage problem of the liquid crystal display panel is suppressed, and the picture quality and the contrast thereof are enhanced.
