  • Patent number: 9490446
    Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode display may have thin-film transistor circuitry formed on a substrate. A pixel definition layer may be formed on the thin-film transistor circuitry. Openings in the pixel definition layer may be provided with emissive material overlapping split anodes that are separated by anode gaps. The anode gaps may extend vertically and horizontally or may extend diagonally. The pixel definition layer openings may have edges that extend vertically and horizontally or that extend diagonally. A display may have three different pixel colors or may have four different pixel colors. Each pixel definition layer opening may have a pair of split anodes that are overlapped by a common layer of emissive material or may have four split anodes that are overlapped by a common layer of emissive material.
