  • Stretchable display
    Patent number: 12730478
    Abstract: A display may have a stretchable portion with hermetically sealed rigid pixel islands. A flexible interconnect region may be interposed between the hermetically sealed rigid pixel islands. The hermetically sealed rigid pixel islands may include organic light-emitting diode (OLED) pixels. A conductive cutting structure may have an undercut that causes a discontinuity in a conductive OLED layer to mitigate lateral leakage. The conductive cutting structure may also be electrically connected to a cathode for the OLED pixels and provide a cathode voltage to the cathode. First and second inorganic passivation layers may be formed over the OLED pixels. Multiple discrete portions of an organic inkjet printed layer may be interposed between the first and second inorganic passivation layers.

  • Structural and low-frequency non-uniformity compensation
    Patent number: 10699638
    Abstract: A system for compensating for non-uniformities in an array of solid state devices in a display panel displays images in the panel, and extracts the outputs of a pattern based on structural non-uniformities of the panel, across the panel, for each area of the structural non-uniformities. Then the structural non-uniformities are quantified, based on the values of the extracted outputs, and input signals to the display panel are modified to compensate for the structural non-uniformities. Random non-uniformities are compensated by extracting low-frequency non-uniformities across the panel by applying patterns, and taking images of the pattern. The area and resolution of the image are adjusted to match the panel by creating values for pixels in the display, and then low-frequency non-uniformities across the panel are compensated, based on the created values.

  • STRUCTURAL AND LOW-FREQUENCY NON-UNIFORMITY COMPENSATION
    Publication number: 20190318691
    Abstract: A system for compensating for non-uniformities in an array of solid state devices in a display panel displays images in the panel, and extracts the outputs of a pattern based on structural non-uniformities of the panel, across the panel, for each area of the structural non-uniformities. Then the structural non-uniformities are quantified, based on the values of the extracted outputs, and input signals to the display panel are modified to compensate for the structural non-uniformities. Random non-uniformities are compensated by extracting low-frequency non-uniformities across the panel by applying patterns, and taking images of the pattern. The area and resolution of the image are adjusted to match the panel by creating values for pixels in the display, and then low-frequency non-uniformities across the panel are compensated, based on the created values.
