  • Stretchable Display
    Publication number: 20240210995
    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.

  • Displays with reduced data line crosstalk
    Patent number: 11922887
    Abstract: A display may include an array of pixels. Each pixel in the array includes an organic light-emitting diode coupled to associated thin-film transistors. The diode may be coupled to drive transistor circuitry, a data loading transistor, and emission transistors. The drive transistor circuitry may include at least two transistor portions connected in series. The data loading transistor has a drain region connected to a data line and a source region connected directly to the drive transistor circuitry. The data line may be connected to and overlap the drain region of the data loading transistor. The data line and the source region of the data loading transistor are non-overlapping to reduce row-to-row crosstalk.

  • Organic light-emitting diode display with active leakage-reducing structures
    Patent number: 11910654
    Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display may have an array of organic light-emitting diode pixels that each have OLED layers interposed between a cathode and an anode. Voltage may be applied to the anode of each pixel to control the magnitude of emitted light. The conductivity of the OLED layers may allow leakage current to pass between neighboring anodes in the display. To reduce leakage current and the accompanying cross-talk, the display may include active and/or passive leakage-mitigating structures. The passive leakage-mitigating structures may have an undercut that causes discontinuities in the overlying OLED layers. Active leakage-mitigating structures may include a conductive layer (e.g., a conductive ring) that drains leakage current to ground. Alternatively, the active leakage-mitigating structures may include a gate electrode modulator with a variable voltage that stops the current flow laterally.

  • Organic light-emitting diode display with structured electrode
    Patent number: 11211587
    Abstract: A display may have an array of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) pixels that each have OLED layers interposed between a cathode and an anode. Voltage may be applied to the anode of each pixel to control the magnitude of emitted light. The conductivity of the OLED layers may allow leakage current to pass between neighboring anodes in the display. To reduce leakage current and cross-talk, the thickness of at least one of the OLED layers may be reduced. To maintain the optical cavity of the pixels, transparent optical spacer structures may be inserted. Alternatively, the thickness of the anodes can be increased. To accommodate a common prime layer within the OLED layers, the optical spacers or anodes may be separately patterned to have different thicknesses. Grating structures and photonic crystal structures may be embedded as part of the optical spacers to help control emission at selected viewing angles.
