  • Patent number: 9614192
    Abstract: A method for forming a thin film for fabricating an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display is disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes forming a plurality of shadow masks on a substrate. The substrate is then bent to form a predetermined curvature in the substrate. A deposition source is placed at a position having an equal angle with respect to central and peripheral portions of the substrate. The method also includes depositing a deposition material from the deposition source on the substrate and the shadow masks to form a thin film.

  • Patent number: 9472132
    Abstract: A display device includes a timing controller for controlling the display of an image. The timing controller forms a frame for an image signal based on a main frame, a compensation frame, and at least one blank frame. The timing controller also determines a driving method for the display pixels to generate output image data. The main frame serves to display the image signal. The compensation frame serves to compensate luminance of the main frame. The blank frame serves to express a black gray scale value.
