  • Publication number: 20240023382
    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 in a display, a cutting structure may disrupt continuity of the OLED layers. The cutting structure may have two undercuts to disrupt continuity of at least some of the OLED layers. The cutting structure may include a conductive portion that provides a cathode voltage to a cathode layer for the OLED pixels.

  • Publication number: 20220271254
    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display such as an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display. The OLED display may have an array of OLED pixels that each have OLED layers interposed between a cathode and an anode. The pixels may be microcavity OLED pixels having optical cavities. The optical cavities may be defined by a partially transparent cathode layer and a reflective anode structure. The distance between the partially transparent cathode layer and the reflective anode structure for a pixel may be selected such that light at the wavelength emitted by the pixel forms a standing wave between the anode and the cathode. The standing wave may have only one anti-node and the emissive layer for the pixel may be aligned with that one anti-node. To mitigate short circuits, a roughness reduction layer and/or short-circuit-reducing layer having a high sheet resistance may be formed between the anode the OLED layers.
