  • Publication number: 20030085664
    Abstract: An electro-luminescence panel that is adaptive for maximizing a capacitance of a storage capacitor. A plurality of electro-luminescence cells are arranged at crossings between gate lines and data lines in the panel. An electro-luminescence cell driving circuit drives the electro-luminescence cells. In the driving circuit, a power supply supplies power to the electro-luminescence cells. A first thin film transistor is connected between the power supply and the electro-luminescence cell. A second thin film transistor is connected between the data line and a gate electrode of the first thin film transistor to serve a switch of the electro-luminescence cell. A storage capacitor is connected between the gate electrode of the first thin film transistor and a pre-stage gate line. Accordingly, a capacitance value of the storage capacitor is maximized with the aid of the pre-stage gate line upon formation of the storage capacitor, thereby preventing flicker caused by a kickback phenomenon.

  • Publication number: 20030062523
    Abstract: An electro-luminescent display and a method of manufacturing thereof prevents the formation of a barrier interface between the anode electrode and the electro-luminescent layer by placing the electro-luminescent layer directly on the anode electrode so that there is no need to etch a subsidiary layer so that the electro-luminescent layer and the anode electrode have excellent electrical contact. The elimination of this etching step prevents damage to the anode electrode caused by collision of ions with the anode electrode during the etching process. Further, etch remainders or contaminant particles that exist in the etchant gas are prevented from accumulating on the anode electrode. Thus, the charge carriers of the anode are easily transported across the interface between the anode electrode and the electro-luminescent layer so as to greatly improve the expected life span, the brightness, and the efficiency of the electro-luminescent display.
