Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus and methods for forming arrays of EL devices and forming the EL devices with overlapped mask plates. The methods utilize overlapping a first mask plate and a second mask plate to form a mask arrangement having first apertures of the first mask plate overlapped with second apertures of the second mask plate forming one or more opening areas. A material is evaporated through the mask arrangement such that layers of the material are formed in a device area of the EL devices. The device area of each of the EL devices corresponds to the opening area of the mask arrangement of the first mask plate and the second mask plate. The method described herein allows for a higher density of the EL devices and creates a smaller deposition area due to the opening area of the mask arrangement.

Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related to 3D imaging capable OLED displays. A light field display comprises an array of 3D light field pixels, each of which comprises an array of corrugated OLED pixels, a metasurface layer disposed adjacent to the array of 3D light field pixels, and a plurality of median layers disposed between the metasurface layer and the corrugated OLED pixels. Each of the corrugated OLED pixels comprises primary or non-primary color subpixels, and produces a different view of an image through the median layers to the metasurface to form a 3D image. The corrugated OLED pixels combined with a cavity effect reduce a divergence of emitted light to enable effective beam direction manipulation by the metasurface. The metasurface having a higher refractive index and a smaller filling factor enables the deflection and direction of the emitted light from the corrugated OLED pixels to be well controlled.
