  • 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.

  • Patent number: 10768474
    Abstract: A display panel includes an active device substrate, an opposite substrate, a liquid crystal layer, a color filter layer, and a first polarized pattern layer. The color filter layer includes a first filter pattern, a second filter pattern, and a third filter pattern. The first polarized pattern layer includes a first upper polarized pattern, a second upper polarized pattern, and a third upper polarized pattern. The first upper polarized pattern is disposed in correspondence to the first filter pattern and includes a plurality of metal wires arranged along a first direction. The second upper polarized pattern is disposed in correspondence to the second filter pattern and includes a plurality of metal wires arranged along a second direction. The third upper polarized pattern is disposed in correspondence to the third filter pattern and includes a plurality of metal wires arranged along a third direction.

  • Patent number: 10274801
    Abstract: A display panel includes a substrate, a plurality of first signal lines, a plurality of second signal lines, a plurality of sub-pixel electrodes, and a first common electrode layer. The plurality of first signal lines and the plurality of second signal lines define a plurality of pixel areas together. Each of the plurality of sub-pixel electrodes is disposed in one of the plurality of pixel areas. The first common electrode layer includes a plurality of first common electrodes electrically connected to each other. Each first common electrode includes a stem and a plurality of branches, and the plurality of branches is coupled to two sides of the stem and extends away from the stem. An orthogonal projection of each stem onto the substrate is located between two adjacent sub-pixel electrodes. Orthogonal projections of the branches onto the substrate at least correspond to one sub-pixel electrode.
