  • Publication number: 20230317006
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a display device including pixels that compensate a threshold voltage of a driving transistor, the pixels arranged in a plurality of rows. The gate of the driving transistor of each pixel is coupled to a pixel data switch and a reference voltage switch, configured to selectively provide pixel data provided via a data line and a reference voltage provided via a separate reference voltage line to the gate of the driving transistor, respectively. As pixel data and the reference voltage are provided to the driving transistor via separate lines, the compensation period of the pixel may overlap in time with a data writing period of pixels of a previous row of the display device, increasing the rate at which the display device is able to program the pixels of each row.

  • Patent number: 7615792
    Abstract: Light-emitting devices capable of preventing separation or alteration of a first electrode to obtain high performance, methods of manufacturing the light-emitting device, and display units are provided. A first electrode as an anode, an insulating film, an organic layer including a light-emitting layer, and a second electrode as a cathode are laminated in this order on a substrate with a planarizing layer as a base layer in between. The first electrode has a structure in which an adhesive layer, a reflective layer and a barrier layer is laminated in this order from the substrate. Alteration of the reflective layer can be prevented by the barrier layer, and the reflective layer can be prevented from being separated from the planarizing layer by the adhesive layer. The first electrode is formed through forming the adhesive layer, the reflective layer and the barrier layer on the planarizing layer, and then patterning them in order from the barrier layer.

  • Patent number: 7161295
    Abstract: A top-emitting display unit is fabricated by the following steps: A lower electrode is formed on a substrate. An organic layer including a luminescent sublayer is formed on the lower electrode. Furthermore, an upper electrode containing lithium is formed by a sputtering process into a thickness of 7 nm to 21 nm. The upper electrode functions as a cathode. The lithium content in the upper electrode is in the range of 0.3 to 1.9 percent by weight. In the sputtering process, the upper electrode is preferably formed at a deposition rate of 50 nm/min or less.
