  • Patent number: 9343520
    Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode display can include an improved aperture ratio by configuring a circuit pattern between neighboring subpixels in a symmetrical fashion such that the subpixels share signal lines. Each pixel of the organic light-emitting diode display is formed in a symmetrical fashion with respect to one contact area, the number of reference connecting patterns can be reduced and therefore the area occupied by an opening area for each pixel can be made wider, thus leading to an improved aperture ratio.
