  • Patent number: 10454031
    Abstract: Disclosed are a pixel structure based on ink-jet printing technology and a method for manufacturing the same. In the pixel structure and in the method for manufacturing the same, a metal oxide semi-conductive material is used for forming an anode layer. The anode layer is divided into conductive areas and semi-conductive areas by conductive treatment. The semi-conductive areas play a same role as a dielectric layer in the prior art. The method for manufacturing the pixel structure is simple because formation of the dielectric layer is not needed. An organic functional layer formed by ink-jet has a uniform film thickness, which effectively improves quality of a product.
