  • Patent number: 10418425
    Abstract: Provided is an organic light emitting display module including an active area, a pad area, and a boundary area between the active area and the pad area. Unlike the active area and the pad area, since the boundary area does not include an inorganic layer, less stress is applied to the boundary area when the boundary area is bent. Display panel pads and touch sensing member pads are disposed at the same height without having a height difference therebetween. Thus, a dummy pad may be added to remove the height difference between the display panel pads and the touch sensing member pads.

  • Patent number: 10418438
    Abstract: A capacitor structure may include a lower conducting layer (e.g., poly 1 layer) and an upper conducting layer (e.g., overlying poly 2 layer), which define an anode and cathode, and a dielectric layer (e.g., an ONO layer stack) located between the upper conducting layer and the lower conducting layer, wherein a portion of the dielectric layer (e.g., at least the nitride layer of the ONO layer stack) extends beyond a lateral edge of the upper conducting layer. A method forming such capacitor structure may utilize a spacer adjacent the lateral edge of the upper conducting layer and over the first portion of the dielectric layer, performing an etch to remove a first portion of the dielectric layer but protect a second portion located below the spacer and extending laterally beyond an edge of the upper conducting layer.
