  • Patent number: 7977871
    Abstract: An organic electroluminescent device and a method for fabricating the same are disclosed. A first electrode, which is a pixel electrode, and a second electrode, which is a common electrode, are formed to have an uneven surface, thereby maximizing a luminous efficiency and a reflection efficiency. In addition, since a surface of a contact area between a counter electrode and a common electrode can be increased, the resistivity between the two electrodes can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 7956532
    Abstract: A display panel has a display area with a matrix of individual display pixels. The display panel also includes an electrode that is arranged to cover at least substantially the entirety of the display area. A common electrode is generally frame-shaped and is arranged exclusively around the perimeter of the display area. The common electrode has a notched portion that is located at a power supply lead pattern having a potential that is different from the potential that is applied to the common electrode. The notched portion advantageously substantially reduces the surface area of the common electrode overlapping the power supply lead.

  • Patent number: 7952276
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing an organic light emitting display, an organic light emitting layer and a second electrode are sequentially formed on a first sub-electrode, and a laser beam is irradiated onto the organic light emitting layer to partially remove the organic light emitting layer, so that the first sub-electrode is electrically connected to the second electrode. Thus, even though the second electrode is formed to have a small thickness in order to maximize an amount of light that is generated by the organic light emitting layer and exits to an exterior through the second electrode, the second electrode is electrically connected to the first sub-electrode, thereby reducing an electrical resistance of the second electrode.

  • Patent number: 7948172
    Abstract: A thin-film, white-light-emitting diode device includes a reflective, conductive thin-film structure and a semi-transparent, conductive thin-film structure. One or more thin-film layers are formed between the reflective and semi-transparent conductive thin-film structures to form two or more commonly-controlled microcavity structures. The thin-film layers emit white light in response to current provided by the conductive thin-film structure. Each of the two or more commonly-controlled microcavity structures has a different resonant frequency within one or more optical cavities and emits light with a smaller spectral range than the spectral range of the white-light-emitting thin-film layer(s). A combination of light emitted from the two or more commonly-controlled microcavity structures is white.
