Patent number: 10312309Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode display may have thin-film transistor circuitry formed on a substrate. The display and substrate may have rounded corners. A pixel definition layer may be formed on the thin-film transistor circuitry. Openings in the pixel definition layer may be provided with emissive material overlapping respective anodes for organic light-emitting diodes. A cathode layer may cover the array of pixels. A ground power supply path may be used to distribute a ground voltage to the cathode layer. The ground power supply path may be formed from a metal layer that is shorted to the cathode layer using portions of a metal layer that forms anodes for the diodes, may be formed from a mesh shaped metal pattern, may have L-shaped path segments, may include laser-deposited metal on the cathode layer, and may have other structures that facilitate distribution of the ground power supply.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2018Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Chin-Wei Lin, Stephen S.

Patent number: 10283053Abstract: An active matrix display wherein each cell comprises: two thin-film transistors (TFTs) connected in series, the first TFT having its drain connected to a high supply line and the second TFT having its source connected to a low supply line. Gates of the first and second TFTs are selectively connected to respective first and second data driver signals under the control of a scan line signal. A storage capacitance is connected to a node joining the first and second TFT. A driving TFT has a gate connected to the joining node and is connected to drive a light emitting device with a bias current. In one embodiment, the first and second TFTs are sized relative to one another and the first and second data driver signal voltages are related proportionally, so that the data driver signals and the bias current are related to one another by a function substantially independent of a threshold voltage of the driving TFT.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2017Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: Facebook Technologies, LLCInventors: Ilias Pappas, Sean Lord, Yu-Hsuan Li
