Abstract:
An organic light emitting diode display includes an array of pixels on a substrate. Each pixel includes three sub-pixels that emits light of different wavelengths from each other. The display includes thin film transistors (TFTs) for the sub-pixels on the substrate. Each TFT is separated from each other by a first pixel defining layer. The display also includes a first pixel electrode connected to the TFT for each sub-pixel, a tuning layer on the first pixel electrode, where the tuning layer has a thickness for each sub-pixel such that each sub-pixel has a optical-path length different from another sub-pixel. The display further includes an organic light emitting layer disposed over the tuning layer, and a second pixel defining layer covering a first end of the tuning layer and a second end of the tuning layer opposing to the first end of the tuning layer, and exposing the light emitting layer.
Abstract:
An electronic device may be provided with an organic light-emitting diode display with minimized border regions. The border regions may be minimized by providing conductive structures that pass through polymer layers of the display and/or conductive structures that wrap around an edge of the display and couple conductive traces on the display to conductive traces on additional circuitry that is mounted behind the display.
Abstract:
An electronic device may include a display having an array of display pixels on a substrate. The display pixels may be organic light-emitting diode display pixels or display pixels in a liquid crystal display. In an organic light-emitting diode display, hybrid thin-film transistor structures may be formed that include semiconducting oxide thin-film transistors, silicon thin-film transistors, and capacitor structures. The capacitor structures may overlap the semiconducting oxide thin-film transistors. Organic light-emitting diode display pixels may have combinations of oxide and silicon transistors. In a liquid crystal display, display driver circuitry may include silicon thin-film transistor circuitry and display pixels may be based on oxide thin-film transistors. A single layer or two different layers of gate metal may be used in forming silicon transistor gates and oxide transistor gates. A silicon transistor may have a gate that overlaps a floating gate structure.
Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
A display may include an array of organic light-emitting diode display pixels having transistors characterized by threshold voltages subject to transistor variations. Compensation circuitry may be used to measure a transistor threshold voltage for a pixel. The threshold voltage may be sampled by controlling the pixel to sample the threshold voltage onto a capacitor at the pixel. The pixel may include at least one semiconducting-oxide transistor, silicon transistors, and a light-emitting diode. The diode may be coupled to a data line that can be used for both data loading and compensation sensing operations. Reset operations may be performed after data programming and before emission to reset the anode voltage for the diode.
Abstract:
An electronic device comprises a display and a controller. The controller is configured to provide a first frequency refresh rate to the display. The controller is also configured to generate a control signal configured to control emission of a light emitting diode of a display pixel of the display at a second frequency based on whether the first frequency refresh rate of the display is less than a predetermined threshold value.
