Abstract: A display may have a stretchable portion with hermetically sealed rigid pixel islands. A flexible interconnect region may be interposed between the hermetically sealed rigid pixel islands. The hermetically sealed rigid pixel islands may include organic light-emitting diode (OLED) pixels. A conductive cutting structure may have an undercut that causes a discontinuity in a conductive OLED layer to mitigate lateral leakage. The conductive cutting structure may also be electrically connected to a cathode for the OLED pixels and provide a cathode voltage to the cathode. First and second inorganic passivation layers may be formed over the OLED pixels. Multiple discrete portions of an organic inkjet printed layer may be interposed between the first and second inorganic passivation layers.

Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display may have an array of pixels that each have OLED layers interposed between a cathode and an anode. The display may also include a planarization layer that is deposited using inkjet printing. To mitigate the need for dam structures to prevent overflow of the planarization layer during inkjet printing, capillary-flow-inducing structures may be included in the inactive area of the display. The topology of the capillary-flow-inducing structures may be propagated to a passivation layer such that an upper surface of the passivation layer has a similar topology as the capillary-flow-inducing structures. The planarization layer therefore undergoes capillary flow when deposited on the upper surface of the passivation layer. The capillary-flow-inducing structures may be formed from dots, rectangular strips, or trapezoidal strips. The capillary-flow-inducing structures may be formed from the same material as spacers in the active area or using another layer in the display.
