CONDUCTIVE OXIDE OVERHANG STRUCTURES FOR OLED DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18744244 titled 'CONDUCTIVE OXIDE OVERHANG STRUCTURES FOR OLED DEVICES
The abstract describes sub-pixel circuits and methods for forming them in an OLED display, featuring permanent overhang structures with a conductive oxide.
- The overhang structures consist of a base portion and a top portion, with the top portion placed on the base portion.
- In one configuration, the base portion includes a conductive oxide made of a TCO material or a TMO material.
- In another configuration, the base portion is made of a metal alloy material with a conductive oxide on the surface.
- A second configuration includes a body portion between the base and top portions, consisting of a metal alloy body and a metal oxide surface.
Potential Applications: - OLED displays - Electronic devices requiring high-resolution screens
Problems Solved: - Enhancing the performance and efficiency of OLED displays - Improving sub-pixel circuit design
Benefits: - Increased display quality - Energy efficiency - Enhanced durability of OLED displays
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Sub-Pixel Circuits for OLED Displays This technology can be utilized in the manufacturing of high-quality OLED displays for smartphones, TVs, monitors, and other electronic devices, leading to improved visual experiences for consumers and increased market competitiveness for manufacturers.
Questions about Sub-Pixel Circuits: 1. How do sub-pixel circuits contribute to the overall performance of OLED displays? Sub-pixel circuits play a crucial role in controlling the color and brightness of individual pixels in OLED displays, resulting in high-quality images and videos.
2. What are the key differences between sub-pixel circuits in OLED displays and other types of display technologies? OLED displays utilize organic materials that emit light when an electric current is applied, allowing for thinner and more flexible screens compared to traditional LCD displays.
Original Abstract Submitted
Sub-pixel circuits and methods of forming sub-pixel circuits that may be utilized in an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display are described herein. The overhang structures are permanent to the sub-pixel circuit. The overhang structures include a conductive oxide. A first configuration of the overhang structures includes a base portion and a top portion with the top portion disposed on the base portion. In a first sub-configuration, the base portion includes the conductive oxide of at least one of a TCO material or a TMO material. In a second sub-configuration, the base portion includes a metal alloy material and the conductive oxide of a metal oxide surface. A second configuration of the overhang structures includes the base portion and the top portion with a body portion disposed between the base portion and the top portion. The body portion includes the metal alloy body and the metal oxide surface.
