FLAT PANEL DISPLAY WITH BARRIER BETWEEN THE FRAME AND PIXEL

摘要

A flat panel display including: a plurality of electrically addressable pixels; a plurality of thin-film transistor driver circuits each being electrically coupled to an associated at least one of the pixels, respectively; a passivating layer on the thin-film transistor driver circuits and at least partially around the pixels; a conductive frame on the passivating layer; an insulator barrier interposed between the conductive frame and the pixels and, a plurality of nanostructures on the conductive frame; wherein, exciting the conductive frame and addressing one of the pixels using the associated driver circuit causes the nanostructures to emit electrons that induce the one of the pixels to emit light, with said insulator barrier operative to prevent electrical shorts and leakage between said pixel and said conductive frame.
