Displays with overlapping light-emitting diodes and gate drivers

摘要

An electronic device may be provided with a display. The display may be formed from an array of organic light-emitting diode display pixels. Each display pixel may have an organic light-emitting diode having an anode and a cathode and may have an associated pixel circuit for controlling the light-emitting diode. The anodes may be formed from patches of metal arranged in an array on the display. The display pixels may be controlled using data lines and gate lines. The gate lines may control thin-film transistors in the pixel circuits. Gate driver circuitry along the left and right edges of the display may supply signals to the gate lines. The pixel circuits may be located in the center of the display between the gate driver circuitry. Some of the anodes may overlap the pixel circuits and some of the anodes may overlap the gate driver circuitry.

主权项

1. An organic light-emitting diode display, comprising:
a substrate; pixel circuits on the substrate; gate driver circuitry along at least one edge of the substrate; an array of display pixels, wherein the display pixels include anodes that overlap the gate driver circuitry and anodes that overlap the pixel circuits; and a shared cathode layer that overlaps all of the anodes.
