Distortion tolerant pixel design

摘要

A method of manufacturing a flexible display is provided, which includes depositing a first layer comprising a plurality of thin film transistors (TFTs) on a flexible substrate and depositing a second layer comprising a plurality of pixel electrodes above the first layer with each pixel electrode connected to a respective TFT via a respective via connector between the first and second layers. A display medium responsive to signals on the pixel electrode can be deposited on the second layer for displaying an image on the second layer. A third layer comprising color filters for filtering an image displayed on the display medium can be aligned to the second layer. The third layer can be deposited and aligned on the second layer such that each color filter is substantially aligned to a respective pixel electrode to compensate for distortions in the first layer caused by distortions in the flexible substrate.

1. A method of manufacturing a flexible display comprising:
depositing a first layer comprising a plurality of thin film transistors (TFTs) on a flexible substrate; depositing a second layer above said first layer, said second layer comprising a plurality of pixel electrodes, each of said pixel electrodes being connected to a respective TFT via a respective via connector between said first and second layers; depositing a display medium for displaying an image on said second layer, said display medium being responsive to signals on said pixel electrode; aligning a third layer to said second layer, said third layer comprising a plurality of colour filters for filtering an image displayed on said display medium; and depositing said third layer on said second layer, wherein said third layer is aligned to said second layer such that each of said colour filters is substantially aligned to a respective pixel electrode, and wherein said alignment compensates for distortions in said first layer caused by distortions in said flexible substrate.
