A displayÄ10,40Ü having a plurality of addressable pixels and a method for constructing the same. The displayÄ10,40Ü includes a substrateÄ12Ü having a first conducting layerÄ13Ü thereon. The conducting layer includes a plurality of parallel row electrodes having edges separated by insulating material. A first polymer layerÄ16, 160Ü constructed from one or more thin films overlies the parallel row electrodes. An insulating layerÄ14Ü overlies the polymer layer, the insulating layerÄ14Ü having windowsÄ15Ü therein defining pixels for the displayÄ10,40Ü. The insulating layerÄ14Ü overlies the edges of the row electrodes while providing access to the first polymer layerÄ16, 160Ü in the area of the pixels. A second conducting layerÄ32Ü overlies the insulating layerÄ14Ü and includes a plurality of separated column electrodes. Each column electrode crosses a plurality of the row electrodes and is located over the windowsÄ15Ü in the insulating layerÄ14Ü at points defining the pixels. The second conducting layerÄ32Ü is preferably constructed by depositing a layer of photoresist over the insulating layerÄ14Ü and patterning the layer of photoresist to provide openings extending therethrough. The openings are wider in the portion of the layer nearest to the insulating layerÄ14Ü. This layer acts as a shadow mask for depositing a layer of conducting material. In one embodiment of the invention, a second polymer layerÄ161Ü is located between the insulating layerÄ14Ü and the second conducting layerÄ32Ü. The insulating layerÄ14Ü is preferably constructed from a layer of photoresist that is baked to cross-link the photoresist. The polymer layers include an electroluminescent material, which is preferably based on a polyfluorene. <IMAGE> |
