Abstract

An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display may have an array of organic light-emitting diode pixels that each have OLED layers interposed between a cathode and an anode. Voltage may be applied tothe anode of each pixel to control the magnitude of emitted light. The conductivity of the OLED layers may allow leakage current to pass between neighboring anodes in the display. To reduce leakage current and the accompanying cross-talk in a display, the pixel definition layer may disrupt continuity of the OLED layers. The pixel definition layer may have a steep sidewall, a sidewall with an undercut, or a sidewall surface with a plurality of curves to disrupt continuity of the OLED layers. A control gate that is coupled to a bias voltage and covered by gate dielectric may be used to form an organic thin-film transistor that shuts the leakage current channel between adjacent anodes on the display.

Description

[0001] This patent application claims priority to Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 507,646, filed May 17, 2017, and Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 635,433, filed February 26, 2018, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety Incorporated into this article. Background technique [0002] The present invention relates generally to electronic devices, and more particularly to electronic devices having displays. [0003] Electronic devices often include displays. For example, an electronic device may have an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display based on organic light emitting diode pixels. In this type of display, each pixel includes a light-emitting diode and a thin-film transistor that controls the application of a signal to the light-emitting diode to produce light. A light emitting diode can include an OLED layer positioned between an anode and a cathode. [0004] In order to emit light from a given pixel in an OLED display, a voltage may ...
