Solution Overview

Problem

As organic light emitting diode displays are manufactured with higher resolution and larger areas, the increased number of thin film transistors and wirings leads to challenges in minimizing parasitic capacitance and crosstalk between adjacent components, affecting image quality and signal integrity.

Innovation Solution

The use of a substrate with alternating inorganic and organic interlayer insulating layers, specifically with the second interlayer insulating layer having a lower dielectric constant than the first, helps in reducing parasitic capacitance and crosstalk by increasing the distance between the capacitor electrode and the data wire, and suppressing short-circuits, while maintaining precise control over gate voltage for improved image quality.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different dielectric materials with different properties to different locations between the data wire and gate electrode. Specifically, a first dielectric material is used in a first region and a second dielectric material with lower dielectric constant is used in a second region directly between the data wire and gate electrode. This local differentiation reduces parasitic capacitance at the critical interface while maintaining other functional requirements.
