Abstract

The invention discloses a system for displaying images comprising an organic electroluminescent device. The organic electroluminescent device comprises a pixel area including a plurality of sub-pixels, a switching TFT having a first silicon layer with a first thickness and a driving TFT having a second silicon layer with a second thickness. Each sub-pixel includes a switching region with a switching TFT thereon and a driving region with a driving TFT thereon. Specifically, a difference between the first thickness and the second thickness at least exceeds 10%. Fabrication methods of the system are also provided.

Claims (19)

1. A system for displaying images, comprising:

an active matrix electroluminescent device, comprising:

a pixel area comprising a plurality of sub-pixels, each sub-pixel comprising:

a switching region and a driving region;

a switching TFT having a first silicon layer with a first thickness in the switching region; and

a driving TFT having a second silicon layer with a second thickness in the switching region; wherein a difference between the first thickness and the second thickness at least exceeds 10%.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the difference between the first thickness and the second thickness ranges from 10% to 200%.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the difference between the first thickness and the second thickness ranges from 10% to 150%.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the difference between the first thickness and the second thickness ranges from 10% to 100%.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the difference between the first thickness and the second thickness ranges from 10% to 70%.

6. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the difference between the first thickness and the second thickness ranges from 10% to 40%.

7. The system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second thickness is larger than that of the first thickness.

8. The system as claimed in claim 7 , further comprising an organic light-emitting diode electrically connected to the driving TFT.

9. The system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the organic light-emitting diode comprises an anode electrode, an electroluminescent layer, and a cathode electrode.

10. The system as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising a display panel, wherein the active matrix electroluminescent device forms a portion of the display panel.

11. The system as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising an electronic device, wherein the electronic device comprises:

the display panel; and

an input unit coupled to the display panel and operative to provide input to the display panel such that the display panel displays images.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the electronic device is a mobile phone, digital camera, PDA (personal digital assistant), notebook computer, desktop computer, television, car display, or portable DVD player.
