OLED pixel structure and method for manufacturing the same
An organic light emitting display (OLED) pixel structure and a method for manufacturing the same, which can be applied for improving the resolution of an OLED without significantly changing the current OLED manufacturing process. With a novel pixel arrangement and circuit layout, an organic light emitting material is evaporated onto a substrate through a mask and thus a plurality of sub-pixels are formed simultaneously while enabling each sub-pixel to correspond to different pixels. Thereby, the area of each sub-pixel is reduced and the resolution of a display is increased.
1. A method for manufacturing an organic light-emitting device (OLED) pixel structure, comprising steps of:
providing a substrate;
forming a plurality of thin-film transistors on the substrate;
defining a plurality of deposited regions on the plurality of thin-film transistors; and
evaporating an organic electro-luminescent (EL) material through an opening of a shadow mask onto at least two of the deposited regions,
wherein each of the deposited regions with the evaporated organic electro-luminescent material is equally divided into a plurality of sub-pixels, each sub-pixel respectively corresponding to a pixel, an arrangement of the sub-pixels in two immediately adjacent pixels being different, wherein the colors of any two immediately adjacent sub-pixels that respectively correspond to any two immediately adjacent pixels are the same.
2. The method for manufacturing an OLED pixel structure as recited in claim 1 , wherein the organic electro-luminescent material is one of an organic electro-luminescent material for red, an organic electro-luminescent material for green, an organic electro-luminescent material for blue and an organic electro-luminescent material for white.
3. The method for manufacturing an OLED pixel structure as recited in claim 1 , wherein the deposited regions with the evaporated organic electro-luminescent material are adjacent to one another.
4. The method for manufacturing an OLED pixel structure as recited in claim 1 , wherein the pixel comprises a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel and a blue sub-pixel.
5. The method for manufacturing an OLED pixel structure as recited in claim 1 , wherein the pixel comprises a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, a blue sub-pixel and a white sub-pixel.
6. The method for manufacturing an OLED pixel structure as recited in claim 1 , wherein the deposited regions and the sub-pixels are rectangular.
