OLED pixel structure and method for manufacturing the same
An organic light emitting display (OLED) pixel structure is provided to improve 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. Therefore, the area of each sub-pixel is reduced and the resolution of a display is increased.
1. An organic light-emitting device (OLED) pixel structure, comprising:
a substrate;
a plurality of thin-film transistors formed on the substrate;
a plurality of deposited regions defined on the plurality of thin-film transistors; and
an organic electro-luminescent (EL) layer formed on the deposited regions,
wherein each of the deposited regions coated with the organic electro-luminescent material is equally divided into a plurality of sub-pixels, each sub-pixel respectively corresponding to a pixel, and
wherein the colors of any two immediately adjacent sub-pixels that respectively correspond to any two immediately adjacent pixels are the same.
2. The OLED pixel structure as recited in claim 1 , wherein the organic electro-luminescent (EL) layer is formed using an evaporation process.
3. The OLED pixel structure as recited in claim 1 , wherein the organic electro-luminescent layer comprises an organic electro-luminescent material for red, an organic electro-luminescent material for green and an organic electro-luminescent material for blue.
4. The OLED pixel structure as recited in claim 1 , wherein the organic electro-luminescent layer comprises 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.
5. The OLED pixel structure as recited in claim 1 , wherein the deposited regions with the evaporated organic electro-luminescent layer are adjacent to one another.
6. The OLED pixel structure as recited in claim 1 , wherein the deposited regions and the sub-pixels are rectangular.
7. The OLED pixel structure as recited in claim 1 , wherein an arrangement of the sub-pixels in two immediately adjacent pixels is different.
