Abstract

A liquid crystal display comprises a first panel. The first panel comprises a first layer comprising an array substrate; a second layer of liquid crystal cells having a sealant at an edge of the second layer; a third layer of color filters comprising sets of filters with first non-emitting spaces between each set; and an edge of the third layer having a second non-emitting space having a length less than (e.g., half) a length of one of the first non-emitting spaces. The sealant and the second non-emitting space have an approximate equal length. An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display can be constructed similarly with edge sealant on an OLED layer having a length less than (e.g., half) a length of a non-emitting area in the OLED layer.

Claims (41)

1 . A liquid crystal display, comprising a first panel, the first panel comprising:

a first layer comprising an array substrate;

a second layer of liquid crystal cells having a sealant at an edge of the second layer;

a third layer of color filters comprising sets of filters with first non-emitting spaces between each set;

an edge of the third layer having a second non-emitting space having a length less than a length of one of the first non-emitting spaces; and

a through hole via in the first layer electrically connected to an external LCD driver circuitry and thin film transistors on a second surface of the first layer.

2 . The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the second non-emitting space has a length of approximately half of a length of one of the first non-emitting spaces.

3 . The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , further comprising a backlight module on a surface of the first layer and an interface contact between a via and an interconnect.

4 . The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the through hole via is beneath the sealant.

5 . The liquid crystal display of claim I, wherein the first and second non-emitting spaces comprise black matrix.

6 . The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , further comprising a second panel substantially similar to the first panel and disposed adjacent the first panel such that a combined length of the second non-emitting space of the first and second panels is approximately equal to the length of one of the first non-emitting spaces.

7 . An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, comprising a first panel, the first panel comprising:

a first layer comprising an array substrate;

a second layer of OLEDs comprising sets of OLEDs with non-emitting spaces between each set, the second layer further having an edge non-emitting space at an edge of the second layer;

wherein the edge non-emitting space has a length less than a length of one of the non-emitting spaces;

a conductive via electrically coupled an interconnect to the second layer, the interconnect located at a first surface of the first layer; and

OLED driver circuitry electrically coupled to the interconnect.

8 . The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 7 , wherein the OLED driver circuitry is electrically coupled to the interconnect through a cable.

9 . The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 8 , wherein the conductive via is through the first layer.

10 . The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 7 further comprising a third layer, wherein the third layer comprises one or more color filters.

11 . The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 7 , further comprising a second panel substantially similar to the first panel, the second panel disposed adjacent to the first panel such that a combined length of edge non-emitting space on respective edges is equal to the length of one of the non-emitting spaces.

12 . A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display, comprising:

providing a first LCD panel including:

a first layer comprising an array substrate;

creating a via in the array substrate and providing electrical conducting material inside the via;

creating an interconnect electrically coupling the via to thin film transistors on a first surface of the array substrate; and

bonding LCD driver circuitry to the interconnect.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the second non-emitting space has a length of approximately half of a length of one of the first non-emitting spaces.

14 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising positioning a backlight module on a second surface of the first layer and an interface contact between the via and the interconnect.

15 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the first and second non-emitting spaces comprise black matrix.

16 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising generating a second LCD panel and aligning the first LCD panel adjacent the second LCD panel such that the second non-emitting space of the third layer of each panel have a combined length of approximately equal to a length of one of the first non-emitting spaces.

17 . A method of manufacturing the organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 7 , comprising:

providing the first panel;

creating a via in the first layer and providing the via with electrical conducting material;
