Abstract: A display may have an array of organic light-emitting diode display pixels. Each display pixel may have a light-emitting diode that emits light under control of a drive transistor. Each display pixel may also have control transistors for compensating and programming operations. The array of display pixels may have rows and columns. Row lines may be used to apply row control signals to rows of the display pixels. Column lines (data lines) may be used to apply display data and other signals to respective columns of display pixels. A bottom conductive shielding structure may be formed below each drive transistor. The bottom conductive shielding structure may serve to shield the drive transistor from any electric field generated from the adjacent row and column lines. The bottom conductive shielding structure may be electrically floating or coupled to a power supply line.

Abstract: An electronic device display may have an array of pixel circuits. Each pixel circuit may include an organic light-emitting diode and a drive transistor. Each drive transistor may be adjusted to control how much current flows through the organic light-emitting diode. Each pixel circuit may include one or more additional transistors such as switching transistors and a storage capacitor. Semiconducting oxide transistors and silicon transistors may be used in forming the transistors of the pixel circuits. The storage capacitors and the transistors may be formed using metal layers, semiconductor structures, and dielectric layers. Some of the layers may be removed along the edge of the display to facilitate bending. The dielectric layers may have a stepped profile that allows data lines in the array to be stepped down towards the surface of the substrate as the data lines extend into an inactive edge region.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a flexible display with portions that can be bent. The display may include an array of display pixels in an active area. Contact pads may be formed in an inactive area of the display. Display circuitry in the active area may exhibit a given stack height, whereas display circuitry in the inactive area may exhibit a stack height that is less than the given stack height. In particular, the contact pads may be formed directly on a multi-buffer layer that sits directly on a flexible display substrate. Passivation material may be selectively formed only at the edges of the contact pad on the multi-buffer layer. The multi-buffer layer may be formed at a distance from the edge of the flexible display substrate to minimize cracking in the multi-buffer layer.
