    Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode display may have an array of pixel circuits. Each pixel circuit may contain an organic light-emitting diode that emits light, a drive transistor that controls current flow through the diode, and additional transistors such as switching transistors for loading data into the pixel circuit and emission transistors for enabling and disabling current flow through the drive transistor and diode. Gate driver circuitry may produce emission control signals that control the emission transistors. Display driver circuitry may generate a start signal with a digitally controlled pulse width. The start signal may be applied to shift register circuitry in the gate driver circuitry. The pulse width of the start signal may be adjusted to adjust the luminance of the display.

    Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode display may have an array of pixels. Each pixel may have an organic light-emitting diode with an anode (44) and cathode (42). The anodes may be formed from a patterned layer of metal. Thin-film transistor circuitry in the pixels may include transistors such as drive transistors (TD) and switching transistors (200). Data lines may supply data signals to the pixels and horizontal control lines may supply control signals to the gates of the transistors. A switching transistor may be coupled between a voltage initialization line (202) and each anode. The voltage initialization lines and capacitor structures in the thin-film transistor circuitry may be formed using a layer of metal that is different than the layer of metal that forms the anodes.

    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.
