Abstract
A passive-matrix pixel light emitting display structure and a method of making same. The display structure includes display area formed on a substrate. A set of busses is provided over the substrate that extends from an edge of the substrates across a predetermined portion of the substrate. An insulating layer is provided over the busses so that only the electrode pad and the end adjacent the edge of the bus is exposed. At least three sets of first electrode segments are located over the entire display area, each set of first electrode segments extending for only a portion of the length of the substrate and each of the first electrode segments designed to be active in a different portion of the display area. One or more layers of materials wherein at least one of which comprises light-emissive materials, is located over the first electrode segments. At least three sets of second electrode segments are located over the one or more layers of organic materials and entire display area and each set of the second electrode segments being designed to be active in a different portion of the display area. One of the three sets of second electrode segments being in contact with the exposed electrode busses, each of the first set of first electrode segments being associated with one set of the three sets of second electrode segments so as to form a plurality of display segments in the display area.
