An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, comprising:
- a substrate having a display area and a non-display area surrounding the display area;
- an inorganic layer formed over the substrate, wherein a portion of the inorganic layer is formed over the non-display area;
- and
- an encapsulation layer formed over the inorganic layer, wherein a portion of the encapsulation layer is formed over the non-display area,
- wherein a plurality of openings are formed in and through the portion of the encapsulation layer and the portion of the inorganic layer, wherein each opening has opposing sides,
- wherein sidewalls of the inorganic layer and sidewalls of the encapsulation layer are aligned with each other, and wherein the opposing sides of each opening are defined by the sidewalls of the inorganic layer and the encapsulation layer,
- wherein the plurality of openings are arranged discontinuously along the edges of the display area, and wherein each of the openings has a closed shape on a plan view, and wherein a top surface of the substrate is exposed by the openings formed in and through the encapsulation layer and the inorganic layer.
