Abstract
This invention provides a top-emitting OLED display device that includes a substrate; an array of OLED elements disposed on one side of the substrate; and a desiccant material provided in a patterned arrangement over the array of OLED elements on the same side of the substrate such that the desiccant material does not interfere with the light emitted by the OLED elements.

A top-emitting OLED display device comprising:
- a) a substrate;
- b) an array of OLED elements disposed over one side of the substrate wherein the light-emitting area of each OLED element defines a light-emitting pixel area;
- and
- c) desiccant material provided in a patterned arrangement over the array of OLED elements on the same side of the substrate, such that the desiccant material is provided between the light-emitting pixel areas.
1 more element
A top-emitting OLED display device comprising:
- a) a substrate;
- b) an array of thin film transistors provided over the substrate;
- c) a patterned first insulating layer provided over the array of thin film transistors;
- d) an array of first electrodes in electrical contact with the thin film transistors;
