Patent ID: 7750558

Claim:
An active-matrix top-emitting OLED display device, comprising: a plurality of light-emitting OLEDs, each having i) a separate first electrode provided for each OLED; ii) a conductive protective electrode common to the plurality of light-emitting OLEDs, the conductive protective electrode comprising a transparent conductive oxide layer having a plurality of ordered and structured layers of molecules closely adjacent and in alignment with neighboring, identical molecules, a resistivity of 10,000 ohms/square or less, and a moisture permeation rate of less than 1×10 −4 gm/m 2 /day, and wherein the conductive protective electrode is a hermetic layer having a thickness less than 100 nm; one or more organic layers formed between the first electrode and conductive protective electrode, at least one organic layer being a light-emitting layer; and a patterned auxiliary electrode having a conductivity greater than that of the conductive protective electrode in electrical contact with the conductive protective electrode.
