Introduction

Shiyi Liu is an inventor based in San Jose, California, and is associated with Apple Inc. Her patent work includes a stretchable display design that combines flexible regions with protected display components.

Latest Patents

Liu is named on one patent, 1 patent, titled “Stretchable Display.” The invention describes a display with a stretchable portion containing hermetically sealed rigid pixel islands, connected by flexible interconnect regions. The islands may contain organic light-emitting diode (OLED) pixels.

The design also describes a conductive cutting structure with an undercut, which creates a discontinuity in a conductive OLED layer to help mitigate lateral leakage. This structure may also connect electrically to the OLED cathode and provide its voltage. First and second inorganic passivation layers cover the OLED pixels, with discrete portions of an inkjet-printed organic layer between them.
