Abstract
Embodiments described herein relate to sub-pixel circuits, displays including sub-pixel circuits, and a method of forming sub-pixel circuits that may be utilized in a display such as an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display. Some configurations of the displays described herein, include the sub-pixel circuits and at least one sensor opening adjacent to the overhang structure and an adjacent sub-pixel circuit. The at least one sensor opening includes a sensor disposed thereunder. Other configurations displays described herein, include sub-pixel circuits including OLED sub-pixels and a transparent sub-pixel such that a sensor is disposed thereunder. The configurations described herein utilize sensors that are integrated to increase the transmittance of the display while eliminating the need for bezels and reducing dead zones in the display.
