A flexible AMOLED display is disclosed including an OLED stack having an anode layer, a cathode layer and an organic light emitting layer between the anode layer and the cathode layer. A backplane includes a substrate, a plurality of bus lines, and a thin film transistor array. A permeation barrier layer is positioned between the OLED stack and the backplane, and a plurality of vias connect the OLED anode layer to the backplane thin film transistor array. In one embodiment, a neutral plane of the AMOLED display crosses the permeation barrier. In one embodiment, the thickness of at least a portion of the bus lines is greater than the thickness of the cathode layer. A method of increasing the flexibility of an AMOLED display is disclosed. A method of assembling a flexible AMOLED display under a processing temperature of less than 200 degrees Celsius is also disclosed. |
