1. US9299730B2
- Full Citation: US9299730B2, "Thin film transistor array substrate and organic light-emitting diode display" [cite: Patent text]
- Publication/Filing Date: Priority date: September 19, 2012; Filing date: March 13, 2013; Publication date: March 29, 2016. [cite: Patent text]
- Brief Description: This patent is a direct parent application (continuation of a continuation) to US10720483, sharing the same title and inventors. It describes a thin film transistor array substrate and an organic light-emitting diode display, focusing on a capacitor structure with lower and upper electrodes, where the upper electrode overlaps the entire lower electrode and has an opening, to maintain constant capacitance despite manufacturing overlay deviations. [cite: Patent text]
- Potentially Anticipates Claim(s) under 35 U.S.C. § 102: Given that US9299730B2 is a direct parent patent application, it likely anticipates all claims of US10720483 that were also present in the earlier application. This would include all elements related to the substrate, TFTs, capacitor structure with overlapping electrodes and an opening, insulation layers, contact holes, and connection nodes as described in independent claims 1 and 22, and their dependent claims. [cite: Patent text]
2. US20110025585A1

- Publication/Filing Date: Priority date: July 31, 2009; Publication date: February 3, 2011. [cite: Patent text]
- Brief Description: This publication generally describes a pixel and organic light-emitting display device. It would likely disclose a pixel circuit for an OLED display, including multiple TFTs and a storage capacitor, which are fundamental components of such displays. [cite: Patent text]
- Potentially Anticipates Claim(s) under 35 U.S.C. § 102: This reference likely anticipates the broader aspects of independent claims 1 and 22 of US10720483, specifically the presence of a substrate, a first and second TFT (or a plurality of TFTs), a pixel circuit, and a capacitor for driving an OLED, as these are common elements in OLED display technology prior to the priority date. It may also anticipate the general arrangement of insulating layers and the formation of TFTs. However, it is unlikely to anticipate the specific capacitor structure with an upper electrode completely overlapping a lower electrode and featuring an opening for a contact hole, which is a distinguishing feature of US10720483. [cite: Patent text]

- Potentially Anticipates Claim(s) under 35 U.S.C. § 102: Given its publication date is close to the priority date of US10720483, this reference might present more advanced OLED display configurations. It could potentially anticipate various general structural features described in claims 1 and 22 of US10720483, especially concerning the basic arrangement of TFTs and capacitors. However, without a detailed analysis of its figures and specific descriptions, it's not certain if it directly anticipates the unique capacitor structure for addressing overlay deviation.
