drop inside the active region in the present invention the width w 8 is approximately 7 56 u03bc and this narrow stripe forms a series resistor of approximately 10 u03c9 this width prevents display luminance non uniformity problems by assuring that the voltage drop in the stripe 90 material is no greater outside the active area 58 as inside the active area 58 the width of the anode stripes 90 r 90 g 90 b are increased back to width w 7 in the bus regions in order to accommodate a larger via and therefore a more robust electrical interconnection between the anode stripe and the bus designing the anode stripes 90 in this manner further reduces the cross over area of regions 70 72 74 by a factor of 7 56 227 therefore there is a reduction in the failures caused by defect density of the ilo layer by this factor because there are numerous cross over areas in the entire panel even a small decrease in width between w 8 and w 7 can greatly improve the reliability of the anode plate in the panel of the present invention there are 1023 cross over areas in the green bus 54 and there are 2046 cross over areas in the red bus 56 therefore even in situations where w 8 is only slightly smaller than w 7 such as 1 u03bc which is the minimum design width for a medium resolution printer a large reduction in failures is realized the reduction in the failure rate realized by the structure of the anode stripe 90 shown.
