Let $$\{X_n\}$$ be an AR(1) process defined by $$X_{n+1}=\rho X_n +\eta_{n+1}$$, where $$0<\rho<1$$ and $$0\leq \eta_n\leq 1$$ are i.i.d. random variables with a continuous distribution. Assume that the support of this distribution has the right endpoint 1. Then it is proved that the stationary distribution of $$X_n$$ is continuous with right endpoint $$(1-\rho)^{-1}$$. If $$\eta_1\sim U[0,1]$$ then a lower bound and an upper bound of the stationary density of $$X_n$$ near the right endpoint are derived as well as bounds for the tail of the stationary distribution. The results are extended to some more general AR(1) processes.
