Abstract

A light emitting display device includes a plurality of sub-pixels each including an emission area and a non-emission area, an anode including a first transparent electrode and a second transparent electrode at each of the plurality of sub-pixels, to overlap with the emission area and a portion of the non-emission area, a plurality of protrusion patterns inside an edge line of the second transparent electrode between the first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode, and a bank to expose the emission area and a first area of the non-emission area.

Claims (32)

1 . A light emitting display device comprising:

a plurality of sub-pixels each including an emission area and a non-emission area;

an anode including a first transparent electrode and a second transparent electrode at each of the plurality of sub-pixels and overlapping with the emission area and a portion of the non-emission area;

a plurality of protrusion patterns disposed inside an edge line of the second transparent electrode between the first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode; and

a bank exposing the emission area and a first area of the non-emission area.

2 . The light emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of protrusion patterns includes a plurality of first protrusion patterns provided along the edge line of the second transparent electrode contacting a boundary of the first area.

3 . The light emitting display device according to claim 2 , wherein the second transparent electrode is provided along surfaces of the plurality of protrusion patterns, except for portions of surfaces of the plurality of first protrusion patterns exposed in the first area, and an area where the plurality of protrusion patterns is not provided.

4 . The light emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode contact each other at an area where the plurality of protrusion patterns is not provided.

5 . The light emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of protrusion patterns includes an inorganic insulating material.

6 . The light emitting display device according to claim 5 , wherein the plurality of protrusion patterns has a lower refractive index than that of the first and second transparent electrodes.

7 . The light emitting display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an intermediate layer and a cathode on the second transparent electrode and the bank; and

a dummy pattern overlapping with the first area,

wherein the dummy pattern comprises a material identical to a material of the intermediate layer, and the dummy pattern is separated from the intermediate layer and the cathode.

8 . The light emitting display device according to claim 7 , wherein the bank exposes the dummy pattern at the first area.

9 . The light emitting display device according to claim 7 , wherein an edge line of the first transparent electrode contacts a lower portion of an edge of the dummy pattern.

10 . The light emitting display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a barrier layer between the second transparent electrode and the bank.

11 . The light emitting display device according to claim 10 , wherein the barrier layer includes a material different from the first and second transparent electrodes.

12 . The light emitting display device according to claim 10 , wherein the barrier layer includes one of molybdenum-titanium (MoTi), titanium (Ti), aluminum (Al), chromium (Cr), gold (Au), and platinum (Pt).

13 . The light emitting display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a thin film transistor connected to the first transparent electrode,

wherein the thin film transistor is disposed at the non-emission area except for the first area.

14 . A light emitting display device comprising:
