Abstract

A display panel includes a substrate including first, second, and third emission areas, an organic insulating layer on the substrate, first, second, and third pixel electrodes on the organic insulating layer, a pixel-defining layer in which first, second, and third openings, and an out-gassing hole are defined. The first, second, and third openings extend to at least a portion of each of the first, second, and third pixel electrodes. First, second, and third emission layers are respectively on the first, second, and third pixel electrodes. The out-gassing hole includes first, second, and third out-gassing holes defined around the first, second, and third openings. An area of the first out-gassing hole is greater than areas of the second and third out-gassing holes.

Claims (16)

1 . A display panel comprising:

a substrate comprising a first emission area, a second emission area, and a third emission area;

an organic insulating layer on the substrate;

a first pixel electrode, a second pixel electrode, and a third pixel electrode on the organic insulating layer;

a pixel-defining layer in which a first opening, a second opening, a third opening, and an out-gassing hole are defined, wherein each of the first opening, the second opening, and the third opening extends to at least a portion of each of the first pixel electrode, the second pixel electrode, and the third pixel electrode; and

a first emission layer, a second emission layer, and a third emission layer respectively on the first pixel electrode, the second pixel electrode, and the third pixel electrode,

wherein the out-gassing hole comprises a first out-gassing hole defined around the first opening, a second out-gassing hole defined around the second opening, and a third out-gassing hole defined around the third opening, and

an area of the first out-gassing hole is greater than an area of the second out-gassing hole and the area of the first out-gassing hole is greater than an area of the third out-gassing hole.

2 . The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the area of the second out-gassing hole is greater than the area of the third out-gassing hole.

3 . The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the first emission area is a light-emitting area of the first emission layer, the second emission area is a light-emitting area of the second emission layer, and the third emission area is a light-emitting area of the third emission layer.

4 . The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the area of the first emission area is less than the area of the second emission area, and the area of the second emission area is less than the area of the third emission area.

5 . The display panel of claim 3 , wherein distances between edges of the first opening, the second opening, and the third opening extending in a first direction to edges of the first emission area, the second emission area, and the third emission area extending in the first direction are a same as each other, the distances being measured in a second direction crossing the first direction.

6 . The display panel of claim 1 , wherein green light, red light, and blue light are emitted from the first emission area, the second emission area, and the third emission area, respectively.

7 . The display panel of claim 1 , further comprising a first protective layer, a second protective layer, and a third protective layer respectively on the first pixel electrode, the second pixel electrode, and the third pixel electrode, except for portions of the first pixel electrode, the second pixel electrode, and the third pixel electrode to which the first opening, the second opening, and the third opening of the pixel-defining layer extend.

8 . The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the pixel-defining layer comprises an inorganic material.

9 . The display panel of claim 1 , further comprising an opposite electrode on the first emission layer, the second emission layer, and the third emission layer.
