Abstract

An active organic electroluminescence panel display and a fabricating method thereof are disclosed. A thin film transistor array comprising a plurality of thin film transistors, a plurality of datalines and a plurality of scanlines are formed on a substrate. A passivation layer is formed on the substrate, covering the thin film transistor array. A contact opening is formed in the passivation layer for exposing a prescribed area of the array. An anode layer is formed on the passivation layer and fills into the contact opening. A blank layer is formed on the anode, covering the contact opening. A shadow mask is disposed on the blank layer. Then, a sputtering process is performed to form an organic luminescent layer. The shadow mask is then removed, and a cathode layer is formed on the organic luminescent layer for forming an active organic electroluminescence panel display.

Claims (12)

1. An active organic electroluminescence panel display, comprising:

a thin film transistor array on a substrate, wherein the thin film transistor array comprises a plurality of thin film transistors, a plurality of scan lines and a plurality of data lines;

a passivation layer on the thin film transistor array, wherein the passivation layer comprises a contact opening exposing a prescribed area thereof;

an anode layer on the passivation layer, filling within the contact opening;

a blank layer on the anode layer, covering the contact opening;

an organic luminescent layer on the anode layer and an area of the passivation layer which are uncovered by the anode layer and the blank layer; and

a cathode layer on the organic luminescent layer.

2. The active organic electroluminescence panel display of claim 1 , wherein the blank layer includes a photo-sensitive material.

3. The active organic electroluminescence panel display of claim 1 , wherein the blank layer has a thickness from about 0.5 μm to about 3 μm.

4. The active organic electroluminescence panel display of claim 1 , further comprising a planarization layer on the passivation layer, the contact opening formed within the passivation layer and the planarization layer.

5. The active organic electroluminescence panel display of claim 4 , wherein the planarization layer is an organic material.

6. The active organic electroluminescence panel display of claim 1 , wherein a sidewall of the anode layer is a slope.
