Abstract

An organic electro-luminance display device includes a first substrate including a plurality of sub-pixels, a first electrode on the first substrate, a buffer layer on the first electrode of a region that partitions each of the sub-pixels, a spacer on the buffer layer, the buffer layer and the spacer being integrally formed, an organic light-emitting layer on the first electrode that corresponds to each of the sub-pixels and the spacer, and a second electrode on the organic light-emitting layer.

Claims (33)

1. An organic electro-luminance display device comprising:

a first substrate including a plurality of sub-pixels;

a first electrode on the first substrate;

a buffer layer on the first electrode of a region that partitions each of the sub-pixels;

a spacer on the buffer layer, the buffer layer and the spacer being integrally formed;

an organic light-emitting layer on the first electrode that corresponds to each of the sub-pixels and the spacer; and

a second electrode on the organic light-emitting layer,

wherein the spacer and the buffer layer are formed by the same material.

2. The organic electro-luminance display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a partition wall separated from the spacer, the partition wall being on the buffer layer.

3. The organic electro-luminance display device according to claim 2 , wherein the partition wall has a reversely tapered shape.

4. The organic electro-luminance display device according to claim 1 , wherein the buffer layer includes: a first buffer layer on a portion of the first electrode of the region that partitions each of the sub-pixels; and a second buffer layer on the first buffer layer and including the spacer.

5. The organic electro-luminance display device according to claim 4 , further comprising: trenches separated from the spacer in the first and second buffer layers, respectively.

6. The organic electro-luminance display device according to claim 5 , wherein the trench has an under-cut shape.

7. The organic electro-luminance display device according to claim 1 , wherein the buffer layer and the spacer include an organic insulating material.

8. The organic electro-luminance display device according to claim 1 , wherein the buffer layer and the spacer include a photosensitive resin.

9. The organic electro-luminance display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an auxiliary electrode between the first substrate of the region that partitions each sub-pixel and the first electrode.

10. The organic electro-luminance display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second substrate facing the first substrate, the second substrate including a thin film transistor corresponding to each of the sub-pixels.

11. The organic electro-luminance display device according to claim 10 , wherein the second electrode of the first substrate is electrically connected to the thin film transistor of the second substrate via the spacer, wherein the second electrode is directly contacted with the drain electrode of the thin film transistor.

12. An organic electro-luminance display device comprising:

a first substrate including a plurality of sub-pixels;

a first electrode on the first substrate;

a buffer layer on the first electrode of a region that partitions each of the sub-pixels;

a spacer on the buffer layer, the buffer layer and the spacer being integrally formed;

a partition wall spaced from the spacer, the partition wall being on the buffer layer;

an organic light-emitting layer on the first electrode corresponding to each of the sub-pixels and the spacer; and

a second electrode on the organic light-emitting layer.

13. The organic electro-luminance display device according to claim 12 , wherein the partition wall has a reversely tapered shape.

14. The organic electro-luminance display device according to claim 12 , further comprising:

a second substrate facing the first substrate, the second substrate including a thin film transistor corresponding to each of the sub-pixels.

15. The organic electro-luminance display device according to claim 14 , wherein the second electrode of the first substrate is electrically connected to the thin film transistor of the second substrate via the spacer.
