Abstract

An organic light-emitting display device wherein an IR drop across a first electrode can be prevented. The organic light-emitting display device includes a substrate; a plurality of stripe-shaped first electrodes disposed on the substrate and extending in a first direction; a plurality of stripe-shaped first insulators extending in a second direction to cross the stripe-shaped first electrodes; a plurality of stripe-shaped second electrodes disposed between the stripe-shaped first insulators to extend in the same direction as the stripe-shaped first insulators and cross the stripe-shaped first electrodes; an intermediate layer disposed at positions where the stripe-shaped first electrodes and the stripe-shaped second electrodes cross and including an emission layer; and first conductors disposed at positions where the stripe-shaped first electrodes and the stripe-shaped first insulators intersect and between the stripe-shaped first electrodes and the stripe-shaped first insulators.

Claims (46)

1. An organic light-emitting display device comprising:

a substrate;

first electrodes disposed on the substrate and extending in a first direction;

first insulators extending in a second direction to cross the first electrodes;

second electrodes disposed between the first insulators to extend in the same direction as the first insulators and to cross the first electrodes;

an intermediate layer comprising an emission layer is disposed between the first electrodes and the second electrodes where the first electrodes and the second electrodes cross; and

first conductors disposed at positions where the first electrodes and the first insulators cross and disposed between the first electrodes and the first insulators.

2. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the first conductors are formed of Cr, Mg, Ag, Mo, MoW or Al.

3. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a terminal unit on edges of the substrate.

4. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 3 , wherein terminals of the terminal unit are formed of the same material as the first conductors.

5. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 3 , wherein the terminals of the terminal unit have a multi-layer structure comprising at least two layers.

6. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 5 , wherein the terminals of the terminal unit comprise a first layer which is formed of the same material as the first electrodes and a second layer which is formed of the same material as the first conductors.

7. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the first insulators are formed so as to cover the first conductors.

8. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , further comprising

second insulators disposed between the first electrodes.

9. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 8 , wherein the first insulators and the second insulators are integrally formed.

10. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the first electrodes are transparent.

11. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 10 , wherein the first electrodes are formed of ITO, IZO, ZnO or In 2 O 3 .

12. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , further comprising

second conductors disposed on the first insulators,

wherein the second conductors are formed of the same material as the second electrodes.

13. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second electrodes and the first insulators have a stripe shape or an elongated, strip shape.

14. An organic light-emitting display device, comprising:

a substrate;

first electrodes disposed on the substrate to extend in a first direction;

second electrodes disposed on the substrate to extend in a second direction and to cross the first electrodes;

an intermediate layer disposed at least between the first and second electrodes at locations in which the first and second electrodes cross; and

first conductors disposed on the first electrodes at locations in which the first and second electrodes do not cross.

15. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 14 , further comprising:

second conductors disposed on the second electrodes at locations in which the first and second electrodes do not cross.

16. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 14 , further comprising:

insulators disposed between the first electrodes.

17. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 14 , further comprising:

insulators disposed between the second electrodes.

18. An organic light-emitting display device, comprising:

a substrate;

first electrodes disposed on the substrate to extend in a first direction;

first insulators disposed to cross the first electrodes in a second direction;

first conductors disposed between the first electrodes and the first insulators in locations in which the first electrodes and the first insulators cross;

an intermediate layer disposed between adjacent first insulators and on the first insulators; and

second electrodes disposed on the intermediate layer.

19. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 18 , further comprising:

second insulators disposed between adjacent first electrodes and disposed between the substrate and the intermediate layer or the intermediate layer and the second electrodes.

20. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 18 , further comprising:

second conductors disposed on the second electrodes at locations in which the first and second electrodes do not cross.
