Abstract

Provided are an organic electro-luminescence display device and a method of manufacturing the same. The organic electro-luminescence display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate facing the first substrate and including an organic electro-luminescence diode, and a sealant interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate to seal the organic electro-luminescence diode from outside and attach the first substrate to the second substrate. Herein, the sealant is formed of a frit glass.

Claims (17)

1. An organic electro-luminescence display device comprising:

a first substrate;

a second substrate facing the first substrate and including an organic electro-luminescence diode;

a thin film transistor disposed on the first substrate to be electrically connected to the organic electro-luminescence diode; and

a sealant interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate to seal the organic electro-luminescence diode from outside and attach the first substrate to the second substrate,

wherein the sealant is formed of a frit glass,

wherein the organic electro-luminescence diode comprises a first electrode formed on the second substrate, a separator disposed on the first electrode, an organic luminescent layer disposed on the first electrode and a second electrode disposed on the organic luminescent layer and the organic electro-luminescence diode is divided into a sub-pixel unit by the separator,

wherein a spacer is disposed on the first electrode corresponding to a sub-pixel,

wherein a region of the second electrode covers the spacer, the region of the second electrode protrudes toward the first substrate by the spacer,

wherein the second substrate includes an auxiliary electrode disposed between the second substrate and the first electrode, the auxiliary electrode lowers the resistance of the first electrode,

wherein the auxiliary electrode is disposed on a non-luminescent region of the second substrate that emit no light,

wherein the first substrate includes a dummy pattern having the same height difference as the thin film transistor,

wherein the dummy pattern comprises a first dummy pattern formed with a gate electrode of the thin film transistor simultaneously, a second dummy pattern formed with a semiconductor layer of the thin film transistor simultaneously and a third dummy pattern formed with a source and drain electrodes of the thin film transistor simultaneously.

2. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a passivation layer disposed on an entire surface of the first substrate having the thin film transistor, and formed of an inorganic insulation layer.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the passivation layer is one of an oxide silicon layer, a nitride silicon layer, and a stacked layer thereof.

4. The device according to claim 2 , further comprising a connection electrode disposed on the passivation layer and electrically connecting the a drain electrode of the thin film transistor to the organic electro-luminescence diode.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the separator has an inverse-tapered shape.
