Abstract

An organic light emitting device includes a plurality of colored pixels, and a white pixel, wherein the respective pixels include; a first electrode, a second electrode which faces the first electrode, and a light emitting member disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, and the white pixel further includes; a first semi-transparent member disposed on the first electrode to form a microcavity with the second electrode.

Claims (42)

1. An organic light emitting device comprising:

a plurality of colored pixels, and a white pixel, wherein the respective pixels comprise:

a first electrode;

a second electrode which faces the first electrode; and

a light emitting member disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, and

the white pixel further comprises:

a first semi-transparent member disposed on the first electrode to form a microcavity with the second electrode.

2. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein

the first semi-transparent member is Ag, Al or a combination of Ag and Al.

3. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting member comprises:

a plurality of sub-emitting layers which emit light having different wavelengths; and

the light having different wavelengths are combined to emit a substantially white light.

4. The organic light emitting device of claim 3 , wherein

the white light has a yellowish tint.

5. The organic light emitting device of claim 3 , wherein

the first semi-transparent member is formed at only a portion of a region through which the white light passes.

6. The organic light emitting device of claim 3 , wherein

the plurality of colored pixels includes a red pixel, a green pixel, and a blue pixel, and each of the colored pixels further comprise a color filter formed below the first electrode.

7. The organic light emitting device of claim 3 , wherein

a pixel having the lowest emission efficiency among the plurality of colored pixels further comprises:

a second semi-transparent member disposed on the first electrode to form the microcavity together with the second electrode.

8. The organic light emitting device of claim 7 , wherein

the pixel having the lowest emission efficiency is a blue pixel.

9. The organic light emitting device of claim 7 , wherein

the second semi-transparent member is Ag, Al or a combination of Ag and Al.

10. The organic light emitting device of claim 7 , wherein

the second semi-transparent member is formed over substantially the entire region through which the white light passes.

11. The organic light emitting device of claim 7 , wherein

the plurality of colored pixels comprise a red pixel and a green pixel and the red pixel and the green pixel further comprise a color filter formed below the first electrode.

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

a driving thin film transistor connected to the first electrode including a polycrystalline semiconductor; and

a switching thin film transistor connected to the driving thin film transistor including an amorphous semiconductor.

13. The organic light emitting device of claim 12 , wherein

the driving thin film transistor comprises;

a driving input electrode formed on the polycrystalline semiconductor,

a driving output electrode which faces the driving input electrode on the polycrystalline semiconductor, and

a driving control electrode formed on the driving input electrode and the driving output electrode.

14. The organic light emitting device of claim 13 , wherein

the switching thin film transistor comprises;

a switching control electrode formed below the amorphous semiconductor,

a switching input electrode formed on the amorphous semiconductor, and

a switching output electrode which faces the switching input electrode on the amorphous semiconductor and is connected to the driving control electrode.
