Abstract

An organic light emitting display that can avoid or reduce scratched wires and dark spot defects. The organic light emitting display includes a pixel substrate having an organic light emitting element formed on a pixel region and wires having pads formed around the pixel region, a passivation layer formed on the organic light emitting element and the wires, and an encapsulation substrate formed on the pixel substrate to protect the pixel region.

Claims (27)

1. An organic light emitting display, comprising:

a pixel substrate comprising a pixel region and a peripheral region disposed adjacent to the pixel region;

an interlayer insulation layer disposed on the pixel substrate;

a planarization layer disposed on the interlayer insulation layer;

pads disposed on the interlayer insulation layer and in the peripheral region;

wires disposed between the interlayer insulation layer and the planarization layer and extending from the pads to the pixel region;

an organic light emitting element disposed on the planarization layer and in the pixel region;

a passivation layer disposed on the organic light emitting element and completely covering the planarization layer; and

an encapsulation substrate disposed on the pixel substrate to protect the pixel region.

2. The organic light emitting display of claim 1 , wherein the organic light emitting element comprises a first pixel electrode, an organic emission layer, and a second pixel electrode that are sequentially laminated.

3. The organic light emitting display of claim 2 , wherein the second pixel electrode is formed over the entire surface of the pixel region.

4. The organic light emitting display of claim 3 , wherein the passivation layer is formed over the entire surface of the second pixel electrode.

5. The organic light emitting display of claim 1 , further comprising a thin film transistor, wherein,

the organic light emitting element is formed on the thin film transistor, and

the planarization layer is formed between the organic light emitting element and the thin film transistor to cover the wires and the pads.

6. The organic light emitting display of claim 5 , wherein a via-hole is formed in the planarization layer, and the organic light emitting element is electrically connected to the thin film transistor through the via-hole.

7. The organic light emitting display of claim 5 , wherein the thin film transistor comprises:

an active layer formed on the pixel substrate;

a gate insulation layer formed on the entire surface of the pixel substrate to cover the active layer;

a gate electrode formed on the gate insulation layer;

and

source and drain electrodes formed on the interlayer insulation layer and electrically connected to the active layer through a contact-hole of the interlayer insulation layer,

wherein the interlayer insulation layer covers the gate electrode.

8. The organic light emitting display of claim 7 , wherein the wires and the pads are formed directly on a surface of the interlayer insulation layer that faces away from the pixel substrate.

9. The organic light emitting display of claim 1 , wherein:

the planarization layer and the passivation layer cover the pads and the wires; and

a pad contact-hole is formed in the planarization layer and the passivation layer, so as to expose the pads.
