Abstract

An organic light emitting diode device includes an organic layer formed of a hole transport material or a hole injection material having a photocurable group. Therefore, the organic light emitting diode device can be formed using a wet process that is simple and can be used for a large substrate. Furthermore, the organic layer and an organic light emitting layer are less affected by a solvent. Thus, the lifespan of the organic light emitting diode device is increased and there is more freedom in selecting materials for the organic layer and the organic light emitting layer. A method of manufacturing the organic light emitting diode device is also disclosed.
