Abstract

Provided are an organic light emitting display device and a method of manufacturing the same. The organic light emitting display device includes a substrate; an sealing substrate facing the substrate, an organic light emitting unit disposed between the substrate and the sealing substrate and having a plurality of organic light emitting devices emitting light, and a plurality of grooves formed in a light extracting surface of the organic light emitting display device through which the light is emitted to the outside. In one embodiment, the grooves are formed on the sealing substrate, and in another embodiment, the grooves are formed on the substrate.

Claims (17)

1. An organic light emitting display device comprising:

a substrate;

a sealing substrate facing the substrate;

an organic light emitting unit disposed between the substrate and the sealing substrate, the organic light emitting unit including a plurality of organic light emitting devices for emitting light; and

a plurality of grooves formed in a light extracting surface of the organic light emitting display device through which the light is emitted to an exterior of the organic light emitting display device, one of the grooves being aligned with one of the organic light emitting devices.

2. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the light extracting surface is a surface of the sealing substrate that is directed to the exterior of the organic light emitting display device.

3. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the light extracting surface is a surface of the substrate that is directed to the exterior of the organic light emitting display device.

4. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the grooves are regularly arranged.

5. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the grooves are irregularly arranged.

6. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the grooves are concave with respect to the light extracting surface.

7. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the grooves are formed in the form of concave lenses.

8. The organic light emitting display device of claim 7 , wherein the grooves are formed in the form of spherical concave lenses.

9. The organic light emitting display device of claim 7 , wherein the grooves are formed in the form of oval concave lenses.

10. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the grooves are concavely formed in the form of slits.

11. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the grooves are formed to overlap one another in a continuous arrangement.

12. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the size of the one of the grooves is smaller than the size of the one of the organic light emitting devices.

13. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein a distance between two of the grooves is greater than a distance between two of the organic light emitting devices.
