Abstract

The present invention relates to an organic light emitting device including a substrate, an insulating layer disposed on the substrate, a first electrode disposed on the insulating layer, an organic light emitting member disposed on the first electrode, and a second electrode disposed on the organic light emitting member. The insulating layer includes a furrow corresponding to at least one edge of the first electrode, and at least a portion of the second electrode is disposed in the furrow.

Claims (40)

1. An organic light emitting device, comprising:

a substrate;

an insulating layer disposed on the substrate;

a first electrode disposed on the insulating layer;

an organic light emitting member disposed on the first electrode; and

a second electrode disposed on the organic light emitting member,

wherein the insulating layer comprises a furrow corresponding to entire edges of the first electrode, and at least a portion of the second electrode is disposed in the furrow.

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

a thin film transistor disposed between the insulating layer and the substrate,

wherein the furrow includes a through portion passing through the insulating layer and exposing the thin film transistor, and the first electrode is connected to the thin film transistor through the through portion.

3. The organic light emitting device of claim 2 , wherein:

the through portion of the furrow is deeper than the remaining portion of the furrow.

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

the furrow corresponds to the edge of the first electrode.

5. The organic light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein:

the second electrode comprises a reflective metal.

6. The organic light emitting device of claim 5 , wherein:

the organic light emitting member comprises an emission layer.

7. The organic light emitting device of claim 6 , wherein:

the emission layer comprises a plurality of sub-emission layers to emit light having different wavelengths, and

the sum of the light of the different wavelengths forms a white light.

8. The organic light emitting device of claim 7 , further comprising:

a color filter disposed between the substrate and the insulating layer.

9. The organic light emitting device of claim 6 , wherein:

the emission layer emits red light, green light, blue light, or white light.

10. An organic light emitting device, comprising:

a substrate;

a color filter disposed on the substrate;

an insulating layer disposed on the color filter;

a first electrode disposed on the insulating layer;

an organic light emitting member disposed on the first electrode; and

a second electrode disposed on the organic light emitting member,

wherein the insulating layer and the color filter comprise a furrow corresponding to the entire perimeter of the first electrode, and at least a portion of the second electrode is disposed in the furrow.

11. The organic light emitting device of claim 10 , further comprising:

a thin film transistor disposed between the color filter and the substrate,

wherein the furrow includes a through portion passing through the insulating layer and the color filter and exposing the thin film transistor, and the first electrode is connected to the thin film transistor through the through portion.

12. The organic light emitting device of claim 11 , wherein:

the through portion of the furrow is deeper than the remaining portion of the furrow.

13. The organic light emitting device of claim 10 , wherein:

the second electrode comprises a reflective metal.
