Abstract

An organic light emitting display device according to one or more embodiments is provided. An organic light emitting display device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a reinforcement member disposed on a substrate and having a refractive index of greater than about 2.1, a transflective electrode disposed on the reinforcement member and contacting the reinforcement member, a pixel electrode disposed on the transflective electrode and contacting the transflective electrode, an organic light emitting member disposed on the pixel electrode, and a common electrode disposed on the organic light emitting member.

Claims (40)
