Abstract

An organic light emitting diode display includes a substrate. A control electrode is on the substrate. A gate insulating film covers the control electrode. An input electrode and an output electrode are on the gate insulating film and face each other. An oxide semiconductor is between the input electrode and the output electrode and on the control electrode. A pixel electrode is on portions of the edges of the output electrode and is electrically connected. An organic light emitting member is on the pixel electrode. A common electrode is on the organic light emitting member. The oxide semiconductor and the pixel electrode may be of the same layer.

Claims (23)

1. An organic light emitting diode display, comprising:

a substrate;

a control electrode disposed on the substrate;

a gate insulating film covering the control electrode the gate insulating film having an opening that exposes the substrate;

an input electrode and an output electrode disposed on the gate insulating film and facing each other;

an oxide semiconductor disposed on the input electrode and the output electrode and disposed over the control electrode;

a pixel electrode disposed on and electrically connected to portions of edges of the output electrode;

an organic light emitting member disposed on the pixel electrode;

a common electrode disposed on the organic light emitting member, and

a blocking member covering the opening that exposes the substrate and configured such that light entering lower portions or lateral sides of the oxide semiconductor is blocked,

wherein the pixel electrode comprises the same material as the oxide semiconductor.

2. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the pixel electrode comprises hydrogen injected into a portion of the pixel electrode.

3. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 2 , further comprising an insulation film covering the oxide semiconductor and having an opening that exposes the pixel electrode, and

wherein the organic light emitting member is disposed in the opening that exposes the pixel electrode.

4. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 3 , wherein the insulation film comprises a black pigment.

5. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 3 , wherein a surface of the pixel electrode is plasma treated.

6. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the blocking member comprises a black pigment.

7. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the blocking member is made of a same material as the input electrode and the output electrode.

8. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein a width of the oxide semiconductor is smaller than a width of the input electrode and a width of the output electrode.

9. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the pixel electrode is formed directly on the portions of edges of the output electrode.

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

the pixel electrode has a length that extends in a first direction and a length that extends in a second direction, the length that extends in the first direction being greater than the length that extends in the second direction; and

a driving voltage line is connected to the input electrode, the driving voltage line being substantially parallel to the pixel electrode length that extends in the first direction.
