Abstract

Embodiments provide an organic light emitting diode display. The display includes a substrate, a pixel electrode formed on the substrate, and an organic emissive layer formed on the pixel electrode. A common electrode is formed on the organic emissive layer. In addition, a crystallized light scattering layer is formed on the common electrode. The crystallized light scattering layer may be a crystallized organic or crystallized inorganic layer having a rough surface in order to effectively scatter light and prevent phenomenon, such as Newton's Rings from occurring in the display.

Claims (21)

1. An organic light emitting diode display comprising:

a substrate;

a pixel electrode formed over the substrate;

an organic emissive layer formed over the pixel electrode;

a common electrode formed over the organic emissive layer; and

a light scattering layer formed over the common electrode, the light scattering layer comprising a crystallized top surface which has a roughness value greater than that of a non-crystallized surface of the same material,

wherein the material of the light scattering layer is the same as a material for the organic emissive layer.

2. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the light scattering layer comprises a crystallized organic layer.

3. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the organic emissive layer emits light in a direction of the common electrode to display images.

4. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the crystallized top surface is roughened by crystallization of the material.

5. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 2 , wherein the light scattering layer comprises an organic layer including one or more materials selected from the group comprising a-NPD, NPB, TPD, m-MTDATA, Alq 3 , LiF, PBD, TLTA, and CuPc.

6. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 2 , wherein the light scattering layer is crystallized through heat treatment.

7. An organic light emitting diode display comprising:

a substrate;

an organic emissive layer formed over the substrate;

a light scattering layer formed over the organic emissive layer, the light scattering layer comprises a crystallized top surface which has a roughness value greater than that of the non-crystallized surface of the same material,

wherein the material of the light scattering layer is the same as a material for the organic emissive layer.

8. The organic light emitting diode of claim 7 , wherein the scattering layer comprises an organic material.

9. The organic light emitting diode of claim 7 , wherein the scattering layer comprises a crystallized organic material.

10. The organic light emitting diode of claim 7 , wherein the scattering layer comprises a surface roughness that prevents the occurrence of Newton's rings within the organic light emitting diode display.

11. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 7 , wherein the crystallized top surface is roughened by crystallization of the material.
