Abstract

An organic light emitting diode (OLED) device according to the present invention includes a first substrate; a first electrode on the first substrate in the pixel region, the first electrode formed of a metal; an organic light-emitting layer on the first electrode; a second electrode on the organic light-emitting layer, the second electrode formed of a transparent conductive material; and a transparent layer on the second electrode, the transparent layer including an inorganic material or a semiconductor material.

Claims (15)

1. A method for manufacturing an organic light emitting diode (OLED) device having a plurality of pixel regions, the method comprising:

preparing a first substrate;

forming a first electrode on the first substrate in the pixel region, the first electrode formed of a metal being reflective;

forming an organic light-emitting layer on the first electrode;

forming a second transparent electrode on the organic light-emitting layer, the second electrode formed of a transparent conductive material;

forming a second transparent substrate on the second electrode; and

forming a transparent layer on the second transparent electrode and the second transparent substrate, the transparent layer including an inorganic material or a semiconductor material.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising forming a thin film transistor, wherein the first electrode is electrically connected with the thin film transistor.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic material is one of silicon nitride and silicon oxide.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the transparent layer is in a range between about 1500 Å and about 3500 Å.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of pixel regions include Red, Green, and Blue pixel regions, and wherein the transparent layer is formed in each of the Red, Green, and Blue pixel regions.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein a thickness of the transparent layer in at least one of the Red, Green, and Blue pixel regions is different from that of the transparent layers in the other pixel regions.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent layer is formed on an entire surface of the second transparent substrate.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of pixel regions include Red, Green, and Blue pixel regions, and wherein the transparent layer is formed in the Blue pixel regions.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent layer modulates a wavelength-dependent characteristic of a blue light generated from the light-emitting layer.
