Abstract

An organic light emitting diode display device and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The organic light emitting diode display device includes a substrate having an emission section and a non-emission section, a semiconductor layer located on the substrate, a gate dielectric layer located over an entire front surface of the substrate, a gate electrode located in correspondence to the semiconductor layer, a dielectric layer located over the entire front surface of the substrate, source and drain electrodes and a first electrode located on the dielectric layer and electrically connected to the semiconductor layer, a pixel definition layer exposing a part of the first electrode, a spacer located on the pixel definition layer and located on the non-emission section of the substrate, an organic film layer located on the first electrode, and a second electrode located over the entire front surface of the substrate.

Claims (18)

1. An organic light emitting diode display device, comprising:

a substrate having an emission section and a non-emission section;

a semiconductor layer located on the substrate;

a gate dielectric layer located over an entire front surface of the substrate;

a gate electrode located in correspondence to the semiconductor layer;

a dielectric layer located over the entire front surface of the substrate;

source and drain electrodes and a first electrode located on the dielectric layer and electrically connected to the semiconductor layer, the first electrode being located on the emission section of the substrate;

a pixel definition layer comprised of a silicon-containing inorganic layer having no greater than 18 wt % of silicon, the pixel definition layer defining an opening that exposes a part of the first electrode, the inorganic layer of the pixel definition layer overlaying a region that includes the source electrode and drain electrode;

a spacer comprised of an organic layer, the spacer being located on the pixel definition layer and located on the non-emission section of the substrate;

an organic film layer located within the opening and upon the first electrode; and

a second electrode located over the entire front surface of the substrate,

wherein the spacer does not overlap the organic film layer.

2. The organic light emitting diode display device according to claim 1 , the spacer including one selected from the group consisting of benzo cyclo butene (BCB), polyimide (PI), polyamide (PA), acrylic resin, and phenol resin.

3. The organic light emitting diode display device according to claim 1 , comprised of the pixel definition layer including a silicon nitride layer.

4. The organic light emitting diode display device according to claim 1 , the source and drain electrodes being formed of a same material as the first electrode.

5. The organic light emitting diode display device according to claim 4 , comprised of the source and drain electrodes having a multiple layer in which a metal layer for the source and drain electrodes and a metal layer for the first electrode are stacked.

6. The organic light emitting diode display device according to claim 1 , comprised of the dielectric layer including a mixture layer in which one of a silicon nitride layer, a silicon oxide layer, and a multiple layer thereof is mixed with a layer formed of one selected from the group consisting of BCB, PI, PA, acrylic resin, and phenol resin.

7. The organic light emitting diode display device according to claim 1 , the inorganic layer of the pixel definition layer being in contact with a portion of the organic film layer.
