Abstract

An organic light-emitting display apparatus for selectively realizing circular polarization according to external light conditions, including a substrate; an organic light-emitting device on the substrate; a sealing member on the organic light-emitting device; a phase retardation layer on a surface of the substrate, the organic light-emitting device, or the sealing member; and a linear polarization layer on another surface of the substrate, the organic light-emitting device, or the sealing member, wherein the linear polarization layer is located to be closer to a source of external light than the phase retardation layer, and wherein the linear polarization layer comprises a photochromic material.

Claims (20)

1. An organic light-emitting display apparatus comprising:

a substrate;

an organic light-emitting device on the substrate;

a sealing member on the organic light-emitting device;

a phase retardation layer on a surface of the sealing member; and

a linear polarization layer on another surface of the sealing member, or the phase retardation layer,

wherein the linear polarization layer is located to be closer to a source of external light than the phase retardation layer, and

wherein the linear polarization layer comprises a photochromic material.

2. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the phase retardation layer is on the organic light-emitting device, and

wherein the linear polarization layer is on the phase retardation layer.

3. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sealing member is a transparent substrate, and

wherein the phase retardation layer and the linear polarization layer are sequentially arranged in the stated order on the surface of the sealing member opposite to the surface of the sealing member, which faces the organic light-emitting device.

4. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sealing member is a transparent substrate,

wherein the phase retardation layer is on the surface of the sealing member, which faces the organic light-emitting device, and

wherein the linear polarization layer is on the surface of the sealing member opposite to the surface of the sealing member, on which the phase retardation layer is formed.

5. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sealing member is a transparent substrate,

wherein the linear polarization layer is on the surface of the sealing member, which faces the organic light-emitting device, and

wherein the phase retardation layer is on a surface of the linear polarization layer, which faces the organic light-emitting device.

6. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the phase retardation layer comprises a quarter-wave plate or a half-wave plate.

7. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the linear polarization layer comprises a plurality of wire grids that are spaced apart from each other.
