Abstract

Making an OLED display, includes forming a first storage plate and a gate insulating layer covering the first storage plate on a substrate; sequentially forming a second storage plate covering the first storage plate and a capacitor intermediate in the gate insulating layer; forming a first doping region by injecting an impurity to a part that is not covered by the capacitor intermediate in the first storage plate; forming an interlayer insulating layer having a capacitor opening exposing the capacitor intermediate, and a plurality of erosion preventing layers on an edge of the capacitor intermediate toward the first doping region in the capacitor opening; removing the capacitor intermediate including the erosion preventing layer and a lower region of the erosion preventing layer, and injecting an impurity in the first storage plate through the second storage plate to form a second doping region contacting the first doping region.

Claims (24)

1. An organic light emitting diode display, comprising:

a substrate;

an organic light emitting element on the substrate;

a plurality of thin film transistors for driving the organic light emitting element; and

a capacitor including a first storage plate and a second storage plate on the first storage plate with a gate insulating layer therebetween, the capacitor being connected to the thin film transistor, wherein the first storage plate includes:

a first doping region;

a plurality of non-doping regions contacting the first doping region; and

a second doping region contacting the first doping region through gaps between the non-doping regions.

2. The organic light emitting diode display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

the first storage plate is formed in a line pattern, and

the non-doping regions are separately positioned from each other in the width direction of the first storage plate.

3. The organic light emitting diode display as claimed in claim 2 , wherein:

the first doping region and the second doping region are connected in the length direction of the first storage plate.

4. The organic light emitting diode display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

the second storage plate is positioned in the non-doping regions and the second doping region.

5. The organic light emitting diode display as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising:

an interlayer insulating layer including a storage plate opening for exposing part of the second storage plate on the second storage plate, wherein

the storage plate opening is formed to be wider than the second storage plate.

6. The organic light emitting diode display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

the thin film transistor includes a switching thin film transistor and a drive thin film transistor, and

the drive thin film transistor includes a drive gate electrode electrically connected to the first doping region.

7. The organic light emitting diode display as claimed in claim 5 , wherein:

the interlayer insulating layer forms a contact hole in the second storage plate, and

the organic light emitting diode display further comprises a common voltage line formed in the interlayer insulating layer and electrically connected to the second storage plate through the contact hole.
