Abstract

An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display includes a substrate, a pixel electrode on the substrate, an organic light emitting member on the pixel electrode, a common electrode on the organic light emitting member, a thin film encapsulation member covering the common electrode, a black matrix on the thin film encapsulation member, and an upper protection film on the black matrix. The black matrix has a color filter at a location corresponding to the organic light emitting member. A sum of a thickness of the color filter and a distance between the color filter and the organic light emitting member is smaller than a width of the organic light emitting member.

Claims (45)

1. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, comprising:

a substrate;

a pixel electrode on the substrate;

an organic light emitting member on the pixel electrode;

a common electrode on the organic light emitting member;

a thin film encapsulation member covering the common electrode;

a black matrix on the thin film encapsulation member, the black matrix having a color filter at a location corresponding to the organic light emitting member; and

an upper protection film on the black matrix;

a sum of a thickness of the color filter and a distance between the color filter and the organic light emitting member being smaller than a width of the organic light emitting member.

2. The OLED display of claim 1 , further comprising a barrier rib on the substrate, the barrier rib having an opening exposing the pixel electrode,

wherein the width of the organic light emitting member is the same as a width of the opening of the battier rib, which opening is filled with the organic light emitting member.

3. The OLED display of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the thin film encapsulation member is about 1 to about 10 μm.

4. The OLED display of claim 1 , further comprising a first adhesive layer between the thin film encapsulation member and the black matrix.

5. The OLED display of claim 4 , wherein the thickness of the first adhesive layer is about 5 to about 50 μm.

6. The OLED display of claim 4 , wherein the first adhesive layer is formed with a transparent material.

7. The OLED display of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the color filter is about 1 to about 5 μm.

8. The OLED display of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the black matrix is about 1 to about 5 μm.

9. The OLED display of claim 1 , wherein a width of the color filter is greater than the width of the organic light emitting member.

10. The OLED display of claim 9 , wherein an error width that corresponds to a distance between an end portion of the color filter and an end portion of an adjacent organic light emitting member is about 0.5 to about 2 times of the distance between the color filter and the organic light emitting member.

11. The OLED display of claim 10 , wherein the error width is less than about 20% of the width of the organic light emitting member.

12. The OLED display of claim 10 , wherein the error width is about 2 to about 100 μm.

13. The OLED display of claim 1 , wherein the common electrode is a transparent electrode.

14. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, comprising:

a substrate;

a pixel electrode on the substrate;

an organic light emitting member on the pixel electrode;

a common electrode on the organic light emitting member;

a thin film encapsulation member covering the common electrode;

a black matrix under the substrate, the black matrix having a color filter at a location corresponding to the organic light emitting member; and

a lower protection film under the black matrix;

a sum of a thickness of the color filter and a distance between the color filter and the organic light emitting member being smaller than a width of the organic light emitting member.

15. The OLED display of claim 14 , further comprising a barrier rib on the substrate, the barrier rib having an opening exposing the pixel electrode,

wherein the width of the organic light emitting member is the same as a width of the opening of the barrier rib, which opening is filled with the organic light emitting member.

16. The OLED display of claim 14 , further comprising a first adhesive layer between the substrate and the organic light emitting member.

17. The OLED display of claim 16 , wherein a thickness of the first adhesive layer is about 5 to about 50 μm.

18. The OLED display of claim 16 , wherein the first adhesive layer is formed with a transparent material.

19. The OLED display of claim 14 , further comprising an upper protection film on the thin film encapsulation member and a second adhesive layer between the thin film encapsulation member and the upper protection film.

20. The OLED display of claim 14 , wherein the thickness of the color filter is about 1 to about 5 μm.

21. The OLED display of claim 14 , wherein a thickness of the black matrix is about 1 to about 5 μm.

22. The OLED display of claim 14 , wherein a width of the color filter is greater than the width of the organic light emitting member.

23. The OLED display of claim 22 , wherein an error width that corresponds to a distance between an end portion of the color filter and an end portion of an adjacent organic light emitting member is about 0.5 to about 2 times of the distance between the color filter and the organic light emitting member.

24. The OLED display of claim 23 , wherein the error width is less than about 20% of the width of the organic light emitting member.

25. The OLED display of claim 23 , wherein the error width is about 2 to about 100 μm.

26. The OLED display of claim 14 , wherein the substrate is a flexible substrate.

27. The OLED display of claim 14 , wherein the common electrode is a reflective electrode.
