ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DISPLAY DEVICE
An organic light emitting display device is disclosed. In certain embodiments, the display has improved quality and lower cost because the subpixels of the display are oriented to have their longer sides parallel to the longer sides of the display. With the orientation, during crystallization of the subpixels, laser radiation is projected across the display device in a direction parallel to the short sides of the display device. Accordingly, less expensive laser equipment producing a shorter beam width may be used.
1 . An organic light emitting display device comprising:
a display panel, comprising:
pixels connected to scan lines and data lines,
an upper side,
a lower side,
a right side, and
a left side,
wherein the upper and lower sides are longer than the right and left sides;
a scan driver configured to supply scan signals to the scan lines; and
a data driver configured to supply data signals to the data lines,
wherein each of the pixels includes R-, G-, and B-subpixels arranged in the vertical direction, and wherein each of the subpixels includes upper and lower sides which are longer than right and left sides, such that the right and left sides of the subpixels are substantially parallel to the right and left sides of the display panel.
2 . The organic light emitting display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the scan lines are substantially parallel to the long sides of the display panel and the data lines are substantially parallel to the short sides of the display panel.
3 . The organic light emitting display device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the scan driver is disposed at the right or left side of the display panel and the data driver is disposed at the upper or lower side of the display panel.
4 . The organic light emitting display device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each of the pixels is connected to a single scan line and three data lines and R-, G-, and B-subpixels in each of the pixels are commonly connected to the single scan line and respectively connected to the three data lines.
5 . The organic light emitting display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein transistors included in each of the R-, G-, and B-subpixels are formed with a crystallization process, and the crystallization process includes projecting laser radiation parallel to the short sides of the display panel.
