Abstract

An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display includes a first electrode including a conductive black layer, a second electrode facing the first electrode, and an organic emission layer provided between the first electrode and the second electrode.

Claims (23)

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

a first electrode including a first electrically conductive layer bearing a black coating of an electrically conductive metal sulfide;

a second electrode facing the first electrode; and

an organic emission layer provided between the first electrode and the second electrode.

2. The organic light emitting diode display device of claim 1 , wherein the first electrically conductive layer provided between the black coating and the organic emission layer.

3. The organic light emitting diode display device of claim 2 , wherein the first electrically conductive layer has a lesser work function than the second electrode.

4. The organic light emitting diode display device of claim 3 , wherein the first electrically conductive layer is light reflective.

5. The organic light emitting diode display device of claim 4 , wherein the first electrically conductive layer is thinner than the black coating.

6. The organic light emitting diode display device of claim 2 , wherein the first electrically conductive layer has a greater work function than the second electrode.

7. The organic light emitting diode display device of claim 6 , wherein the first electrically conductive layer is light opaque.

8. The organic light emitting diode display device of claim 2 , wherein the first electrode further includes a second electrically conductive layer separated from the organic emission layer with the black coating disposed therebetween.

9. The organic light emitting diode display device of claim 8 , wherein the black coating is formed by heat treating the second conductive layer under a sulfur (S) atmosphere.

10. The organic light emitting diode display device of claim 1 , wherein the black coating includes silver sulfide (Ag 2 S).

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

a first substrate;

a second substrate facing the first substrate; and

an organic light emitting element provided between the first substrate and the second substrate, and including a first electrode including a first electrically conductive layer bearing a black coating of an electrically conductive metal sulfide, a second electrode facing the first electrode, and an organic emission layer provided between the first electrode and the second electrode.

12. The organic light emitting diode display device of claim 2 , wherein a reflectance of the black coating is in a range of 0% to 10%.

13. The organic light emitting diode display device of claim 2 , wherein a transmittance of the first electrically conductive layer is in a range of 10% to 99%.

14. The organic light emitting diode display device of claim 2 , wherein a reflectance of the black coating is less than a reflectance of the first electrically conductive layer.

15. An electrode of an organic light emitting diode display device having a metal layer bearing a black coating of a metal sulfide.

16. The electrode of claim 15 , wherein the metal sulfide is silver sulfide (Ag 2 S).

17. The electrode of claim 15 , wherein the metal sulfide is formed by heat treating a metal under sulfur (S) atmosphere.
