Abstract

The organic light-emitting display device includes: a substrate including a transistor region; and a thin-film transistor formed over the transistor region of the substrate and having a planarization film which is disposed over a source/drain electrode and a pixel defining layer which includes an aperture exposing a portion of a first electrode electrically connected to the source/drain electrode and defining a pixel region, wherein an outgassing hole is formed in a region of the pixel defining layer other than the aperture to expose the planarization film.

Claims (13)

1. An organic light-emitting display device comprising:

a substrate comprising a transistor region; and

a thin-film transistor formed over the transistor region of the substrate and comprising a planarization film which is disposed over a source/drain electrode and a pixel defining layer which comprises an aperture exposing a portion of a first electrode electrically connected to the source/drain electrode and defining a pixel region,

wherein at least two outgassing holes are formed in a region of the pixel defining layer other than the aperture and only adjacent to each of a first edge and a second edge of the pixel region, and wherein an organic passivation film is formed on a selective area over the pixel defining layer to cover edges of the at least two outgassing holes,

wherein the first edge and the second edge face each other.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the at least two outgassing holes comprise a plurality of outgassing holes.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of outgassing holes are arranged at predetermined intervals along a direction that is parallel to the first or second edge of the pixel region.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein edges of the at least two outgassing holes are rounded.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode is made of a material containing one or more of ITO and IZO.

6. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

an organic light-emitting layer formed over the first electrode of the pixel region; and

a second electrode formed over the organic light-emitting layer.

7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the organic passivation film has a curved surface.
