Abstract

An organic light-emitting display apparatus includes an organic light-emitting device including a pixel electrode, an opposite electrode facing the pixel electrode, and an organic light-emitting layer interposed between the pixel electrode and the opposite electrode; a first polarization plate disposed on a surface of the organic light-emitting device, the organic light-emitting device being configured to emit light through the first polarization plate; a second polarization plate facing the first polarization plate; and an optical compensation member between the first polarization plate and the second polarization plate.

Claims (23)

1. An organic light-emitting display apparatus comprising:

an organic light-emitting device comprising a pixel electrode, an opposite electrode facing the pixel electrode, and an organic light-emitting layer interposed between the pixel electrode and the opposite electrode;

a first polarization plate disposed on a surface of the organic light-emitting device, the organic light-emitting device being configured to emit light through the first polarization plate;

a second polarization plate facing the first polarization plate, wherein an angle between an absorbing axis of the first polarization plate and an absorbing axis of the second polarization plate is about zero degrees; and

an optical compensation member between the first polarization plate and the second polarization plate.

2. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a phase retardation layer interposed between the organic light-emitting device and the first polarization plate.

3. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the phase retardation layer comprises a single quarter wave plate.

4. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the phase retardation layer comprises a single quarter wave plate and a single half wave plate.

5. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising an encapsulation member between the organic light-emitting device and the phase retardation layer.

6. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the optical compensation member comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of an A-plate, a C-plate, a biaxial plate, and combinations thereof.

7. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the optical compensation member comprises two A-plates.

8. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the two A-plates are orthogonal to each other, and an in-plane retardation value of each of the two A-plates is in a range from about 150 nm to about 300 nm.

9. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the optical compensation member comprises a single A-plate.

10. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein an in-plane retardation value of the A-plate is in a range from about 500 nm to about 700 nm.

11. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the optical compensation member comprises a single C-plate.

12. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 11 , wherein a thickness retardation value of the C-plate is in a range from about 150 nm to about 250 nm.

13. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the optical compensation member comprises a single biaxial plate.

14. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 13 , wherein an in-plane retardation value of the biaxial plate is in a range from about 100 nm to about 150 mm.

15. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the optical compensation member comprises two biaxial plates.

16. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the two biaxial plates are orthogonal to each other, and an in-plane retardation value of each of the two biaxial plates is in a range from about 50 nm to about 300 nm.

17. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the optical compensation member comprises a single A-plate and a C-plate that are sequentially disposed along a direction away from the organic light-emitting device.

18. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the optical compensation member comprises a single biaxial plate and a single C-plate that are sequentially disposed along a direction away from the organic light-emitting device.

19. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the optical compensation member comprises a single A-plate and a single biaxial plate that are sequentially disposed along a direction away from the organic light-emitting device.
