Abstract

A donor substrate may include a base substrate, an expansion layer positioned on the base substrate, a light-to-heat conversion layer on the expansion layer, an insulation layer located on the light-to-heat conversion layer, and an organic transfer layer on the insulation layer. The donor substrate may effectively and uniformly transfer the organic transfer layer onto a display substrate of an organic light emitting display device.
