Abstract

An organic light emitting display apparatus that is transparent and in which transmittance of external light is high and transmittance is locally different. The organic light emitting display apparatus includes: a first region comprising a plurality of pixels for displaying an image, a first transmitting unit, and a second transmitting unit, the first and second transmitting units being for transmitting external light, and the first transmitting unit being formed smaller than the second transmitting unit; and a second region comprising a plurality of pixels for displaying an image and another first transmitting unit for transmitting external light.

Claims (23)

1. An organic light emitting display apparatus comprising:

a substrate with a first display region and a second display region;

the first display region in which an image is displayed and external light penetrates so that an object positioned on the opposite side of the first display region is capable of being observed by a user; and

the second display region in which an image is displayed and external light penetrates so that an object positioned on the opposite side of the second display region is capable of being observed by a user,

wherein transmittance of external light of the second display region is lower than that of the first display region.

2. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second display region is connected to the first display region.

3. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first display region and the second display region form one screen.

4. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second region surrounds the first region.

5. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second display region surrounds the first display region.

6. An organic light emitting display apparatus comprising:

a substrate with a first region and a second region;

the first region comprising a plurality of pixels for displaying an image, a first transmitting unit, and a second transmitting unit, the first and second transmitting units being for transmitting external light, and the first transmitting unit being smaller than the second transmitting unit; and

the second region comprising a plurality of other pixels for displaying an image and another first transmitting unit for transmitting external light.

7. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , comprising a plurality of the first transmitting units comprising the first transmitting unit, the plurality of the first transmitting units respectively located inside the plurality of pixels.

8. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second transmitting unit is located between the plurality of pixels.

9. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second transmitting unit is larger than at least one of the plurality of pixels.

10. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second transmitting unit is connected to the first transmitting unit.

11. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of the pixels comprises an emission unit for displaying an image and a pixel circuit unit electrically connected to the emission unit, and wherein the emission unit and the pixel circuit unit of each of the plurality of pixels overlap each other.

12. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of the pixels comprises an emission unit for displaying an image and a pixel circuit unit electrically connected to the emission unit, and wherein the emission unit and the pixel circuit unit of each of the plurality of pixels do not overlap each other.

13. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of the pixels comprises an emission unit for displaying an image and a pixel circuit unit electrically connected to the emission unit, and wherein the first transmitting unit and the second transmitting unit do not overlap the emission units.

14. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of pixels comprises an emission unit for displaying an image and a pixel circuit unit electrically connected to the emission unit, and wherein the first transmitting unit and the second transmitting unit do not overlap the pixel circuit units.

15. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each of the pixels comprises a first emission unit, a second emission unit, and a third emission unit for emitting light of different colors, respectively, and the first transmitting unit is located to correspond to the first to third emission units of one of the plurality of pixels disposed adjacent to one another.

16. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a common electrode formed over the first and second regions, wherein the common electrode comprises a first opening corresponding to the first transmitting unit and a second opening corresponding to the second transmitting unit.
