Abstract

An organic light emitting display apparatus includes a substrate and a sealing member that are separated from each other; a pixel electrode on the substrate; a pixel defining layer on the pixel electrode and exposing a portion of the pixel electrode; an intermediate layer including a light emitting layer on the exposed portion of the pixel electrode; a facing electrode on the pixel defining layer and the intermediate layer; and a reflection member on a surface of the sealing member facing the substrate and patterned to have an opening portion that exposes the pixel electrode, wherein the opening portion is formed such that a boundary portion of the opening portion is closer to a center of the intermediate layer than a boundary portion of the portion of the pixel electrode exposed by the pixel defining layer.

Claims (20)

1. An organic light emitting display apparatus, comprising:

a substrate and a sealing member that are separated from each other;

a pixel electrode on the substrate;

a pixel defining layer on the pixel electrode and exposing a portion of the pixel electrode;

an intermediate layer comprising a light emitting layer on the exposed portion of the pixel electrode;

a facing electrode on the pixel defining layer and the intermediate layer; and

a reflection member on a surface of the sealing member facing the substrate and patterned to have an opening portion that exposes the pixel electrode, the reflection member not exposing any portion of the pixel defining layer,

wherein the opening portion is formed such that a boundary portion of the opening portion is closer to a center of the intermediate layer than a boundary portion of the portion of the pixel electrode exposed by the pixel defining layer.

2. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a surface area of the opening portion is smaller than a surface area of the portion of the pixel electrode exposed by the pixel defining layer.

3. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein light emitted from the light emitting layer is formed into an image via the sealing member.

4. An organic light emitting display apparatus, comprising:

a substrate and a sealing member that are separated from each other;

a pixel electrode on a first surface of the substrate;

a pixel defining layer on the pixel electrode and comprising a first opening portion that exposes a portion of the pixel electrode;

an intermediate layer comprising a light emitting layer on the exposed portion of the pixel electrode;

a facing electrode on the pixel defining layer and the intermediate layer; and

a reflection member on a second surface of the substrate opposite the first surface and patterned to have a second opening portion that exposes the pixel electrode,

wherein the second opening portion is formed such that a boundary portion of the second opening portion is closer to a center of the intermediate layer than a boundary portion of the first opening portion.

5. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein a surface area of the second opening portion is smaller than a surface area of the first opening portion.

6. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein light emitted from the light emitting layer is formed into an image by emitting the light outside the substrate.
