Abstract

An organic light-emitting display apparatus for selectively realizing circular polarization according to external light conditions, including a substrate; an organic light-emitting device on the substrate; a sealing member on the organic light-emitting device; a phase retardation layer on a surface of the substrate, the organic light-emitting device, or the sealing member; and a linear polarization layer on another surface of the substrate, the organic light-emitting device, or the sealing member, wherein the linear polarization layer is located to be closer to a source of external light than the phase retardation layer, and wherein the linear polarization layer comprises a photochromic material.

Claims (14)

1. An organic light-emitting display apparatus comprising:

a substrate;

an organic light-emitting device on the substrate;

a sealing member on the organic light-emitting device;

a phase retardation layer on a surface of the substrate; and

a linear polarization layer on another surface of the substrate or a surface of the phase retardation layer,

wherein the linear polarization layer is located to be closer to a source of external light than the phase retardation layer, and

wherein the linear polarization layer comprises a photochromic material.

2. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the phase retardation layer is on the substrate,

wherein the organic light-emitting device is on the phase retardation layer, and

wherein the linear polarization layer is on the surface of the substrate opposite to the surface of the substrate on which the phase retardation layer is located.

3. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the phase retardation layer and the linear polarization layer are sequentially arranged in the stated order on the surface of the substrate opposite to the surface of the substrate on which the organic light-emitting device is located.

4. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the phase retardation layer comprises a quarter-wave plate or a half-wave plate.

5. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the linear polarization layer comprises a plurality of wire grids that are spaced apart from each other.
