Abstract

An organic light emitting diode display device and a method of fabricating the organic light emitting diode display device are discussed. The organic light emitting diode display device includes, a plurality of first electrodes extending in a first direction and a second direction; a common line to adjacent plurality of first electrodes; a pixel definition layer disposed at boundaries of the plurality of first electrodes; an adhesive pattern disposed on the common line; a wall on the adhesive pattern and overlapping the common line; an organic layer on the plurality of first electrodes and on the wall; and a second electrode on the organic layer and contacting the common line in a portion under an overhang of the wall, wherein the organic layer is spaced apart from the adhesive pattern by a distance, and wherein the distance is covered by a portion of the second electrode.

Claims (40)

1. An organic light emitting diode display device, comprising:

a plurality of first electrodes connected to a plurality of switching elements, the plurality of first electrodes extending in a first direction and a second direction that are non-parallel;

a common line extending in the first direction and dividing adjacent plurality of first electrodes in the second direction;

a pixel definition layer disposed at boundaries of the plurality of first electrodes;

an adhesive pattern disposed on the common line and extending in the first direction;

a wall on the adhesive pattern and overlapping the common line;

an organic layer on the plurality of first electrodes and on the wall; and

a second electrode on the organic layer and contacting the common line in a portion under an overhang of the wall,

wherein the organic layer is spaced apart from the adhesive pattern by a distance in the second direction, and

wherein the distance is covered by a portion of the second electrode.

2. The organic light emitting diode display device of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive pattern is formed on portions of the common line in the first direction.

3. The organic light emitting diode display device of claim 1 , wherein the portion of the second electrode is separated from the wall by another distance in a third direction that is non-parallel to the first and second directions.

4. The organic light emitting diode display device of claim 1 , further comprising at least one cavity disposed between the wall and the common electrode at locations where the adhesive pattern is absent.

5. The organic light emitting diode display device of claim 4 , wherein the portion of the second electrode is disposed in the at least one cavity.

6. A method of fabricating an organic light emitting diode display device, the method comprising:

forming a plurality of first electrodes connected to a plurality of switching elements, the plurality of first electrodes extending in a first direction and a second direction;

forming a common line to extend in the first direction and to divide adjacent plurality of first electrodes in the second direction;

forming a pixel definition layer at boundaries of the plurality of first electrodes;

forming an adhesive pattern on the common line to extend in the first direction;

forming a wall in the first direction to contact a top surface of the adhesive pattern, wherein a side surface of the wall protrudes beyond the adhesive pattern;

forming an organic layer on the plurality of first electrodes; and

forming a second electrode on the organic layer and under an overhang of the wall,

wherein the organic layer is spaced apart from the adhesive pattern by a distance in the second direction, and

wherein the distance is covered by a portion of the second electrode.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the adhesive pattern is formed on portions of the common line in the first direction.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the portion of the second electrode is separated from the wall by another distance in a third direction that is non-parallel to the first and second directions.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein at least one cavity is disposed between the wall and the common electrode at locations where the adhesive pattern is absent.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the portion of the second electrode is disposed in the at least one cavity.

11. An organic light emitting diode display device, comprising:

a plurality of first electrodes connected to a plurality of switching elements, the plurality of first electrodes extending in a first direction and a second direction that are non-parallel;

a common line extending in the first direction and dividing adjacent plurality of first electrodes in the second direction;

a pixel definition layer disposed at boundaries of the plurality of first electrodes;

an adhesive pattern disposed on the common line and extending in the first direction;

a wall on the adhesive pattern and overlapping the common line;

an organic layer on the plurality of first electrodes and on the wall;

at least one cavity disposed between the wall and the common line at a location of the common line where the adhesive pattern is absent; and

a second electrode on the organic layer and contacting at least a portion of the common line that is within the at least one cavity.

12. The organic light emitting diode display device of claim 11 , wherein the adhesive pattern is formed on portions of the common line in the first direction.

13. The organic light emitting diode display device of claim 11 , wherein the portion of the second electrode is separated from the wall by another distance in a third direction that is non-parallel to the first and second directions.

14. The organic light emitting diode display device of claim 11 , wherein the portion of the second electrode is disposed in the at least one cavity.
