Abstract

An organic light emitting diode display includes a substrate; a gate wire on the substrate; an interlayer insulating layer covering the gate wire; a data wire on the interlayer insulating layer; a passivation layer on the data wire and the interlayer insulating layer and having a protection opening; a pixel electrode on a first wiring portion of the data wire exposed through the protection opening and the interlayer insulating layer; a pixel definition layer on the passivation layer and having a pixel opening exposing the pixel electrode; an organic emission layer covering the pixel electrode; and a common electrode covering the organic emission layer and the pixel definition layer, wherein the pixel electrode contacting the first wiring portion of the data wire and the interlayer insulating layer has protrusions and depressions.

Claims (31)

1. An organic light emitting diode display comprising:

a substrate;

a gate wire on the substrate;

an interlayer insulating layer covering the gate wire;

a data wire on the interlayer insulating layer, and including a data line for transmitting a data signal and a dummy data member insulated from the data line;

a passivation layer on the data wire and the interlayer insulating layer and having a protection opening;

a pixel electrode on a first wiring portion of the data wire exposed through the protection opening and the interlayer insulating layer;

a pixel definition layer on the passivation layer and having a pixel opening exposing the pixel electrode;

an organic emission layer covering the pixel electrode; and

a common electrode covering the organic emission layer and the pixel definition layer,

wherein the first wiring portion of the data wire includes the dummy data member, and

wherein the pixel electrode contacting the first wiring portion of the data wire and the interlayer insulating layer has protrusions and depressions.

2. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the pixel electrode includes a convex pixel portion contacting the first wiring portion of the data wire and a concave pixel portion contacting the interlayer insulating layer.

3. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein:

the data wire further comprises a driving voltage line for transmitting a driving voltage, a compensation control line for transmitting a compensation control signal and crossing the scan line, an operation control line crossing the scan line and configured to transmit an operation control signal, and a reset control line crossing the scan line and configured to transmit a reset signal.

4. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 3 , wherein the gate wire further includes a scan line transmitting a scan signal, and

wherein the organic light emitting diode display further comprises: a switching thin film transistor connected to the scan line and the data line;

wherein a compensation thin film transistor is connected to the compensation control line;

wherein an operation control thin film transistor is connected to the operation control line and the switching thin film transistor; and

wherein a driving thin film transistor is connected to the driving voltage line.

5. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , further comprising an auxiliary electrode on the passivation layer and separated from the pixel electrode, wherein the auxiliary electrode contacts the common electrode.

6. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein:

the pixel definition layer has an assistance opening exposing the auxiliary electrode; and

the common electrode contacts the auxiliary electrode through the assistance opening.

7. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 6 , wherein:

the data wire includes a second wiring portion insulated from the data line; and

the auxiliary electrode is connected to the second wiring portion of the data wire through the contact hole in the passivation layer.

8. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 7 , wherein the auxiliary electrode is formed of the same material as the pixel electrode.
