Abstract

An organic light emitting diode display includes: a substrate; a gate line on the substrate; a data line crossing the gate line; a driving voltage line extending parallel with at least one of the gate line and the data line; a first thin film transistor coupled to the gate line and the data line and comprising a first semiconductor layer; a second thin film transistor coupled to the first thin film transistor and the driving voltage line and comprising a second semiconductor layer; and an organic light emitting element coupled to the second thin film transistor, wherein at least one of the gate line, the data line, and the driving voltage line comprise a plurality of layers, and the lowest layer of the plurality of layers comprises a first metal layer made of a reflective metal.

Claims (26)

1. An organic light emitting diode display, comprising:

a substrate;

a gate line on the substrate;

a data line crossing the gate line;

a driving voltage line extending parallel with at least one of the gate line and the data line;

a first thin film transistor coupled to the gate line and the data line and comprising a first semiconductor layer;

a second thin film transistor coupled to the first thin film transistor and the driving voltage line and comprising a second semiconductor layer;

an organic light emitting element coupled to the second thin film transistor,

wherein at least one of the gate line, the data line, and the driving voltage line comprise a plurality of layers, and

a lowest layer of the plurality of layers comprises a first metal layer made of a reflective metal; and

a transparent metal layer below the first metal layer.

2. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of layers further comprises a second metal layer formed on the first metal layer.

3. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 2 , wherein the first metal layer comprises at least one of aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), or copper (Cu).

4. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 2 , wherein the second metal layer comprises at least one of molybdenum (Mo) or titanium (Ti).

5. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 2 , wherein the first and second metal layers of the plurality of layers are arranged in an alternating order.

6. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the transparent metal layer comprises at least one of indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZO).

7. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , further comprising a light reflection pattern on the substrate in a region that does not overlap with the gate line, the data line, and the driving voltage line.

8. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 7 , wherein the light reflection pattern is formed on a same layer as at least one of the gate line, the data line, and the driving voltage line.

9. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 7 , wherein the light reflection pattern comprises:

a third metal layer made of a reflective metal; and

a fourth metal layer on the third metal layer.

10. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 9 , wherein the third metal layer comprises at least one of aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), or copper (Cu).

11. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 9 , wherein the fourth metal layer comprises at least one of molybdenum (Mo) or titanium (Ti).

12. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 9 , wherein the third and fourth metal layers of the light reflection pattern are arranged in an alternating order.

13. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 7 , further comprising a transparent metal layer below the light reflection pattern.

14. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 13 , wherein the light reflection pattern comprises at least one of indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZO).
