Abstract

Disclosed is an organic light emitting device, (OLED) comprising a substrate on which a driving transistor is formed, a bank formed on the substrate providing a boundary for a pixel region, a first electrode formed on the substrate and electrically connected with the driving transistor, the first electrode comprising a first and second cross sectional area both oriented in a direction perpendicular to a vertical direction of the substrate, the first area adjacent to the bank, the second area surrounded by the first area, an organic layer formed on the first electrode within the boundary provided by the bank, and a second electrode formed on the organic layer, wherein during operation of the OLED a first electric field between the first area of the first electrode and the second electrode is greater than a second electric field between the second area of the first electrode and the second electrode.

Claims (13)

1. An organic light emitting device, comprising:

a substrate on which a driving transistor is formed;

a bank formed on the substrate providing a boundary for a pixel region;

a first electrode located on the substrate and electrically connected with the driving transistor, the first electrode comprising a first and a second cross sectional area both oriented in a direction substantially perpendicular to a first direction of the substrate, the first area adjacent to the bank, the second area surrounded by the first area, the first area of the first electrode comprising a specific resistance that is lower than that of the second area of the first electrode;

an organic layer located on the first electrode within the boundary provided by the bank, at least a portion of the organic layer formed to physically contact the first electrode over the first area; and

a second electrode located on the organic layer, wherein the organic layer comprises a hole injection layer and an emitting layer and the hole injection layer is disposed on the first and the second area of the first electrode.

2. The organic light emitting device as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the organic layer comprises a concave shape along a surface bordering the second electrode, the organic layer thinner adjacent to where the second area of the first electrode is formed.

3. The organic light emitting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second area does not physically contact the bank.

4. The organic light emitting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pixel region is located within the boundary defined by the bank, and wherein the boundary is located above the first area.

5. The organic light emitting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bank is in a forward tapered shape.

6. The organic light emitting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first cross section area is larger than the second cross sectional area.

7. The organic light emitting device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first insulting layer comprises at least one from the group consisting of SiOx, SiNx, SiON, Al2O3, TiO2, Ta2O5, HfO2, ZrO2, BST, PZT, benzocyclobutene, and an acryl based resin.
