Abstract

An organic light emitting display device that can prevent non-emission areas from being visible as lattice patterns and a head-mounted display including the organic light emitting display device are provided. The organic light emitting display device includes anode electrodes, banks that define the anode electrodes, organic light-emitting layers that are disposed on the anode electrodes, and color filters that are disposed on the organic light-emitting layers. The banks include a color changing film that changes light emitted from the organic light-emitting layer into a predetermined color and outputs the changed color light.

Claims (40)

1. An organic light emitting display device comprising:

two adjacent pixels including two adjacent anode electrodes, respectively;

an organic light-emitting layer disposed on the two adjacent anode electrodes; and

red, green, and blue color filters disposed on the organic light-emitting layer,

wherein a bank is disposed between the two adjacent anode electrodes of the two adjacent pixels, and separates the two adjacent anode electrodes from each other,

wherein the bank includes at least one color changing material that changes light emitted from the organic light-emitting layer into a predetermined color corresponding to one of the red, green, and blue color filters disposed on the organic light-emitting layer and outputs the changed color light,

wherein the organic light-emitting layer is disposed between the bank and the red, green, and blue color filters.

2. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the organic light-emitting layer emits white light.

3. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the bank includes:

a first color changing material that emits light of a first color which is transmitted by a first color filter; and

a second color changing material that emits light of a second color which is transmitted by a second color filter neighboring the first color filter.

4. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 3 , wherein the first color changing material is superimposed at least on parts of the bank surrounding the organic light-emitting layer associated to the first color filter, and

the second color changing material is superimposed at least on parts of the bank surrounding the organic light-emitting layer associated to the second color filter.

5. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 3 , wherein each bank further includes a third color changing material that emits light of a third color which is obtained by mixing the first color transmitted by the first color filter and the second color transmitted by the second color filter neighboring the first color filter,

wherein the third color changing material is disposed between the first color changing material and the second color changing material.

6. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 5 , wherein the third color changing material is superimposed on the bank at a position aligned to a boundary between the first and second color filters.

7. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 6 , wherein each bank further includes a light-blocking layer that blocks light emitted from the organic light-emitting layer, and

the light blocking layer is disposed between the first color changing material and the second color changing material.

8. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 7 , wherein the light-blocking layer is superimposed on the bank at a position aligned to on a boundary between the first and second color filters.

9. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 8 , wherein each bank further includes a scattering layer that scatters light emitted from the organic light-emitting layer.

10. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the bank contacts outer edges of the two adjacent anodes.

11. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the bank overlaps with the red, green, and blue color filters in a viewing direction of the organic light emitting display device.

12. A head-mounted display comprising:

an organic light emitting display device configured to display an image;

a display accommodating case configured to accommodate the organic light emitting display device; and

a left-eye lens and a right-eye lens that are disposed on one side of the display accommodating case and configured to receive the image of the organic light emitting display,

wherein the organic light emitting display device includes:

two adjacent pixels including two adjacent anode electrodes, respectively;

an organic light-emitting layer disposed on the two adjacent anode electrodes; and

red, green, and blue color filters disposed on the organic light-emitting layer,

wherein a bank is disposed between the two adjacent anode electrodes of the two adjacent pixels, and separates the two adjacent anode electrodes from each other,

wherein the bank includes at least one color changing material that changes light emitted from the organic light-emitting layer into a predetermined color corresponding to one of the red, green, and blue color filters disposed on the organic light-emitting layer and outputs the changed color light,

wherein the organic light-emitting layer is disposed between the bank and the red, green, and blue color filters.

13. A method of forming an organic light emitting display device, the method comprising:

providing two adjacent pixels including two adjacent anode electrodes, respectively;

forming an organic light-emitting layer on the two adjacent anode electrodes;

forming a bank between the two adjacent anode electrodes of the two adjacent pixels to separate the two adjacent anode electrodes from each other; and

providing red, green, and blue color filters on the organic light-emitting layer,

wherein the bank includes at least one color changing material that changes light emitted from the organic light-emitting layer into a predetermined color corresponding to one of the red, green, and blue color filters disposed on the organic light-emitting layer and outputs the changed color light,

wherein the organic light-emitting layer is disposed between the bank and the red, green, and blue color filters.
