Abstract

An organic light emitting display device and a method of manufacturing the same are provided in which a separate photomask process is not added, a pile-up phenomenon of an organic layer is prevented, and a device characteristic is improved. The organic light emitting display device includes a plurality of banks in a boundary portion of a pixel area on a base substrate, an anode electrode in a pixel area on the base substrate, an organic layer on the anode electrode, and a cathode electrode on the organic layer and the plurality of banks.

Claims (19)

a planarization layer planarizing an upper surface of a base substrate;

a plurality of banks on the planarization layer and in a boundary portion of a pixel area on the base substrate;

an anode electrode in a pixel area on the base substrate;

an organic layer on the anode electrode; and

a cathode electrode on the organic layer and the plurality of banks,

wherein the anode electrode is between the plurality of banks and covers a side surface of each of the plurality of banks adjacent to the anode electrode,

wherein each of the plurality of banks comprises a protrusion protruding in a direction from a side surface contacting the lower surface of each bank to the pixel area, and

wherein a lower surface of the protrusion contacts an upper surface of the planarization layer.

2. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of banks has a taper structure in which a length of a lower surface is longer than a length of an upper surface, and a side surface connecting the lower surface to the upper surface is inclined.

3. The organic light emitting display device of claim 2 , wherein the anode electrode is not provided on the upper surface of each of the plurality of banks.

4. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the organic layer covers a whole top of the anode electrode.

5. The organic light emitting display device of claim 4 , wherein the organic layer covers one end and another end of the anode electrode.

6. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the anode electrode covers the protrusion.

7. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of banks comprises a material having hydrophobicity.

8. An organic light emitting display device, comprising: a plurality of banks in a boundary portion of a pixel area on a base substrate: wherein each of the plurality of banks comprise a protrusion protruding in a direction from a side surface contacting the lower surface of each bank to the pixel area; an anode electrode in a pixel area on the base substrate: an organic layer on the anode electrode; and a cathode electrode on the organic layer and the plurality of banks, wherein the anode electrode is between the plurality of banks and covers a side surface of each of the plurality of banks adjacent to the anode electrode, wherein the anode electrode comprises: a first anode electrode between the plurality of banks; and second and third anode electrodes disposed with the first anode electrode there between and spaced apart from the first and electrode by a certain distance, and wherein the first anode electrode covers the protrusion, and the second and third anode electrodes are respectively provided on the side surfaces of the plurality of banks.

9. An organic light emitting display device, comprising: a plurality of banks in a boundary portion of a pixel area on a base substrate: wherein each of the plurality of banks comprise a protrusion protruding in a direction from a side surface contacting the lower surface of each bank to the pixel area; an anode electrode in a pixel area on the base substrate: an organic layer on the anode electrode; and a cathode electrode on the organic layer and the plurality of banks, wherein the anode electrode is between the plurality of banks and covers a side surface of each of the plurality of banks adjacent to the anode electrode, wherein the anode electrode comprises: a first anode electrode between the plurality of banks; and second and third anode electrodes disposed with the first anode electrode there between and spaced apart from the first and electrode by a certain distance, and wherein the first anode electrode does not cover the protrusion, and the second and third anode electrodes are respectively provided on the side surfaces of the plurality of banks.

10. The organic light emitting display device of claim 9 , wherein the organic layer covers a whole top of each of the first to third anode electrodes.

11. The organic light emitting display device of claim 8 , wherein the organic layer covers a whole top of each of the first to third anode electrodes.
