Abstract

An organic light-emitting display device including a plurality of pixels, each of which includes an organic light-emitting device including a pixel electrode, an organic emission layer, and an opposing electrode; a pixel defining layer covering an edge of the pixel electrode and being configured to define a light-emission region by having an opening which exposes a portion of the pixel electrode; and a reference line overlapping the pixel electrode with an insulating layer between the reference line and the pixel electrode and extending in a first direction. The reference line overlaps with a center point of the opening, and the opening is shifted to one side of the pixel electrode in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
