Abstract

Provided is an organic photodiode device including at least one photodiode including a first organic layer between a first electrode and a second electrode, a bank covering an edge of the first electrode, and a rib surrounding the first organic layer. The second electrode covers the rib. The organic photodiode device further includes a common electrode connected to the second electrode, and the rib may be located between the common electrode and the first organic layer. The first organic layer may include a polymer compound. The at least one photodiode includes a plurality of photodiodes, and the first organic layer may be shared by the plurality of photodiodes.
