Abstract

A method for fabricating an organic electroluminescent display device is provided. The organic electroluminescent display device includes a light-emitting cell having a cathode electrode, an anode electrode and an organic layer interposed therebetween; wherein the cathode electrode is electrically connected to a contact electrode via a contact hole; wherein the contact electrode has acid-resistance with respect to an etchant used in patterning the cathode electrode.

Claims (9)

1. A method for fabricating an organic electroluminescent display device comprising steps of:

forming a switch thin film transistor, a driving thin film transistor, a gate pad bottom electrode connected with a gate line and a data pad bottom electrode connected with a data line on a substrate;

forming a passivation layer having a plurality of a first contact holes to expose a portion of a drain electrode of the driving transistor, the gate pad bottom electrode and the date pad bottom electrode respectively;

forming a contact electrode, a gate pad top electrode and a data pad top electrode formed on the passivation layer, the contact electrode, a top gate pad electrode and a top data pad electrode electrically connected to the exposed portion of the drain electrode of the driving transistor, the gate pad bottom electrode and the date pad bottom electrode respectively,

forming a planarization layer formed on the passivation layer, the planarization layer including a plurality of a second contact holes to expose a portion of the contact electrode, the gate pad top electrode and the data pad top electrode respectively;

forming a light-emitting cell including a cathode electrode, an anode electrode and an organic layer interposed therebetween formed on the planarization layer; wherein the cathode electrode is electrically connected to the contact electrode via one of the contact hole;

wherein the contact electrode has acid-resistance with respect to an etchant used in patterning the cathode electrode.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cathode electrode has a single layer structure formed of Aluminum-Neodymium and the gate pad top electrode and the data pad top electrode have a single layer structure formed of Molybdenum-Titanium.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the contact electrode is formed of a same metal and on a same layer to the gate pad top electrode and the data pad top electrode.
