Abstract

An organic light emitting display apparatus includes a pixel part including a pixel electrode, a light emitting layer and an opposite electrode, and a contact part in which the opposite electrode contacts a power line, wherein a first thickness of the opposite electrode in the pixel part is different from a second thickness of the opposite electrode in the contact part.

Claims (26)

1. An organic light emitting display apparatus comprising:

a pixel part which generates and emits light, the pixel part comprising:

an organic light emitting device comprising a pixel electrode, a light emitting layer and an opposite electrode; and

a thin film transistor which provides a driving signal to the organic light emitting device; and

a contact part disposed adjacent to the pixel part, in which the opposite electrode contacts a power line and from which power is supplied to the pixel part opposite electrode via the power line,

wherein a first thickness of the opposite electrode within the pixel part comprising the organic light emitting device and the thin film transistor, is different from a second thickness of the opposite electrode within the contact part comprising the opposite electrode in contact with the power line.

2. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second thickness in the contact part is greater than the first thickness in the pixel part.

3. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the opposite electrode comprises:

a first layer disposed in the pixel part and in the contact part; and

a second layer disposed on the first layer in the contact part.

4. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein

the first thickness is in a range of about 700 Å to about 1,000 Å, and

the second thickness is equal to or greater than about 2,000 Å.

5. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the opposite electrode comprises a reflection electrode which reflects the light generated from the light emitting layer toward the pixel electrode.

6. A method of manufacturing an organic light emitting display apparatus, the method comprising:

disposing a thin film transistor, an opposite electrode, a pixel electrode and a light emitting layer on a substrate within a pixel part which generates and emits light; and

disposing the opposite electrode in contact with a power line on the substrate within a contact part which is adjacent to the pixel part and supplies power to the pixel part opposite electrode via the power line,

wherein a first thickness of the opposite electrode within the pixel part comprising the thin film transistor, the pixel electrode and the light emitting layer and, is different from a second thickness of the opposite electrode within the contact part comprising the opposite electrode in contact with the power line.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the second thickness in the contact part is equal to or greater than the first thickness in the pixel part.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein disposing the opposite electrode comprises:

disposing a first layer of the opposite electrode in the pixel part and in the contact part; and

disposing a second layer of the opposite electrode on the first layer in the contact part.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein

the first thickness is in a range of about 700 Å to about 1,000 Å, and

the second thickness is equal to or greater than about 2,000 Å.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the opposite electrode comprises a reflection electrode which reflects the light generated from the light emitting layer toward the pixel electrode.
