Abstract

An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display and a method for manufacturing the same are described. An exemplary embodiment provides an OLED display including: a substrate including a plurality of pixel areas; a light emitting unit including an organic light emitting diode and a plurality of first thin film transistors, the light emitting unit being formed in each of the plurality of pixel areas; and a sensor unit including a photosensor and a plurality of second thin film transistors, the sensor unit being formed in at least some of the plurality of pixel areas. Each of the plurality of first thin film transistors and the plurality of second thin film transistors includes an oxide semiconductor layer, and the photosensor includes an oxide photoelectric conversion layer that are made of a same material on a same layer as the oxide semiconductor layer.
