Abstract

Provided are organic luminescence display and method for manufacturing the same. According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an organic luminescence display comprising a substrate and a plurality of pixels disposed on the substrate. The pixels comprise a plurality of first pixels, each comprising a first organic light-emitting layer, and a plurality of second pixels which are smaller than the first pixels and each of which comprises a second organic light-emitting layer. The surface roughness of the second organic light-emitting layer is greater than the surface roughness of the first organic light-emitting layer.

Claims (35)

a substrate; and

a plurality of pixels disposed on the substrate, the pixels comprising:

a plurality of first pixels, each comprising a first organic light-emitting layer; and

a plurality of second pixels which are smaller in size than the first pixels and each of which comprises a second organic light-emitting layer,

surface roughness of the second organic light-emitting layer being greater than surface roughness of the first organic light-emitting layer.

2. The organic luminescence display device of claim 1 , wherein the first pixels are dot-shaped, and the second pixels are stripe-shaped.

3. The organic luminescence display device of claim 2 , wherein the first and second pixels are quadrangular, a length of long sides of each of the first pixels is equal to a length of long sides of each of the second pixels, and a length of short sides of each of the first pixels is greater than a length of short sides of each of the second pixels.

4. The organic luminescence display device of claim 3 , wherein the length of the short sides of each of the first pixels is two to four times the length of the short sides of each of the second pixels.

5. The organic luminescence display device of claim 3 , wherein the length of the short sides of each of the second pixels is 1 to 10 μm.

6. The organic luminescence display device of claim 2 , wherein a minimum width of each of the first pixels is equal to or greater than a first width, and a minimum width of each of the second pixels is equal to or smaller than a second width which is smaller than the first width.

7. The organic luminescence display device of claim 6 , wherein the first width is two to four times the second width.

8. The organic luminescence display device of claim 6 , wherein the second width is 1 to 10 μm.

9. The organic luminescence display device of claim 1 , wherein the first organic light-emitting layer protrudes out of each of the first pixels, and the second organic light-emitting layer protrudes out of each of the second pixels, wherein a length by which the second organic light-emitting layer protrudes out of each of the second pixels is greater than a length by which the first organic light-emitting layer protrudes out of each of the first pixels.

10. The organic luminescence display device of claim 1 , wherein the first organic light-emitting layer comprises an unmarred surface, and the second organic light-emitting layer comprises a surface with random irregularities.

11. The organic luminescence display device of claim 1 , wherein the pixels comprise a plurality of third pixels which are equal in size to the first pixels and each of which comprises a third organic light-emitting layer, wherein a surface roughness of the third organic light-emitting layer is equal to the surface roughness of the first organic light-emitting layer.

12. The organic luminescence display device of claim 11 , wherein each of the second pixels is disposed between the first and third pixels.

13. The organic luminescence display device of claim 11 , wherein the pixels are arranged in a matrix having a plurality of columns and a plurality of rows intersecting the columns, wherein an n-th column comprises the first pixels and the third pixels arranged alternately, an (n+1)-th column adjacent to the n-th column comprises the second pixels, an (n+2)-th column adjacent to the (n+1)-th column comprises the first pixels and the third pixels arranged alternately, and an (n+3)-th column adjacent to the (n+2)-th column comprises the second pixels, wherein, in a same row, any one of the first and third pixels is disposed in the n-th column, and the other one of the first and third pixels is disposed in the (n+2)-th column, where n is a natural number.

14. The organic luminescence display device of claim 13 , wherein the second organic light-emitting layer extends continuously over all rows in the (n+1)-th column and the (n+3)-th column.

15. The organic luminescence display device of claim 11 , wherein each of the first pixels or each of the third pixels is surrounded by the second pixels, and each of the second pixels is surrounded by the first pixels and the third pixels.

16. The organic luminescence display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the first pixels comprises a first pixel electrode which contacts the first organic light-emitting layer, and each of the second pixels comprises a second pixel electrode which contacts the second organic light-emitting layer, wherein the adhesion of the first organic light-emitting layer to the first pixel electrode is greater than the adhesion of the second organic light-emitting layer to the second pixel electrode.

17. An organic luminescence display device, comprising:

a substrate; and

a plurality of pixels disposed on the substrate, the pixels comprising:

a plurality of first pixels, each comprising a first organic light-emitting layer;

a plurality of second pixels, each comprising a second organic light-emitting layer; and

a plurality of third pixels, each comprising a third organic light-emitting layer,
