Abstract

An organic light emitting display includes: a substrate; a first electrode on the substrate; an organic light emitting layer on the first electrode; a second electrode formed on the organic light emitting layer; a non-resonance reflection inducing layer on the second electrode; and a capping layer on the non-resonance reflection inducing layer.

Claims (35)

1. An organic light emitting display comprising:

a substrate;

a first electrode on the substrate comprising a reflective layer;

an organic light emitting layer on the first electrode;

a second electrode on the organic light emitting layer;

a non-resonance reflection inducing layer on the second electrode; and

a capping layer on the non-resonance reflection inducing layer,

wherein a lower surface of the capping layer and an upper surface of the reflective layer facing the capping layer are configured with the non-resonance reflection inducing layer to subject light to non-resonance reflection between the lower surface of the capping layer and the upper surface of the reflective layer.

2. The organic light emitting display of claim 1 , wherein the non-resonance reflection inducing layer has a refractive index of 1.1 to 1.5.

3. The organic light emitting display of claim 1 , wherein the non-resonance reflection inducing layer has a thickness of 5 nm to 10 nm.

4. The organic light emitting display of claim 1 , wherein the non-resonance reflection inducing layer comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of CaF 2 , NaF, Na 3 AlF 6 , SiOx, AlF 3 , LiF, MgF 2 , Alq 3 [Tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum], an acrylic resin, a polyimide-based resin and a polyamide-based resin.

5. The organic light emitting display of claim 1 , wherein a difference in refractive index between the non-resonance reflection inducing layer and the capping layer is 0.3 or more.

6. The organic light emitting display of claim 1 , wherein the capping layer has a refractive index of 1.6 to 3.0.

7. The organic light emitting display of claim 1 , wherein the capping layer has a thickness of 20 nm to 200 nm.

8. The organic light emitting display of claim 1 , wherein the capping layer comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of tris-8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum (Alq3), ZnSe, 2,5-bis(6′-(2′,2″-bipyridyl))-1,1-dimethyl-3,4-diphenylsilole, 4′-bis[N-(1-napthyl)-N-phenyl-amion] biphenyl (α-NPD), N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine (TPD), and 1,1′-bis(di-4-tolylaminophenyl) cyclohexane (TAPC).

9. The organic light emitting display of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode comprises the reflective layer and at least one transparent conductive layer on the reflective layer.
