Abstract

An organic light-emitting display apparatus including a substrate; a thin-film transistor (TFT) arranged on the substrate; a black matrix located between the substrate and the TFT; a pixel electrode, which is located between the substrate and the TFT and having edge portions covered by the black matrix; an insulation layer, which covers the TFT and opens the top surface of the pixel electrode; an organic emission layer, which is arranged on the pixel electrode; and a counter electrode, which is arranged on the organic emission layer.

Claims (15)

1. An organic light-emitting display apparatus comprising:

a substrate;

a thin-film transistor (TFT) arranged on the substrate;

a black matrix located between the substrate and the TFT;

a pixel electrode, which is located between the substrate and the TFT and having edge portions covered by the black matrix and an upper surface of the black matrix is higher than a top surface of the pixel electrode;

wherein the black matrix contains a material that is resistant to a temperature equal to or higher than 550° C.;

an insulation layer, which covers the TFT and opens the top surface of the pixel electrode and side surfaces of the black matrix;

an organic emission layer, which is arranged on the pixel electrode;

a counter electrode, which is arranged on the organic emission layer;

wherein the pixel electrode is directly connected to the source electrode or the drain electrode of the TFT through the black matrix.

2. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the TFT comprises an active layer, a gate electrode, a source electrode, a drain electrode, and the active layer is formed directly on the black matrix.

3. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the pixel electrode is connected to the source electrode or the drain electrode of the TFT via a contact hole formed in the black matrix.

4. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the black matrix contains silicon resin.

5. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim, 1 , wherein the pixel electrode contains a transparent material, and

the counter electrode contains a reflective material.
