Abstract

An organic light emitting diode display includes a substrate, a thin film transistor on the substrate, a first electrode on and connected to the thin film transistor, a pixel defining layer on the first electrode and defining a pixel area, an organic light emitting layer on the first electrode and contacting the first electrode exposed in the pixel area, a second electrode on the organic light emitting layer, and a light blocking layer on the second electrode and exposing the second electrode at a position corresponding to the pixel area. The light blocking layer may include a first metal layer on the second electrode and exposing the second electrode at a position corresponding to the pixel area, a first intermediate layer covering the first metal layer, a second metal layer covering the first intermediate layer, and a second intermediate layer covering the second metal layer.

Claims (15)

1. An organic light emitting diode display comprising:

a substrate;

a thin film transistor on the substrate;

a first electrode on and connected to the thin film transistor;

a pixel defining layer on the first electrode and defining a pixel area;

an organic light emitting layer on the first electrode and contacting the first electrode exposed in the pixel area;

a second electrode on the organic light emitting layer;

a first metal layer on the second electrode and exposing the second electrode at a position corresponding to the pixel area;

a first intermediate layer covering the first metal layer;

a second metal layer covering the first intermediate layer; and

a second intermediate layer covering the second metal layer.

2. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the first and second metal layers are configured so that external light reflected by the first metal layer and external light reflected by the second metal layer destructively interfere with each other.

3. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the first metal layer is selected from the group consisting of Ag, Al, Mg, Cr, Ti, Ni, W, Au, Ta, Cu, Co, Fe, Mo, and Pt, or an alloy thereof.

4. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the second metal layer is selected from the group consisting of Cr, Ti, Mo, Co, Ni, W, Al, Ag, Au, Cu, Fe, Mg, and Pt, or an alloy thereof.

5. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the first and second intermediate layers are selected from the group consisting of SiO x (x≧1), SiN x (x≧1), MgF 2 , CaF 2 , Al 2 O 3 , SnO 2 , ITO, IZO, ZnO, Ta 2 O 5 , Nb 2 O 5 , HfO 2 , TiO 2 , and In 2 O 3 , or a combination thereof.
