Abstract

An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display includes: a substrate; a scan line on the substrate, extending in a first direction, and configured to transmit a scan signal; a data line on the substrate, extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, and configured to transmit a data voltage; a common voltage line in the same layer as the data line and configured to transmit a common voltage; a first electrode on the data line and an assistance member on the common voltage line, the first electrode and the assistance member being separated from each other in the first direction or the second direction; a second electrode on the first electrode and the assistance member; and an organic emission layer between the first electrode and the second electrode. The assistance member is separated from the data line in the first direction.

Claims (16)

1. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display comprising:

a substrate;

a scan line on the substrate, extending in a first direction, and configured to transmit a scan signal;

a data line on the substrate, extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, and configured to transmit a data voltage;

a common voltage line in the same layer as the data line and configured to transmit a common voltage;

a first electrode on the data line and an assistance member on the common voltage line, the first electrode and the assistance member being separated from each other in the first direction or the second direction;

a second electrode on the first electrode and the assistance member;

an organic emission layer between the first electrode and the second electrode;

a shorting member connecting the assistance member to the second electrode; and

a dummy organic emission layer that is incapable of emitting light, that comprises a same material as the organic emission layer and is located between the assistance member and the second electrode, and that surrounds the shorting member,

wherein the assistance member is separated from the data line in the first direction in a plan view.

2. The OLED display of claim 1 , wherein the assistance member overlaps the common voltage line in a thickness direction perpendicular to the first and second directions.

3. The OLED display of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode and the assistance member are formed of the same material in the same layer.

4. The OLED display of claim 1 , further comprising an insulating layer covering the data line and the common voltage line, the assistance member being connected to the common voltage line through a contact hole formed in the insulating layer.

5. The OLED display of claim 1 , wherein the data line is bent or curved to correspond to a periphery of the assistance member.

6. The OLED display of claim 1 , further comprising a pixel definition layer having a first opening overlapping a part of the first electrode and a second opening overlapping a part of the assistance member.
