Abstract

A substrate for an organic light emitting display device and an organic light emitting display device are provided. The substrate to the organic light emitting display device includes a protective layer having a non-flat shape; a first electrode on the protective layer and having the non-flat shape; and a bank layer on the protective layer and the first electrode. The bank layer having an opening for exposing the first electrode. The protective layer is formed at the opening of the bank layer and a part of an area with the bank layer.

Claims (58)

1. A substrate for an organic light emitting display device, comprising:

a protective layer having a non-flat shape and including a plurality of concave portions or convex portions;

a first electrode on the protective layer, the first electrode having the non-flat shape; and

a bank layer on the protective layer and the first electrode, the bank layer including an opening for exposing the first electrode,

wherein the protective layer is in the opening of the bank layer and a part of an area with the bank layer,

wherein the plurality of concave portions or convex portion include a first concave portion and a second concave portion or a first convex portion and a second convex portion, and

wherein a third concave portion or a third convex portion is further disposed between the first concave portion and the second concave portion or the first convex portion and the second convex portion to be adjacent to the second concave portion or the second convex portion to form a zigzag array.

2. The substrate of claim 1 , wherein the protective layer is configured to decrease a color shift with respect to a viewing angle.

3. The substrate of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of concave portions or convex portions is disposed on a whole surface of the protective layer.

4. The substrate of claim 1 , wherein a slope of the opening of the bank layer has 40° or higher, or the opening has curved shape.

5. A substrate for an organic light emitting display device, comprising:

a protective layer having a non-flat shape and including a plurality of concave portions or convex portions;

a first electrode on the protective layer, the first electrode having the non-flat shape; and

a bank layer on the protective layer and the first electrode, the bank layer including an opening for exposing the first electrode,

wherein the plurality of concave portions or convex portions is disposed in a wider area than the opening of the bank layer.

6. The substrate of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of concave portions or convex portions is disposed on a whole surface of the protective layer.

7. The substrate of claim 5 , wherein a slope of the opening of the bank layer has 40° or higher, or the opening has curved shape.

8. A substrate for an organic light emitting display device, comprising:

a protective layer having a non-flat shape and including a plurality of concave portions or convex portions;

a first electrode on the protective layer, the first electrode having the non-flat shape;

a bank layer on the protective layer and the first electrode, the bank layer including an opening for exposing the first electrode; and

an emission area including the opening of the bank layer,

wherein the emission area includes a first emission area, a second emission area, and a third emission area, and

a vertical length of the first emission area is larger than the vertical lengths of the second and third emission areas.

9. The substrate of claim 8 , wherein the vertical lengths of the second and third emission areas are different from each other.

10. A substrate for an organic light emitting display device, comprising:

a protective layer having a non-flat shape and including a plurality of concave portions or convex portions;

a first electrode on the protective layer, the first electrode having the non-flat shape;

a bank layer on the protective layer and the first electrode, the bank layer including an opening for exposing the first electrode; and

an emission area including the opening of the bank layer,

wherein the emission area includes a first emission area, a second emission area, and a third emission area, and

a horizontal length of the first emission area is smaller than the horizontal lengths of the second and third emission areas.

11. The substrate of claim 10 , wherein the horizontal lengths of the second and third emission areas are different from each other.

12. An organic light emitting display device including a plurality of pixels and subpixels constituting the pixels, comprising:

a bank layer exposing an emission area of the subpixel and including an inclined opening;

a protective layer including a viewing angle enhancement structure; and

an organic emission layer on the protective layer, the organic emission layer being along a form of the viewing angle enhancement structure,

wherein the view angle enhancement structure includes a concave portion or a convex portion, and

wherein the concave portion or a convex portion includes a plurality of concave portions or convex portions, and each of a gap between the concave portions and a gap between the convex portions is 1 μm to 2 μm.

13. The organic light emitting display device of claim 12 , wherein the subpixels includes at least two or more subpixels, and

wherein the protective layer and the organic emission layer in at least one subpixel of the at least two or more subpixels do not include the viewing angle enhancement structure.

14. The organic light emitting display device of claim 12 , wherein a slope of the opening of the bank layer has 40° or higher, or the opening has a curved shape.

15. The organic light emitting display device of claim 12 , wherein a diameter of the concave portion or convex portion is 2 μm to 6 μm.

16. The organic light emitting display device of claim 12 , wherein a height of the concave portion or convex portion is 0.05 μm to 2 μm.

17. The organic light emitting display device of claim 12 , wherein the bank layer includes at least two or more openings exposing the emission area.

18. An organic light emitting display device including a plurality of pixels and subpixels constituting the pixels, comprising:

a bank layer exposing an emission area of the subpixel and including an inclined opening;

a protective layer including a viewing angle enhancement structure; and

an organic emission layer on the protective layer, the organic emission layer being along a form of the viewing angle enhancement structure,

wherein the view angle enhancement structure includes a concave portion or a convex portion, and

wherein the concave portion or a convex portion includes a plurality of concave portions or convex portions, and the concave portions or convex portions are disposed so that all internal angles of a triangle formed when centers of three adjacent concave portions or convex portions are connected to each other become an acute angle.

19. An organic light emitting display device including a plurality of pixels and subpixels constituting the pixels, comprising:

a bank layer exposing an emission area of the subpixel and including an inclined opening;

a protective layer including a viewing angle enhancement structure; and

an organic emission layer on the protective layer, the organic emission layer being along a form of the viewing angle enhancement structure,
