Abstract

An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display apparatus including a substrate, an insulation layer on the substrate, and an align mark formed of an insulation material, wherein an upper surface of the insulation layer contacts a lower surface of the align mark.

Claims (18)

1. A method of manufacturing an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display apparatus, the method comprising:

forming an insulation layer on a substrate;

forming an align mark comprising an insulation material on the insulation layer such that a lower surface of the align mark contacts an upper surface of the insulation layer;

aligning the substrate by using the align mark,

forming a thin film transistor (TFT) on the substrate; and

forming a pixel electrode electrically connected to the TFT,

wherein the align mark is concurrently formed with a pixel defining layer by a patterning process, the pixel defining layer defining a pixel and exposing a part of the pixel electrode.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the forming of the insulation layer comprises:

forming a lower insulation layer on the substrate;

forming an auxiliary align mark on the lower insulation layer to be under the align mark and to correspond to the align mark; and

forming an upper insulation layer on the lower insulation layer to cover the auxiliary align mark.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising forming an organic light-emitting layer on the part of the pixel electrode of the substrate that is aligned by using the align mark.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the substrate comprises a plurality of lower panels and a cutting line is defined between the plurality of lower panels, and

wherein the method further comprises dividing the substrate into the plurality of lower panels by cutting along the cutting line of the substrate that is aligned by using the align mark.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein each of the plurality of lower panels comprises the align mark, the method further comprising:

aligning the plurality of lower panels by using the align mark; and

forming an organic light-emitting layer on the plurality of aligned lower panels.
