Abstract

An organic light emitting display device includes a scan line, a data line, a power supply line, and a pixel. The scan line extends in one direction. The data line crosses the scan line. The power supply line crosses the scan line and the data line. The pixel is electrically coupled to the scan line, the data line, and the power supply line. The pixel includes an organic light emitting diode including a first electrode on a substrate, an organic layer on the first electrode, and a second electrode on the organic layer. The pixel further includes at least two domains configured to radiate light in directions different from each other.

Claims (23)

1. An organic light emitting display device comprising:

a substrate;

a scan line;

an interlayer insulating layer on the scan line;

a data line on the interlayer insulating layer, the data line crossing the scan line;

a power supply line crossing the scan line and the data line; and

a pixel on the substrate and electrically coupled to the scan line, the data line, and the power supply line, the pixel being divided into a transmission area and a non-transmission area,

wherein the pixel comprises:

a thin-film transistor on the non-transmission area;

a protection layer over the thin-film transistor and at the transmission area and the non-transmission area, an upper surface of the protection layer having a flat surface at the non-transmission area;

a pixel defining layer on the protection layer, the pixel defining layer having an opening therein; and

an organic light emitting diode, the organic light emitting diode comprising a first electrode on the protection layer, an organic layer on the first electrode and in the opening of the pixel defining layer, and a second electrode on the organic layer,

wherein the pixel further comprises at least two domains in the opening of the pixel defining layer and radiates light in one of a direction toward the substrate and a direction away from the substrate,

wherein the domains in the pixel radiate light in directions different from each other, and the directions in which the domains radiate light are inclined to the substrate, and

wherein the upper surface of the protection layer in the opening of the pixel defining layer comprises two inclination surfaces which are not separated and are continuously declined toward a center of the opening of the pixel defining layer with respect to an upper surface of the interlayer insulating layer at the transmission area.

2. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the at least two domains of the pixel comprise:

a first domain configured to radiate light in a first direction; and

a second domain configured to radiate light in a second direction different from the first direction.

3. The organic light emitting display device of claim 2 , wherein upper surfaces of the organic layer at the respective first and second domains are opposite to each other and inclined downward.

4. The organic light emitting display device of claim 3 , wherein an inclination angle is in a range of about 0 to about 45 degrees.

5. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the at least two domains share the first electrode, the organic layer, and the second electrode.

6. The organic light emitting display device of claim 5 , wherein the organic layer is inclined in different directions with respect to a flat surface of the substrate in the domains.

7. The organic light emitting display device of claim 2 , wherein the first and second directions are symmetric to each other about a boundary between the first and second domains.
