Abstract

An organic light emitting display panel includes a base substrate, a pixel defining layer disposed on the base substrate, a light emitting structure disposed in an opening of the pixel defining layer, and a mirror pattern disposed on an upper surface of the pixel defining layer. The pixel defining layer defines the opening and includes the upper surface that is in parallel with a surface of the base substrate and a side surface that is connected to the upper surface. The mirror pattern makes contact with the pixel defining layer, and entirely covers the upper surface of the pixel defining layer.

Claims (17)

1. An organic light emitting display panel, comprising:

a base substrate;

a thin film transistor disposed on the base substrate;

a first electrode electrically connected to the thin film transistor;

a pixel defining layer disposed on the base substrate, defining an opening and comprising an upper surface that is in parallel with a surface of the base substrate and a side surface that is connected to the upper surface and forms a plane surface;

a light emitting structure disposed in the opening of the pixel defining layer on the first electrode;

a mirror pattern which reflects external light and is disposed on the upper surface of the pixel defining layer; and

a second electrode disposed on the light emitting layer, the pixel defining layer and the mirror pattern, and overlapping the mirror pattern,

wherein the mirror pattern entirely covers the upper surface of the pixel defining layer.

2. The organic light emitting display panel of claim 1 ,

wherein the mirror pattern makes contact with the second electrode.

3. The organic light emitting display panel of claim 2 , wherein the mirror pattern has a shape that is the same as the pixel defining layer in a plan view.

4. The organic light emitting display panel of claim 3 , wherein the mirror pattern extends in a first direction and a second direction that crosses the first direction to form a mesh structure.

5. The organic light emitting display panel of claim 1 , wherein the mirror pattern further covers a portion of the side surface of the pixel defining layer.

6. The organic light emitting display panel of claim 1 , wherein the mirror pattern covers only the upper surface of the pixel defining layer.

7. The organic light emitting display panel of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting structure makes contact with the side surface of the pixel defining layer and is spaced apart from the mirror pattern.

8. The organic light emitting display panel of claim 1 , wherein the mirror pattern comprises at least one or more of aluminum (Al), chrome (Cr), silver (Ag), iron (Fe), platinum (Pt), mercury (Hg), nickel (Ni), tungsten (W), vanadium (V) and molybdenum (Mo).
