Abstract

An organic light emitting diode display and a method for manufacturing an organic light emitting diode display are provided. An organic light emitting diode display includes: a substrate; a plurality of organic light emitting elements positioned on the substrate; a first alignment mark positioned between the plurality of organic light emitting elements; and a first organic pattern overlapping the first alignment mark on the substrate and including a same material as an organic material included in the plurality of organic light emitting elements.

Claims (37)

1. An organic light emitting diode display comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of organic light emitting elements positioned on the substrate;

a first alignment mark positioned between the plurality of organic light emitting elements; and

a first organic pattern overlapping the first alignment mark on the substrate and including a same material as an organic material included in the plurality of organic light emitting elements.

2. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein

each of the plurality of organic light emitting elements includes:

a first electrode positioned on the substrate;

an organic emissive layer positioned on the first electrode and including the organic material; and

a second electrode positioned on the organic emissive layer.

3. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 2 , further comprising:

a pixel definition layer covering at least a part of the first electrode and including a plurality of openings respectively overlapping with the plurality of organic light emitting elements,

wherein the first alignment mark and the first organic pattern are positioned between the plurality of openings.

4. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 3 , wherein the first alignment mark is positioned between the substrate and the pixel definition layer.

5. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 4 , wherein the first alignment mark is positioned on a same layer as the first electrode.

6. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 4 , further comprising:

a thin film transistor including an active layer positioned between the substrate and the first electrode and positioned on the substrate, a gate electrode positioned on the active layer, and a source electrode and a drain electrode positioned on the gate electrode,

wherein the first alignment mark is positioned on a same layer as at least one among the active layer, the gate electrode, the source electrode, and the drain electrode.

7. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 4 , wherein the first organic pattern is positioned on the pixel definition layer.

8. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein

the substrate includes a display area in which the plurality of organic light emitting elements is positioned, and a non-display area adjacent to the display area, and

the organic light emitting diode display further comprises:

a second alignment mark positioned at the non-display area; and

a second organic pattern overlapping the second alignment mark and including the same material as the first organic pattern.

9. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 8 , wherein the second alignment mark includes a first sub-alignment mark and a second sub-alignment mark separated from each other by the display area.

10. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 8 , wherein the first alignment mark and the second alignment mark have a same shape in a plane.

11. A method for manufacturing an organic light emitting diode display, the method comprising:

providing a pretreated substrate including a substrate, a plurality of first electrodes of a plurality of organic light emitting elements positioned on the substrate, a pixel definition layer including a plurality of openings overlapping with the plurality of first electrodes, and a first alignment mark positioned between the plurality of openings so as to be positioned between the plurality of organic light emitting elements;

coating an organic material included in the plurality of organic light emitting elements on the plurality of first electrodes exposed by the plurality of openings by using a nozzle, and coating the organic material on the pixel definition layer overlapping the first alignment mark on the substrate and including a same material as the organic material included in the plurality of organic light emitting elements; and

confirming whether the organic material is aligned with the first alignment mark.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising adjusting a position of the nozzle.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein

the substrate includes a display area where the plurality of first electrodes is positioned, and a non-display area adjacent to the display area,

the pretreated substrate further includes a second alignment mark positioned at the non-display area, and

the method further comprises:

coating the organic material on the pixel definition layer overlapping the second alignment mark by using the nozzle; and

confirming whether the organic material is aligned with the second alignment mark.
