Abstract

An organic light-emitting display device includes: a substrate, light-emitting elements on the substrate, and a light control layer structure between an anode of each of the light-emitting elements and the substrate, the light control layer structure including at least one pair of an alternately stacked low refractive index layer and high refractive index layer, a lowest high refractive index layer contacting an upper surface of the substrate.
