Abstract

An organic light emitting diode display is disclosed. The organic light emitting diode display includes a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other, and a conductive filler layer between the first and second substrates. The first substrate includes a bank layer having an opening exposing at least a portion of an anode, a spacer on the bank layer, an organic compound layer and a cathode disposed on the anode, the bank layer, and the spacer, an inorganic layer disposed on the cathode and including a first open hole exposing at least a portion of the cathode on the spacer, and an organic layer disposed on the inorganic layer and including a second open hole exposing at least a portion of the cathode on the spacer. The second substrate includes a power line electrically connected to a portion of the exposed cathode through the conductive filler layer.

Claims (32)

1. An organic light emitting diode display, comprising:

a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other; and

a conductive filler layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate,

wherein the first substrate includes:

a bank layer having an opening exposing at least a portion of an anode;

a spacer disposed on the bank layer;

an organic compound layer and a cathode disposed on the anode, the bank layer, and the spacer, the organic compound layer and the cathode being sequentially stacked;

an inorganic layer disposed on the cathode, the inorganic layer including a first open hole exposing at least a portion of the cathode positioned on the spacer; and

an organic layer disposed on the inorganic layer, the organic layer including a second open hole exposing at least a portion of the cathode positioned on the spacer, wherein an upper surface of the organic layer is positioned on the same plane as an upper surface of the inorganic layer, wherein the exposed portion of the cathode directly contacts the conductive filler layer;

wherein the second substrate includes a power line electrically connected to a portion of the exposed cathode through the conductive filler layer.

2. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the second open hole exposes at least a portion of the inorganic layer and the first open hole.

3. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein a planar shape of the first open hole corresponds to a planar shape of the spacer.

4. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein a planar shape of the second open hole corresponds to a planar shape of the spacer.

5. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the upper surface of the organic layer is positioned on the same plane as an upper surface of the exposed cathode, or is positioned below the upper surface of the exposed cathode.

6. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the upper surface of the inorganic layer is positioned on the same plane as an upper surface of the exposed cathode, or is positioned below the upper surface of the exposed cathode.

7. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the first substrate includes a power electrode receiving a power voltage from a power generating part, and

wherein the power electrode directly contacts the conductive filler layer.

8. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the first substrate includes a power electrode receiving a power voltage from a power generating part, and

wherein the cathode directly contacts the power electrode.

9. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 8 , wherein the first substrate includes a protruding pattern protruding toward the second substrate, and

wherein the cathode is extended to cover at least a portion of the protruding pattern.

10. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 9 , wherein at least a portion of the protruding pattern overlaps the power electrode.

11. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 9 , wherein the protruding pattern is configured as a single layer including a material constituting the bank layer or a material constituting the spacer, or is configured as a plurality of layers provided by stacking the material constituting the bank layer and the material constituting the spacer.

12. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 9 , wherein the inorganic layer includes a third open hole exposing at least a portion of the cathode positioned on the protruding pattern, and

wherein the organic layer includes a fourth open hole exposing at least a portion of the cathode positioned on the protruding pattern.

13. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 12 , wherein the fourth open hole exposes at least a portion of the inorganic layer and the third open hole.

14. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the second substrate further includes color filters, and

wherein the color filters are partitioned by the power line.

15. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein each of the first substrate and the second substrate includes an emission region, to which light from an organic light emitting diode is emitted, and a non-emission region outside the emission region, and

wherein the power line is disposed in the non-emission region.

16. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the second substrate further includes an auxiliary power line, of which one surface directly contacts the power line and another surface opposite the one surface directly contacts the conductive filler layer, and

wherein the auxiliary power line has an area larger than the power line.
