Abstract

An organic light-emitting display apparatus includes: a first inorganic film covering a display unit; and an organic film on the first inorganic film, wherein a plurality of protrusions are distributed over a surface of the first inorganic film contacting the organic film.

Claims (21)

1. An organic light-emitting display apparatus comprising:

a substrate;

a display unit on the substrate; and

a thin film encapsulation layer covering the display unit,

wherein the thin film encapsulation layer comprises:

a first inorganic film on the display unit; and

an organic film on the first inorganic film,

wherein a plurality of protrusions are distributed over a surface of the first inorganic film contacting the organic film, the plurality of protrusions provide a surface roughness of the first inorganic film, and

wherein the surface roughness of the first inorganic film and a thickness of the organic film satisfy a condition of Y=96.54 exp(−0.248−X), where Y is the surface roughness of the first inorganic film in nm and X is the thickness of the organic film in μm.

2. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a surface roughness of the first inorganic film ranges between 1 nm RMS and 50 nm RMS due to the plurality of protrusions.

3. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the first inorganic film comprises a base layer contacting the display unit, and a surface layer on the base layer,

wherein the surface layer contacts the organic film and is an object of the surface roughness.

4. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the surface roughness of the surface layer comprises a same pattern as a roughness of the base layer.

5. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the roughness of the base layer is determined by an uneven state of a body surface of the base layer.

6. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 4 , further comprising a roughness auxiliary layer comprising fine particles distributed over the base layer,

wherein the roughness of the base layer is determined by the fine particles of the roughness auxiliary layer.

7. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the surface layer comprises an independent surface roughness comprising a different pattern from roughness of the base layer.

8. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the surface roughness of the surface layer is determined by an uneven state of a body surface of the surface layer.

9. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising a roughness auxiliary layer comprising fine particles distributed over the surface layer,

wherein the surface roughness of the surface layer is determined by the fine particles of the roughness auxiliary layer.

10. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the thin film encapsulation layer further comprises a second inorganic film on the organic film.
