Abstract

An organic light emitting diode display device includes a substrate, a protection layer on the substrate, the protection layer including a trench pattern and a recessed portion, a first electrode on the protection layer, a pixel defining layer on the protection layer, the pixel defining layer defining an opening that exposes at least a part of the first electrode, an organic light emitting layer on the first electrode, and a second electrode on the organic light emitting layer. The recessed portion overlaps the opening and is spaced apart from an edge of the opening in a plan view. The trench pattern includes a plurality of trenches extending along a first direction. Each trench of the plurality of trenches is spaced apart from the first electrode in a plan view and has a concave cross-section.

Claims (24)

1. An organic light emitting diode display device, comprising:

a substrate;

a protection layer on the substrate, the protection layer including a trench pattern and a recessed portion;

a first electrode on the protection layer;

a pixel defining layer on the protection layer, the pixel defining layer defining an opening that exposes at least a part of the first electrode;

an organic light emitting layer on the first electrode; and

a second electrode on the organic light emitting layer,

wherein:

the recessed portion overlaps the opening and is spaced apart from an edge of the opening in a plan view,

the trench pattern includes a plurality of trenches substantially extending along a first direction, the first direction being a direction toward and intersecting the recessed portion, and

each trench of the plurality of trenches is spaced apart from the first electrode in a plan view and has a concave cross-section.

2. The organic light emitting diode display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of trenches are substantially parallel to each other.

3. The organic light emitting diode display device as claimed in claim 2 , further including a gate line and a data line on the substrate,

wherein the first direction is parallel to one of the gate line and the data line.

4. The organic light emitting diode display device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein each trench of the plurality of trenches has a straight line shape in a plan view.

5. The organic light emitting diode display device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the plurality of trenches further include a branch trench that branches off on a plane and has a mesh shape in a plan view.

6. The organic light emitting diode display device as claimed in claim 2 , further including a gate line and a data line on the substrate,

wherein the first direction has a predetermined angle with respect to one of the gate line and the data line.

7. The organic light emitting diode display device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein:

the organic light emitting diode display device includes pixels of different colors, and

openings in the pixel defining layer corresponding to respective ones of the pixels have different planar areas according to the color of the respective ones of the pixels.

8. The organic light emitting diode display device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the recessed portion has a total planar area proportional to a planar area of the opening.

9. The organic light emitting diode display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each trench of the plurality of trenches has a wavy shape in a plan view.

10. The organic light emitting diode display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of trenches is formed unitarily to have a concave cross-section spaced apart from the first electrode in a plan view and surrounding the first electrode in a plan view.
