Abstract

An organic light-emitting display device includes: a substrate; a pixel electrode on the substrate; a pixel defining layer having a first opening exposing a center portion of the pixel electrode; a barrier layer on the pixel defining layer; an intermediate layer including a first common layer, a first emissive layer, and a second common layer sequentially arranged on the pixel electrode, the pixel defining layer, and the barrier layer; and a first opposite electrode covering the intermediate layer. The barrier layer has a second opening that is larger than the first opening and has an undercut structure.

Claims (26)

1. An organic light-emitting display device comprising:

a substrate;

a pixel electrode on the substrate;

a pixel defining layer having a first opening exposing a center portion of the pixel electrode;

a barrier layer on the pixel defining layer, the barrier layer having a second opening that is larger than the first opening and having an undercut structure;

an intermediate layer comprising a first common layer, a first emissive layer, and a second common layer sequentially arranged on the pixel electrode, the pixel defining layer, and the barrier layer; and

a first opposite electrode covering the intermediate layer,

wherein portions of the first opposite electrode on the pixel electrode, the pixel defining layer, and the barrier layer are connected to each other,

wherein portions of the first common layer are disconnected from each other at a boundary between the pixel defining layer and the barrier layer.

2. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein portions of the second common layer on the pixel electrode, the pixel defining layer, and the barrier layer are connected to each other.

3. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein portions of the first emissive layer on the pixel electrode, the pixel defining layer, and the barrier layer are connected to each other.

4. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the barrier layer is greater than a thickness of the intermediate layer.

5. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the barrier layer is greater than a thickness of the first common layer.

6. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the barrier layer comprises a first barrier layer and a second barrier layer on the first barrier layer, and

wherein the second barrier layer has an undercut structure.

7. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the first opposite electrode completely covers the intermediate layer.

8. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , further comprising a common electrode on the first opposite electrode.

9. An organic light-emitting display device comprising:

a substrate;

a pixel electrode on the substrate;

a pixel defining layer having a first opening exposing a center portion of the pixel electrode, the first opening having an edge arranged within a periphery of the pixel electrode and having an undercut structure;

an intermediate layer comprising a first common layer, a first emissive layer, and a second common layer sequentially arranged on the pixel electrode and the pixel defining layer; and

a first opposite electrode covering the intermediate layer,

wherein portions of the first common layer are disconnected from each other at a boundary between the pixel defining layer and the pixel electrode.

10. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 9 , wherein portions of the first opposite electrode on the pixel electrode and the pixel defining layer are connected to each other.

11. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 9 , wherein a thickness of the pixel defining layer is greater than a thickness of the first common layer.
