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. The first substrate includes an anode included in an organic light emitting diode, an auxiliary electrode, a barrier on the auxiliary electrode, a bank layer including a first opening exposing at least a portion of the anode and a second opening simultaneously exposing at least a portion of the auxiliary electrode and at least a portion of the barrier, a cathode included in the organic light emitting diode and divided by the barrier, a contact electrode disposed on the cathode and divided by the barrier, and a protective layer interposed between the cathode and the contact electrode. The contact electrode and the power line directly contact each other.

Claims (29)

1. An organic light emitting diode display comprising:

a first substrate on which an organic light emitting diode having an anode, an organic compound layer, and a cathode is disposed;

a second substrate on which a power line supplied with a power voltage is disposed, the second substrate facing the first substrate;

an auxiliary electrode;

a barrier on the auxiliary electrode;

a bank layer covering an edge of the auxiliary electrode and a portion of the barrier, wherein the bank layer has a first opening exposing at least a portion of the anode and a second opening simultaneously exposing at least a portion of the auxiliary electrode and at least a portion of the barrier;

a protective layer on the cathode; and

a contact electrode disposed on the protective layer, one end of the contact electrode directly contacting the auxiliary electrode or the cathode; and

wherein the contact electrode and the power line directly contact each other,

wherein the cathode of the organic light emitting diode is on the barrier and the bank layer,

wherein one end of the cathode is configured to directly contact the auxiliary electrode.

2. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the bank layer is divided into a first portion defining the first opening and a second portion defining the second opening,

wherein a height of the first portion is less than a height of the second portion.

3. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the bank layer is divided into a first portion defining the first opening and a second portion overlapping at least a portion of the barrier,

wherein a height of the first portion is less than a height of the second portion.

4. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the protective layer on the cathode exposes at least a portion of one end of the cathode,

wherein the contact electrode directly contacts the exposed portion of the cathode.

5. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the cathode and the contact electrode are physically spaced from each other with the protective layer interposed therebetween.

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

wherein the color filters are partitioned by the power line.

7. 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 the organic light emitting diode is emitted, and a non-emission region outside the emission region,

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

8. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , further comprising a filler layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate.

9. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the barrier is divided into a plurality of parts on the auxiliary electrode.

10. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the cathode maintains its continuity in a portion overlapping the bank layer among a formation area of the barrier,

wherein the protective layer maintains its continuity in a portion overlapping the bank layer among the formation area of the barrier, and

wherein the contact electrode maintains its continuity in a portion overlapping the bank layer among the formation area of the barrier.

11. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein an edge of the barrier has an eaves shape.

12. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 11 , wherein the bank layer is formed to have a forward taper shape.
