Abstract

An organic light-emitting display apparatus includes: a display unit including an organic light-emitting element, a driving transistor electrically connected to the organic light-emitting element, and a capacitor; and a pad unit connected to the display unit, the capacitor including: a first conductive layer disposed on a substrate; a second conductive layer interposed between the substrate facing a first surface of the first conductive layer; and a third conductive layer disposed facing a second surface of the first conductive layer opposing the first surface of the first conductive layer, the third conductive layer being electrically connected to the second conductive layer.

Claims (21)

1. An organic light-emitting display apparatus comprising:

a display unit comprising an organic light-emitting element, a driving transistor electrically connected to the organic light-emitting element, and a capacitor electrically connected to the driving transistor, the capacitor comprising:

a first conductive layer disposed on a substrate;

a second conductive layer having a first portion and a second portion spaced apart from the first portion, the first portion interposed between the first conductive layer and the substrate facing a first surface of the first conductive layer; and

a third conductive layer disposed to face a second surface of the first conductive layer opposing the first surface of the first conductive layer, wherein

a portion of the third conductive layer is in direct contact with an upper surface of the first portion of the second conductive layer through a first contact hole that passes through a first insulating layer between the first portion of the second conductive layer and the first conductive layer such that the third conductive layer is electrically connected to the first portion of the second conductive layer, and

the first portion of the second conductive layer overlaps the organic light-emitting element.

2. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the second conductive layer is interposed between an active layer of the driving transistor and the substrate.

3. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the first portion and the second portion of the second conductive layer are spaced apart from each other on a same layer.

4. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein at least one of the first portion and the second portion of the second conductive layer comprises a light-shielding layer for blocking light.

5. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the second conductive layer overlaps the organic light-emitting element.

6. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the second conductive layer completely covers a planar area of the first conductive layer in a bottom view of the substrate.

7. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a fourth conductive layer disposed to face the third conductive layer on the second surface of the first conductive layer.

8. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the fourth conductive layer is electrically connected to the first conductive layer.

9. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 8 , wherein a portion of the fourth conductive layer directly contacts the first conductive layer.

10. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

in a plan view, an overlapping structure of the first conductive layer, the first portion of the second conductive layer, and the third conductive layer includes:

a first portion having a first width along a first direction; and

a protruding portion protruding from the first portion along a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction,

the protruding portion has a second width in the first direction that is less than the first width, and

a switching transistor electrically connected to the driving transistor and the capacitor is adjacent to the protruding portion.
