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 (41)

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

a substrate;

a protection layer on the substrate, the protection layer including comprising 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, the opening exposing 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 of the display device,

the trench pattern includes comprises a plurality of trenches, each trench having a dot shape,

each trench of the plurality of trenches overlaps the pixel defining layer in the plan view, and

each trench of the plurality of trenches is spaced apart from the first electrode in the 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 have one of a circular shape or a polygonal shape.

3. The organic light emitting diode display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of trenches are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance.

4. The organic light emitting diode display device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of trenches have a width of about 1.0 μm to about 3.0 μm.

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

a substrate;

a protection layer on the substrate, the protection layer comprising 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, the opening exposing 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 of the display device, and

the trench pattern has a concave cross-section, is spaced apart from the first electrode in the plan view, and is a single unit surrounding the first electrode in the plan view.

6. The organic light emitting diode display device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the trench pattern overlaps the pixel defining layer in the plan view.

7. The organic light emitting diode display device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a planar area of the trench pattern is less than a planar area of the pixel defining layer on a plane.

8. The organic light emitting diode display device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a height of the trench pattern is less than a height of the edge of the opening with respect to a surface of the substrate.

9. The organic light emitting diode display device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the trench pattern is spaced apart from the first electrode by a distance of about 1 μm to about 5 μm in the plan view.

10. The organic light emitting diode display device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the trench pattern has a depth of about 0.2 μm to about 1.0 μm.

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

a substrate;

a protection layer on the substrate, the protection layer comprising a trench pattern and recessed portions;

a first electrode layer on the protection layer, the first electrode layer comprising a plurality of first electrodes;

a pixel defining layer on the protection layer, the pixel defining layer defining openings, each opening exposing at least a part of one of the first electrodes;

an organic light emitting layer on the first electrode layer; and

a second electrode layer on the organic light emitting layer,

wherein:

each of the recessed portions overlap a corresponding opening of the openings and is spaced apart from an edge of the corresponding opening in a plan view of the display device,

the trench pattern comprises a plurality of trenches, each trench having a dot shape, and

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