Abstract

A transparent display device includes a substrate in which a sub-pixel having an organic light emitting diode and an auxiliary sub-pixel adjacent to the sub-pixel and having an auxiliary organic light emitting diode are placed, wherein the organic light emitting diode includes a 1-1 electrode in which a transparent conductive layer and a reflective layer are laminated, and the auxiliary organic light emitting diode includes a 1-2 electrode in which the transparent conductive layer is extended and provided.

Claims (32)

1. A transparent display device, comprising:

a substrate including an emission area where a sub-pixel having an organic light emitting diode are disposed, and a transmission area where an auxiliary sub-pixel adjacent to the sub-pixel and having an auxiliary organic light emitting diode are disposed,

wherein the organic light emitting diode includes a 1-1 electrode in which a first transparent conductive layer, a reflective layer, a second transparent conductive layer and an intermediate insulating layer which is interposed between the reflective layer and the second transparent conductive layer,

wherein the first transparent conductive layer, the reflective layer and the intermediate insulating layer are disposed in the emission area, and the second transparent conductive layer is disposed to extend from the emission area to the transmission area,

wherein the auxiliary organic light emitting diode includes a 1-2 electrode in which the second transparent conductive layer is extended and provided, and

wherein the auxiliary organic light emitting diode are arranged to correspond to an entire transmission area.

2. The transparent display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first transparent conductive layer is located on the reflective layer in the emission area, and

wherein the second transparent conductive layer is located under the reflective layer in the emission area.

3. The transparent display device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the reflective layer and the second transparent conductive layer are connected to each other in the emission area through an open hole penetrating the intermediate insulating layer.

4. The transparent display device according to claim 3 , wherein the intermediate insulating layer is located only in the emission area.

5. The transparent display device according to claim 4 , further comprising a passivation layer and an overcoat layer laminated between a circuit unit and the second transparent conductive layer,

wherein the overcoat layer is removed from the transmission area.

6. The transparent display device according to claim 5 , wherein the second transparent conductive layer is in contact with the overcoat layer in the emission area and with the passivation layer in the transmission area.

7. The transparent display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first transparent conductive layer is located under the reflective layer in the emission area, and

wherein the second transparent conductive layer is located on the reflective layer in the emission area.

8. The transparent display device according to claim 7 , further comprising a passivation layer and an overcoat layer laminated between a circuit unit and the second transparent conductive layer,

wherein the overcoat layer is removed from the transmission area.

9. The transparent display device according to claim 8 , wherein the second transparent conductive layer is in contact with the reflective layer in the emission area and with the passivation layer in the transmission area.

10. A transparent display device having a sub-pixel and an auxiliary sub-pixel adjacent to each other, comprising:

an organic light emitting diode of the sub-pixel disposed in the emission area and including a first-main electrode that has a first transparent conductive layer, a reflective layer, a second transparent conductive layer and an intermediate insulating layer which is interposed between the reflective layer and the second transparent conductive layer, and

an auxiliary organic light emitting diode of the auxiliary sub-pixel disposed in the transmission area, and including a portion of the second transparent conductive layer extended from the first main electrode that constitutes a first-auxiliary electrode,

an organic emission layer located on the first-main electrode and the first-auxiliary electrode and shared by the organic light emitting diode and the auxiliary organic light emitting diode; and

a second electrode disposed on the organic emission layer,

wherein the auxiliary organic light emitting diode are arranged to correspond to an entire transmission area.

11. The transparent display device according to claim 10 , wherein the first transparent conductive layer is located on the reflective layer in the emission area, and

wherein the second transparent conductive layer is located under the reflective layer in the emission area.

12. The transparent display device according to claim 11 ,

wherein the reflective layer and the second transparent conductive layer are connected to each other in the emission area through an open hole penetrating the intermediate insulating layer.

13. The transparent display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a bank layer disposed between the emission area and the transmission area.

14. The transparent display device according to claim 1 , wherein the emission area and the transmission area are adjacent to each other in the horizontal direction.

15. The transparent display device according to claim 14 , wherein the transmission area is an area where signal lines area not disposed.
