Abstract

An organic light emitting display apparatus includes: a substrate; a display unit including a plurality of subpixels arranged on the substrate, the plurality of subpixels respectively emitting different colored light; a sealing substrate arranged on the display unit; a micro lens unit including a plurality of micro lenses arranged on a surface of the sealing substrate facing the display unit; barrier ribs arranged between the sealing substrate and the substrate to define a space between the micro lens unit and the display unit; and a black matrix arranged under the barrier ribs.

Claims (29)

1. An organic light emitting display apparatus comprising:

a substrate;

a display unit including a plurality of subpixels arranged on the substrate, the plurality of subpixels respectively emitting different colored light;

a sealing substrate arranged on the display unit;

a micro lens unit including a plurality of lenses arranged on a surface of the sealing substrate facing the display unit;

barrier ribs arranged between the sealing substrate and the substrate to define a space between the micro lens unit and the display unit; and

a black matrix arranged under the barrier ribs.

2. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein each lens respectively corresponds to each subpixel.

3. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the barrier ribs define each subpixel.

4. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the barrier ribs define at least one subpixel.

5. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the sealing substrate, the micro lens unit, and the barrier ribs are integrally formed.

6. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the sealing substrate, the micro lens unit, and the barrier ribs are integrally formed.

7. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein each lens is curved toward the display unit.

8. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein each lens is curved toward the display unit.

9. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising a color filter arranged on a top surface of the sealing substrate.

10. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising a color filter arranged on a top surface of the sealing substrate.

11. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a single lens of the micro lens corresponds to a plurality of subpixels emitting the same color light.

12. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the barrier ribs are arranged between at least one pair of lenses.

13. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the sealing substrate, the micro lens unit, and the barrier ribs are integrally formed.

14. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 13 , wherein each lens comprises a cylindrical lens.

15. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 13 , wherein each lens comprises a lenticular lens.

16. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 15 , further comprising a color filter arranged on a top surface of the sealing substrate.

17. An organic light emitting display apparatus comprising:

a substrate;

a display unit including a plurality of subpixels arranged on the substrate, the plurality of subpixels respectively emitting different colored light;

a sealing substrate arranged over and spaced-apart from the display unit;

a micro lens unit including a plurality of lenses arranged on a surface of the sealing substrate facing the display unit corresponding different ones of the plurality of subpixels, and the lenses being curved toward the display unit;

barrier ribs arranged between the sealing substrate and the substrate to define a space between the micro lens unit and the display unit; and

a black matrix arranged under the barrier ribs.
