Display apparatus and manufacturing method thereof
View Patent ↗A display apparatus includes; a substrate, a transistor formed on the substrate, a pixel electrode connected to the transistor, a wall surrounding the pixel electrode, the wall including a main wall and a sub wall, the main wall having a first height and the sub wall having a second height less than the first height of the main wall, an organic layer formed on the pixel electrode, a common electrode formed on the organic layer, and an encapsulation substrate coupled to the substrate.
1. A display apparatus comprising:
a substrate;
a transistor on the substrate;
a pixel electrode connected to the transistor;
a wall on the transistor and having an opening exposing the pixel electrode, the wall including a main wall and a sub wall, the main wall having a first height and the sub wall having a second height less than the first height of the main wall;
an organic layer on the pixel electrode;
a common electrode on the organic layer; and
an encapsulation substrate coupled to the substrate,
wherein a portion of the common electrode between the encapsulation substrate and the main wall is spaced from the encapsulation substrate.
2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first height is about 50 micrometers (μm) to about 1000 micrometers (μm).
3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second height is about 10 percent to 50 percent of the first height.
4. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the wall is formed of a photoresist material.
5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the common electrode is disposed directly on the sub wall.
6. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first height and the second height is greater than a height of the pixel electrode.
7. The display apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the second height is about 0.5 micrometers (μm) to about 30 micrometers (μm).
8. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the substrate is encapsulated when the encapsulation substrate is coupled to the substrate.
9. The display apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the pixel electrode is formed at the encapsulated surface of the substrate.
10. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the encapsulation substrate comprises a first part and a second part, wherein the first part is substantially parallel to the substrate, and the second part extends from the first part toward the substrate.
11. The display apparatus according to claim 10 , further comprising a sealant interposed between the substrate and the second part, and which attaches the substrate to the encapsulation substrate.
12. The display apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the encapsulation substrate is formed by etching a glass plate.
