Abstract

An organic light-emitting display device and a method of manufacturing the organic light-emitting display device are provided. The organic light-emitting display device includes a plurality of pixels each including: a first region including a light-emitting region for emitting light, a first electrode and an emission layer covering the first electrode being located in the light-emitting region; and a second region including a transmissive region for transmitting external light through the display device. The display device also includes: a third region between the pixels; a first auxiliary layer in the first and third regions; a second electrode on the first auxiliary layer in the first and third regions; a second auxiliary layer covering the second electrode and located in the first and second regions and not in the third region; and a third electrode on the second electrode in the third region.

Claims (35)

1. An organic light-emitting display device comprising:

a plurality of pixels each comprising:

a first region comprising a light-emitting region for emitting light, the light-emitting region comprising:

a first electrode; and

an emission layer covering the first electrode; and

a second region comprising a transmissive region for transmitting external light through the display device;

a third region between the pixels;

a first auxiliary layer in the first and third regions;

a second electrode on the first auxiliary layer in the first and third regions;

a second auxiliary layer covering the second electrode in the first region, the second auxiliary layer further being located in the second region but not in the third region; and

a third electrode on the second electrode in the third region.

2. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the second electrode is not in the second region.

3. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the first auxiliary layer is not in the second region.

4. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 3 , wherein

the second electrode is in the second region, and

a thickness of the second electrode in the second region is less than a thickness of the second electrode in the first region.

5. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 3 , wherein

the third electrode is in the second region, and

a thickness of the third electrode in the second region is less than a thickness of the third electrode in the third region.

6. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the first auxiliary layer is in the second region.

7. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 6 , further comprising a third auxiliary layer in the second region between the first auxiliary layer and the second auxiliary layer.

8. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 7 , wherein the third auxiliary layer is not located in the first and third regions.

9. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 7 , wherein the third auxiliary layer comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)biphenyl-4,4′-diamine, N(diphenyl-4-yl)9,9-dimethyl-N-(4(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)-9H-fluorene-2-amine, 2-(4-(9,10-di(naphthalene-2-yl)anthracene-2-yl)phenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-benzo-[D]imidazole), m-MTDATA, α-NPD, and TPD.

10. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 6 , wherein

the second electrode is in the second region, and

a thickness of the second electrode in the second region is less than a thickness of the second electrode in the first region.

11. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 6 , wherein

the third electrode is in the second region, and

a thickness of the third electrode in the second region is less than a thickness of the third electrode in the third region.

12. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the third electrode is greater than that of the second electrode.

13. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein adhesion of the second electrode in the first and third regions is greater than adhesion of the second electrode in the second region.

14. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein adhesion of the third electrode in the first and second regions is lower than adhesion of the third electrode in the third region.

15. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the first auxiliary layer comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of tris(8-hydroxy-quinolinato)aluminum (Alq3), di-tungsten tetra(hexahydropyrimidopyrimidine), fullerene, lithium fluoride (LiF), 9,10-di(naphth-2-yl)anthracene (AND), and 8-hydroxyquinolinolato-lithium (Liq).

16. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the second auxiliary layer comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)biphenyl-4,4′-diamine, N(diphenyl-4-yl)9,9-dimethyl-N-(4(9-phenyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)phenyl)-9H-fluorene-2-amine, 2-(4-(9,10-di(naphthalene-2-yl)anthracene-2-yl)phenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-benzo-[D]imidazole), 4,4,4-tris(3-methylphenylphenylamino)triphenylamine (m-MTDATA), N,N′-bis(1-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenyl[1,1′-biphenyl]-4,4′-diamine (α-NPD), and 4,4′-Bis[N-(3-methylphenyl)-N-phenylamino]biphenyl (TPD).

17. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the second electrode and the third electrode comprise magnesium (Mg).
