Abstract

An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device includes a substrate, a pixel unit formed over the substrate and including a plurality of sub-pixels, and a non-pixel unit immediately neighboring the pixel unit. The pixel unit has an octagonal shape.

Claims (23)

1. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device comprising:

a substrate comprising a major surface;

a plurality of pixel units formed over the substrate, each pixel unit comprising a plurality of sub-pixels; and

a non-pixel unit surrounded by four of the plurality of pixel units when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the major surface,

wherein the plurality of sub-pixels in each pixel unit form an octagonal shape when viewed in the direction,

wherein the plurality of sub-pixels in each pixel unit comprise a first sub-pixel configured to emit light having a first color, a second sub-pixel configured to emit light having a second color which is different from the first color, and a third sub-pixel configured to emit light having a third color which is different from the first and second colors, wherein the second sub-pixel is interposed between the first and third sub-pixels when viewed in the direction,

wherein one edge of the first sub-pixel of each pixel unit opposes one edge of the third sub-pixel of an immediately neighboring pixel unit.

2. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device of claim 1 , wherein the first color is red, the second color is green, and the third color is sub blue.

3. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device of claim 1 , wherein a first one of the pixel units comprises a first edge and a second edge next to the first edge, wherein the first edge opposes one edge of the non-pixel unit and the second edge opposes one edge of an immediately neighboring pixel unit.

4. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device of claim 3 , wherein the first edge is longer than the second edge.

5. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device of claim 1 , wherein the non-pixel unit comprises four edges, each of which opposes an edge of one of the four surrounding pixel units.

6. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of sub-pixels of the pixel units are arranged to collectively form a stripe pattern which comprises bands of the sub-pixels parallel to one of the four edges of the non-pixel unit.

7. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of sub-pixels of the pixel units are arranged to collectively form a stripe pattern which comprises bands of the sub-pixels inclined with respect to one of the four edges of the non-pixel unit by an angle of about 45 degrees.

8. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device of claim 7 ,

wherein the second sub-pixels of some of the pixel units are arranged to form a band of the stripe pattern.

9. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device of claim 1 , wherein the non-pixel unit comprises a light transmission portion through which light is transmitted.

10. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device of claim 1 , wherein the non-pixel unit comprises a touch sensor portion.

11. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device of claim 1 , wherein the non-pixel unit comprises a white light emitting portion.

12. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device of claim 1 , wherein the second sub-pixel is in a rectangular shape when viewed in the direction.

13. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device of claim 12 , wherein the first sub-pixel is in a trapezoidal shape when viewed in the direction.

14. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device of claim 12 , wherein the first sub-pixel is in a polygonal shape when viewed in the direction.

15. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device of claim 12 , wherein one edge of the second sub-pixel of each pixel unit opposes one edge of the second sub-pixel of an immediately neighboring pixel unit.

16. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device of claim 12 , wherein one edge of the second sub-pixel of one of the pixel units opposes a first edge of a non-pixel unit, wherein a second edge of the non-pixel unit opposing the first edge thereof opposes one edge of the second sub-pixel of another pixel unit immediately neighboring the non-pixel unit.
