Organic electro-luminescent display and method of fabricating the same
An organic electro-luminescent display includes an anode electrode disposed in a pixel region, on a substrate, a bank adjacent to an edge of the anode electrode, on the substrate, to define the pixel region, a hole injection layer on the anode electrode, to be separated from a sidewall of the bank by a first distance, a hole transport layer and an emissive layer sequentially disposed on the hole injection layer, in the pixel region, and a cathode electrode disposed on the emissive layer.
1. An organic electro-luminescent display comprising:
an anode electrode disposed in a pixel region, on a substrate;
a bank adjacent to an edge of the anode electrode, on the substrate, to define the pixel region;
a hole injection layer on the anode electrode, to be separated from a sidewall of the bank by a first distance;
a lyophobic coating covering at least a portion of the first distance between the hole injection layer and the sidewall of the bank;
a hole transport layer and an emissive layer sequentially disposed on the hole injection layer, in the pixel region; and
a cathode electrode disposed on the emissive layer.
2. The organic electro-luminescent display of claim 1 , wherein the lyophobic coating is extended to be disposed between the sidewall of the bank and the hole transport layer, and between the sidewall of the bank and the emissive layer.
3. The organic electro-luminescent display of claim 2 , wherein the lyophobic coating comprises a material having a surface energy lower than a surface energy of an upper surface of the anode electrode.
4. The organic electro-luminescent display of claim 3 , wherein a thickness of the lyophobic coating is in a range from about 1 nanometer to about 10 nanometers.
5. The organic electro-luminescent display of claim 1 , wherein the lyophobic coating contacts an edge of the hole injection layer.
6. The organic electro-luminescent display of claim 1 , wherein the first distance is in a range from about 1 micrometer to about 10 micrometers.
7. The organic electro-luminescent display of claim 1 , wherein the bank overlaps an edge of the anode electrode.
