Abstract

An organic light emitting display device includes a first substrate, a pixel structure, a second substrate, a reflective member, and a light transmitting member. The first substrate includes a plurality of pixel regions. Each of the pixel regions has sub-pixel regions and a reflective region surrounding the sub-pixel regions. The pixel structure is disposed in each of the sub-pixel regions on the first substrate. The second substrate is disposed on the pixel structure. The reflective member has an opening disposed in each of the sub-pixel regions, and is disposed in the reflective region of the second substrate. The light transmitting member covers the opening of the reflective member and partially overlaps the reflective member. The light transmitting member blocks ultraviolet rays and transmits a predetermined light.

Claims (41)

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

a first substrate including a plurality of pixel regions, each of the pixel regions having sub-pixel regions and a reflective region surrounding the sub-pixel regions;

a pixel structure in each of the sub-pixel regions on the first substrate;

a second substrate on the pixel structure;

a reflective member having an opening disposed in each of the sub-pixel regions, the reflective member being in the reflective region of the second substrate; and

a light transmitting member covering the opening of the reflective member and partially overlapping the reflective member, the light transmitting member transmitting a predetermined light.

2. The OLED device of claim 1 , wherein the reflective member includes:

a first surface in contact with the second substrate; and

a second surface opposite to the first surface,

wherein opposite side portions of the light transmitting member are disposed on the second surface of the reflective member surrounding the light transmitting member such that the light transmitting member overlaps at least a portion of the reflective member.

3. The OLED device of claim 1 , wherein the reflective member includes:

a first surface in contact with the second substrate; and

a second surface opposite to the first surface,

wherein adjacent two light transmitting members among the light transmitting members disposed in the sub-pixel regions are contacted to each other on the second surface of the reflective member to completely cover the second surface of the reflective member.

4. The OLED device of claim 1 , wherein the reflective member includes:

a first surface facing the second substrate; and

a second surface opposite to the first surface,

wherein adjacent two light transmitting members among the light transmitting members disposed in the sub-pixel regions are contacted to each other between the first surface of the light transmitting member and the second substrate such that the first surface of the reflective member is spaced apart from the second substrate.

5. The OLED device of claim 4 , wherein the adjacent two light transmitting members are overlapped between the first surface of the reflective member and the second substrate.

6. The OLED device of claim 5 , wherein a color of the overlapped two light transmitting members is different from each other.

7. The OLED device of claim 5 , wherein thicknesses of the overlapped two light transmitting members between the first surface of the reflective member and the second substrate are the same to each other.

8. The OLED device of claim 5 , wherein thicknesses of the overlapped two light transmitting members between the first surface of the reflective member and the second substrate are different from each other.

9. The OLED device of claim 1 , wherein the openings of the reflective member includes first through (N)th openings, where N is an integer greater than 1,

wherein the reflective member is separated by the openings, and

wherein the light transmitting member is disposed in a (K)th opening among the first through (N)th openings and at least a portion of the reflective member surrounding the (K)th opening, where K is an integer between 1 and N.

10. The OLED device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a transflective layer interposed between the second substrate and the reflective and light transmitting members,

wherein the transflective layer is disposed in the sub-pixel region and the reflective region on the second substrate, wherein a thickness of the transflective layer is less than a thickness of the reflective member, and wherein a light transmissivity of the transflective layer is greater than a light transmissivity of the reflective member.

11. The OLED device of claim 1 , wherein the reflective member includes:

a first surface facing the second substrate; and

a second surface opposite to the first surface,

wherein a first side of the light transmitting member is disposed on the second surface of the reflective member such that the light transmitting member overlaps at least a portion of the reflective member surrounding the light transmitting member, and a second side of the light transmitting member is interposed between the first surface of the reflective member and the second substrate.

12. The OLED device of claim 1 , wherein the second substrate includes at least one inorganic layer and at least one organic layer, wherein the inorganic layer and the organic layer are alternately disposed on the pixel structure, and wherein the reflective member is disposed in the reflective region on the second substrate.

13. The OLED device of claim 1 , wherein the light transmitting member blocks ultraviolet rays, and includes a material having a predetermined color.

14. The OLED device of claim 1 , wherein the pixel structure includes:

a lower electrode on the first substrate;

a light emitting layer on the lower electrode; and

an upper electrode on the light emitting layer, and

wherein light emitted in the light emitting layer transmits the light transmitting member, and the light emitting layer and the light transmitting member disposed on the light emitting layer have the same color.

15. The OLED device of claim 14 , wherein the opening of the reflective member exposes the light emitting layer, when viewed from a direction substantially perpendicular to an upper surface of the second substrate, and wherein a size of the opening of the reflective member is greater than a size of the light emitting layer.

16. The OLED device of claim 1 , wherein the light transmitting member overlaps the sub-pixel region and at least a portion of the reflective region, and the reflective member has a mesh structure defined by a plurality of openings.
