Abstract

An organic light-emitting display device is provided which achieves high efficiency by reducing the number of steps for vapor deposition using a mask with a fine pattern and photolithography. A blue light-emitting portion (B), a green light-emitting portion (G) and a red light-emitting portion (R) placed on a substrate 10 have a thickness relationship represented as (blue light-emitting portion (B)<green light-emitting portion (G)=red light-emitting portion (R)), so that the green light-emitting portion (G) and the red light-emitting portion are formed with common deposition steps. In addition, an electron injection layer 2 and an electron transport layer 3 between a lower electrode and an organic light-emitting layer 4 are formed with common depositions steps in the light-emitting portions (B, G and R).

Claims (18)

1. An organic light-emitting display device comprising:

a blue light-emitting portion, a green light-emitting portion and a red light emitting portion which are placed on a substrate;

an organic light-emitting layer in each of the light-emitting portions; and

an upper electrode and a lower electrode for causing each of the organic light-emitting layers to emit light,

wherein one of the upper electrode and the lower electrode is a transparent electrode, and the other is a reflecting electrode,

wherein the distances from the organic light-emitting layers to the upper electrodes are the same in at least two of the light-emitting portions;

wherein the three light-emitting portions have a film thickness relationship between the transparent electrode and the organic light-emitting layer represented as (blue light-emitting portion=red light-emitting portion<green light-emitting portion); and

wherein film thicknesses between the reflecting electrodes and the organic light-emitting layers are the same in said three light-emitting portions.

2. The organic light-emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein film thicknesses between the transparent electrodes and the organic light-emitting layers are the same in said two light-emitting portions.

3. The organic light-emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein film thicknesses between the reflecting electrodes and the organic light-emitting layers are the same in said two light-emitting portions.

4. The organic light-emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein film thicknesses between the transparent electrodes and the organic light-emitting layers are the same in the three light-emitting portions.

5. The organic light-emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the upper electrode is the transparent electrode and the lower electrode is the reflecting electrode.

6. The organic light-emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the upper electrode is the reflecting electrode and the lower electrode is the transparent electrode.

7. The organic light-emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein a film between the transparent electrode and the organic light-emitting layer is a hole transport layer when the upper electrode serves as an anode and the lower electrode serves as a cathode.

8. The organic light-emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein a film between the transparent electrode and the organic light-emitting layer is an electron transport layer when the upper electrode serves as a cathode and the lower electrode serves as an anode.

9. The organic light-emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of a film between the transparent electrode and the organic light-emitting layer is thicker in the green light-emitting portion and the red light-emitting portion than in the blue light-emitting portion, and the film has a higher electron mobility in the green light-emitting portion and the red light-emitting portion than in the blue-light emitting portion.

10. The organic light-emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the light-emitting portions are sequentially arranged such that the blue light-emitting portions are placed adjacent to each other.

11. The organic light-emitting display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a passivation layer on the transparent electrode, wherein the distances from the organic light-emitting layers to the passivation layers are the same in the three light-emitting portions.
