Abstract

The present invention provides an organic light emitting device in which an upper transparent electrode 10 of an organic light emitting device 2 is connected electrically at a contact hole portion 122 to a current supply line 121 disposed in the same layer as that of and extending in parallel with a gate line 106 . That is, a hole transport layer 5 and an electron transport layer 9 of the organic light emitting device 2 are formed over the entire display region, and then a contact hole portion 122 is removed to electrically connect the current supply line 121 and the upper transparent electrode 10 , thereby decreasing unevenness of luminance due to wiring resistance of the upper transparent electrode.

Claims (11)

1. A method of manufacturing an organic light emitting display device in which a driving layer containing a driving element for driving an organic light emitting element and the organic light emitting element are sequentially stacked above a substrate, and an upper transparent electrode, out of a pair of electrodes putting an organic layer of the organic light emitting element therebetween, and a current supply line, formed in a layer different from that of the upper transparent electrode, are connected electrically, and further including a data line arranged perpendicular to the current supply line, wherein

the method includes the steps of forming the organic layer excluding a light emitting layer therefrom over the entire display region and then removing, by laser scanning, the organic layer corresponding to a portion where the upper transparent electrode and the current supply line are electrically connected, wherein the laser scanning is conducted in a direction parallel with the data line and the laser scanning is applied over the data line.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a portion of the organic layer is removed in linear form.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a portion of the organic layer is removed in dot form.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the current supply line comprises a second current supply line and a first current supply line arranged in perpendicular with the second current supply line, and wherein the first current supply line and the second current supply line are formed in matrix form.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein emission light from the organic light emitting device has at least spectral components in blue, green, and red color regions, and the organic light emitting display device includes a color conversion layer outside the organic light emitting device.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said current supply line is formed in a layer in which a lower electrode, out of said pair of electrodes, is formed.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

providing an insulating film to electrically insulate the current supply line and the upper transparent electrode; and

forming a contact hole portion in the insulating film;

wherein the contact hole portion is formed at a position where the data line and the current supply line intersect.
