Display apparatus having protruding conductive layer and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

A display apparatus includes: a substrate having a display area and a peripheral area extending around a periphery of the display area; a pixel electrode in the display area; a pixel-defining layer on the pixel electrode and having a first sub-opening exposing a central portion of the pixel electrode; a bank layer on the pixel-defining layer and having a second sub-opening exposing a central portion of the pixel electrode; a first conductive layer on the bank layer and having a tip protruding outwardly beyond the pixel electrode and the second sub-opening; an emission layer over the pixel electrode and the first conductive layer and having an opening exposing a portion of an upper surface of the first conductive layer; and an opposite electrode on the emission layer and in direct contact with the first conductive layer through the opening in the emission layer.
