Abstract
An organic light emitting display is provided with a height of a pixel defining layer formed on a planarization layer in a region where a first electrode is not formed, being formed to be lower than or equal to that of the pixel defining layer formed on the first electrode. In the process of forming the organic layer pattern, a distance between a donor substrate laminated on a substrate and the first electrode is minimized to allow the transfer to be performed with a low energy of laser beam. Accordingly, it is possible to improve energy efficiency of the laser beam. With this process, it is possible to improve efficiency and the lifetime of the device because the transfer energy is low.
Claims16
An organic light emitting display, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a thin film transistor formed on the substrate;
- a passivation layer formed over the thin film transistor;
- a planarization layer formed on an entire surface of the passivation layer;
- a first electrode formed in a predetermined region on the planarization layer and connected to any one of source and drain electrodes of the thin film transistor through a via hole formed in the planarization layer and the passivation layer;
- a pixel defining layer formed on the planarization layer and the first electrode, said pixel defining layer being patterned to form an opening exposing at least a part of the first electrode;

- and
- a second electrode formed on the organic layer pattern;
- wherein a height of the pixel defining layer formed on the planarization layer in a region where the first electrode is not formed is not greater than a height of the pixel defining layer formed on the first electrode.
