Discussion of the Related Art [0003] As society advances to an information-oriented society, interest in display apparatuses for displaying an image and the needs for using such display apparatuses are variously increasing. Thus, the display technology field has rapidly advanced. Therefore, various lightweight and thin flat display apparatuses have been developed, which have attracted much attention. Recently, display apparatuses, such as liquid crystal display (LCD) apparatuses and organic light emitting display apparatuses, are being used.

[0004] Organic light emitting display apparatuses are light self-emitting display apparatuses that display an image on a display panel through emitting of light from an organic emission layer disposed between two electrodes. Thus, organic light emitting display apparatuses do not need a separate light source such as a backlight unit unlike LCD apparatuses. Further, organic light emitting display apparatuses may be manufactured to be lightweight and thin. Also, organic light emitting display apparatuses are efficient in terms of power consumption by low voltage driving and have good in color implementation, response time, viewing angle, and contrast ratio. As a result, organic light emitting display apparatuses are attracting much attention as next-generation display apparatuses.

[0005] In organic light emitting display apparatuses, an image is displayed as internal light is discharged to the outside of a display apparatus, research for increasing internal light efficiency is continuously performed, and research for improving a reflectance based on external light is being performed.

The convex portions 143 may be defined having a point shape as shown in FIG. 2 by the adjacent concave portions 141. While not shown, the convex portions 143 may have a curved shape so that the adjacent light extraction patterns 140 have a surface with a wave shape.

[00103] The convex portion 143 may include an inclined portion having a curved shape between a bottom portion and the top portion (or peak portion). The inclined portion of the convex portion 143 may form or configure the concave portion 141. For example, the inclined portion of the convex portion 143 may be an inclined surface or a curved portion. The inclined portion of the convex portion 143 according to an embodiment may have a cross-sectional structure having Gaussian curve. In this case, the inclined portion of the convex portion 143 may have a tangent slope which increases progressively from the bottom portion to the top portion, and then decreases progressively.

[00104] The light emitting device EP may be disposed adjacent to the light extraction pattern 140 overlapping the emission region EA. The light extraction pattern 140 may be disposed between the light emitting device EP and the substrate 100. The light emitting device EP may include a first electrode El, a light emitting layer EL, arid a second electrode E2.

[00105] The first electrode El may be formed at (or over) the planarization layer in the subpixel area SPA. One end of the first electrode El which is close to the circuit area CA may be electrically connected to the drain electrode 119d (or the source electrode 119s) of the driving TFT Tdr via an electrode contact hole CH provided at or passing through the planarization layer 170 arid the protection layer 130.

[00106] As the first electrode El is formed (or deposited) over the planarization layer 170 to have a relatively thin thickness, the first electrode El may have a surface morphology conforming to a surface morphology of the light extraction pattern 140 including the convex portion 143 and the plurality of concave portions 141. The first electrode El may have a cross-sectional structure whose shape is the same as the light extraction pattern 140.

[00107] The light emitting layer EL may be formed over the first electrode El and may directly contact the first electrode El. As the light emitting layer EL is formed (or deposited) over the first electrode El to have a relatively thick thickness in comparison to the first electrode El, the light emitting layer EL may have a surface morphology which is different from the surface morphology in each of the plurality of concave portions 141 and the convex portion 143 or the surface morphology of the first electrode El. For example, the light emitting layer EL may be formed in a non-conformal shape which does not conform to the surface shape (or morphology) of the first electrode El by a deposition process, whereby the light emitting layer EL may have a cross-sectional structure whose shape may be different from the first electrode El. The light emitting layer EL according to an embodiment has a thickness that gradually increases toward the bottom surface of the convex portion 143 or the concave portion 141 [00108] The light emitting layer EL according to an embodiment includes two or more organic light emitting layers configured to emit white light. As an example, the light emitting layer EL may include a first organic light emitting layer and a second organic light emitting layer to emit white light by mixing a first light and a second light.

[00109] The second electrode E2 may be formed over the light emitting layer EL and may directly contact the light emitting layer EL. The second electrode E2 may be formed (or deposited) over the light emitting layer EL to have a relatively thin thickness compared to the light emitting layer EL The second electrode E2 may be formed (or deposited) over the light emitting layer EL to have a relatively thin thickness, and thus may have a surface morphology corresponding to the surface morphology of the light emitting layer EL. For example, the second electrode E2 may be formed in a conformal shape corresponding to the surface shape (or morphology) of the light emitting layer EL by a deposition process, whereby the second electrode E2 may have the same cross-sectional structure as the light emitting layer EL and may have a cross-sectional structure whose shape may be different from the light extraction pattern 140.

[00110] The second electrode E2 according to an embodiment may include a metal material having a high reflectance compared to the first electrode El to reflect the incident light emitted from the light emitting layer EL toward the substrate 100. For example, the second electrode E2 may include a single-layered structure or multi-layered structure of any one material selected of aluminum (Al), argentums (Ag), molybdenum (Mo), aurum (Au), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), or barium (Ba), or alloy of two or more materials selected from aluminum (Al), argentums (Ag), molybdenum (Mo), aurum (Au), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), or barium (3a). The second electrode E2 may be a cathode electrode [00111] The concave portion 141 or the convex portion 143 of the light extraction pattern 140 changes the traveling path of the light emitted from the light emitting layer EL to a second surface 100b which is the light emitting surface (or light extraction surface) 100b, to thereby increase the external extraction efficiency of the light emitted from the light emitting layer EL.

[00112] The organic light emitting display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a bank layer 190. The bank layer 190 may be disposed over the planarization layer 170 to cover an edge portion of the first electrode El. The bank layer 190 may be formed of an organic material such as benzocyclobutene (BC B)-based resin, acrylic-based resin, polyimi de resin, or the like.

[00113] The bank layer 190 may include a transparent material or an opaque material. The bank layer 190 may include a photosensitizer including a black pigment. When the bank layer 190 includes an opaque material or a black pigment, the bank layer 190 may be referred to as a black bank layer. In this case, when the bank layer 190 is a black bank layer, the bank layer 190 may function as a light blocking member, between adjacent subpixels SP.

[00114] The light extraction pattern 140 may be disposed to be wider than the emission region EA, and thus, the bank layer 190 may be disposed to overlap the light extraction pattern 140. An end (or a boundary line of the bank layer) of the bank layer 190 adjacent to the emission region EA may be disposed to cover an edge portion of an outermost pattern of the light extraction pattern 140.

[00115] An encapsulation portion 200 may be disposed between the light emitting device EP and the opposite substrate 300 [00116] The encapsulation portion 200 may be formed over substrate 100 to cover the second electrode E2. For example, the encapsulation portion 200 may surround the display area AK The encapsulation portion 200 may protect the thin film transistor and the light emitting layer EL or the like from external impact and prevent oxygen or/and water (or moisture) and particles from being permeated into the light emitting layer EL.

[00117] The encapsulation portion 200 according to an embodiment may include a plurality of inorganic encapsulation layer. Furthermore, the encapsulation portion 200 may further include at least one organic encapsulation layer interposed between the plurality of inorganic encapsulation layer. The encapsulation portion 200 according to another embodiment may further include a filler (or a filling member) surrounding (or completely surrounding) an entire display area AA. In this case, the opposite substrate 300 may be bonded to the substrate 100 by using the filler. The filler may include a getter material that absorbs oxygen or/and water (or moisture).

[00118] To describe the light extraction pattern 140 of the organic light emitting display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure in detail with reference to FIG. 4, the plurality of concave portions 141 of the light extraction pattern 140 may be arranged at a certain interval along a first direction X and may be arranged at a certain interval along a second direction Y intersecting with the first direction X. The first direction X may be a first lengthwise direction of a substrate or may be a long-side lengthwise direction, a widthwise direction, or a first horizontal direction of the display panel. The second direction Y may be a second lengthwise direction of the substrate or may be a short-side lengthwise direction, a lengthwise direction, a second horizontal direction (or a vertical direction) of the display panel.

[00119] According to an embodiment, the center portion CP of each of the adjacent three concave portions 141 may be aligned to form a triangular shape TS. In addition, center portions CP of six concave portions 141, which are disposed at a periphery of one concave portion 141 or surrounds one concave portion 141, may be connected with one another to two-dimensionally form a hexagonal shape HS. The outer periphery of each of the plurality of concave portions 141 may be disposed or arranged in a honeycomb structure, a hexagonal structure, or a circular structure in two-dimensionally (or in plan view).

[00120] The plurality of concave portions of the light extraction pattern 140 may have a rotated structure with respect to the first direction X or/and the second direction Y. For example, the light extraction pattern 140 may have a structure where the plurality of concave portions 141 have rotated about a reference point of an emission region with respect to the first direction X or/and the second direction Y. Throughout this description, the rotated structure of a light extraction pattern 140, or any portion thereof, may be considered to refer to a light extraction pattern 140 which is oriented (or angularly positioned) at an angle, such as at an angle about the reference point, or an angle about a center portion of each of the plurality of concave portions. For instance, throughout this description, a light extraction pattern 140 with a rotated structure may be considered to have an orientation (e.g., a rotational orientation -or angular position -in a plane defined by the first direction X and the second direction Y) about a reference point or a center portion of each of the plurality of concave portions.

[00121] According to an embodiment, when a center portion CP of one concave portion 141 of the plurality of concave portions 141 disposed along the first direction X is disposed or aligned in a first straight line SL1 parallel to the first direction X, a center portion CP of the other concave portion 141 disposed adjacent to the one concave portion 141 may be disposed not to be disposed or aligned in the first straight line SL1 parallel to the first direction X. For example, in the example of FIG. 4, the concave portions do not have a symmetry axis parallel to the first direction X. [00122] In addition, when the center portion CP of one concave portion 141 of the plurality of concave portions 141 disposed along the second direction Y is disposed or aligned in the second straight line SL2 parallel to the second direction Y, the center portion CP of the other concave portion 141 disposed adjacent to the one concave portion 141 may be disposed not to be disposed or aligned in the second straight line SL2 parallel to the second direction Y. For example, in the example of FIG. 4, the concave portions do not have a symmetry axis parallel to the second direction Y. [00123] The plurality of concave portions 141 of the light extraction pattern 140 may be configured to rotate by the rotation angle 03 which is greater than about 0 degrees and less than about 60 degrees, with respect to the arbitrary reference point within a pixel area. Throughout this description, a rotation angle of a light extraction pattern 140 may be considered to be an orientation (e.g., a rotational orientation -or angular position -in a plane defined by the first direction X and the second direction Y) about a reference point or a center portion of each of the plurality of concave portions. The orientation for each light extraction patterns may be measured with respect to the same reference point or reference direction (e.g., the first direction X or the second direction Y). For example, a rotation angle of the light extraction pattern 140 disposed at each of the plurality of pixels P may be set irregularly or randomly along one or more directions of the first direction X and the second direction Y within a range of the rotation angle 03 which is greater than about 0 degrees and less than about 60 degrees. Throughout this description, the rotation angle of a plurality of light extraction patterns in each subpixel may be measured about (and/or with respect to) the corresponding portion of each subpixel respectively. The arbitrary reference point may be an arbitrary position within the emission region EA of each of the first to fourth subpixels SP1 to SP4 of each pixel P. or may be a center portion CP of any one of the plurality of concave portions 141.

[00124] The plurality of concave portions 141 of the light extracti on portion 140 may be configured to rotate (or horizontally rotate) or reversely rotate (or horizontally and reversely rotate) by the predetermined third rotation angle 03 with respect to the arbitrary reference point.

[00125] In detail, when the plurality of concave portions 141 are disposed in a honeycomb structure, diagonal center lines DCL I and DCL2 passing through center portions CP of the plurality of concave portions disposed along diagonal directions DD1 and DD2 between the first direction X and the second direction Y may be respectively inclined from the first straight line SL1 and a second straight line SL2. For example, a first angle 01 between the diagonal center lines DCL1 and DCL2 and the first straight line SL1 may be about 30 degrees, and a second angle 02 between the diagonal center lines DCL1 and DCL2 and the second straight line SL2 may be about 60 degrees. When the concave portions 141 of the light extraction pattern 140 rotate at about 60 degrees with respect to the arbitrary reference point, the light extraction pattern 140 may be configured to be equal to a case where the concave portions 141 of the light extraction pattern 140 do not rotate with respect to the arbitrary reference point.

[00126] According to an embodiment, the center portion CP of each of the plurality of concave portions 141 disposed at the first direction X may be positioned or aligned at a first tilt line TL I intersecting with a first straight line SL 1. In addition, the center portion CP of each of the plurality of concave portions 141 disposed at the second direction Y may be positioned or aligned at a second tilt line TL2 intersecting with a second straight line SL2.

[00127] The first tilt line TL I may be inclined from the first straight line SL1 by the rotation angle 03 which is greater than about 0 degrees and less than about 60 degrees. For example, the rotation angle 03 between the first tilt line TM and the first straight line SL and/or a second straight line SL2 may be greater than about 0 degrees and less than about 60 degrees. For example, the first tilt line TL1 may be tilted or inclined from the first straight line SL1 and may pass through the center portions CP of the rotated concave portions 141 and may be a first tilt center line or a first center extension line, and the second tilt line TL2 may be tilted or inclined from the second straight line SL2 and may pass through the center portions CP of the rotated concave portions 141 and may be a second tilt center line or a second center extension line.

[00128] When the plurality of concave portions 141 are disposed in a honeycomb structure and rotated with respect to the reference point, a fourth angle 04 between the diagonal center lines DCL1 and DCL2 and the first tilt line TL] may be about 30 degrees, and a fifth angle 05 between the diagonal center lines DCL1 and DCL2 and the second straight line SL2 may be about 60 degrees. For example, a rotation angle 03 between the first straight line SL1 and the first tilt line TL] of the concave portions 141 or a rotation angle 03 between the second straight line SL2 and the second tilt line TL2 of the concave portions 141 may be greater than about 0 degrees and less than about 60 degrees.

[00129] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a pitch (or a distance) Li between the plurality of concave portions 141 disposed at each of the plurality of subpixels SP configuring the one pixel may be equal or different from each other. The pitch L 1 between the plurality of concave portions 141 may be a distance (or an interval) between the center portions CP of the two adjacent concave portions 141.

[00130] As an embodiment, the pitch Li between the plurality of concave portions 141 respectively disposed at a red subpixel, a green subpixel, a blue subpixel and a white subpixel may be equal or different from each other. For example, the pitch Ll between the plurality of concave portions 141 disposed at the green subpixel may be different from the pitch Li between the plurality of concave portions 141 disposed at the blue subpixel.

[00131] As another embodiment, the pitch Ll between the plurality of concave portions 141 disposed at the white subpixel and/or the green subpixel may be different from the pitch L 1 between the plurality of concave portions 141 disposed at the red subpixel and/or the blue subpixel.

[00132] As another embodiment, the numbers and/or densities of the plurality of concave portions 141 respectively disposed at the red subpixel, the green subpixel, the blue subpixel and the white subpixel may be equal or different from each other. For example, the numbers and/or density of the plurality of concave portions 141 disposed at the white subpixel and/or the green subpixel may be different from the number and/or density of the plurality of concave portions 141 disposed at the red subpixel and/or the blue subpixel.

[00133] The organic light emitting display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include the light extraction pattern 140 having a structure where the light extraction pattern 140 has rotated (or horizontally rotated) by a predetermined angle with respect to an arbitrary reference point, and thus, external light incident from the outside may be reflected from the inside of the organic light emitting display apparatus and a diffraction pattern caused by constructive interference of reflected light may be offset or minimized by the light extraction patterns 140 having different rotation angles, or destructive interference may be more amplified due to the irregularity or randomness of a rotation angle of the light extraction pattern 140, thereby preventing or minimizing the occurrence of a radial-shaped rainbow pattern (rainbow Mura) of the reflected light.

[00134] The organic light emitting display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may decrease or minimize the occurrence of rainbow Mura, and thus, may decrease a reduction in black visibility characteristic caused by the reflection of external light in a non-driving or off state, thereby implementing real black [00135] Hereinafter, some embodiments which set a rotation angle of the light extraction pattern 140 within the display area AA will be described.

[00136] Referring to FIGs. 5 to 7B, a display area AA of an organic light emitting display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include a plurality of pixel blocks PB[1,]] to PB[n,m].

[00137] The display area AA may be divided or blocked into nxm number of pixel blocks PB[1,1] to PB[n,m]. The plurality of pixel blocks PB[1,1] to PB[n,m] may be disposed along n number of rows and m number of columns in the display area AA. A pixel block-based rotation angle of the light extraction pattern 140 disposed in each of the plurality of pixel blocks PB [1,1] to PB[n,m] may be differently disposed by pixel block units, and different angles may be irregularly or randomly set.

[00138] For example, the pixel block-based rotation angles of the light extraction pattern 140 disposed at each of pixel blocks directly adjacent to each other along any one direction of the first direction, the second direction, and the diagonal direction among the plurality of pixel blocks PB [1,1] to PB[n,m] may have asymmetry, irregularity, or randomness.

[00139] The pixel block-based rotation angles of the light extraction pattern 140 disposed at each of pixel blocks directly adjacent to each other along any one direction of the first direction, the second direction, and the diagonal direction among the plurality of pixel blocks PB[1,1] to PB[n,m] may be differently set to 1 degree or more or 3 degrees or more within a range of 0 degrees or more and less than 60 degrees.

[00140] Some of pixel block-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at pixel blocks, which are not directly adjacent to each other along any one direction of the first direction, the second direction, and the diagonal direction of the plurality of pixel blocks PB[1,11 to PB[n,m] may be about 0 degrees or equal to one another.

[00141] In another embodiment, referring to FIG. 6, each of a plurality of pixel blocks PB[1,1] to PB[n,m] may include i xj number (or i number of rows and] number of columns) of pixel groups PG[1,1] to PG[i j].

[00142] For example, each of the plurality of pixel blocks PB [1,1] to PB[n,m] may include 20 pixel groups configured as a 5 x4 matrix, but embodiments according to present disclosure are not limited thereto [00143] Each of the plurality of pixel groups PG[1j] to PG[ij] may be configured as one pixel P. For example, the plurality of pixels P disposed at the display area AA may be grouped (or blocked) and may be included in each of the plurality of pixel groups PG[1,1] to PG[i,j].

[00144] One or more of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at a pixel P of each of the plurality of pixel groups PG[1,1] to PG[i,j] may be configured to rotate by a predetermined angle with respect to an arbitrary reference point within a corresponding pixel P. The rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 respectively disposed at a plurality of subpixels configuring the one pixel P may be pixel-based rotation angles.

[00145] For example, a pixel-based rotation angle of the light extraction pattern may be set to be equal to each of a plurality of subpixels SP configuring one pixel P, and thus, a rotation angle of a pixel P-based light extraction pattern 140 may differ, or rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 of a plurality of subpixels SP in the pixel P may be equal to one another (see FIG. 9).

[00146] According to an embodiment, the pixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at each of the i xj pixel groups PG[1,1] to PG[i,j] included in the pixel block PB[1,1] of 1 x 1 may have a difference of 1 degree or 3 degrees or more within a range of more than 0 degrees and less than 60 degrees.

[00147] For example, the pixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at one or more pixel groups, which are not adjacent to one another, of the pixel groups PG[1,1] to PG[i,j] included in the pixel block PB [1,1] of 1 x 1 may be about 0 degrees or may be equal to one another, and pixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at the other pixel groups (or remaining pixel groups) may be irregularly or randomly set within a range of more than 0 degrees and less than 60 degrees The pixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at each of the ixj number of pixel groups PG[1,11 to PG[i,j] corresponding to one pixel block of the pixel blocks PB[1,1] to PB[n,m] may be differently set to 1 degree or more or 3 degrees or more within a range of 0 degrees or more and less than 60 degrees along any one direction of a first direction, a second direction, and a diagonal direction.

[00148] According to another embodiment, the pixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at each of the i xj number of pixel groups corresponding to one pixel block of the pixel blocks PB[1,1] to PB[n,m] may be set to satisfy the following conditions 1 to 6 within a range of 0 degrees or more and less than 60 degrees.

[00149] Condition 1) the pixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at each of the i xj number of pixel groups PG[1,1] to PG[i,j] may have irregularity or randomness.

[00150] Condition 2) the pixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at each of two pixel groups PG[1,1] to PG[i,j] directly adjacent to each other along any one direction of the first direction, the second direction, and the diagonal direction may have a difference of 1 degree or more or 3 degrees or more.

[00151] Condition 3) the pixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at pixel groups PG[],1] to PG[i,j] which are not directly adjacent to each other along any one direction of the first direction, the second direction, and the diagonal direction may be about 0 degrees.

[00152] Condition 4) the two or more adjacent pixel groups PG[1,1] to PG[i,j], where the pixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 have a difference of 1 degree or more or 3 degrees or more, may be disposed between pixel groups PG[1,1] to PG[i,j] where pixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 are about 0 degrees.

[00153] Condition 5) the pixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at pixel groups PG[1,1] to PG[i,j] which are not directly adjacent to each other along any one direction of the first direction, the second direction, and the diagonal direction may be equal to one another.

[00154] Condition 6) two or more adjacent pixel groups PG[1,1] to PG[i,j] where the pixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 have a difference of 1 degrees or more or 3 degrees or more may be disposed between pixel groups PG[1,1] to PG[i,]] where pixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 are equal to one another.

[00155] As shown in FIGs. 7A and 7B, in a pixel block PB[1,1] of 1 x 1 (or 1 row 1 column), a rotation angle 03 of a light extraction pattern 140 disposed at a pixel block PB[1,j] of 1/] (or 1 row] column) may differ from a rotation angle 03 of a light extraction pattern 140 disposed at a pixel block PB[2,j] of 2 xj (or 2 row] column).

[00156] For example, the rotation angle 03 of the light extraction pattern 140 disposed at the pixel block PB[1,j] of 1 xj (or 1 row] column) may have a difference of 1 degree or 3 degrees or more with a rotation angle 03 of the light extraction pattern 140 disposed at a pixel block PB[2,]] of 2xj (or 2 row] column). For example, the rotation angle 03 of the light extraction pattern 140 disposed at the pixel block PB [1,j] of lxj (or 1 row] column) may be about 5 degrees. The rotation angle 03 of the light extraction pattern 140 disposed at the pixel block PB[2,]] of 2xj (or 2 row] column) may be about 15 degrees.

[00157] Therefore, in the organic light emitting display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, a pixel block-based rotation angle of the light extraction pattern 140 disposed in each of the plurality of pixel blocks PB[1,1] to PB[n,m] and a pixel group-based rotation angle of the light extraction pattern 140 disposed in each of the plurality of pixel groups PG[1,1] to PG[i,j] may be differently set, and different rotation angles may be randomly set, thereby offsetting or minimizing a diffraction pattern of reflected light caused by reflected light in the light extraction pattern 140 disposed in each of the plurality of pixels P. [00158] Moreover, according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the organic light emitting display apparatus may increase destructive interference due to the irregularity or randomness of the light extraction pattern 140 of each pixel P. and thus, the occurrence of a radial-shaped rainbow pattern and a radial-shaped circular ring pattern of reflected light may be prevented or minimized. Accordingly, a reduction in a black visibility characteristic occurring due to the reflection of external light in a non-driving or turning-off state of the light emitting display apparatus may decrease, and thus, real black may be implemented.

[00159] Referring to FIG. 8A, each of a plurality of pixel groups PG[1,11 to PG[x,y] included in one pixel block PB[1,11 may include four or more (or two or more) pixels P. For example, four pixels P adjacent to one another along a first direction X of a plurality of pixels P may be grouped into one pixel group.

[00160] According to an embodiment, in each of the plurality of pixel groups PG[1,1] to PG[x,y], a light extraction pattern 140 disposed in each of four pixels P may have a structure where the light extraction pattern 140 has rotated by a predetermined angle with respect to an arbitrary reference point of a corresponding pixel P. For example, in each of the plurality of pixel groups PG[1,1] to PG[x,y], a light extraction pattern 140 disposed at each of a plurality of subpixels included at each of four pixels P may be configured to rotate by the predetermined angle with respect to a center portion of one concave portion 141 within a corresponding subpixel.

[00161] A pixel group-based rotation angle of the light extraction pattern 140 disposed in each of the plurality of pixel groups PG[1,1] to PG[x,y] may be set to be equal to embodiments which set a pixel group-based rotation angle described above with reference to FIGs. 6 to 7B, and thus, repeated descriptions thereof are omitted. For example, the pixel group-based rotation angle of the light extraction pattern 140 disposed in each of the plurality of pixel groups PG[1,1] to PG[x,y] may be applied to the embodiments described above with reference to FIGs. 6 to 7B.

[00162] In the organic light emitting display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, a pixel block-based rotation angle of the light extraction pattern 140 disposed in each of the plurality of pixel blocks PB[1,1] to PB[n,m] and a pixel group-based rotation angle of the light extraction pattern 140 disposed in each of the plurality of pixel groups PG[1,1] to PG[i,j] included in each of the plurality of pixel blocks PB[1,11 to PB[n,m] may be differently set, and different rotation angles may be randomly set, thereby offsetting or minimizing a diffraction pattern of reflected light which occurs when external light is input to the inside of the organic light emitting display apparatus and the input light is reflected by the light extraction pattern 140 of each of the plurality of pixels P. [00163] Moreover, according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the organic light emitting display apparatus may further increase destructive interference due to the irregularity or randomness of the light extraction pattern 140, and thus, the occurrence of a radial-shaped rainbow pattern and a radial-shaped circular ring pattern may be prevented or minimized. Accordingly, a reduction in a black visibility characteristic occurring due to the reflection of external light in a non-driving or turning-off state of the light emitting display apparatus may decrease, and thus, real black may be implemented.

[00164] Referring to FIG. 8B, in the organic light emitting display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, one pixel block PB[1,1] may include a plurality of pixel groups PG[1,1] to PG[x,y]. A plurality of subpixels SP may be grouped (or blocked) into g/h number (or g number of rows and h number of columns) of subpixels and may be included in each of the plurality of pixel block PB [1,1] to PB[n,m].

[00165] According to an embodiment, in each of the plurality of pixel block PB[1,1] to PB[n,m], a light extraction pattern 140 disposed at each of a plurality of subpixels SP may be configured to rotate by a predetermined angle with respect to an arbitrary reference point within a corresponding subpixel. Rotation angles of light extraction patterns 140 respectively provided (or disposed) at each of the gxh number of subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] included in each of the plurality of pixel block PB [1,1] to PB[n,m1 may differ.

[00166] For example, the subpixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 provided (or disposed) at each of the gxh number of subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] included in a pixel block PB[1,1] of lx 1 (or 1 row 1 column) may differ. For example, the subpixel-based rotation angles of light extraction pattern 140 disposed at each of the gxh number of subpixels SP[],1] to SP[g,h] corresponding to one pixel block of the pixel blocks PB[1,]] to PB[n,m] may have a difference of 1 degree or 3 degrees or more within a range of more than 0 degrees and less than 60 degrees.

[00167] For example, the subpixel-based rotation angles of light extraction patterns 140 disposed at each of the gxh number of subpixels SP[],1] to SP[g,h] included in a pixel block PB[],1] of lx1 may have a difference of 1 degree or 3 degrees or more. The subpixel-based rotation angles of light extraction patterns 140 disposed at one or more pixel groups, which are not adjacent to one another, of the gxh number of subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] included in the pixel block PB[1,1] of 1 x 1 may be about 0 degrees or may be equal to one another, and subpixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at the other pixel groups (or remaining pixel groups) may be irregularly or randomly set within a range of more than 0 degrees and less than 60 degrees.

[00168] The subpixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at each of the g/h number of subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] corresponding to one pixel block of the pixel blocks PB[1,1] to PB[n,m] may be differently set to 1 degree or more or 3 degrees or more within a range of 0 degrees or more and less than 60 degrees along any one direction of a first direction, a second direction, and a diagonal direction [00169] In the organic light emitting display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the pixel block-based rotation angles of the light extraction pattern 140 disposed in each of the 0.1 number of subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] included in each of the plurality of pixel blocks PB[1,1] to PB[n,m] and the subpixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction pattern 140 disposed in each of the plurality of subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] included in each of the plurality of pixel blocks PB[1,1] to PB[n,m] may be differently set, and different rotation angles may be randomly set, thereby offsetting or minimizing a diffraction pattern of reflected light which occurs when external light is input to the inside of the organic light emitting display apparatus and the input light is reflected by the light extraction pattern 140 of each of the plurality of subpixels SP.

[00170] Moreover, according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the organic light emitting display apparatus may increase destructive interference due to the irregularity or randomness of the light extraction pattern 140 of each subpixel SP, and thus, the occurrence of a radial-shaped rainbow pattern and a radial-shaped circular ring pattern of reflected light may be prevented or minimized. Accordingly, a reduction in a black visibility characteristic occurring due to the reflection of external light in a non-driving or turning-off state of the light emitting display apparatus may decrease, and thus, real black may be implemented.

[00171] Referring to FIG. 9, the organic light emitting display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include gxh number of subpixels SP[],11 to SP[g,h], four subpixels SP may configure one pixel P, and a light extraction pattern 140 disposed in units of one pixel P may be configured to be rotated by a predetermined angle with respect to an arbitrary reference point of a corresponding pixel P. The light extraction pattern 140 disposed at the one pixel P may rotate by a rotation angle which is greater than about 0 degrees and less than 60 degrees with respect to an arbitrary reference point [00172] For example, a rotation angle of the light extraction pattern 140 disposed at each of the plurality of pixels P may be set irregularly or randomly along one or more directions of the first direction X and the second direction Y within a range of the rotation angle 03 which is greater than about 0 degrees and less than about 60 degrees. The arbitrary reference point may be an arbitrary position within a pixel P, or may be a center portion CP of any one of a plurality of concave portions 141.

[00173] First to fourth subpixels SP I, SP2 SP3, and SP4 of each pixel P may be configured to rotate (or horizontally rotate) or reversely rotate (or horizontally and reversely rotate) by the predetermined rotation angle with respect to the arbitrary reference point The light extraction patterns 140 respectively disposed at two adjacent pixels P of the plurality of pixels P may have different rotation angles [00174] For example, rotation angles of light extraction patterns 140 disposed in first to fourth subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[1,4] of a first row included in one pixel disposed at the first row may be equal to one another and rotation angles of light extraction patterns 140 disposed in first to fourth subpixels SP[2,1] to SP[2,4] of a second row included in one pixel disposed at the second row may be equal to one another, but a rotation angle of a light extraction pattern 140 disposed at one subpixel of the first to fourth subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[1,4] of the first row may differ from a rotation angle of a light extraction pattern 140 disposed at one subpixel of the first to fourth subpixels SP[2,1] to SP[2,4] of the second row or the rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at the first to fourth subpixels SP[2j] to SP[2,4] of the second row.

[00175] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 respectively disposed at two pixels P adjacent to each other of the plurality of pixels P may have a difference of 1 degree or more. The rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 respectively disposed at two pixels P adjacent to each other along one or more directions of the first direction X and the second direction Y may have a difference of 1 degree or more. For example, the light extraction patterns 140 respectively disposed at two pixels P adjacent to each other in all directions may have a difference of 1 degree or more.

[00176] For example, the light extraction pattern 140 disposed at an arbitrary pixel P of the plurality of pixels P may be configured in a structure which does not rotate, and the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at another pixel P adjacent to the arbitrary pixel P may be configured to have a rotation angle of 1 degree or more or 3 degrees or more.

[00177] Based on a difference between rotation angles of light extraction patterns 140 respectively disposed at adjacent pixels P, radial-shaped rainbow patterns (or diffraction pattern distribution) based on reflected light occurring in each of two adjacent pixels P may be offset or minimized, or based on irregularity or randomness, an offset effect may increase, thereby preventing a rainbow Mura phenomenon. Accordingly, a reduction in a black visibility characteristic occurring due to the reflection of external light in a non-driving or turning-off state of the light emitting display apparatus may decrease, and thus, real black may be implemented.

[00178] Referring to FIG. 10, the organic light emitting display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include gxh number of subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h], a light extraction pattern 140 disposed at each of a plurality of subpixels SP may be configured to rotate by a predetermined angle with respect to an arbitrary reference point within a corresponding subpixel.

[00179] Rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 respectively disposed at each of the gx11 number of subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] may differ from each other. A rotation angle of a light extraction pattern 140 disposed at each of the plurality of subpixels SP may denote a subpixel-based rotation angle of the light extraction pattern 140.

[00180] In detail, the subpixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at each of the gxh number of subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] may have a difference of 1 degree or 3 degrees or more. The subpixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at one or more pixel groups, which are not adjacent to one another, of the gxh number of subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] may be about 0 degrees or may be equal to one another, and subpixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at the other pixel groups (or remaining pixel groups) may be irregularly or randomly set within a range of more than 0 degrees and less than 60 degrees [00181] According to an embodiment, the subpixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at each of the gxh number of subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] may be differently set to 1 degree or more or 3 degrees or more within a range of 0 degrees or more and less than 60 degrees along any one direction of a first direction, a second direction, and a diagonal direction.

[00182] For example, rotation angles of first to fourth light extraction patterns 140a, 140b, 140c, and 140d respectively disposed at four subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[1,41 may be differently set to 1 degree or more or 3 degrees or more within a range of 0 degrees or more and less than 60 degrees. A rotation angle of a first light extraction pattern 140a configured at a first subpixel SP[ ,l] may be about 60 degrees or about 0 degrees where there is no rotation. A rotation angle of a second light extraction pattern 140b configured at a second subpixel SP[1,2] may be about 57 degrees. A rotation angle of a third light extraction pattern 140c configured at a third subpixel SP[1,31 may be about 53 degrees. A rotation angle of a fourth light extraction pattern 140d configured at a fourth subpixel SP[1,4] may be about 49 degrees.

[00183] According to another embodiment, the subpixel-based rotation angles of light extraction patterns 140 disposed at each of the gx1) number of subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] may be set to 0 degrees or more and less than 60 degrees so as to satisfy the conditions Ito 6.

[00184] Condition 1) the subpixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at each of the gxh number of subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] may have irregularity or randomness.

[00185] Condition 2) the subpixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at each of two subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] directly adjacent to each other along any one direction of the first direction, the second direction, and the diagonal direction may have a difference of 1 degree or more or 3 degrees or more.

[00186] Condition 3) the subpixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] which are not directly adjacent to each other along any one direction of the first direction, the second direction, and the diagonal direction may be about 0 degrees.

[00187] Condition 4) the two or more adjacent subpixels SP[1,11 to SP[8,11], where the subpixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 have a difference of 1 degree or more or 3 degrees or more, may be disposed between subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] where subpixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 are about 0 degrees.

[00188] Condition 5) the subpixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] which are not directly adjacent to each other along any one direction of the first direction, the second direction, and the diagonal direction may be equal to one another.

[00189] Condition 6) two or more adjacent subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] where the subpixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 have a difference of 1 degrees or more or 3 degrees or more may be disposed between subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] where subpixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 are equal to one another.

[00190] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, subpixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at each of the g /It number of subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] may be set differently or randomly.

[00191] The subpixel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 140 disposed at each of subpixels directly adjacent to each other along any one direction of the first direction, the second direction, and the diagonal direction may have asymmetry, irregularity, or randomness.

[00192] Some of subp xel-based rotation angles of the light extraction patterns disposed at each of subpixels, which are not directly adjacent to each other along any one direction of the first direction, the second direction, and the diagonal direction may be about 0 degrees or equal to one another.

[00193] Therefore, in the organic light emitting display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, input external light may be reflected from the inside of the organic light emitting display apparatus and a diffraction pattern of reflected light may be offset or minimized by a rotated angle of the light extraction pattern 140 of each of a plurality of subpixels SP, or based on the irregularity or randomness of a rotation angle of each subpixel SP, an effect of destructive interference may more increase, thereby preventing or minimizing the occurrence of a radial-shaped rainbow pattern (rainbow Mura) and a radial-shaped circular ring pattern of reflected light.

[00194] The organic light emitting display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may decrease or minimize the occurrence of rainbow Mura, and thus, may decrease a reduction in black visibility characteristic caused by the reflection of external light in a non-driving or off state thereby implementing real black.

[00195] FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating one pixel in an organic light emitting display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. In the following description, like reference numerals refer to like elements, and repeated descriptions are omitted.

[00196] As illustrated in FIG. 11, the organic light emitting display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may include a plurality of subpixels SP', SP2, SP3, and SP4, each subpixel SP may include a plurality of light extraction patterns 240 (240a, 240b, 240c, and 240d) in an emission region EA defined by a bank layer 290, and rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 240a, 240b, 240c, and 240d of the plurality of subpixels SP1, SP2, SP3, and SP4 may differ. In this case, the different rotation angles of the light extraction patterns 240a, 240b, 240c, and 240d may be randomly set. The light extraction pattern 240 (240a, 240b, 240c, and 240d) may include a plurality of concave portions 241 and a plurality of convex portions 243 which are respectively disposed near or between the plurality of concave portions 241. The convex portion 243 and the concave portion 241 may be connected with each other and alternately arranged in plurality.

[00197] In detail, adjacent first to fourth subpixels SP1 to SP4 of one pixel P may include a first subpixel SP1, a second subpixel SP2, a third subpixel SP3, and a fourth subpixel SP4, which emit lights of different colors. The first subpixel SP1 may be a red subpixel, the second subpixel SP2 may be a blue subpixel, the third subpixel SP3 may be a white subpixel, and the fourth subpixel SP4 may be a green subpixel. The emission areas EA of each of the first to fourth subpixels SP1, SP2, SP3, and SP4 may have different sizes (or areas) from each other.

[00198] Rotation angles 06, 07, 08, and 09 of the first to fourth light extraction patterns 240a, 240b, 240c, and 240d di sposed in the first to fourth subpixels SP1, SP2, SP3, and SP4 may have 3 or more-degree differences within a range of 0 degrees or more and less than 60 degrees. Here, a rotation angle may use, as a criterion, a line which connects center portions of concave portions 241 of the light extraction pattern 240 with one another.

[00199] In detail, a rotation angle of a first light extraction pattern 240a disposed in the first subpixel SP1 and a rotation angle of a second light extraction pattern 240b disposed in the second subpixel SP2 adjacent thereto may have a three or more-degree difference therebetween. The rotation angle of a second light extraction pattern 240b disposed in the second subpixel SP2 and a rotation angle of a third light extraction pattern 240c disposed in the third subpixel SP3 adjacent thereto may have a three or more-degree difference therebetween, and the rotation angle of the third light extraction pattern 240c disposed in the third subpixel SP3 and a rotation angle of a fourth light extraction pattern 240d disposed in the fourth subpixel SP4 adjacent thereto may have a three or more-degree difference therebetween [00200] To provide a description, for example, a rotation angle 06 of a first light extraction pattern 240a configured at a first subpixel SP1 may be 60 degrees or 0 degrees where there is no rotation. A rotation angle 07 of a second light extraction pattern 240b configured at a second subpixel SP2 may be 57 degrees. A rotation angle 08 of a third light extraction pattern 240c configured at a third subpixel SP3 may be 54 degrees or may be 53 degrees. When the rotation angle 08 of the third light extraction pattern 240c configured at the third subpixel SP3 is 54 degrees, the rotation angle 09 of the fourth light extraction pattern 240d configured at the fourth subpixel SP4 may be 51 degrees, or may be 49 degrees. When the rotation angle 08 of the third light extraction pattern 240c configured at the third subpixel SP3 is 53 degrees, the rotation angle 09 of the fourth light extraction pattern 240d configured at the fourth subpixel SP4 may be 50 degrees, or may be less than 50 degrees.

[00201] An outermost pattern of the plurality of light extraction patterns 240a to 240d disposed in each emission region EA may be disposed up to the outside of the emission region EA and may overlap the bank layer 290. In this case, the outermost pattern may have a rotated angle and may have the same rotation angle as that of the light extraction pattern 240 of the emission region EA of each subpixel SP.

[00202] Referring to FIG. 12, light extraction patterns 240 of a plurality of subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] in a display area AA may be arranged to have three or more-degree differences within a range where a rotation angle between subpixels having the same color is greater than 0 degrees and less than 60 degrees. A rotation angle may use, as a criterion, a line which connects center portions of concave portions 241 of' the light extraction pattern 240 with one another.

[00203] A subpixel-based rotation angle of the light extraction pattern 240 disposed in each of g/h number of subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] of the display area AA may be differently set to three degrees or more within a range of 0 degrees or more and less than 60 degrees along one direction of a first direction which is a short-side direction of the display area AA, a second direction which is a long-side direction of the display area AA, and a diagonal direction, and a set angle may have randomness.

[00204] For example, when the gxh number of subpixels SP[1,1] to SP[g,h] are disposed in the display area AA and subpixels of the same color are arranged in a column direction, a first subpixel SP[1,1] and a first subpixel SP[g, 1] of a g111 row which is a subpixel of the same color may be disposed apart from each other without being adjacent to each other, rotation angles of the first subpixel SP[1,1] and the first subpixel SP[g, 1] of the gth row may be set to have a three or more-degree difference within a range of 0 degrees or more and less than 60 degrees, and a set rotation angle may have randomness.

[00205] A rotation angle of the light extraction pattern 240 may be applied based on a combination of settings of rotation angles of light extraction patterns in the display area AA in the other embodiments described above with reference to FIGs. 5 to 10 [00206] Therefore, in the organic light emitting display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, input external light may be reflected from the inside of the organic light emitting display apparatus and a diffraction pattern of reflected light may be offset or minimized by a rotated angle of the light extraction pattern 140 of each of a plurality of subpixels SP, or based on the irregularity or randomness of a rotation angle of each subpixel SP, an effect of destructive interference may more increase, thereby preventing or minimizing the occurrence of a radial-shaped rainbow pattern (rainbow Mura) and a radial-shaped circular ring pattern of reflected light. The organic light emitting display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may decrease or minimize the occurrence of rainbow Mura, and thus, may decrease a reduction in black visibility characteristic caused by the reflection of external light in a non-driving or off state, thereby implementing real black [00207] A color filter layer 250 disposed between the light extraction pattern 240 and the substrate 100 may have a size which is wider than that of the emission region EA as illustrated in F IGs. 11 and 13. A color filter layer 250 may have a region having a size which is wider than that of a region of a plurality of light extraction patterns 240 in each subpixel SP except a white subpixel.

[00208] When the color filter layer 250 has a size which is wider than that of the light extraction pattern 240, the occurrence of light leakage where internal light is leaked to an adjacent subpixel SP may be reduced.

[00209] The color filter layer 250 may extend up to a portion of a circuit region CA and may be disposed to overlap a first electrode El connected with the circuit region CA. A color filter layer 250 corresponding to one subpixel SP may be disposed to extend up to a portion of a circuit region CA of the other subpixel SP adjacent or neighbor thereto [00210] For example, when the first subpixel SP1 is a red subpixel, the second subpixel SP2 is a blue subpixel, the third subpixel SP3 is a white subpixel, and the fourth subpixel SP4 is a green subpixel, a second color filter layer 250B corresponding to a blue second subpixel SP2 may be disposed up to a portion of a circuit region CA of the second subpixel SP2 to overlap a connection portion 222 of a first electrode El disposed between an emission region EA and the circuit region CA of the second subpixel SP2 and may be disposed up to a portion of a circuit region CA of each of the third and fourth subpixels SP3 and SP4 to overlap a connection portion 222 of a first electrode El disposed between an emission region EA and the circuit region CA of each of the third and fourth subpixels SP3 and SP4.

[00211] The second color filter layer 250B corresponding to the blue second subpixel SP2 may be disposed up to a portion of a circuit region CA of the first subpixel SP1 to overlap a connection portion 222 of a first electrode El disposed between an emission region EA and the circuit region CA of the first subpixel SP I. [00212] As another embodiment, the first color filter layer 250A corresponding to the red first subpixel SP1 may be disposed up to a portion of a circuit region CA of the first subpixel SP I to overlap a connection portion 222 of a first electrode El disposed between an em Sin, [00213] ssion region EA and the circuit region CA of the first subpixel As another embodiment, the third color filter layer 250D corresponding to the green fourth subpixel SP4 may be disposed up to a portion of a circuit region CA of the fourth subpixel SP4 to overlap a connection portion 222 of a first electrode El disposed between an emission region EA and the circuit region CA of the fourth subpixel SP4 [00214] Referring to FIGs 11, 13, and 14, in a case where a color filter layer 250 is disposed to overlap a connection portion 222 of a first electrode El disposed between an emission region EA and a circuit region CA, the connection portion 222 of the first electrode El may be used as a repair portion, and thus, when a hot or dark spot occurs, a subpixel SP may be repaired, thereby enhancing the reliability of driving. For example, the connection portion 222 of the first electrode El which is electrically connected to the driving TFT Tdr may be used as the repair portion.

[00215] In a case where a blue color filter layer 250B is disposed to overlap a connection portion 222 of a first electrode El disposed between an emission region EA and a circuit region CA of another neighboring or adjacent subpixel SP, when laser repair is applied, the blue color filter layer 250B having a relatively short wavelength may block a laser beam having a relatively long wavelength, thereby preventing or minimizing the damage of peripheral layers caused by a laser beam in performing repair.

[00216] The bank layer 290 defining an emission region EA may be disposed between emission regions EA of light extraction patterns 240 having a rotated structure to cover an edge of the first electrode El. The bank layer 290 may be disposed to overlap a plurality of lines PL, DL, and RL thereunder, between the emission regions EA.

[00217] The bank layer 290 may include an opaque material or a ph otosen si ti zer including a black pigment. The bank layer 290 may be formed of an organic material such as benzocyclobutene (BCB)-based resin, acrylic-based resin, polyimide resin, or the like. When the bank layer 290 includes an opaque material or a black pigment, the bank layer 290 may be referred to as a black bank layer. When the bank layer 290 is a black bank layer, the bank layer 290 may function as a light blocking member between emission regions EA of an adjacent subpixel SP and may prevent or minimize the reflection of internally scattered light to an adjacent or neighboring subpixel SR [00218] In a case where the bank layer 290 is disposed as the black bank layer between adjacent emission regions EA, the bank layer 290 may block an internal light path, and thus, it may not be needed to place a separate light blocking structure between adjacent emission regions EA, thereby decreasing the occurrence of a step height of stacked layers.

[00219] Therefore, in the organic light emitting display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, because the bank layer 290 is disposed as the black bank layer between emission regions EA, a boundary of the emission regions EA may increase or enlarge, thereby enhancing an aperture ratio.

[00220] The bank layer 290 may be the black bank layer and may be disposed to overlap the connection portion 222 of the first electrode El connecting an emission region EA with a circuit region CA of one subpixel SP, between the emission region EA and the circuit region CA of the one subpixel SP. In this case, in a case where the connection portion 222 is applied as a repair portion, the bank layer 290 to which the black bank layer is applied may minimize the damage of a light emitting device EP in performing laser repair.

[00221] The bank layer 290 may be the black bank layer and may be disposed to overlap an outermost light extraction pattern 240 of light extraction patterns 240 having a rotated structure. The outermost light extraction pattern 240 may also have a rotated structure. The bank layer 290 may be the black bank layer and may be disposed between light extraction patterns 240 having different rotation angles for each of adjacent subpixels SP.

[00222] Various internal lights of a display apparatus, as illustrated in FIG. 15, may occur through various scattering angles, and for example, external light may be input to the inside of the substrate 100 and thus reflected light by the concave portions 241 and the convex portions 243 of the light extraction pattern 240 may occur and may occur based on a refractive index difference of various layers (for example, 110, 117, 130, 250, and 170) thereof The movement of lights, generated through various scattering angles, to adjacent subpixels by the bank layer 290 which is the black bank layer disposed between light extraction patterns 240 having a rotated structure may be reduced, and thus, the organic light emitting display apparatus according to the present disclosure may prevent or reduce a color paleness phenomenon (see FIG. 16A) and may improve image quality as in a photograph of FIG. 16B.

[00223] The color paleness phenomenon may better occur due to the movement of light to an adjacent subpixel where the color filter layer 250 is not disposed. In the organic light emitting display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, as illustrated in FIGs. 13 and 15, the bank layer 290 which is the black bank layer may be disposed between a subpixel (for example, SP3) where the color filter layer 250 is not disposed and a subpixel (for example, SP2) where the color filter layer 250 is disposed, and thus, reflected lights may be absorbed by the bank layer 290 which is the black bank layer or the amount of reflection of reflected lights may decrease to minimize or prevent the movement of lights to the subpixel (for example, SP3) where the color filter layer 250 is not disposed, thereby decreasing the color paleness phenomenon.

[00224] The light extraction pattern 240 which is disposed in the emission region EA and has a rotated structure, as described above, may have irregularity or randomness, and thus, may offset or minimize constructive interference where light concentrates, thereby preventing rainbow Mura (see FIG. 17A). In the organic light emitting display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the bank layer 290 may be disposed as the black bank layer between emission regions EA of light extraction patterns 240 having a rotated structure, and thus, the concentration of light may be prevented or more minimized, thereby preventing a pearl phenomenon (seen FIG. 17B) where several portions are whitely seen due to the multi-interference of various scattered lights.

[00225] Therefore, in the organic light emitting display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the bank layer 290 may be disposed as the black bank layer between emission regions EA including the light extraction pattern 240 having a rotated structure, and thus, may prevent the movement of light to an adjacent subpixel SP or emission region EA, thereby enhancing an aperture ratio or decreasing a color paleness phenomenon [00226] Moreover, in the organic light emitting display apparatus according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, because the bank layer 290 may be disposed as the black bank layer between emission regions EA including the light extraction pattern 240 having an irregularly rotated structure, various scattered lights occurring through various paths such as internal reflection of external light input to the inside and reflection based on a refractive index difference of internal light may prevent concentration caused by constructive interference or may be offset, and multi-interference may be minimized, thereby preventing a phenomenon such as rainbow Mura and may preventing a speckle phenomenon and a pearl phenomenon as in a photograph of FIG. 17C [00227] In the organic light emitting display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, light extraction efficiency may be enhanced and reflected lights may be offset, and thus, the occurrence of a radial-shaped rainbow pattern and a radial-shaped circular ring pattern of reflected light may be prevented or minimized, whereby it may be seen that a black visibility characteristic is enhanced. Accordingly, the organic light emitting display apparatus according to the present disclosure may implement high efficiency and high luminance, extend a lifetime of a light emitting device (or an organic light emitting device), and decrease power consumption, thereby implementing low power.

[00228] The above-described feature, structure, and effect of the present disclosure are included in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, but are not limited to only one embodiment. Furthermore, the feature, structure, and effect described in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure may be implemented through combination or modification of other embodiments by those skilled in the art. Therefore, content associated with the combination and modification should be construed as being within the scope of the present disclosure.

[00229] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present disclosure without departing from the spirit or scope of the disclosures.
