BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an organic light-

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an organic light emitting display, and more particularly, to an organic light emitting display having an optimal aperture ratio for each sub-pixel without changing the driving elements.

The organic light emitting diode (OLED) is a self-emissive type display device, and unlike a liquid crystal display (LCD), a separate light source is not required, so that it can be manufactured in a light and thin shape. Further, the organic light emitting display device is not only advantageous from the viewpoint of power consumption by low voltage driving, but also excellent in color implementation, response speed, viewing angle, and contrast ratio (CR), and is being studied as a next generation display.

1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a general organic light emitting display device. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional bottom emission organic light emitting display 100 for one sub-pixel SP for convenience of explanation. The bottom emission type organic light emitting display device refers to an organic light emitting display device in which light emitted from an organic light emitting device is emitted to a lower portion of the organic light emitting display device, The organic light emitting display device according to the present invention is an organic light emitting display device that emits light toward the bottom surface of a substrate on which a thin film transistor is formed.

1, a thin film transistor 120 is formed as a driving device for driving an organic light emitting diode 130 in a driving region DA on a substrate 110, and a thin film transistor 120 and a color filter 140, An overcoat layer 151 for planarizing the upper portion is formed. An organic light emitting device 130 including an anode 131, an organic light emitting layer 132, and a cathode 133 electrically connected to the thin film transistor 120 is formed on the overcoat layer 151. If the organic light emitting diode display 100 is a bottom emission organic light emitting display, the anode 131 is formed of a transparent conductive material having a high work function and the cathode 133 is formed of a reflective metal material having a low work function . The organic light emitting layer 132 is an organic light emitting layer for emitting white light and the light emitted from the organic light emitting layer 132 passes through the color filter 140 and is emitted toward the lower surface of the substrate 110 on which the thin film transistor 120 is formed . The bank layer 152 is formed on the overcoat layer 151 to define the light emitting region EA.

In general, one pixel of an organic light emitting display device is composed of a plurality of sub-pixels. Since each of the plurality of sub-pixels is a sub-pixel for emitting light of a different color, it is an important technical problem to secure an aperture ratio for each sub-pixel for achieving the optimum luminance for each color. Here, the aperture ratio is the ratio of the light emitting region to the sub-pixel, and optimizing the aperture ratio is highly related to the improvement in the lifetime of the organic light emitting element.

1, in the sub-pixel SP of the organic light emitting diode display 100, light emitted from the organic light emitting diode 130 is transmitted through a driving region DA including a driving element such as the thin film transistor 120 It can not be released. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to secure the aperture ratio in the organic light emitting display device.

It may be considered to reduce the area of the driving region of the sub-pixel in order to secure the aperture ratio in the organic light emitting display. However, since the driving region of the sub-pixel is optimized in accordance with the characteristics of the actual product, when the number and / or size of the thin film transistors, capacitors, and the like disposed in the driving region are reduced to reduce the area of the driving region, The reliability of the apparatus may be degraded.

On the other hand, it may be considered to increase the area of the pixel in order to secure the aperture ratio of the organic light emitting display device. However, the area of the pixel of the organic light emitting display device is determined by the resolution of the organic light emitting display device. In particular, in the case of the high resolution organic light emitting display device, the area of the sub pixel is considerably small. Therefore, it is practically impossible to secure the aperture ratio by increasing the pixel area because the area of the pixel itself is limited by the resolution of the organic light emitting display device.

In FIG. 2, only one of the plurality of pixels P of the organic light emitting display 200 is shown for convenience of explanation.

Each of the plurality of pixels P includes a plurality of sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G. The plurality of sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B and SP_G includes a red subpixel SP_R for emitting red light, a white subpixel SP_W for emitting white light, a blue subpixel SP_B for emitting blue light, And a green sub-pixel SP_G for emitting green light. The organic light emitting display device 200 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a red sub pixel SP_R, a green sub pixel SP_G and a blue sub pixel SP_B as well as a white sub pixel SP_W for emitting white light Further, the luminance of the organic light emitting display 200 can be improved.

A plurality of sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, SP_G are sequentially arranged in the first direction within the pixel P. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, white subpixels SP_W are arranged adjacent to one side of the red subpixel SP_R in the first direction, and white subpixels SP_W are arranged on one side of the white subpixel SP_W The blue sub-pixels SP_B are arranged adjacent to each other, and the green sub-pixels SP_G are arranged adjacent to one side of the blue sub-pixel SP_B in the first direction. The first direction may be the x-axis direction as shown in Fig. 2, subpixels are arranged in the order of red subpixel SP_R, white subpixel SP_W, blue subpixel SP_B, and green subpixel SP_G. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, (SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G) can be variously changed.

Referring to FIG. 2, each of the plurality of sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G has a shape extending in a second direction. 2, each of the red subpixel SP_R, the white subpixel SP_W, the blue subpixel SP_B, and the green subpixel SP_G is connected to one end of the pixel P, As shown in Fig. The second direction means a direction different from the first direction. The second direction may be, for example, a y-axis direction perpendicular to the first direction as shown in Fig. 2, but is not limited thereto.

Each of the plurality of sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G includes a light emitting area EA_R, EA_W, EA_B, and EA_G for emitting light to the outside of the organic light emitting display device 200, DA_R, DA_W, DA_B and DA_G in which driving elements such as the thin film transistor 320 for driving are arranged. EA_R, EA_W, EA_B, and EA_G of the respective subpixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G and driving regions DA_R, DA_W, and DA_B of the organic light emitting diode display 200 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. , DA_G) are discrete regions that can not overlap each other. In FIG. 2, the light emitting regions EA_R, EA_W, EA_B, and EA_G and the driving regions DA_R, DA_W, DA_B, and DA_G of the plurality of sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G are formed in a rectangular shape The shapes of the light emitting regions EA_R, EA_W, EA_B, and EA_G and the driving regions DA_R, DA_W, DA_B, and DA_G are not limited thereto.

The areas of the driving regions DA_R, DA_W, DA_B, and DA_G of the plurality of sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B and SP_G are determined by the resolution of the organic light emitting display device 200, And the like, for example. For example, the area of the pixel P is determined based on the resolution of the organic light emitting display device 200, and the area of the pixel P is divided into a plurality of subpixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, SP_G The areas of the driving areas DA_R, DA_W, DA_B, and DA_G of the respective sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G can be determined based on the required current for each sub-pixel. Thereafter, the areas of the driving regions DA_R, DA_W, DA_B, and DA_G may be optimized based on the device characteristics of the organic light emitting elements disposed in the sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G. However, the above-described determination method is merely one example, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

2, the widths d1, d2, d3 and d4 in the first direction of the driving regions DA_R, DA_W, DA_B and DA_G of the plurality of sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B and SP_G are equal to each other Do. That is, the width d1 of the driving area DA_R of the red subpixel SP_R in the first direction, the width d2 of the driving area DA_W of the white subpixel SP_W in the first direction, The width d2 of the driving area DA_W of the green sub-pixel SP_B and the width d4 of the driving area DA_G of the green sub-pixel SP_G in the first direction are all the same. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 2, if the driving areas DA_R, DA_W, DA_B, and DA_G of the plurality of sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, DA_W, DA_B, and DA_G of the first, second, and third driving regions SP_B, SP_G may also be the same. If the areas of the driving areas DA_R, DA_W, DA_B and DA_G of the plurality of sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B and SP_G are different from each other, the driving of each of the plurality of sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B and SP_G The widths of the regions DA_R, DA_W, DA_B, and DA_G in the second direction may be different.

In the present specification, the widths of the two structures are the same, but the widths of the two structures do not exactly coincide with each other, but may be determined to be substantially the same .

The area of the light emitting region of one sub-pixel among the adjacent sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G is larger than the area of the light emitting region of the other sub-pixel. Here, a sub-pixel having a relatively large emission region is a white sub-pixel SP_W or a blue sub-pixel SP_B, and a sub-pixel having a relatively small emission region is a red sub-pixel SP_R or a green sub- to be. In the OLED display 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the light emitting area EA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B having a relatively short lifetime as compared with the other sub-pixels SP_R and SP_G, The area of the light emitting area EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W is made larger than the area of the light emitting areas EA_R and EA_G of the other sub-pixels SP_R and SP_G to improve the overall luminance of the organic light- The lifetime and brightness of the device 200 can be improved.

Referring to FIG. 2, the area of the light emitting area EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W is larger than the area of the light emitting area EA_R of the red sub-pixel SP_R adjacent to the white sub-pixel SP_W. In particular, the light emitting region EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W includes a region projected toward the red sub-pixel SP_R. Therefore, the width d6 of the light emitting area EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W in the first direction is larger than the width d5 of the light emitting area EA_R of the red sub-pixel SP_R in the first direction. Similarly, the area of the light emitting region EA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B is larger than the area of the light emitting region EA_G of the green sub-pixel SP_G adjacent to the blue sub-pixel SP_B, The light emitting region EA_B includes a region projected toward the green sub-pixel SP_G. Therefore, the width d7 of the luminescent area EA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B in the first direction is larger than the width d8 of the luminescent area EA_G of the green sub-pixel SP_G in the first direction.

In general, the area of a pixel of the organic light emitting display is determined by the resolution of the organic light emitting display. That is, a high resolution organic light emitting display device is composed of pixels having a smaller area than an organic light emitting display device of low resolution, and each pixel is composed of a plurality of sub pixels. It is important that a plurality of sub-pixels are regions for emitting light of a specific color and that the sub-pixels achieve the optimum luminance for the color of the light emitted by each of the sub-pixels. In particular, . However, when the organic light emitting display device is designed as a high-resolution organic light emitting display device as described above, it is difficult to secure the aperture ratio of each of the sub-pixels included in the pixel because the pixel size itself is small. Particularly, in the sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B and SP_G of the OLED display 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention, The driving regions DA_R, DA_W, DA_B, and DA_G occupied by the driving elements such as transistors do not emit light, so that it is difficult to secure the aperture ratio in the organic light emitting display device 200. In addition, since the driving region of the sub-pixel generally has an area optimized in accordance with the product characteristic, reducing the area of the driving region of the sub-pixel leads to deterioration of the performance and reliability of the organic light emitting element. Therefore, it is considerably difficult to secure the aperture ratio of each sub-pixel without changing the area of the pixel in a pixel having a limited area and the area of the driving area of each sub-pixel designed optimally. That is, since the pixel region corresponding to a desired resolution is limited, there is a limit to securing an aperture ratio that matches a desired ratio for each sub-pixel. Therefore, in the present invention, a desired aperture ratio is secured for each sub-pixel by changing the shape of the wiring without changing the area of the driving region of the sub-pixel.

In the OLED display 200 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the area of the pixel P that is designed optimally and the driving areas DA_R, DA_W, DA_B, and DA_G of the respective subpixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G) of the sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G only by changing the sizes of the light emitting regions EA_R, EA_W, EA_B, and EA_G of the sub- Thereby providing an optimal aperture ratio. More specifically, the width d1 of the driving area DA_R of the red sub-pixel SP_R, the width d2 of the driving area DA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W, the driving area DA_B of the blue sub- The width d6 of the light emitting area EA_W of the white subpixel SP_W and the width d2 of the light emitting area EW_W of the white subpixel SP_W in a state in which the width d3 of the green subpixel SP_G and the width d4 of the driving area DA_G of the green subpixel SP_G are kept the same, The width d7 of the light emitting area EA_B of the blue sub pixel SP_B is equal to the width d5 of the light emitting area EA_R of the red sub pixel SP_R and the width d5 of the light emitting area EA_G of the green sub pixel SP_G (d8). Thus, the organic light emitting display device 200 can be driven without changing the size of the driving areas DA_R, DA_W, DA_B, and DA_G of the respective subpixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G in the pixel P having the limited area. The width d6 of the light emitting area EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W and the width d7 of the light emitting area EA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B can be increased to improve the lifetime and brightness of the blue sub- Therefore, the lifetime and brightness of the organic light emitting display can be improved without lowering the reliability of the organic light emitting display.

That is, a closed region on the substrate 310, defined by two first wirings 360 extending in the first direction and two second wirings 370 extending in the second direction, SP_W, SP_B, SP_G). The red subpixel SP_R, the white subpixel SP_W, the blue subpixel SP_B, and the green subpixel SP_G may be defined by the first wiring 360 and the second wiring 370, Do not. The sub-pixel may be included even if the first wiring 36 or the second wiring 370 share at least one sub-pixel.

An organic light emitting element is disposed in the red subpixel SP_R, the white subpixel SP_W, the blue subpixel SP_B and the green subpixel SP_G to emit light to the outside of the organic light emitting display 300 DA_R, DA_R, DA_R, DA_R, DA_R, EA_R, EA_W, EA_B, and EA_G in which driving elements such as a thin film transistor 320 for driving an organic light emitting element are disposed.

The organic light emitting elements arranged in the light emitting regions EA_R, EA_W, EA_B and EA_G of the red sub-pixel SP_R, the white sub-pixel SP_W, the blue sub-pixel SP_B and the green sub- , 331W, 331B, and 331G), an organic light emitting layer, and a cathode. If the organic light emitting display 300 is a bottom emission organic light emitting display, the anodes 331R, 331W, 331B, and 331G are formed of a transparent conductive material having a high work function, and the cathode is made of a reflective metal material having a low work function . The organic light emitting layer is an organic light emitting layer for emitting white light, and the light emitted from the organic light emitting layer passes through the color filter and is emitted toward the lower surface of the substrate 310 on which the thin film transistor 320 is formed. However, the light emitted from the organic light emitting layer of the white sub-pixel SP_W is emitted toward the bottom surface of the substrate 310 without passing through the color filter. 3, only the anode 331R, 331W, 331B, and 331G disposed in the sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G are omitted from the illustration .

Although not shown in the drawing, the organic light emitting layer may include two light emitting layers of a blue light emitting layer and a yellow-green light emitting layer to emit white light. In this case, the blue sub-pixel SP_B or the white sub-pixel SP_W may have a shape protruding toward the red sub-pixel SP_R or the green sub-pixel SP_G. Therefore, the area of the light emitting area EA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B or the area of the light emitting area EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W is the area of the light emitting area EA_R of the red sub- Emitting area EA_G of the light-emitting layer SP_G. By doing so, the efficiency and the luminance of the blue sub-pixel SP_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B can be improved. Alternatively, the area of the light emitting region EA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B may be larger than the light emitting region EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W to further improve the efficiency of the blue sub-pixel SP_B . Here, the blue light emitting layer may include a blue light emitting layer, a sky blue light emitting layer, and a deep blue light emitting layer. The emission band of the blue light emitting layer may range from 440 nm to 480 nm. The emission band of the yellow-green light-emitting layer may range from 510 nm to 580 nm.

The organic luminescent layer is composed of three luminescent layers of a blue luminescent layer, a yellow-green luminescent layer, and a blue luminescent layer, and can emit white light. Since the organic light emitting layer is composed of two blue light emitting layers, the blue light emitting efficiency of the organic light emitting layer can be improved and the life of the blue light emitting layer can be improved. In this case, the blue sub-pixel SP_B or the white sub-pixel SP_W may have a shape protruding toward the red sub-pixel SP_R or the green sub-pixel SP_G. Therefore, the area of the light emitting area EA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B or the area of the light emitting area EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W is the area of the light emitting area EA_R of the red sub- Emitting area EA_G of the light-emitting layer SP_G. Alternatively, the white sub-pixel SP_W may have a shape protruding toward the blue sub-pixel SP_B, and the blue sub-pixel SP_B may have a shape protruding toward the green sub-pixel SP_G. Therefore, the area of the light emitting area EA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B or the area of the light emitting area EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W is the area of the light emitting area EA_R of the red sub- Emitting area EA_G of the light-emitting layer SP_G. Alternatively, the area of the white sub-pixel SP_W may be made larger than the area of the blue sub-pixel SP_B to improve the efficiency and brightness of the white sub-pixel SP_W. Alternatively, the area of the red sub-pixel SP_R may be larger than the area of the green sub-pixel SP_G to further improve the efficiency and luminance of the red sub-pixel SP_R. Here, the blue light emitting layer may include a blue light emitting layer, a sky blue light emitting layer, and a deep blue light emitting layer. The emission band of the blue light emitting layer may range from 440 nm to 480 nm. The emission band of the yellow-green light-emitting layer may range from 510 nm to 580 nm. The order of the organic light emitting layers may be determined according to the characteristics and structure of the organic light emitting display. For example, when the organic luminescent layer is a blue luminescent layer or a yellow-green luminescent layer, the blue luminescent layer may be configured to be close to the anode, or a yellow- The light-emitting layer may be formed close to the anode. When the organic light emitting layer is composed of three light emitting layers, a blue light emitting layer, a yellow-green light emitting layer, and a blue light emitting layer, a blue light emitting layer, a yellow- A light emitting layer, and a blue (blue) light emitting layer. Alternatively, a blue light-emitting layer, a blue light-emitting layer, and a yellow-green light-emitting layer may be formed in this order on the anode. Alternatively, a yellow-green light-emitting layer, a blue light-emitting layer, and a blue light-emitting layer may be formed in this order on the anode.

Further, a red (red) light emitting layer can be further formed to improve the light emitting efficiency of the red sub-pixel. A blue light emitting layer as a light emitting layer, and a red light emitting layer as a blue light emitting layer in the case of a yellow-green light emitting layer. When the blue light-emitting layer is configured to be closer to the anode than the yellow-green light-emitting layer, a red light-emitting layer can be formed on the blue light-emitting layer. Such a configuration can be more advantageous for improving the color recall ratio and color purity of the organic light emitting display device. When the yellow-green light-emitting layer is formed closer to the anode than the yellow-green light-emitting layer, a red light-emitting layer can be formed below the blue light-emitting layer. Such a configuration can be more advantageous for improving the color recall ratio and color purity of the organic light emitting display device. Further, a red light-emitting layer can be further formed in the yellow-green light-emitting layer. When the red light emitting layer is further added, it is appropriate to add the red light emitting layer at any position depending on whether it is more advantageous to improve the color reproducibility or color purity of the organic light emitting display device.

A red light-emitting layer can be further formed in the blue light-emitting layer even when the light-emitting layer is composed of a blue light-emitting layer, a yellow-green light-emitting layer, and a blue light-emitting layer. When a red light emitting layer is further formed on the blue light emitting layer close to the anode, a red light emitting layer can be formed on the blue light emitting layer. In such a case, It may be more advantageous in improving the color recall ratio and color purity. When a red light emitting layer is further provided in the blue light emitting layer near the cathode, a red light emitting layer can be formed below the blue light emitting layer. In this case, It may be more advantageous in improving the recall rate and color purity. When a red light-emitting layer is further provided in the yellow-green light-emitting layer, a red light-emitting layer can be formed below the yellow-green light-emitting layer. In such a case, And color purity can be more advantageously improved. When a blue light-emitting layer, a blue light-emitting layer and a yellow-green light-emitting layer are sequentially formed on the anode, a red light-emitting layer (not shown) is formed below the yellow- . ≪ / RTI > When a yellow-green light-emitting layer, a blue light-emitting layer, and a blue light-emitting layer are sequentially formed on the anode, a red light-emitting layer is formed below the yellow-green light- . Alternatively, a red light emitting layer can be formed on a blue light emitting layer closer to the anode. Alternatively, a red light-emitting layer can be formed on a blue light-emitting layer closer to the cathode. That is, when a red light-emitting layer is further added, a red light-emitting layer may be disposed at a suitable position for improving the color reproducibility and color purity of the organic light-emitting display device, and the arrangement position of the red light- Can be determined.

Accordingly, regardless of the light emitting layers constituting the organic light emitting layer, the present invention can provide an organic light emitting display having an improved lifetime by increasing the area of a light emitting region of a sub-pixel having a shorter lifetime or lower efficiency than relatively different sub-pixels can do.

Further, the light emitting layer constituting the organic light emitting layer may be configured differently depending on the characteristics of the organic light emitting display device. Therefore, it is desirable that the lifetime of the OLED display device is shorter than other sub-pixels in consideration of the aperture ratio, lifetime, brightness, reliability, color reproduction rate, color purity, It is possible to provide an organic light emitting display in which the lifetime and other characteristics are improved by increasing the area of the light emitting region of the poor sub-pixel. The bank layer can define the emission regions EA_R, EA_W, EA_B, and EA_G of the respective sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G. That is, the regions covered by the bank layers in the sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G are driven by the driving regions DA_R, DA_W, DA_B, and DA_G, and the regions not covered by the bank layers are emit regions EA_R, EA_W, and EA_B , EA_G). 3 is a plan view, the bank layers are not shown in FIG. 3, and the light emitting regions EA_R, EA_W, EA_B, and EA_G and the driving regions DA_R, DA_W, DA_B, DA_G are schematically shown by dotted lines .

3, the interval S1 of the second wiring 370 defining the driving area DA_R of the red subpixel SP_R and the interval S1 of the second wiring 370 defining the driving area DA_W of the white subpixel SP_W, The interval S3 of the second wiring 370 defining the driving area DA_B of the blue sub pixel SP_B and the driving area DA_G of the green sub pixel SP_G The intervals S4 of the second wirings 370 to be defined are equal to each other. That is, the portions of the second wiring 370 defining the driving areas DA_R, DA_W, DA_B, and DA_G of the respective sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G are arranged at regular intervals. Accordingly, since the sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G are defined by the second wiring 370, the driving area DA_R of the red sub-pixel SP_R, Width of the driving area DA_W of the red sub-pixel SP_B, driving area DA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B and driving area DA_G of the green sub-pixel SP_G are equal to each other.

The maximum spacing S6 of the second wiring 370 defining the light emitting region EA_W of the white subpixel SP_W corresponds to the light emitting region EA_R of the red subpixel SP_R adjacent to the white subpixel SP_W Is greater than the minimum spacing S5 of the second wires 370 defining them. That is, the second wiring 370 defining the light emitting area EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W so that the light emitting area EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W has an area protruded toward the red sub-pixel SP_R The second wiring 370, which also defines the light emitting region EA_R of the red sub-pixel SP_R, includes the inclined portion with respect to the first direction and the second direction.

The maximum interval S7 of the second wiring 370 defining the light emitting region EA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B is set to the light emitting region EA_G of the green sub-pixel SP_G adjacent to the blue sub- (S8) of the second wiring (370) defining the second wiring (370). That is, the second wiring 370 defining the light emitting region EA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B, so that the light emitting region EA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B has an area protruded toward the green sub-pixel SP_G, The second wiring 370 defining the light emitting region EA_G of the green sub-pixel SP_G also includes a portion inclined with respect to the first direction and the second direction.

As described above, the second wires 370 defining the driving regions DA_R, DA_W, DA_B, and DA_G of the respective sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G are arranged at equal intervals, The emission region EA_W of the red sub-pixel SP_W and the emission region EA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B include regions protruding toward the neighboring red sub-pixel SP_R and green sub-pixel SP_G. Therefore, the interval S3 of the second wiring 370 defining the driving area DA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B is the second wiring 370 defining the light emitting area EA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B. And the interval S2 between the second wirings 370 defining the driving area DA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W is smaller than the maximum spacing S7 of the white sub-pixel SP_W and the emission area EA_W of the white sub- (S6) of the second wiring (370). In the same principle, the interval S1 of the second wiring 370 defining the driving area DA_R of the red sub-pixel SP_R is different from the interval S1 of the second wiring 370 defining the light emitting area EA_R of the red sub- 370 and the interval S4 of the second wiring 370 defining the driving area DA_G of the green subpixel SP_G is larger than the minimum spacing S5 of the green subpixel SP_G in the light emitting area EA_G of the green subpixel SP_G. Is greater than the minimum spacing (S8) of the second wires (370).

3, the area of the light emitting area EA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B and the area of the light emitting area EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W are the same as the area of the light emitting area EA_G of the green sub- And the area of the light emitting area EA_R of the red sub-pixel SP_R. This is because the emission region EA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B and the emission region EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W have regions projected toward the red sub-pixel SP_R and the green sub-pixel SP_G, respectively.

In the OLED display 300 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the area of the optimized pixel or the area of the driving areas DA_R, DA_W, DA_B, and DA_G of the respective sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, (SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, SP_G, SP_G, SP_B, SP_G) by changing only the wiring portion defining the light emitting regions EA_R, EA_W, EA_B, EA_G of the respective sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, (EA_R, EA_W, EA_B, EA_G) can be ensured for each of the light-emitting regions (EA_R, EA_W, EA_B, EA_G). That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the second wiring 370 disposed between the light emitting region EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W and the light emitting region EA_R of the red sub-pixel SP_R has a sloped portion The area of the light emitting area EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W is ensured and the area of the second sub-pixel SP_B disposed between the light emitting area EA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B and the light emitting area EA_G of the green sub- The area of the light emitting region EA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B can be ensured such that the wiring 370 has an inclined portion. Therefore, the area of the light emitting area EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W can be increased without changing the driving areas DA_R, DA_W, DA_B, and DA_G of the respective sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G , So that the overall luminance of the organic light emitting display 300 can be improved. The area of the light emitting area EA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B can be increased without changing the driving areas DA_R, DA_W, DA_B, and DA_G of the respective sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G , So that the lifetime of the blue sub-pixel SP_B having a relatively short lifetime as compared with other sub-pixels can be improved. Alternatively, the lifetime of the sub-pixel having a short lifetime can be improved by increasing the area of the sub-pixel having a relatively short lifetime as compared with other sub-pixels depending on the structure and characteristics of the device.

In some embodiments, the area of the light emitting area EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W is equal to the area of the light emitting area EA_R of the red sub-pixel SP_R, the area of the light emitting area EA_B of the blue sub- Emitting area EA_G of the green sub-pixel SP_G. That is, the size of the light emitting area EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W is set larger than the light emitting areas EA_R, EA_G and EA_B of the other sub-pixels SP_R, SP_G and SP_B, The luminance can be further improved.

EA_R, SP_G, and SP_B of the respective sub-pixels SP_W, SP_R, SP_G, and SP_B based on the element efficiency of the organic light emitting elements disposed in the respective sub-pixels SP_W, SP_R, SP_G, , EA_G, EA_B) can be determined. That is, the area of the light emitting region of the sub-pixel having a relatively low element efficiency of the organic light emitting element can be relatively larger than the area of the light emitting region of the sub-pixel having the high element efficiency of the organic light emitting element. For example, the device efficiency of the organic light emitting device is determined by the stacked structure of the organic light emitting layer, the material of the organic light emitting layer, and the like. When the device efficiency of the organic light emitting device is low, the lifetime of the organic light emitting device is shortened Problems can arise. Accordingly, the lifetime of the organic light emitting display can be improved by increasing the area of the light emitting region of the sub-pixel having a relatively low element efficiency of the organic light emitting element to be larger than the area of the light emitting region of the sub- have. Although only the driving thin film transistor among various driving devices for driving the organic light emitting device is shown in FIG. 3 for the sake of convenience, a switching thin film transistor, a thin film transistor for compensation, or various capacitors may be included in the driving device, DA_W, DA_B, and DA_G of the sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, and SP_G. Accordingly, the second wiring 370 may include Vdd wiring, Vref wiring, and the like as well as the data wiring. The second wiring 370 for defining each of the sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B and SP_G is connected to each of the sub-pixels SP_R, SP_W, SP_B, And the second wiring 370 closest to the left and right sides of the second wiring 372 (SP_G).

The green subpixel SP_G may be positioned between the white subpixel SP_W and the blue subpixel SP_B and the red subpixel SP_R may be located between the white subpixel SP_W and the blue subpixel SP_B as shown in FIG. And may be located between the pixels SP_B. The light emitting region EA_ and the blue sub-pixel SP_B of the white sub-pixel SP_W are arranged in such a manner that the white sub-pixel SP_W and the blue sub-pixel SP_B having a relatively wide emission region EA_ are not adjacent to each other, It may be easier to secure the area of the light emitting region EA_ of the light emitting region EA.

Next, referring to FIG. 5, all of the second wirings 570 defining the light emitting region EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W may include inclined portions with respect to the first direction and the second direction. When only the second wiring 570 located on one side of the light emitting region EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W is changed only, one sub-pixel SP_R is formed to secure the area of the light emitting region EA_W of the white sub- , SP_W, SP_B, SP_G), that is, the area of the light emitting area EA_R of the red sub-pixel SP_R must be reduced. However, there is a limit to reducing the area of the light emitting area EA_R of the red sub-pixel SP_R. 5, in order to further secure the area of the light emitting area EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W, the second wiring 570 (see FIG. 5) located on both sides of the light emitting area EA_W of the white sub- May be changed to secure the area of the light emitting area EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W.

5, only the shape of the second wiring 570 located on both sides of the light emitting region EA_W of only the white sub-pixel SP_W is shown for convenience of description. However, if necessary, the light emission of the blue sub-pixel SP_B The shape of the second wiring 570 located on both sides of the area EA_B may be changed to the second wiring 370 located on both sides of the light emitting area EA_W of the white sub pixel SP_W shown in Fig. .

6 is a plan view illustrating an organic light emitting display according to another embodiment of the present invention. The organic light emitting display 600 shown in FIG. 6 has a red subpixel SP_R, a green subpixel SP_G, a blue subpixel SP_B, and a white subpixel SP_B, as compared with the organic light emitting display 300 shown in FIG. The size of the sub-pixel SP_W, the shape of the second wiring 670, the shape of the red sub-pixel SP_R, the green sub-pixel SP_G, the blue sub-pixel SP_B and the white sub- , EA_G, EA_B, and EA_W) and the areas of the anodes 631R, 631G, 631B, and 631W are changed, so that overlapping description of substantially identical components will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 6, the emission region EA_R of the red sub-pixel SP_R has a region protruded toward the white sub-pixel SP_W. That is, the second wiring 670 disposed between the red subpixel SP_R and the white subpixel SP_W among the second wiring 670 defining the light emitting region EA_R of the red subpixel SP_R is a white Pixel SP_W and includes an inclined portion with respect to the first direction and the second direction.

That is, the second wiring 670 disposed between the white sub-pixel SP_W and the blue sub-pixel SP_B of the second wiring 670 defining the light emitting region EA_W of the white sub- And a portion projecting toward the sub-pixel SP_B side and inclined with respect to the first direction and the second direction. The extent to which the second wiring 670 disposed between the white subpixel SP_W and the blue subpixel SP_B protrudes toward the blue subpixel SP_B depends on the red subpixel SP_R and the white subpixel SP_W, The second wiring 670 disposed between the first sub-pixel SW1 and the second sub-pixel SW1 is greater than the protrusion of the second wiring 670 toward the white sub-pixel SW.

The emission region EA_B of the blue sub-pixel SP_B has a region projected toward the green sub-pixel SP_G. That is, the second wiring 670 disposed between the blue sub-pixel SP_B and the green sub-pixel SP_W among the second wiring 670 defining the light emitting region EA_B of the blue sub- And a portion projecting toward the sub-pixel SP_B side and inclined with respect to the first direction and the second direction. The extent to which the second wiring 670 disposed between the blue subpixel SP_B and the green subpixel SP_G protrudes toward the green subpixel SP_G depends on the white subpixel SP_W and the blue subpixel SP_B, And the second wiring 670 disposed between the first sub-pixel PX and the second sub-pixel SP_B protrudes toward the blue sub-pixel SP_B.

Accordingly, the size of the light emitting area EA_W of the white sub-pixel SP_W is made larger than the light emitting areas EA_R, EA_G and EA_B of the other sub-pixels SP_R, SP_G and SP_B, Can be further improved.

Further, for example, when the element efficiency of the organic light emitting element arranged in the green sub-pixel SP_G is relatively high and the element efficiency of the organic light emitting element arranged in the red sub-pixel SP_R is relatively low, The lifetime of the organic light emitting display can be improved by increasing the area of the emission region EA_R of the red subpixel SP_R and reducing the area of the emission region EA_G of the green subpixel SP_G.
