Description

Organic light emitting display device and organic light emitting display manufacturing method

The present invention relates to an organic light emitting display device and a method of manufacturing an organic light emitting display device, and more particularly, to an organic light emitting display device including a pad electrode having improved reliability and a method of manufacturing the organic light emitting display device.

The organic light emitting diode display (OLED) is a self-emission type display device, and unlike a liquid crystal display device (LCD), it does not require a separate light source, so it can be manufactured in a lightweight and thin form. In addition, the organic light emitting diode display is being studied as a next-generation display because it is advantageous in terms of power consumption due to low voltage driving, and has excellent color realization, response speed, viewing angle, and contrast ratio (CR).

The organic light emitting display device includes a top emission type organic light emitting display device, a bottom emission type organic light emitting display device, and a double-sided emission type organic light emitting diode display according to the emission direction of light emitted from the organic light emitting device. It is classified as a display device.

In a top-emission organic light emitting diode display, the anode is preferably formed of a conductive material having excellent reflection characteristics and an appropriate work function. However, since there is currently no single applicable material that satisfies these characteristics at the same time, the anode of the top emission type organic light emitting display device is composed of a multilayer structure of conductive layers, for example, indium tin oxide (ITO). The layer, the silver alloy (Ag alloy) layer, and the ITO layer is configured in a stacked structure. Accordingly, the light emitted from the organic light emitting layer of the organic light emitting device is reflected by the silver alloy layer, thereby realizing a top emission type organic light emitting display device.

Meanwhile, a pad electrode of a typical organic light emitting diode display is an electrode that is bonded to an external module to receive an electrical signal from the external module or output an electrical signal to the external module. The uppermost layer of the pad electrode of a typical top emission type organic light emitting diode display is formed of the same material as the anode. Specifically, the pad electrode has a structure in which an electrode formed of the same material as the anode is formed on an electrode formed of the same material as the source electrode and the drain electrode of the thin film transistor.

Here, a layer formed of the same material as the anode, which is the uppermost layer of the pad electrode, is formed at the same time as the anode is formed. Specifically, the top layer of the anode and the pad electrode is formed by performing a batch etching process in a state in which the ITO material, the silver alloy material, and the ITO material are stacked. Therefore, the uppermost layer of the pad electrode also has a structure in which an ITO layer, a silver alloy layer, and an ITO layer are stacked. Accordingly, a driving failure of the organic light emitting diode display may occur.

Specifically, in order to test the reliability of the organic light emitting diode display, the panel on which the organic light emitting diodes are formed is stored in a high temperature chamber for a certain period of time. In this case, due to the high temperature in the chamber, damage may occur to the silver alloy layer of the pad electrode, and the organic light emitting diode display may not be driven normally because the pad electrode does not come in contact with the external module.

In addition, when the silver alloy layer of the pad electrode is exposed to the outside, the silver alloy layer may react with moisture and air. In this case, a galvanic effect occurs between the silver alloy layer and the ITO layer. The galvanic effect is a phenomenon that occurs when two materials having a difference in electromotive force are simultaneously exposed to a corrosive solution. The material with high force: EMF) corrodes, and the pad electrode has insulation. Accordingly, a driving failure phenomenon in which the organic light emitting display device is not driven normally may occur because the pad electrode does not come into contact with the external module.

In addition, in the module process, the pad electrode may be under a high temperature and high pressure condition. When moisture is applied to the side of the silver alloy layer exposed to the outside under this high temperature and high pressure condition, a migration phenomenon occurs in the silver alloy layer. . Accordingly, a portion of the silver alloy layer may grow, and adjacent pad electrodes may be shorted, resulting in a driving failure phenomenon in which the organic light emitting diode display is not normally driven.

Accordingly, a method of configuring the pad electrode only with the same material as the source electrode and the drain electrode was considered without using a layer formed of the same material as the anode, which is the uppermost layer of the pad electrode. However, there is a problem that metal materials generally used as a source electrode and a drain electrode may be lost by an etchant used in an etching process for forming the anode.

Accordingly, the inventors of the present invention have invented an organic light emitting diode display having a new pad electrode structure for preventing damage that may be caused to the pad electrode in a top emission organic light emitting display device, and a method for manufacturing the same.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an organic light emitting display device and a method of manufacturing an organic light emitting display device capable of preventing damage or corrosion to a pad electrode.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an organic light emitting diode display having improved reliability and a method of manufacturing the organic light emitting display device.

In the case of a top emission type organic light emitting diode display, a transparent electrode or a transflective electrode is used as a cathode to emit light emitted from the organic light emitting layer upward. In order to obtain sufficient light transmittance through the cathode, the cathode needs to be formed very thin. Therefore, so that the cathode is transparent, the cathode is made of ITO having a sufficiently thin thickness, or an alloy of silver (Ag) and magnesium (Mg), or the like. However, decreasing the thickness of the cathode increases the electrical resistance of the cathode electrode. Due to this, the reduction in the thickness of the cathode causes a voltage drop (ie, IR drop) in some portions of the organic light emitting display device, particularly, in the central portion, and causes non-uniform luminance across the screen. In particular, the voltage drop intensifies as the size of the display device increases. Accordingly, in the organic light emitting diode display 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the first auxiliary wiring 140 electrically connected to the cathode 139 is employed in the top emission type organic light emitting diode display 100 . voltage drop can be minimized.
