Definitions
- the described technology relates generally to an organic light emitting diode display capable of excluding a heat treatment process for minimizing deformation such as the shrinkage of a substrate, or the like.
- an organic light emitting diode is a diode that electrically excites an organic compound, which emits light.
- Organic light emitting diodes are classified into a passive matrix type and an active matrix type, depending on a driving method of a matrix of N ⁇ M pixels.
- the active matrix type organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) generally has lower power consumption than the passive matrix type.
- the AMOLED may be more suitable to implement a large dimension, and generally has higher resolution.
- Organic light emitting diodes may also be classified into a bottom emission type and a top emission type, depending on an emission method.
- a bottom emission type light emitted from an emission layer is typically emitted to the outside through a thin film transistor display panel

- In general, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) is a diode that electrically excites an organic compound, which emits light. Organic light emitting diodes are classified into a passive matrix type and an active matrix type, depending on a driving method of a matrix of N×M pixels. The active matrix type organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) generally has lower power consumption than the passive matrix type. The AMOLED may be more suitable to implement a large dimension, and generally has higher resolution.
- Organic light emitting diodes may also be classified into a bottom emission type and a top emission type, depending on an emission method. In a bottom emission type, light emitted from an emission layer is typically emitted to the outside through a thin film transistor display panel, and in a top emission type, light emitted from the emission layer is typically emitted to the outside through a common electrode.

- In some embodiments, after performing the heat treatment process for crystallizing the amorphous silicon layer, the source/drain electrodes, the data line, the power supply line, the gate line, the auxiliary power supply line, and the connection wires electrically connecting them with one other are formed.
- In conventional methods, a gate pattern such as the gate line, or the like is typically formed before the heat treatment process, and the substrate may therefore shrink, and the gate pattern may thereby be misaligned. In order to minimize such deformation, such as the shrinkage of the substrate, or the like, a pre-compaction process, which is a gate heat treatment process, is typically performed. In some embodiments of this disclosure, since the gate line is formed after the heat treatment process for crystallization, the gate pattern is not misaligned even though a pre-compaction process is not performed.
- In conventional OLEDs, even with a low-resistance metal used as the material for the layers, the wire resistance is increased by the heat treatment process, such that it is typically difficult to implement a low-resistance wire. In embodiments disclosed herein, since various wires of the thin film transistor are formed after the heat treatment process, it is possible to implement low-resistance wires.
