Abstract

An organic light-emitting display apparatus, including a substrate; a first electrode on the substrate; a second electrode on the first electrode; a first organic emissive layer between the first electrode and the second electrode, the first organic emissive layer to emit a first light; a second organic emissive layer between the first electrode and the second electrode, the second organic emissive layer to emit a second light having a different color from the first light; an auxiliary layer on the second electrode, the auxiliary layer having a refractive index equal to or higher than about 2.2; and a charging layer on the auxiliary layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An organic light-emitting display apparatus comprising:
a substrate;
a first electrode on the substrate;
a second electrode on the first electrode;
a first organic emissive layer between the first electrode and the second electrode, the first organic emissive layer to emit a first light;
a second organic emissive layer between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the second organic emissive layer is to emit a second light having a different color from the first light; and
an auxiliary layer directly on the second electrode and having a thickness of about 280 Å to about 400 Å and a refractive index equal to or higher than about 2.2,
wherein a distance between the first electrode and the second electrode is a resonance distance of the first light, and
the distance between the first electrode and the second electrode is different from a resonance distance of the second light.

2. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary layer includes a transmissive or semi-transmissive material.

3. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary layer includes copper iodide (Cue.

4. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second electrode has about 50% or more Ag content.

5. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein a thickness of the second electrode is smaller than or equal to about 100 Å.

6. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a filler layer on the auxiliary layer; and
an encapsulation layer on the filler layer, wherein the encapsulation layer covers the first electrode, the first organic emissive layer, the auxiliary layer, and the filler layer.

7. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising a polarizer on the encapsulation layer, wherein the polarizer performs circular polarization on an incident light.

8. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 ,
wherein the first light and the second light are mixed to generate a white light.

9. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the first light is a blue light and the second light includes a red light and a green light.

10. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 9 , wherein average reflectivity of the red, green and blue lights from a bottom surface of the second electrode, a contact surface between the second electrode and the auxiliary layer, and a top surface of the auxiliary layer is lower than or equal to about 15%.

11. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 10 , wherein reflectivity of the blue light from the bottom surface of the second electrode, the contact surface between the second electrode and the auxiliary layer, and the top surface of the auxiliary layer is higher than reflectivity of each of the red and the green lights.

12. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 ,
wherein the first light is a blue light and the second light is a yellow light.

13. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode is an anode and the second electrode is a cathode, and a portion of the first light passes through the second electrode.

14. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the distance between the first electrode and the second electrode is about 3000 Å to about 5000 Å.

15. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising
a charge generation layer between the first and second organic emissive layers.

16. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising
a third organic emissive layer to emit a third light having a different color from the first light and the second light.

17. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising
and
an encapsulation substrate on the auxiliary layer, wherein the encapsulation substrate covers the first organic emissive layer, the second organic emissive layer, and the auxiliary layer.

18. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the second electrode has about 50% or more Ag content and a thickness of the second electrode is smaller than or equal to about 100 Å.

19. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second organic emissive layer is between the first organic emissive layer and the second electrode.
