Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An organic light-emitting display apparatus includes: a pixel electrode, an intermediate layer on the pixel electrode and including an emission layer, an opposite electrode on the pixel electrode such that the intermediate layer is therebetween, an inorganic encapsulation layer on the opposite electrode, an organic encapsulation layer on the inorganic encapsulation layer, and a protection layer on the organic encapsulation layer and including a first protection layer including silicon nitride and a second protection layer including silicon oxynitride.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An organic light-emitting display apparatus comprising: a pixel electrode; an intermediate layer on the pixel electrode, the intermediate layer comprising an emission layer; an opposite electrode on the pixel electrode such that the intermediate layer is therebetween; an inorganic encapsulation layer on the opposite electrode; an organic encapsulation layer on the inorganic encapsulation layer; a protection layer on the organic encapsulation layer, the protection layer comprising: a first protection layer on the organic encapsulation layer, comprising silicon nitride, and having a set refractive index; and a second protection layer on the first protection layer, comprising silicon oxynitride, and having a set refractive index; and another protection layer on the second protection layer, comprising silicon nitride, and having a set refractive index, wherein the set refractive index of the second protection layer is 1.62 or more, wherein the protection layer comprises a plurality of pairs of the first protection layer and the second protection layer, wherein, in each of the plurality of pairs of the first protection layer and the second protection layer, the first protection layer is closer to the organic encapsulation layer than the second protection layer is to the organic encapsulation layer, and wherein the another protection layer is the first protection layer of one of the plurality of pairs. 2. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first protection layer of any one pair of the plurality of pairs in the protection layer disposed on another pair of the plurality of pairs in the protection layer is on the second protection layer of the another pair below the one pair. 3. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the protection layer comprises five or more and seven or less pairs of the first protection layer and the second protection layer. 4. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising an additional protection layer on the protection layer, the additional protection layer comprising silicon nitride. 5. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the set refractive index of the first protection layer is greater than the set refractive index of the second protection layer. 6. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the set refractive index of the first protection layer is 1.79 or more and 2.10 or less, and the set refractive index of the second protection layer is 1.70 or less. 7. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein a difference between the set refractive index of the first protection layer and the set refractive index of the second protection layer is 0.09 or more and 0.48 or less. 8. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 5 , wherein a thickness of the first protection layer is 350 Å or more and 500 Å or less, and a thickness of the second protection layer is 600 Å or more and 700 Å or less.
