Abstract

Disclosed is an organic light emitting display device that comprises a first light emitting unit between a first electrode and a second electrode, the first light emitting unit including a first hole transporting layer and a first light emitting layer; and a second light emitting unit between the first light emitting unit and the second electrode, the second light emitting unit including a second hole transporting layer and a second light emitting layer that emits a light of the same color as a light emitted by the first light emitting layer. An increase in driving voltage caused by a shift of an emission zone in the first light emitting layer or the second light emitting layer by prolonged driving is minimized which solves a problem of increased power consumption and improves the lifetime of the organic light emitting display device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An organic light emitting display device comprising:
a first light emitting unit between a first electrode and a second electrode, the first light emitting unit including a first hole transporting layer and a first light emitting layer; and
a second light emitting unit between the first light emitting unit and the second electrode, the second light emitting unit including a second hole transporting layer and a second light emitting layer that emits a light of the same color as a light emitted by the first light emitting layer,
wherein a thickness of the second hole transporting layer is greater than a thickness of the first hole transporting layer.

2. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first hole transporting layer and the second hole transporting layer have a thickness ratio that results in the emission zone in the first light emitting layer or in the second light emitting layer to be biased toward an upper part or biased toward a lower part with respect to a central part in the first light emitting layer or in the second light emitting layer.

3. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness ratio of the first hole transporting layer to the second hole transporting layer is within a range from 1:1.1 to 1:1.5.

4. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 3 , wherein a sum of the thickness of the first hole transporting layer and the thickness of the second hole transporting layer is within a range from 750 Å to 1,150 Å.

5. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 4 , wherein the first hole transporting layer and the second hole transporting layer are formed of the same material.

6. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 5 , wherein a distance between the first electrode and the second electrode is within a range from 1,700 Å to 3,000 Å, which results in constructive interference being generated between light emitted from the first light emitting layer and light emitted from the second light emitting layer due to micro-cavity effects.

7. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 6 , wherein a distance between the first light emitting layer and the second light emitting layer is within a range from 500 Å to 750 Å.

8. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 7 , wherein the first light emitting layer and the second light emitting layer have a patterned structure divided for each pixel, respectively, and
the first hole transporting layer and the second hole transporting layer have a common structure disposed throughout a plurality of pixels, respectively.

9. An organic light emitting display device of a top-emission type that includes a plurality of pixels adjacent to each other, the organic light emitting display device comprising:
a plurality of first electrodes respectively corresponding to the plurality of pixels and spaced apart from each other;
a first common hole transporting layer on the plurality of first electrodes;
a plurality of first patterned light emitting layers on the first common hole transporting layer corresponding to the plurality of pixels, respectively;
a second common hole transporting layer, on the plurality of first patterned light emitting layers, having a greater thickness than the first common hole transporting layer;
a plurality of second patterned light emitting layers on the second common hole transporting layer corresponding to the plurality of pixels, respectively; and
a second electrode on the plurality of second patterned light emitting layers.

10. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 9 , wherein a thickness ratio of the first common hole transporting layer to the second common hole transporting layer is within a range from 1:1.1 to 1:1.5.

11. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 10 , wherein the first common hole transporting layer and the second common hole transporting layer are formed of the same material.

12. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 11 , wherein the sum of the thickness of the first common hole transporting layer and the thickness of the second common hole transporting layer is within a range from 750 Å to 1,150 Å.

13. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 12 , wherein in each of the plurality of pixels, a distance between the first electrode and the second electrode is within a range from 1,700 Å to 3,000 Å, which results in constructive interference being generated between a light emitted from the first patterned light emitting layer and a light emitted from the second patterned light emitting layer due to micro-cavity effects.

14. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 13 , wherein a distance between the first patterned light emitting layer and the second patterned light emitting layer is within a range from 500 Å to 750 Å.
