Abstract

Disclosed is an organic light emitting display (OLED) apparatus which facilitates to lower a driving voltage and to improve a lifespan by optimizing a balance of electrons and holes among a plurality of stacks, wherein the OLED apparatus may include the plurality of stacks disposed between an anode and a cathode, and a plurality of charge generation layers for supplying charges to the plurality of stacks, wherein a thickness of the charge generation layer disposed relatively close to the anode is relatively larger than a thickness of the charge generation layer disposed relatively close to the cathode.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An organic light emitting display (OLED) apparatus comprising:
a reflective anode and a transparent cathode facing each other;
a first stack including a first light-emitting layer between the reflective anode and the transparent cathode;
a second stack including a second light-emitting layer between the first stack and the transparent cathode;
a third stack including a third light-emitting layer between the second stack and the transparent cathode;
a first charge generation layer between the first stack and the second stack; and
a second charge generation layer between the second stack and the third stack,
wherein a thickness of the first charge generation layer is larger than a thickness of the second charge generation layer.

2. The OLED apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the first charge generation layer is 1.4 times to 1.6 times larger than the thickness of the second charge generation layer.

3. The OLED apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first charge generation layer includes a first N-type charge generation layer and a first P-type charge generation layer, and a thickness of the first N-type charge generation layer is larger than a thickness of the first P-type charge generation layer.

4. The OLED apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the thickness of the first N-type charge generation layer is 1.5 times to 1.7 times larger than the thickness of the first P-type charge generation layer.

5. The OLED apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the first N-type charge generation layer is in contact with the first stack, and the first P-type charge generation layer is in contact with the second stack.

6. The OLED apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the second charge generation layer includes a second N-type charge generation layer and a second P-type charge generation layer, and a thickness of the second N-type charge generation layer is larger than a thickness of the second P-type charge generation layer.

7. An OLED apparatus comprising:
a plurality of stacks disposed between an anode and a cathode; and
a plurality of charge generation layers for supplying charges to the plurality of stacks,
wherein a thickness of a charge generation layer disposed relatively close to the anode is larger than a thickness of a charge generation layer disposed relatively close to the cathode.

8. The OLED apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the thickness of the charge generation layer disposed relatively close to the anode is 1.4 times to 1.6 times larger than the thickness of the charge generation layer disposed relatively close to the cathode.

9. The OLED apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the charge generation layer disposed relatively close to the anode includes an N-type charge generation layer and a P-type charge generation layer, and a thickness of the N-type charge generation layer is larger than a thickness of the P-type charge generation layer.

10. The OLED apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the N-type charge generation layer is disposed relatively close to the anode, and the P-type charge generation layer is disposed relatively close to the cathode.

11. The OLED apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein light emitted from the plurality of stacks is mixed together, and the mixed light passes through the cathode so as to emit a white light.

12. An OLED apparatus comprising:
a plurality of stacks disposed between a reflective anode and a transparent cathode; and
a plurality of charge generation layers for supplying charges to the plurality of stacks,
wherein a charge generation layer being in contact with a stack having a least electron supply has a largest thickness among the plurality of charge generation layers.

13. The OLED apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein a charge generation layer disposed closest to the reflective anode has a largest thickness value among the plurality of charge generation layers.

14. The OLED apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the charge generation layer disposed closest to the reflective anode includes an N-type charge generation layer and a P-type charge generation layer, wherein a thickness of the P-type charge generation layer is smaller than a thickness of the N-type charge generation layer.

15. The OLED apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the N-type charge generation layer is disposed relatively close to the reflective anode, and the P-type charge generation layer is disposed relatively close to the transparent cathode.
