Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An organic light-emitting display apparatus including a substrate; a thin-film transistor (TFT) arranged on the substrate; a black matrix located between the substrate and the TFT; a pixel electrode, which is located between the substrate and the TFT and having edge portions covered by the black matrix; an insulation layer, which covers the TFT and opens the top surface of the pixel electrode; an organic emission layer, which is arranged on the pixel electrode; and a counter electrode, which is arranged on the organic emission layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An organic light-emitting display apparatus comprising: a substrate; a thin-film transistor (TFT) arranged on the substrate and comprising an active layer, a gate electrode, a source electrode, and a drain electrode; a black matrix located between the substrate and the TFT; a pixel electrode located between the substrate and the TFT and having edge portions covered by the black matrix; an insulation layer covering the TFT and opening a top surface of the pixel electrode; an organic emission layer arranged on the pixel electrode; a counter electrode arranged on the organic emission layer, wherein an upper surface of the black matrix is higher than the top surface of the pixel electrode, and wherein the pixel electrode is directly connected to the source electrode or the drain electrode of the TFT through the black matrix and the active layer is formed directly on the black matrix. 2. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the pixel electrode is connected to the source electrode or the drain electrode of the TFT via a contact hole formed in the black matrix. 3. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the black matrix contains silicon resin. 4. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the pixel electrode contains a transparent material, and the counter electrode contains a reflective material. 5. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the black matrix contains a material that is resistant to a temperature equal to or higher than 550° C. 6. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the insulating layer covers side surfaces of the black matrix. 7. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the pixel electrode is located closer the substrate than the TFT. 8. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein one element selected from the active layer, the gate electrode, the source electrode, and the drain electrode of TFT is formed directly on the black matrix.
