Solution Overview

Problem

The existing top emission type organic light emitting display devices face issues with aperture ratio and optical uniformity due to inaccuracies in the placement of light-blocking layers during the bonding process of substrates, leading to decreased image quality.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a resin transfer pattern within the light-blocking layers that connects resin layers across adjacent pixels, ensuring uniform resin distribution and preventing light leakage, while maintaining the light-blocking functionality without reducing the aperture ratio.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If the light-blocking layer is disposed on the bank to prevent light mixture, then light blocking function is improved, but the aperture ratio decreases due to process errors causing superposition on light-emitting layers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight mixtureVSAvoidaperture ratio
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the light-blocking layer into multiple segments: a first light-blocking layer disposed on the bank and a second light-blocking layer disposed on the color filter, with a resin layer between them. This segmentation allows each layer to perform light blocking independently without requiring precise alignment, thus preventing light mixture while maintaining aperture ratio.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The resin layer acts as an intermediary between the first and second light-blocking layers. It provides adhesive bonding while allowing each light-blocking layer to be positioned independently on their respective substrates, eliminating the need for precise alignment during substrate bonding and preventing superposition on light-emitting layers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Area of stationary object

If the light-blocking layer is accurately aligned on the bank, then aperture ratio is maintained, but manufacturing complexity increases due to precise alignment requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaperture ratioVSAvoidalignment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the light-blocking function into two separate layers on different substrates, the invention eliminates the need for precise alignment during substrate bonding. Each light-blocking layer can be independently positioned, significantly reducing manufacturing complexity while maintaining aperture ratio.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The light-blocking layers are prepared on their respective substrates before bonding. The first light-blocking layer is formed on the bank of the first substrate, and the second light-blocking layer is formed on the color filter of the second substrate in advance, allowing independent optimization without alignment constraints during assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Strength

If resin layers are used to bond substrates, then adhesion is improved, but resin distribution uniformity decreases leading to optical non-uniformity

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadhesionVSAvoidresin distribution uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The invention applies different properties to different regions: the resin layer provides adhesion between substrates, while the light-blocking layers provide optical isolation. This local differentiation allows the resin to be optimized for bonding without compromising optical uniformity, as the light-blocking layers compensate for any resin distribution variations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Discussed are an organic light emitting display device and a method of manufacturing the same. The organic light emitting display device can include first electrodes that are disposed on a substrate, organic light-emitting layers that are disposed on the first electrodes, banks that overlap edges of the first electrodes and define pixels, light-blocking layers that are disposed on the banks, and resin layers that are disposed between the light-blocking layers and include an adhesive material. A resin transfer pattern that penetrates each of the light-blocking layers from one side to the other side may be formed in the light-blocking layers. The resin layer disposed on one side of each of the light-blocking layers and the resin layer disposed on the other side of the light-blocking layer are connected to each other via the resin transfer pattern.
