Abstract
An organic light-emitting display device and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The organic light-emitting display device includes a touch sensor having a plurality of touch electrodes on an encapsulation stack covering a light-emitting element. The touch electrodes are formed at a low temperature and are crystallized through an annealing process, whereby it is possible to prevent damage to an organic light-emitting layer at the time of forming the touch electrodes. Thus the touch electrodes can be formed on the encapsulation stack without an additional bonding process to bond the touch sensor to the organic light-emitting display device.
