Organic Light-Emitting Display Device
First Claim
1. An actively driven OLED having pixels comprising:
- a substrate;
thin film transistors for driving the pixels; and
organic light-emitting elements each provided for each pixel, each transistor having a power line, each organic light-emitting element having a pair of electrodes, one of the electrodes provided on the substrate to function as a cathode, the organic light-emitting element provided on this electrode, the other of the electrodes provided on this organic light-emitting element to function as an anode, and the power line provided between the substrate and the organic light-emitting elements.

Abstract
The present invention provides OLEDs of the top emission type comprising organic light-emitting (LE) elements by preventing the problems such as the widening of the power lines, the reduction in the aperture ratio caused by the widening of the upper and the lower capacitor electrodes and the short circuit between the upper and the lower electrodes caused by the roughness of the flattening layers. Two kinds of the OLEDs are provided. One is an OLED comprising a region of LE layer sandwiched between the upper and lower electrodes is formed on a power line of TFT for driving the pixel. Another comprises a region of the LE layer formed on an electrode of capacitor connected to the TFTs to control the light-emitting element. Accordingly, without forming a flattening layer on the light-emitting layer, there is no electric short circuit between the lower electrode and the upper electrode.
