An organic light emitting display apparatus includes a substrate, a color filter layer on the substrate, a transflective reflective layer on the color filter layer, the transflective reflective layer being configured to partly transmit and partly reflect visible light, a first electrode on the transflective reflective layer, an intermediate layer on the first electrode, the intermediate layer including an organic emission layer, a second electrode on the intermediate layer, and an optical path control layer (OPCL) between the transflective reflective layer and the first electrode, the OPCL including an insulating material and being configured to control a path of light generated in the intermediate layer.
