An organic light emitting display apparatus and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The organic light emitting display apparatus includes, for example, a pixel electrode and a bus electrode spaced apart and electrically insulated from each other, a pixel defining layer exposing a part of the pixel electrode including a central part thereof and a part of the bus electrode, a first intermediate layer on a top surface of the pixel defining layer between the pixel electrode and the bus electrode, the first intermediate layer having a first opening in a part of the bus electrode to expose a part of the bus electrode, an emission layer disposed on the first intermediate layer, and an opposite electrode disposed on the emission layer to correspond to the pixel electrode and the bus electrode and contacting the bus electrode through the first opening of the first intermediate layer.
