Abstract:
The present invention relates to a flat panel display, and more particularly, to a method of fabricating an organic light emitting display device so as to improve device characteristics by patterning a plurality of organic layers using a heat transfer method to optimize thicknesses according to R, G and B pixels. The method includes: forming lower electrodes of R, G and B pixels on an insulating substrate; forming an organic layer on the insulating substrate; and forming an upper electrode on the organic layer. Formation of the organic layer includes forming a hole injection layer and a hole transport layer of the R, G and B pixels on the entire surface of the substrate as a common layer. The R and G emission layers are patterned by a heat transfer method using a heat transfer device having a transfer layer such that an organic layer is patterned to a thickness obtained by subtracting a thickness of the B emission layer from the thicknesses of the R and G emission layers required in R and G colors.

Abstract:
An organic electroluminescence display device made by a laser induced thermal imaging process has a substrate having first and second electrode layers, and an organic layer having red, green, and blue light-emitting layers between the electrode layers. Thermosetting light-emitting materials are used to form the red, green, and blue light-emitting layers, and a laser is then selectively irradiated onto a light-to-heat conversion layer formed on the substrate to deliver heat energy converted from light energy through the light-to-heat conversion layer to the thermosetting light-emitting materials so that curing is progressed to form patterned light-emitting layers. In accordance with the fabrication method of the present invention, the light-emitting materials may be patterned using a laser, thereby fabricating a large scaled organic electroluminescence display device and simplifying the process by not using a mask when the light-emitting layers are formed.

A method of fabricating an organic light emitting display is provided. The method includes repeatedly scanning a laser beam over a predetermined region of a donor substrate with multi-lines in one step using a galvanometer to form an organic layer pattern. The method of the present invention is capable of reducing process time required to form the organic layer pattern and lowering manufacturing cost by repeating multi-line scanning in one step through the laser beam using the galvanometer, when the organic layer pattern is formed using an LITI method.
