  • Publication number: 20070046185
    Abstract: In an organic light emitting display and a method for fabricating the same, a layout of respective pixels is changed in order to improve life span so that one pixel region having low luminous efficiency is increased. The organic light emitting display includes at least one pixel comprising sub pixels having a plurality of colors. A first sub pixel emission layer is formed over an entire surface of a pixel region. At least two second sub pixel emission layers are formed at the first sub pixel emission layer so as to have a closed curve. The layout of respective pixels is changed so as to increase an area of one sub pixel region having low luminous efficiency in order to improve the life span and aperture ratio of the organic light emitting display. In addition, during formation of an emission layer, the number of masks is reduced. Accordingly, the possibility of misalignment is reduced, thereby maximizing resolution, improving yield, and reducing manufacturing cost.
