    Abstract: An organic light-emitting display having an improved aperture ratio, the organic light-emitting display including a rear electrode, an opposite electrode, and a pixel electrode between the rear electrode and the opposite electrode. Here, an insulating layer is interposed between the pixel electrode and the rear electrode, wherein the pixel electrode, the insulating layer, and the rear electrode are configured as a capacitor of the organic light-emitting display. In such a structure, as the capacitor is disposed in a light-emitting area where the pixel electrode exists, it is not necessary to provide an additional space for a capacitor, thus improving an aperture ratio of the display.
