    Abstract: A method of fabricating an OLED is provided. The method includes providing a substrate, in which a pixel electrode is formed. In addition, the method includes laminating a donor substrate attached to a frame on an entire surface of the substrate, and irradiating a laser to a predetermined region of the donor substrate to form an organic layer pattern on the pixel electrode. The present invention provides a method of fabricating the OLED capable of suppressing generation of contaminants such as particles and so on, and preventing the donor substrate from sagging or bending, as well as improving transfer efficiency since the donor substrate and the substrate are readily adhered to each other to maintain vacuum state.

  • Publication number: 20050116241
    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.
