  • Publication number: 20100207106
    Abstract: A structure is disclosed for repairing a defective pixel of an organic light emitting display device of which a defect pixel is repaired. An organic light emitting diode includes a first electrode, a light emitting layer formed on a light emitting region of the first electrode, and a second electrode formed on the light emitting layer. The first electrode and the second electrode are conductively coupled to each other for preventing the organic light emitting diode from emitting light, for example, by irradiating a laser on a portion of the second electrode to cause a short-circuit between the first electrode and the second electrode.
