  • Patent number: 8278664
    Abstract: Provided are an organic light emitting display device (OLED) and a method of fabricating the same. When a electrically conductive line and a gate electrode are formed at the same time or when a first electrode is formed, interconnections for electrically connecting elements are formed. Thus, the number of used masks can be reduced, so that the overall fabrication process can be shortened and the production cost can be reduced.
