摘要
A display apparatus includes first and second subpixel electrodes on a planarization layer including first and second via holes. The first subpixel includes a first pixel definition layer including a first opening exposing a portion of a first pixel electrode corresponding to a first emission portion. The first pixel electrode is connected to a first pixel circuit through the first via hole. The second subpixel includes a second pixel definition layer including a second opening exposing a portion of a second pixel electrode corresponding to a second emission portion. The second pixel electrode is connected to a second pixel circuit through the second via hole.

This application is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/907,277, filed on Jun. 21, 2020, which issued as U.S. Pat. No. 11,581,378 on Feb. 14, 2023, which claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0136907, filed on Oct. 30, 2019, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes as if fully set forth herein.
One or more embodiments generally relate to display apparatuses, and more particularly, to display apparatuses with improved reliability.
From among display apparatuses, organic light emitting display apparatuses have attracted attention as next-generation display apparatuses because they have various advantages, such as a wide viewing angle, excellent contrast, and fast response time. Generally, in an organic light emitting display apparatus, thin film transistors and organic light emitting diodes are formed on a substrate and the organic light emitting diodes emit light by themselves. Such an organic light emitting display apparatus may be used as a display unit of a relatively small product, such as a mobile phone, etc., or may be used as a display unit of a relatively large product, such as a television, etc. To improve light extraction efficiency and secure increased outdoor visibility, an organic light emitting display apparatus may use a polarizer as a film that may selectively transmit or block a vertically or horizontally polarized wave of incident light, or a color filter and a light blocking layer having a polarization function may be used to also improve the flexibility of an organic light emitting display apparatus.
