Abstract

An organic light emitting device (OLED) and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the OLED includes i) a pixel layer having a first electrode, a second electrode, and a light emitting portion interposed between the first electrode and the second electrode and having at least an emission layer, ii) a transparent member disposed in a direction in which light generated from the pixel layer is transmitted, iii) a diffraction grating disposed between the pixel layer and the transparent member, and iv) a low-refractive layer made of a material having a refractive index less than that of a material forming the transparent member, the low-refractive layer disposed between the diffraction grating and the transparent member. The OLED can prevent image spreading and deterioration in color purity while having enhanced light coupling efficiency.
