Abstract

An organic electroluminescent display includes a substrate; an organic electroluminescent unit including a first electrode unit formed on the substrate in a first predetermined pattern, an organic layer formed in a second predetermined pattern, and a second electrode unit on a top surface of the organic layer in a third predetermined pattern to be insulated from the first electrode unit; a sealing unit, which is joined with the substrate to hermetically seal the organic electroluminescent unit; and an anti-projection unit, which is installed on at least one of the substrate, the organic electroluminescent unit, and the sealing unit, preventing an image of an interior structure of the organic electroluminescent display from being projected on the substrate.

Claims (47)

1. An organic electroluminescent display comprising:

a substrate;

an organic electroluminescent unit comprising:

a first electrode unit formed on the substrate in a first predetermined pattern,

an organic layer formed in a second predetermined pattern, and

a second electrode unit formed on a surface of the organic layer in a third predetermined pattern so that the organic layer is between the first electrode unit and the second electrode unit and the second electrode unit is insulated from the first electrode unit;

a sealing unit, which is joined with the substrate to hermetically seal the organic electroluminescent unit;

an anti-projection unit, which is installed on at least one of the substrate, the organic electroluminescent unit, and the sealing unit, preventing an image of an interior structure of the organic electroluminescent display from being projected on the substrate;

a cap having a cavity;

a moisture-proof material provided in the cavity; and

a porous tape attached to the cap to hold the moisture-proof material within the cavity;

wherein either

(1) the anti-projection unit comprises a black coating layer formed on the inside of the cap, or

(2) the porous tape is black and the anti-projection unit comprises the black porous tape.

2. The organic electroluminescent display of claim 1 , wherein the anti-projection unit comprises a black coating layer formed on the inside of the cap.

3. The organic electroluminescent display of claim 2 , wherein the cap is made of an opaque material.

4. The organic electroluminescent display of claim 1 , wherein the porous tape is black; and

wherein the anti-projection unit comprises the black porous tape.

5. An organic electroluminescent display comprising:

a substrate having a front surface and a rear surface;

an organic electroluminescent unit comprising:

a first electrode unit formed on the rear surface of the substrate in a first predetermined pattern,

an organic layer formed ina second predetermined pattern, and

a second electrode unit formed on a surface of the organic layer in a third predetermined pattern so that the organic layer is between the first electrode unit and the second electrode unit and the second electrode unit is insulated from the first electrode unit;

a sealing unit, which is joined with the rear surface of the substrate to hermetically seal the organic electroluminescent unit;

an anti-projection unit, which is installed on at least one of the substrate, the organic electroluminescent unit, and the sealing unit, preventing an image of an interior structure of the organic electroluminescent display from being projected on the substrate; and

a polarization plate attached to the front surface of the substrate;

wherein the sealing unit comprises a rear substrate having a recessed portion corresponding to the organic electroluminescent unit.

6. The organic electroluminescent display of claim 5 , wherein a black coating layer is formed on the inside of the rear substrate.

7. The organic electroluminescent display of claim 5 , wherein the rear substrate is black.

8. The organic electroluminescent display of claim 5 , wherein the rear substrate is made of a semitransparent material.

9. The organic electroluminescent display of claim 5 , wherein the rear substrate is made of glass or a synthetic resin.

10. The organic electroluminescent display of claim 5 , wherein the rear substrate comprises:

a cavity;

a moisture-proof material provided in the cavity; and

a porous tape attached to the rear substrate to hold the moisture-proof material within the cavity.

11. An organic electroluminescent display comprising:

a substrate having a first surface and a second surface;

an organic electroluminescent unit comprising:

a first electrode unit formed on the first surface of the substrate in a first predetermined pattern,

an organic layer formed in a second predetermined pattern, and

a second electrode unit formed on a surface of the organic layer in a third predetermined pattern so that the organic layer is between the first electrode unit and the second electrode unit and the second electrode unit is insulated from the first elecrode unit;

a sealing unit, which is joined with the substrate to hermetically seal the organic electroluminescent unit;

an anti-projection unit, which is installed on at least one of the substrate, the organic electroluminescent unit, and the sealing unit, preventing an image of an interior structure of the organic electroluminescent display from being projected on the substrate;

an internal insulation layer formed between the first electrode unit and the organic layer, having openings through which the first electrode unit is exposed to the organic layer; and

a polarization plate attached to the second surface of the substrate.

12. The organic electroluminescent display of claim 11 , further comprising a separator layer formed on the internal insulation layer.
