Flat panel display having reduced line resistance
View Patent ↗A flat panel display reduces the line resistance of a driving power supply line and prevents a voltage drop in the driving power supply line so as to obtain uniform resolution and luminance. The flat panel display includes a substrate, a display region formed on the substrate, the display region having a self-luminescent element and VDD lines that supply a driving potential power and/or a source current to the self-luminescent element. Further, a covering member for sealing the display region at least, the covering member being adhered to the substrate to face the substrate and a terminal region formed on one or more edges of the substrate, the terminal region having one or more driving power terminals are provided. In addition, a driving power supply line that connects the driving power terminals to the VDD lines of the display region and a bus conductive unit that is electrically connected to the driving power supply line are provided.
1. A flat panel display, comprising:
a substrate;
a display region formed on the substrate, the display region having a self-luminescent element and power applying lines configured to supply a current to the self-luminescent element;
a covering member for sealing at least the display region, the covering member being adhered to the substrate to face the substrate;
a terminal region formed on one or more edges of the substrate, the terminal region having one or more driving power terminals;
a driving power supply line connecting the driving power terminals to the power applying lines of the display region; and
a bus conductive unit that is electrically connected to the driving power supply line by one or more contact portions,
wherein the contact portions include one or more contact holes, where each of the one or more contact portions is formed in an insulating layer located on top of the driving power supply line, and the driving power supply line is electrically connected to the bus conductive unit via the contact holes.
2. The flat panel display of claim 1 , wherein the driving power supply line is electronically connected to the bus conductive unit by a conductive paste that is applied to the contact holes.
3. A flat panel display, comprising:
a substrate;
a display region formed on the substrate, the display region having a self-luminescent element and power applying lines configured to supply a current to the self-luminescent element;
a covering member for sealing at least the display region, the covering member being adhered to the substrate to face the substrate;
a terminal region formed on one or more edges of the substrate, the terminal region having one or more driving power terminals;
a driving power supply line connecting the driving power terminals to the power applying lines of the display region; and
a bus conductive unit that is electrically connected to the driving power supply line by one or more contact portions,
wherein the bus conductive unit is formed on a surface of the covering member that faces the substrate,
wherein the contact portions include one or more contact holes, where each of the one or more contact portions is formed in an insulating layer located on top of the driving power supply line and exposes a portion of the driving power supply line, and the driving power supply line is electrically connected to the bus conductive unit via the contact holes.
4. The flat panel display of claim 3 , wherein the driving power supply line is electrically coupled to the bus conductive unit by a conductive paste that is applied to the contact holes.
