Abstract

An Organic Light Emitting Display (OLED) includes: a substrate having defined pixel region and non-pixel regions and including an organic light emitting element arranged in the pixel region; a driver IC arranged in the non-pixel region of the substrate and adapted to supply a signal to the organic light emitting element; a sealant arranged on the non-pixel region of the substrate; a metal cap spaced away from the substrate and affixed with the sealant to a position corresponding to the substrate; a ground wire electrically connecting the driver IC to the metal cap; a conductive paste arranged between the metal cap and the ground wire; and a printed circuit board arranged to correspond to one side of the metal cap.

Claims (44)

1. An Organic Light Emitting Display (OLED) comprising:

a substrate having defined pixel region and non-pixel regions and including an organic light emitting element arranged in the pixel region;

a driver IC arranged in the non-pixel region of the substrate and adapted to supply a signal to the organic light emitting element;

a sealant arranged on the non-pixel region of the substrate;

a metal cap spaced away from the substrate and affixed with the sealant to a position corresponding to the substrate;

a ground wire electrically connecting the driver IC to the metal cap;

a conductive paste arranged between the metal cap and the ground wire; and

a printed circuit board arranged to correspond to one side of the metal cap.

2. The OLED as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a desiccant arranged within the metal cap.

3. The OLED as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a conductive adhesive member arranged between the metal cap and the printed circuit board and connected to a ground pattern of the printed circuit board.
