Abstract

The present invention relates to an encapsulation cap for a display device having a structure which has a reinforced strength and is not modified although a thickness is decreased, and an encapsulation cap according to one embodiment of the present invention may comprises a first plane part; and a second plane part having at least one bead thereon, and disposed in a plane different from a plane of the first plane part, wherein the second plane part is connected with the first plane part.

Claims (27)

1. A cap comprising:

a first plane part configured to be attached on a substrate; and

a second plane part having a getter region configured to receive a moisture absorbing material and a plurality of beads configured to reinforce a strength of the second plane, and disposed in a plane different from a plane of the first plane part,

wherein the plurality of beads are formed in different sizes and disposed, apart from one another, along an outer region of the second plane part except the getter region, and

wherein the second plane part is connected with the first plane part.

2. The cap according to claim 1 , wherein at least one bead is at least one recess disposed in an outer region of the second plane part.

3. The cap according to claim 1 ,

wherein the getter region has a recess thereon, and

wherein the plurality of the beads comprise:

a first bead disposed along the outer portion of the recess to have a loop shape; and

a second bead disposed on an outer region of the second plane part.

4. The cap according to claim 3 , wherein the first bead and the second bead are closed-loop type recess which are spaced apart from each other.

5. The cap according to claim 3 , wherein a plurality of the second beads are spaced apart from the first bead with a predetermined distance.

6. The cap according to claim 3 , further comprising a third plane part disposed between the first plane part and the second plane part, and connected with the first plane part and the second plane part.

7. The cap according to claim 6 , wherein a plurality of the third plane parts are disposed between corners of the first plane part and corners of the second plane part.

8. The cap according to claim 7 wherein a plurality of the second beads are spaced apart from the first bead with a predetermined distance.

9. The cap according to claim 7 , wherein the third plane part has at least one bead thereon.

10. The cap according to claim 7 , wherein the third plane parts are disposed on a same plane.

11. A display device comprising:

a substrate;

an active area disposed on the substrate; and

a cap comprising a first plane part attached to the substrate, and a second plane part having a getter region configured to receive a moisture absorbing material and a plurality of beads configured to reinforce a strength of the second plane and disposed to correspond to the active area in a plane different from a plane of the first plane part,

wherein the plurality of beads are formed in different sizes and disposed, apart from one another, along an outer region of the second plane part except the getter region.

12. The display device according to claim 11 , wherein the active area comprises:

an anode electrode disposed on the substrate;

an organic light-emitting layer disposed on the anode electrode; and

a cathode electrode disposed on the organic light-emitting layer.
