Abstract

Disclosed are light emitting display and method of manufacturing the same. The light emitting display according to the present embodiments includes a first substrate including a plurality of light emitting devices and a pad portion, all of which are formed therein; a second substrate disposed to face the light emitting devices; and a bonding layer bonded to the light emitting devices and the second substrate, wherein a stepped portion is formed at a predetermined depth in an edge of the second substrate that is adjacent to the pad portion, and the bonding layer is extended to the stepped portion. Since the bonding layer is not bonded to the pad portion due to the depth of the stepped portion when the second substrate is bonded to the first substrate, poor electrical contact may be prevented, and it easy to remove the encapsulation substrate to expose the pad portion. Also, the manufacturing process is simple, the process uniformity is high and the process time is short since the bonding layer is formed in the front of the second substrate.

Claims (36)

1. A light emitting display, comprising:

a first substrate including a plurality of light emitting devices formed in a pad portion configured to supply signals to the light emitting devices;

a second substrate disposed to face the light emitting devices; and

a bonding layer bonded to the light emitting devices and the second substrate,

wherein a stepped portion is formed in an edge of the second substrate that is adjacent to the pad portion, and wherein the bonding layer is extended to the stepped portion;

wherein the bonding layer is composed of solid film both sides of which have adhesive property; and

wherein the solid film is calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) 2 .

2. The light emitting display according to claim 1 , wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are bonded by the bonding layer.

3. The light emitting display according to claim 1 , wherein the bonding layer is coated with a liquid material and softened.

4. The light emitting display according to claim 1 , wherein the stepped portion has a higher depth than the thickness of the bonding layer.

5. The light emitting display according to claim 1 , wherein an end point of the second substrate in the stepped portion accords with an end point of the bonding layer.

6. A method of manufacturing a light emitting display, the method comprising:

preparing a first substrate including a plurality of light emitting devices formed in a pad portion configured to supply signals to the light emitting devices;

providing a second substrate having a stepped portion formed in a region corresponding to the pad portion;

forming a bonding layer on the second substrate including the stepped portion;

disposing the first substrate and the second substrate to face each other;

removing the second substrate and the bonding layer for the region corresponding to the pad portion; and

heat-treating the first substrate and the second substrate so that the first substrate and the second substrate are bonded by the bonding layer;

wherein the bonding layer is composed of solid film both sides of which have adhesive property; and

wherein the solid film is calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) 2 .

7. The method of manufacturing a light emitting display according to claim 6 , wherein the bonding layer is coated with a liquid material and softened.

8. The method of manufacturing a light emitting display according to claim 6 , wherein the stepped portion is formed with a higher depth than the thickness of the bonding layer.

9. The method of manufacturing a light emitting display according to claim 6 , wherein the heat treatment is carried out so that the bonding layer flows to bond the second substrate to the first substrate.

10. A method of manufacturing a light emitting display, the method comprising:

preparing a first substrate having a plurality of panel regions defined by scribe lines and including a plurality of light emitting devices formed in pad portions configured to supply signals to the light emitting devices;

providing a second substrate having stepped portions formed in regions corresponding to the pad portions;

forming a bonding layer on the second substrate including the stepped portions;

disposing the first substrate and the second substrate to face each other;

cutting the first substrate along the scribe lines and separating the panel regions by removing the second substrate and the bonding layer for the regions corresponding to the pad portions; and

heat-treating the first substrate and the second substrate so that the first substrate and the second substrate are bonded by the bonding layer;

wherein the bonding layer is composed of solid film both sides of which have adhesive property; and

wherein the solid film is calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) 2 ).

11. The method of manufacturing a light emitting display according to claim 10 , wherein the bonding layer is coated with a liquid material and softened.

12. The method of manufacturing a light emitting display according to claim 10 , wherein the stepped portions are formed with a higher depth than a thickness of the bonding layer.

13. The method of manufacturing a light emitting display according to claim 10 , wherein the heat treatment is carried out so that the bonding layer flows to bond the second substrate to the first substrate.

14. The method of manufacturing a light emitting display according to claim 10 , wherein the stepped portions are formed with a trench shape.
