Abstract

Provided is a high-quality sign board including an organic light emitting device (OLED) which can be easily adapted to various designs applied by users to the sign board. The sign board includes a substrate, a plurality of first conductive lines disposed on the substrate, a plurality of pixel electrodes electrically connected with the first conductive lines, an intermediate layer comprising a light emitting layer disposed on the pixel electrodes, and a face electrode disposed on the intermediate layer. In another embodiment, the sign board further includes a plurality of second conductive lines, each of which connects at least two of the first conductive lines to each other. In still another embodiment, the plurality of pixel electrodes includes a plurality of first pixel electrodes electrically connected with the first conductive lines, and a plurality of second pixel electrodes that are not electrically connected with the first conductive lines.

Claims (20)

1. A sign board including an organic light emitting device (OLED), the sign board comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of first conductive lines disposed on the substrate, the plurality of the first conductive lines being electrically connected to each other;

a plurality of pixel electrodes electrically conductively connected with the first conductive lines;

an intermediate layer disposed on the pixel electrodes, the intermediate layer comprising a light emitting layer for emitting light, the intermediate layer covering a space between the pixel electrodes; and

a face electrode disposed on the intermediate layer.

2. The sign board of claim 1 , further comprising an insulator to cover a part of the first conductive lines other than a part to which the pixel electrodes are electrically connected.

3. The sign board of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of second conductive lines, each of which connects at least two of the first conductive lines to each other, one of the pixel electrodes being disposed between two of the first conductive lines and between two of the second conductive lines.

4. The sign board of claim 3 , further comprising an insulator to cover a part of the first conductive lines other than a part to which the pixel electrodes are electrically connected, and the second conductive lines.

5. A sign board including an organic light emitting device (OLED), the sign board comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of first conductive lines disposed on the substrate, the plurality of the first conductive lines being electrically connected to each other;

a plurality of pixel electrodes comprising:

a plurality of first pixel electrodes electrically connected with the first conductive lines; and

a plurality of second pixel electrodes that are not electrically connected with the first conductive tines, the plurality of the second pixel electrodes being isolated so that no electrical signals are applied to the plurality of the second pixel electrodes;

an intermediate layer disposed on the pixel electrodes, the intermediate layer comprising a light emitting layer for emitting light; and

a face electrode disposed on the intermediate layer.

6. The sign board of claim 5 , further comprising an insulator to cover a part of the first conductive lines other than a part to which the pixel electrodes are electrically connected.

7. The sign board of claim 5 , further comprising a plurality of second conductive lines, each of which connects at least two of the first conductive lines to each other, one of the pixel electrodes being disposed between two of the first conductive lines and between two of the second conductive lines.

8. The sign board of claim 7 , further comprising an insulator to cover a part of the first conductive lines other than a part, to which the pixel electrodes are electrically connected, and the second conductive lines.
