Abstract

An organic light emitting diode display includes a panel assembly for displaying an image and a first surface stress enhancing member arranged on a rear surface of the panel assembly. In one embodiment, the organic light emitting diode display includes a second surface stress enhancing member arranged on a front surface of the panel assembly. In anther embodiment, the organic light emitting diode display includes a lower bezel arranged on a rear surface of the first surface stress enhancing member and a shock absorption tape arranged between the first surface stress enhancing member and the lower bezel. The structure of the organic light emitting diode display efficiently prevents damages caused by an external impact.

Claims (15)

1. An organic light emitting diode display comprising:

a panel assembly comprising a display region for displaying an image and a pad region, the display region including a plurality of organic light emitting diodes for emitting, light;

a first surface stress enhancing member arranged on a rear surface of the panel assembly, the first surface stress enhancing member being directly attached to the rear surface of the panel assembly, the first surface stress enhancing member having a tensile strength of 200 N/25 mm to 300 N/25 mm, the first surface stress enhancing member comprising a hard coating, layer and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer arranged on a surface of the hard coating layer, the pressure sensitive adhesive layer disposed between the surface of the hard coating layer and the rear surface of the panel assembly

a lower bezel arranged on a rear surface of the first surface stress enhancing member; and

a double-sided adhesive tape arranged between the first surface stress enhancing member and the lower bezel, the double-sided adhesive tape directly attached to the first surface stress enhancing member and to the lower bezel.

2. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , further comprising a second surface stress enhancing member arranged on a front surface of the panel assembly.

3. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 2 , further comprising a polarizing plate arranged on a front surface of the second surface stress enhancing member.

4. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 2 , wherein the second surface stress enhancing member comprises a hard coating layer and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer arranged on a surface of the hard coating layer.

5. The organic light emitting, diode display of claim 4 , wherein the second surface stress enhancing member has a tensile strength of 200 N/25 mm to 300 N/25 mm.

6. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 4 , wherein the second surface stress enhancing member has an adhesion of 10 N/25 mm to 20 N/25 mm.

7. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the lower bezel comprises a bottom portion covering, the rear surface of the first surface stress enhancing member and a sidewall located at edge portions of the bottom portion except an edge portion corresponding to the pad region.

8. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 7 , further comprising an upper bezel arranged in a from surface of the panel assembly.

9. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 8 , wherein the upper bezel covers the pad region, and is provided with an opening exposing the display region.

10. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 8 , wherein each of the lower and upper bezels is formed of metal or synthetic resin.

11. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the first surface stress enhancing member has an adhesion of 10 N/25 mm to 20 N/25 mm.
