Abstract

Provided are a polarizer and an organic light-emitting display device including the same. The organic light-emitting display device may be protected by enabling the polarizer to effectively absorb external impact.

Claims (31)

1. An organic light-emitting display device, comprising:

a lower substrate on which an organic light-emitting device is disposed;

a sealing substrate for sealing the lower substrate; and

a polarizer disposed on the sealing substrate, and the polarizer comprising a transparent film, a retardation film, a polarizing film, a first adhesive layer disposed between the sealing substrate and the transparent film, a second adhesive layer disposed between the transparent film and the retardation film, and a third adhesive layer disposed between the retardation film and the polarizing film.

2. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein each of at least two of the first adhesive layer, the second adhesive layer, and the third adhesive layer has a thickness greater than 50 μm.

3. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first adhesive layer, the second adhesive layer, and the third adhesive layer is a color adhesive layer that absorbs light having a specific wavelength.

4. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the transparent film is formed of a polymer material having a high transmittance.

5. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the transparent film comprises an optical correction material that selectively absorbs light having a specific wavelength.

6. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the transparent film comprises a color correction material.

7. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the transparent film is an impact-resistant film that absorbs external impact.

8. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the retardation film is formed by coating a liquid crystal to delay a phase of light in a specific wavelength band by λ/4 and orient liquid crystal molecules.

9. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the polarizing film is an iodine-based polarizing film, a dye-based polarizing film, a polyene-based polarizing film, or an iodine and dye-containing polarizing film.

10. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first substrate layer disposed between the polarizing film and the third adhesive layer; and

a second substrate layer disposed on the polarizing film.

11. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 10 , wherein each of the first substrate layer and the second substrate layer comprises tri-acetyl-cellulose (TAC).

12. The organic light-emitting display device of claim 10 , wherein hard coating or anti-reflection coating is performed on a surface of the second substrate layer.

13. A polarizer, comprising:

a transparent film having a high transmittance of light;

a retardation film disposed on the transparent film;

a polarizing film disposed on the retardation film; and

an adhesive film comprising a first adhesive layer disposed between a sealing substrate for sealing an organic light-emitting device and the transparent film, a second adhesive layer disposed between the transparent film and the retardation film, and a third adhesive layer disposed between the retardation film and the polarizing film.

14. The polarizer of claim 13 , wherein each of at least two of the first adhesive layer, the second adhesive layer, and the third adhesive layer has a thickness greater than 50 μm.

15. The polarizer of claim 13 , wherein at least one of the first adhesive layer, the second adhesive layer, and the third adhesive layer is a color adhesive layer that absorbs light having a specific wavelength.

16. The polarizer of claim 13 , wherein the transparent film is formed of a polymer material having a high transmittance.

17. The polarizer of claim 13 , wherein the transparent film comprises an optical correction material that selectively absorbs light having a specific wavelength.

18. The polarizer of claim 13 , wherein the transparent film comprises a color correction material.

19. The polarizer of claim 13 , wherein the transparent film is an impact-resistant film that absorbs external impact.

20. The polarizer of claim 13 , further comprising:

a first substrate layer disposed between the polarizing film and the third adhesive layer; and

a second substrate layer disposed on the polarizing film.
