Abstract

An organic light emitting diode display includes a substrate including a display area and a non-display area, a display unit that is formed in the display area and includes a plurality of subpixels arranged in a matrix form, a main ground line that is positioned at a first side of the non-display area and is formed using the same material as source and drain electrodes included in each subpixel, and an auxiliary ground line that is formed to surround the non-display area, overlaps at least a portion of the main ground line at the first side of the non-display area, is electrically connected to the main ground line, and is formed using the same material as a lower electrode included in each subpixel.

Claims (14)

1. An organic light emitting diode display comprising:

a substrate including a display area and a non-display area;

a display unit formed in the display area, the display unit including a plurality of subpixels arranged in a matrix form,

wherein each subpixel includes a transistor unit and a light emitting unit, and wherein the transistor unit includes a source electrode, a drain electrode, and a gate electrode, and the light emitting unit includes a lower electrode connected to one of the source electrode and the drain electrode;

a main ground line that is formed in the non-display area of the substrate, wherein the main ground line, the source electrode and the drain electrode included in each subpixel are formed using a first material; and

an auxiliary ground line that is formed in the non-display area to surround the non-display area, overlaps at least a portion of the main ground line at a first side of the non-display area and is electrically connected to the main ground line, wherein the auxiliary ground line and the lower electrode included in each subpixel are formed using a second material,

wherein the first material and the second material are different.

2. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the main ground line includes:

a first main ground line positioned at the first side of the non-display area; and

a second main ground line that is positioned at a second side opposite the first side of the non-display area, partially overlaps the auxiliary ground line, and is electrically connected to the auxiliary ground line.

3. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the main ground line and the auxiliary ground line is electrically connected to an upper electrode included in each subpixel.

4. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the main ground line is formed using the same process as the source and drain electrodes included in each subpixel,

wherein the auxiliary ground line is formed using the same process as the lower electrode included in each subpixel.

5. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting unit includes an organic light emitting layer and an upper electrode connected to the main ground line.
