Organic light emitting diode display device
View Patent ↗An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device includes: a base substrate on which OLEDs are formed; an encapsulation substrate disposed on the base substrate to cover the OLEDs; and a bonding member connecting the base substrate and the encapsulating substrate. The base substrate and/or the encapsulation substrate include bonding grooves in which the bonding member is disposed.
1. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device comprising:
a base substrate;
OLEDs disposed on the base substrate;
an encapsulation substrate covering the OLEDs; and
a bonding member connecting the base and encapsulation substrates
wherein one of the base substrate and the encapsulation substrate includes bonding grooves in which the bonding member is disposed, and wherein depths of the bonding grooves are different from each other.
2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the bonding grooves are disposed in edge regions of said one of the base substrate and the encapsulation substrate.
3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the bonding grooves face said one of the base substrate and the encapsulation substrate.
4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the bonding grooves have a same width.
5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the bonding grooves forms a closed loop.
6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the bonding member comprises one of a sealant and a glass frit.
7. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the encapsulation substrate is plate-shaped and comprises a glass material.
8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the bonding grooves have different widths.
9. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device comprising:
a base substrate having first bonding grooves;
OLEDs disposed on the base substrate; an encapsulation substrate covering the OLEDs and having second bonding grooves formed in edge regions thereof; and
a bonding member connecting the encapsulating substrate and the base substrate, wherein the bonding member is disposed in the first and second bonding grooves,
wherein depths of the first bonding grooves are different from each other, and depths of the second bonding grooves are different from each other.
10. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the first and second bonding grooves are disposed in edge regions of the base substrate and the encapsulation substrate, respectively.
11. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the first bonding grooves face the second bonding grooves.
12. The display device of claim 9 , wherein each of the first bonding grooves directly faces a corresponding one of the second bonding grooves.
13. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the first and second bonding grooves are offset in a direction perpendicular to a plane of the base substrates as not to directly face one another.
14. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the bonding member comprises one of a sealant and a glass frit.
15. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the first bonding grooves are symmetrical in shape with respect to the second bonding grooves.
16. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the first and second bonding grooves have a same width.
17. The display device of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the first and second bonding grooves forms a closed loop extending along edges of one of a corresponding base substrate and a corresponding encapsulation substrate.
18. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the encapsulation substrate is formed of a plate-shaped glass material.
19. The display device of claim 9 , wherein the first and second bonding grooves have different respective widths.
