Abstract

An organic light-emitting display apparatus with improved durability, the organic light-emitting display apparatus including: a panel assembly including a display unit in which at least one organic light-emitting device is formed; a polarization layer disposed on a first surface of the panel assembly; a cushion tape formed to cover a bottom surface of the panel assembly and at least one side of the panel assembly, and an accommodation member having a bottom portion and a lateral portion, the bottom portion and a lateral portion of the accommodation member contacting the cushion tape to accommodate the panel assembly.

Claims (30)

1. An organic light-emitting display apparatus comprising:

a panel assembly comprising a display unit in which at least one organic light-emitting device is formed;

a polarization layer disposed on a first surface of the panel assembly; and

a cushion tape formed to cover an opposite surface to the first surface of the panel assembly and at least one side of the panel assembly.

2. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the polarization layer has a smaller width than a width of the panel assembly in one direction so that a predetermined region of the first surface is exposed.

3. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 2 , wherein one end of the cushion tape extends long, so as to contact the exposed region of the first surface.

4. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cushion tape is connected to an upper surface of the polarization layer, which is opposite to a bottom surface of the polarization layer facing the first surface of the panel assembly.

5. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cushion tape extends to correspond to one of the sides of the polarization layer.

6. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the polarization layer has a greater width than one of the widths of the panel assembly.

7. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the cushion tape contacts an exposed region of the polarization layer that does not contact the panel assembly, which corresponds to regions of the polarization layer on which the panel assembly is disposed.

8. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising an accommodation member contacting the cushion tape to accommodate the panel assembly.

9. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the accommodation member comprises a bottom portion and a lateral portion to correspond to a bottom surface and sides of the cushion tape, respectively.

10. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive layer disposed between the cushion tape and the panel assembly.

11. An organic light-emitting display apparatus comprising:

a panel assembly comprising:

a base substrate;

a display unit disposed on the base substrate, the display unit comprising organic light-emitting device;

a sealing substrate disposed on the display unit; and

a sealant connecting the base substrate to the sealing substrate;

a polarization layer disposed on an upper surface of the sealing substrate; and

a cushion tape formed to cover a bottom surface to the base substrate of the panel assembly and at least one side of the panel assembly.

12. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 11 , said polarization layer being smaller than said sealing substrate, said cushion tape being wrapped over an exposed edge portion of the upper surface of the sealing substrate.

13. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 11 , said polarization layer being smaller than said sealing substrate, said cushion tape being wrapped over an edge portion of an upper surface of the polarization layer.

14. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 11 , said polarization layer being larger than said sealing substrate, said cushion tape being further formed to cover an exposed edge portion of a bottom surface of the polarization layer.

15. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 11 , said polarization layer being and said sealing substrate having a similar dimension, said cushion tape being further formed to partially cover a side portion of the polarization layer.

16. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 11 , further comprising an accommodation member having a bottom portion and a lateral portion, the bottom portion and a lateral portion of the accommodation member contacting the cushion tape to accommodate the panel assembly.

17. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 12 , further comprising an accommodation member having a bottom portion and a lateral portion, the bottom portion and a lateral portion of the accommodation member contacting the cushion tape to accommodate the panel assembly.

18. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 13 , further comprising an accommodation member having a bottom portion and a lateral portion, the bottom portion and a lateral portion of the accommodation member contacting the cushion tape to accommodate the panel assembly.

19. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 14 , further comprising an accommodation member having a bottom portion and a lateral portion, the bottom portion and a lateral portion of the accommodation member contacting the cushion tape to accommodate the panel assembly.

20. The organic light-emitting display apparatus of claim 15 , further comprising an accommodation member having a bottom portion and a lateral portion, the bottom portion and a lateral portion of the accommodation member contacting the cushion tape to accommodate the panel assembly.
