Organic light emitting diode display with specific sealing member
View Patent ↗Embodiments may include an OLED display including a substrate, a display unit over the substrate and including a plurality of pixels, a conductive contact layer outside the display unit at a distance from the display unit, and a sealing member facing the display unit and fixed to the substrate by the conductive contact layer. The sealing member may include a plurality of metal layers laminated with an insulating adhesive layer, the insulating adhesive layer being between the metal layers, and a supporting layer neighboring the metal layers with the insulating adhesive layer being between the supporting layer and the metal layers. The plurality of metal layers may be electrically connected to the display unit through the conductive contact layer.
1. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, comprising:
a substrate;
a display unit over the substrate and including a plurality of pixels;
a conductive contact layer outside the display unit at a distance from the display unit;
a sealing member facing the display unit and fixed to the substrate by the conductive contact layer;
wherein the sealing member includes
a plurality of metal layers laminated with an insulating adhesive layer, the insulating adhesive layer being between the metal layers; and
a supporting layer neighboring the metal layers with the insulating adhesive layer being between the supporting layer and the metal layers; and
the plurality of metal layers being electrically connected to the display unit through the conductive contact layer.
2. The OLED display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the supporting layer has a same width as one of the plurality of metal layers.
3. The OLED display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the supporting layer is between neighboring metal layers among the plurality of metal layers.
4. The OLED display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the supporting layer is on an uppermost metal layer of the plurality of metal layers.
5. The OLED display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the supporting layer has a bending strength higher than that of the plurality of metal layers.
6. The OLED display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the supporting layer includes a resin.
7. The OLED display as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising
at least two pad parts between the substrate and the conductive contact layer, the at least two pad parts being electrically connected to the display unit,
wherein the plurality of metal layers are respectively electrically connected to two different pad parts among the at least two pad parts through the conductive contact layer.
8. The OLED display as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of metal layers respectively includes an oxide layer formed at one surface other than another surface being in contact with the conductive contact layer.
