Abstract

An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display includes a display panel for displaying images, a bracket for supporting the display panel, a buffer member disposed between each corner region of the display panel and the bracket, and an adhesive member disposed between the display panel and the bracket to combine the display panel with the bracket.

Claims (41)

1. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, comprising:

a display panel displaying an image;

a bracket supporting the display panel;

a buffer member disposed between a corner region of the display panel and the bracket; and

an adhesive member disposed between the display panel and the bracket to combine the display panel with the bracket;

the buffer member includes a coupling protrusion protruding from a first face of the buffer member, the first face facing the bracket, and the bracket including a coupling hole into which the coupling protrusion of the buffer member is inserted.

2. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 1 , the buffer member is disposed to face a rear surface and a side surface of the display panel.

3. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 2 , the buffer member includes a second face facing the rear surface of the display panel and an inner side wall facing the side of the display panel.

4. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 3 , a groove is formed on the inner side wall facing a corner vertex of the display panel so that the inner side wall may be separated from the corner vertex of the display panel.

5. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 1 , further comprising a flexible printed circuit (FPC) disposed near a first side of the bracket combined with the display panel and connected to an edge of the display panel, the first side of the bracket being opposite to a second side of the bracket facing the display panel.

6. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 1 , the adhesive member is made of thermally-conductive adhesive material.

7. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 1 , the buffer member is made of a material relatively more elastic than the display panel and the bracket.

8. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 7 , the buffer member is made of a resin material.

9. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 7 , the bracket is formed by pressing a metal material.

10. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 3 , the buffer member has one of a square shape and a rectangular shape and comprises a pair of coupling protrusions diagonally disposed in opposite corners and extended from the second face of the buffer member.

11. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, comprising:

a display panel displaying an image;

a bracket supporting the display panel;

a buffer member disposed between a corner region of the display panel and the bracket; and

an adhesive member disposed between the display panel and the bracket to combine the display panel with the bracket;

a groove formed on an inner side wall facing a corner vertex of the display panel so that the inner side wall may be separated from the corner vertex of the display panel.

12. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 11 , the buffer member is disposed to face a rear surface and a side surface of the display panel.

13. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 12 , the buffer member includes a first face facing the rear surface of the display panel and an inner side wall facing the side surface of the display panel.

14. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 12 , the buffer member includes a coupling protrusion protruding from a second face of the buffer member, the second face facing the bracket, and the bracket including a coupling hole into which the coupling protrusion of the buffer member is inserted.

15. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 12 , the buffer member includes a pair of coupling protrusions protruding from a second face of the buffer member, the second face facing the bracket, and the bracket including a corresponding pair of coupling holes into which the coupling protrusions of the buffer member are inserted.

16. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 14 , the coupling protrusion is cone shaped.

17. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, comprising:

a display panel displaying an image;

a bracket supporting the display panel;

a buffer member disposed between a corner region of the display panel and the bracket; and

an adhesive member disposed between the display panel and the bracket to combine the display panel with the bracket; and

a flexible printed circuit (FPC) disposed near a first side of the bracket combined with the display panel and connected to an edge of the display panel, the first side of the bracket being opposite from a second side of the bracket facing the display panel,

the buffer member includes a pair of coupling protrusions facing the bracket.

18. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display, comprising:

a display panel displaying an image;

a bracket supporting the display panel;

a buffer member disposed between a corner region of the display panel and the bracket; and

an adhesive member disposed between the display panel and the bracket to combine the display panel with the bracket;

the buffer member having one of a square shape and a rectangular shape and comprising a pair of coupling protrusions diagonally disposed in opposite corners and extended from a face of the buffer member.

19. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 18 , the buffer member is disposed to face a rear surface and a side surface of the display panel.

20. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 19 , the buffer member includes a first face facing the rear surface of the display panel and an inner side wall facing the side surface of the display panel.
