Abstract

An organic electroluminescence display module includes a display panel including a display region and a pad region, a mold frame supporting the display panel and including a recess in a region corresponding to the pad region, and an accommodation guide hole in an edge of the recess, a driving integrated circuit chip disposed between the display panel and the accommodation guide hole, and a cover installed over the recess, a metal member being inserted in the cover. A portion of the metal member contacts the driving integrated circuit chip, and another portion of the metal member is exposed to an outside of the organic electroluminescence display module.

Claims (23)

1. An organic electroluminescence display module comprising:

a display panel including a display region and a pad region;

a mold frame supporting the display panel and including: a recess in a region corresponding to the pad region; and an accommodation guide hole in an edge of the recess;

a driving integrated circuit chip disposed between the display panel and the accommodation guide hole; and

a cover mounted in the recess, a metal member being inserted in the cover,

wherein a portion of the metal member contacts the driving integrated circuit chip, and another portion of the metal member is exposed to an outside of the organic electroluminescence display module.

2. The organic electroluminescence display module of claim 1 , wherein the metal member includes at least one of Cu, Ag, or Al.

3. The organic electroluminescence display module of claim 1 , wherein:

the metal member includes a heat source contact part, an external exposure part, and a connection part connecting the heat source contact part to the external exposure part,

the heat source contact part contacts the driving integrated circuit chip, and

the external exposure part is exposed to the outside.

4. The organic electroluminescence display module of claim 3 , wherein an exposed surface of the external exposure part is coplanar with a rear surface of the mold frame.

5. The organic electroluminescence display module of claim 3 , wherein:

the cover includes a first protrusion portion on a region corresponding to the accommodation guide hole, and a second protrusion portion disposed at both ends of the first protrusion portion and having a height equal to a depth of the recess, and

the metal member is inserted in the first protrusion.

6. The organic electroluminescence display module of claim 5 , wherein the heat source contact part has an exposed surface that is wider than an exposed surface of the external exposure part.

7. The organic electroluminescence display module of claim 5 , wherein an exposed surface of the heat source contact part is coplanar with a protrusion surface of the first protrusion portion.

8. The organic electroluminescence display module of claim 5 , wherein an exposed surface of the heat source contact part protrudes farther inwardly than a protrusion surface of the first protrusion portion.

9. The organic electroluminescence display module of claim 1 , further comprising:

a printed circuit board disposed between the recess and the cover; and

a flexible printed circuit board passing through the accommodation guide hole to connect the printed circuit board to the driving integrated circuit chip and disposed between the display panel and the driving integrated circuit chip.

10. The organic electroluminescence display module of claim 1 , further comprising a heat dissipation sheet disposed between the driving integrated circuit chip and the metal member.

11. The organic electroluminescence display module of claim 10 , wherein the heat dissipation sheet has a width wider than that of the driving integrated circuit chip.
