Abstract

A display module including a substrate having a plurality of pixels, a data line that supplies a data signal to a pixel, a current supply line that supplies electric current to the pixel, a data driving circuit that supplies a data signal to the data line, and a gate driving circuit thereon. The plurality of pixels are arranged in a display area of the substrate, and each of the plurality of pixels include a light emitting device, a first thin film transistor connected to the data line that supplies the data signal, a second thin film transistor connected to the current supply line, and a capacitor. The light emitting device includes a first electrode layer connected to the second thin film transistor, an organic layer formed on the first electrode layer, and a second electrode layer formed on the organic layer.

Claims (10)

1. A display module comprising:

a substrate,

the substrate comprising:

a plurality of pixels, a data line that supplies an image signal, a current supply line that supplies electric current to the pixel, a data driving circuit that supplies a data signal to the data line thereon, and a gate driving circuit;

wherein the plurality of pixels comprise a display area and the pixel comprises an emitting device, a first thin film transistor connected to the data line, a second thin film transistor connected to the current supply line, and a capacitor storing an image signal and regulating a gate voltage of the second thin film transistor;

wherein the emitting device comprises a first electrode layer connected to the second thin film transistor and electric current being supplied from the current supply line, an organic layer formed on the first electrode layer, and a second electrode layer serving as a cathode formed on the organic emitting layer;

wherein the second electrode layer is formed to be a uniform film being common to the plurality of pixels in a display area, and a third electrode layer covered by a passivation film is disposed on a lower than the second electrode layer, wherein the second electrode layer and the third electrode layer are connected to each other outside of the display area through a plurality of contact holes formed in the passivation film.

2. The display module according to claim 1 , wherein the first electrode layer of the respective pixels is independently formed.

3. The display module according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of contact holes formed in the passivation film are disposed inside of a sealing region.

4. The display module according to claim 1 , wherein the second electrode layer is formed in a rectangular configuration as viewed from above, and the third electrode layer is connected to one side of the second electrode layer having the rectangular configuration.
