Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display and method of fabricating the same
An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display and method of fabricating the same are disclosed. In one aspect, the OLED display includes a first substrate including a display area and a peripheral area surrounding the display area. The display area includes a plurality of pixels each including an OLED and the peripheral area includes a signal driver electrically connected to the pixels. A conductive layer is formed over the signal driver and on opposing sides of the signal driver and a second substrate is formed over the first substrate. The OLED display further includes a first seal interposed between the first and second substrates in the peripheral area and substantially sealing the first and second substrates and a second seal surrounding the first seal and formed over the signal driver.
1. An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, comprising:
a first substrate including a display area and a peripheral area surrounding the display area, wherein the display area comprises a plurality of pixels, wherein each of the pixels includes an OLED and wherein the peripheral area includes a signal driver electrically connected to the pixels;
a conductive layer formed over the signal driver and on opposing sides of the signal driver;
a second substrate formed over the first substrate;
a first seal interposed between the first and second substrates in the peripheral area and substantially sealing the first and second substrates; and
a second seal surrounding the first seal and formed over the signal driver,
wherein the second seal is spatially separated from the first seal via a gap that extends from the first seal to the second seal,
wherein the signal driver includes a passivation layer and the conductive layer has an opening that exposes a portion of the passivation layer, and
wherein the second seal directly contacts the passivation layer via the opening.
