Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a display device including a light emitting element display. The present disclosure suggests a flat panel display comprising: a substrate; a driving element disposed on a first surface of the substrate; an organic light emitting diode disposed on a second surface of the substrate; a through-hole penetrating the substrate from the front surface to the rear surface; and a connecting electrode filling the through-hole for linking the driving element to the organic light emitting diode.

Claims (42)

1. A display device, comprising:

a substrate;

a driver element disposed on a first surface of the substrate;

a light emitting element disposed on a second surface of the substrate;

a through-hole penetrating the substrate from the first surface to the second surface; and

a connecting electrode filling the through-hole for linking the driving element to the light emitting element,

wherein the light emitting element is organic light emitting diode, the organic light emitting diode includes:

an anode electrode disposed in a matrix manner on the first surface;

a bank covering circumference areas of the anode electrode;

an organic light emitting layer on the anode electrode exposed by the bank; and

a cathode electrode disposed on the organic light emitting layer,

wherein the through-hole and the connecting electrode are disposed as overlapping with the bank, and

wherein the bank is disposed as fully covering the through-hole and the connecting electrode.

2. The display device according to the claim 1 , wherein the driving element includes:

a scan line running to a first direction on the second surface;

a data line and a current driving line running to a second direction on the second surface;

a switching thin film transistor connecting between the scan line and the data line; and

a driving thin film transistor connecting between the switching thin film transistor and the current driving line, and

wherein the driving thin film transistor connects to the connecting electrode.

3. The display device according to the claim 1 , further comprising:

an en-cap joined to the first surface of the substrate;

a plurality of an auxiliary line disposed on the en-cap as facing to the bank; and

a color filter disposed between two neighboring auxiliary lines,

wherein the auxiliary lines contact the cathode electrode.

4. The display device according to the claim 1 , wherein the through-hole and the connecting electrode comprise a plurality of through holes and connecting electrodes, and the plurality of the through-hole and the connecting electrode is disposed along the bank.

5. The display device according to the claim 1 , wherein the through-hole and the connecting electrode comprise a plurality of through holes and connecting electrodes, and the plurality of the through-hole and the connecting electrode are disposed overlapping the bank along one side of a vertical circumference of the anode electrode.

6. The display device according to the claim 1 , wherein the through-hole and the connecting electrode comprise a plurality of through holes and connecting electrodes, and the plurality of the through-hole and the connecting electrode are disposed overlapping the bank along one side of a horizontal circumference of the anode electrode.

7. The display device according to the claim 1 , wherein the through-hole includes:

a first hole disposed on the first surface; and

a second hole disposed on the second surface,

wherein the first hole has the same size of the second hole.

8. The display device according to the claim 1 , wherein the through-hole includes:

a first hole disposed on the first surface; and

a second hole disposed on the second surface,

wherein the first hole is larger than the second hole.

9. The display device according to the claim 1 , wherein the through-hole includes:

a first hole disposed on the first surface; and

a second hole disposed on the second surface,

wherein the first hole is smaller than the second hole.

10. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein at least a part of the through-hole overlaps a bank of the light emitting element.

11. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting electrode filling the through-hole have bumped portions extruded upward and downward from the first surface and the second surface, respectively.

12. The display device according to the claim 3 , wherein the auxiliary line is directly disposed on and contact the cathode, without other layers interposed therebetween.
