Abstract

The present invention relates to a flexible transparent display sheet, and an image display apparatus including the same. The flexible transparent display sheet according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a base disposed in a display area and a connection area; a metal layer formed on the base; an anti-oxide layer formed on a portion of the metal layer; a plurality of solders formed on a portion of the anti-oxide layer; a plurality of light emitters, each of which is connected to each of the plurality of solders; and an insulation layer disposed in the connection area and formed on the anti-oxide layer. Accordingly, a flexible transparent display sheet having an integrally formed power connector may be provided.

Claims (49)

1. A flexible transparent display sheet having a display area and a connection area, the flexible transparent display sheet comprising:

a base disposed in the display area and the connection area;

a metal layer formed on the base;

an anti-oxide layer formed on a portion of the metal layer;

a plurality of solders formed on a portion of the anti-oxide layer;

a plurality of light emitters, each of which is connected to each of the plurality of solders; and

an insulation layer disposed in the connection area and formed on the anti-oxide layer.

2. The flexible transparent display sheet of claim 1 , wherein:

the anti-oxide layer is disposed in the display area and a first region of the connection area; and

the insulation layer is disposed in the first region of the connection area.

3. The flexible transparent display sheet of claim 1 , further comprising a second metal layer disposed in the connection area and formed on the metal layer.

4. The flexible transparent display sheet of claim 3 , wherein a height of the second metal layer is equal to a sum of a height of the anti-oxide layer and a height of the insulation layer.

5. The flexible transparent display sheet of claim 3 , wherein:

the anti-oxide layer is disposed in the display area and the first region of the connection area; and

the second metal layer is disposed in a second region adjacent to the first region of the connection area.

6. The flexible transparent display sheet of claim 5 , wherein a width of the first region is greater than a width of the second region.

7. The flexible transparent display sheet of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of solders, formed on a portion of the anti-oxide layer, are electrically connected to the metal layer through an opening of the anti-oxide layer.

8. The flexible transparent display sheet of claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive layer disposed on the periphery of the light emitters, and formed on another portion of the anti-oxide layer.

9. The flexible transparent display sheet of claim 8 , wherein a width of the adhesive layer, which is disposed between the light emitters, is greater than a width of the adhesive layer disposed on a border between the display area and the connection area.

10. The flexible transparent display sheet of claim 8 , wherein a height of the adhesive layer is greater than a sum of a height of the solder and a height of the light emitter.

11. The flexible transparent display sheet of claim 3 , wherein a height of the second metal layer is smaller than a height of the base and is greater than a height of the metal layer.

12. The flexible transparent display sheet of claim 1 , wherein the light emitters comprise a micro light emitting diode (LED).

13. A flexible transparent display sheet having a display area and a connection area, the flexible transparent display sheet comprising:

a base disposed in the display area and the connection area;

a metal layer formed on the base;

an anti-oxide layer formed on a portion of the metal layer;

a plurality of solders formed on a portion of the anti-oxide layer;

a plurality of light emitters, each of which is connected to each of the plurality of solders;

an insulation layer disposed in a first area of the connection area and formed on the anti-oxide layer; and

a second metal layer, which is disposed in a second area adjacent to the first area of the connection area, and is formed on the metal layer.

14. The flexible transparent display sheet of claim 13 , wherein a height of the second metal layer is equal to a sum of a height of the anti-oxide layer and a height of the insulation layer.

15. An image display apparatus, comprising:

a display; and

a controller configured to control the display,

wherein the display comprises a flexible transparent display sheet having a display area and a connection area,

wherein the flexible transparent display sheet comprises:

a base disposed in the display area and the connection area;

a metal layer formed on the base;

an anti-oxide layer formed on a portion of the metal layer;

a plurality of solders formed on a portion of the anti-oxide layer;

a plurality of light emitters, each of which is connected to each of the plurality of solders; and

an insulation layer disposed in the connection area and formed on the anti-oxide layer.

16. The image display apparatus of claim 15 , wherein:

the anti-oxide layer is disposed in the display area and a first region of the connection area; and

the insulation layer is disposed in the first region of the connection area.

17. The image display apparatus of claim 15 , further comprising a second metal layer disposed in the connection area and formed on the metal layer.

18. The image display apparatus of claim 17 , wherein a height of the second metal layer is equal to a sum of a height of the anti-oxide layer and a height of the insulation layer.

19. The image display apparatus of claim 17 , further comprising an adhesive layer disposed on the periphery of the light emitters, and formed on another portion of the anti-oxide layer.

20. The image display apparatus of claim 19 , wherein a width of the adhesive layer, which is disposed between the light emitters, is greater than a width of the adhesive layer disposed on a border between the display area and the connection area.
