Abstract

The display panel includes: a panel cover; an adhesive layer positioned below the panel cover; and a plurality of display modules detachably attached to the panel cover by the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer includes: a first adhesive layer positioned on the plurality of display modules, and a second adhesive layer positioned on the first adhesive layer. A peel strength of the second adhesive layer is greater than a peel strength of the first adhesive layer.

Claims (71)

1. A display panel comprising:

wherein a peel strength of the second adhesive layer is greater than a peel strength of the first adhesive layer,

wherein each of the plurality of display modules is configured to be attached to and detached from the panel cover via the adhesive layer, individually and separately from remaining display modules of the plurality of display modules,

wherein each of the plurality of display modules comprises:

a plurality of inorganic light emitting devices, and

an adhesive portion having a shape which follows a shape of the plurality of inorganic light emitting devices, respectively,

wherein the adhesive portion comprises:

a first adhesive portion provided on the plurality of inorganic light emitting devices, and

a second adhesive portion provided on the first adhesive portion, and

wherein a peel strength of the second adhesive portion is greater than a peel strength of the first adhesive portion.

2. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the first adhesive layer is formed of one of silicon, acryl, polyvinyl alcohol, urethane, rubber, or any combination thereof.

3. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the second adhesive layer is formed of one of silicon, acryl, polyvinyl alcohol, urethane, rubber, or any combination thereof.

4. The display panel according to claim 1 , further comprising a base layer provided between the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer.

6. The display panel according to claim 1 , further comprising an optical film provided on the panel cover.

7. The display panel according to claim 6 , wherein a relationship of a thickness of the adhesive layer and a retardation satisfy a following inequality:

a (nm)*Δ n≤b =10 nm,

where a is the thickness of the adhesive layer,

b is the retardation, and

Δn represents a difference between a refractive index in a traveling direction of light and a refractive index in a direction that is perpendicular to the traveling direction of light, with respect to the adhesive layer.

8. The display panel according to claim 6 , wherein a reflectivity of light transmitted through the adhesive layer is smaller than 0.5%.

9. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the peel strength between each of the plurality of display modules and the first adhesive layer is in a range of 10 g/inch to 100 g/inch, and

the peel strength between the panel cover and the second adhesive layer is in a range of 500 g/inch to 2,000 g/inch.

10. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer is in a range of 20 μm to 200 μm.

11. A display apparatus comprising:

a frame; and

a display panel installed in the frame, and comprising:

a panel cover,

a plurality of display modules arranged in a matrix and detachably attached to the panel cover, and

an adhesive layer,

wherein the adhesive layer comprises:

a second adhesive layer provided on the first adhesive layer,

wherein a peel strength of the second adhesive layer is greater than a peel strength of the first adhesive layer,

wherein each of the plurality of display modules is configured to be attached to and detached from the panel cover via the adhesive layer, individually and separately from remaining display modules of the plurality of display modules,

wherein each of the plurality of display modules comprises:

a plurality of inorganic light emitting devices, and

an adhesive portion having a shape which follows a shape of the plurality of inorganic light emitting devices, respectively,

wherein the adhesive portion comprises:

a first adhesive portion provided on the plurality of inorganic light emitting devices, and

a second adhesive portion provided on the first adhesive portion, and

wherein a peel strength of the second adhesive portion is greater than a peel strength of the first adhesive portion.

12. The display apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the first adhesive layer is formed of one of silicon, acryl, polyvinyl alcohol, urethane, rubber, or any combination thereof, and

the second adhesive layer is formed of one of silicon, acryl, polyvinyl alcohol, urethane, rubber, or any combination thereof.

13. The display apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the peel strength between each of the plurality of display modules and the first adhesive layer is in a range of 10 g/inch to 100 g/inch, and

the peel strength between the panel cover and the second adhesive layer is in a range of 500 g/inch to 2,000 g/inch.

14. The display apparatus according to claim 11 , further comprising an optical film provided on the panel cover.
