Abstract

A display substrate is disclosed. The disclosed display substrate can comprise: a thin film transistor substrate; a plurality of micro LEDs arranged on one surface of the thin film transistor substrate; a rear substrate having one surface coupled to the other surface of the thin film transistor substrate, and having at least a part of an edge protruding further than the edge of the thin film transistor substrate so as to form a stepped part together with the thin film transistor substrate; and a plurality of wirings formed on the stepped part and the other surface of the rear substrate so as to electrically connect the one surface of the thin film transistor substrate and the other surface of the rear substrate.

Claims (31)

1. A display panel, comprising:

a thin film transistor (TFT) substrate;

a plurality of micro light emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged at one surface of the TFT substrate;

a rear substrate having a one surface coupled to a other surface of the TFT substrate and having at least a part of an edge protruding further than an edge of the TFT substrate to form a stepped part with the TFT substrate; and

a plurality of wirings formed at the stepped part and a other surface of the rear substrate to electrically connect the one surface of the TFT substrate with the other surface of the rear substrate,

wherein each of the plurality of wirings comprise:

a first wiring formed to extend from the other surface of the rear substrate and penetrate an edge part of the rear substrate; and

a second wiring formed in the stepped part to electrically connect with the first wiring, and

wherein a via hole is formed in an area corresponding to the rear substrate in the stepped part, and a part of the first wiring is formed in the via hole.

2. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the second wiring is electrically connected from a part of the first wiring formed in the via hole along the stepped part to the first connection pad placed on one surface of the TFT substrate.

3. The display panel of claim 2 , wherein the second wiring is formed in a pattern type applied to the stepped part.

4. The display panel of claim 2 , wherein the second wiring is formed as a metal wiring type.

5. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the rear substrate further comprises a protection layer configured to cover the first wiring.

6. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the rear substrate is comprised of any one from among a Polyimide (PI), a Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), a Polyethersulfone (PES), a Polyethylene Naphthalate (PEN) or Polycarbonate (PC).

7. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the rear substrate is a flexible plastic film.

8. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the rear substrate is a glass film.

9. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the TFT substrate comprises:

a flexible film substrate; and

a plurality of TFT wiring layers formed on the flexible film substrate.

10. A display panel, comprising:

a substrate to which a stepped part is formed at an edge;

a plurality of micro light emitting diodes (LED) arranged at one surface of the substrate;

a first wiring extending to a via hole formed at the rear substrate of the substrate and the stepped part; and

a second wiring formed in the stepped part to electrically connect the first wiring exposed in the via hole with a connection pad formed on a front surface of the substrate.

11. The display panel of claim 10 , wherein the substrate comprises:

a TFT substrate; and

a rear substrate coupled to a rear surface of the TFT substrate and formed with a synthetic resin.

12. A large display device with a plurality of display panels consecutively connected,

wherein each of the display panels comprise: a thin film transistor (TFT) glass substrate; a plurality of micro light emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged at one surface of the TFT substrate; a rear substrate having a one surface coupled to a other surface of the TFT substrate and having at least a part of an edge protruding further than an edge of the TFT substrate to form a stepped part with the TFT substrate; and a plurality of wirings formed at the stepped part and a other surface of the rear substrate to electrically connect the one surface of the TFT substrate with the other surface of the rear substrate;

wherein the micro LED is configured to form one pixel per three micro LEDs, and

wherein a plurality of pixels provided in each of the display panels is placed to an identical first pitch, and pixels of display panels which are adjacent to each other from among the pixels of the display panel is placed to a second pitch identical to the first pitch.
