Abstract

Disclosed is an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display comprising a substrate; an organic light emitting element disposed on the substrate; an encapsulation substrate disposed on the organic light emitting element; and an adhesive layer formed on the substrate, covering the organic light emitting element, and bonding the substrate on which the organic light emitting element is formed with the encapsulation substrate.

Claims (62)

1. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display comprising:

a first substrate,

an organic light emitting element,

a second substrate on the organic light emitting element; and

a barrier layer between the first substrate and the second substrate, the barrier layer covering the organic light emitting element,

wherein the barrier layer comprises a first layer and a second layer located between the first layer and the organic light emitting element, and

wherein the first layer comprises more than about 15 to about 50 parts by weight of a hygroscopic material.

2. The OLED display of claim 1 ,

wherein the first layer and the second layer comprise a same kind of a thermally curable resin or a photocurable resin.

3. The OLED display of claim 2 ,

wherein the first layer and the second layer are formed as one integrated layer without an interface between the first layer and the second layer.

4. The OLED display of claim 1 ,

wherein the hygroscopic material comprises calcium oxide (CaO).

5. The OLED display of claim 1 ,

wherein the second layer comprises a silicon compound.

6. The OLED display of claim 5 ,

wherein the second layer comprises silica.

7. The OLED display of claim 1 , further comprising:

a driving circuit on the first substrate,

wherein the organic light emitting element is on the driving circuit.

8. The OLED display of claim 1 ,

wherein the first layer and the second layer comprise a different kind of a thermally curable resin or a photocurable resin, respectively.

9. The OLED display of claim 8 ,

wherein the first layer and the second layer are separated from each other in a thickness direction of the barrier layer.

10. The OLED display of claim 1 , wherein the hygroscopic material has a particle diameter of about 10 nm to about 20 μm.

11. The OLED display of claim 1 ,

wherein a thickness of the barrier layer is about 5 μm to about 50 μm.

12. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display comprising:

a first substrate,

an organic light emitting element,

a second substrate over the organic light emitting element; and

an intermediate layer between the first substrate and the second substrate, the intermediate layer covering the organic light emitting element,

wherein the intermediate layer comprises multiple layers, and

wherein the intermediate layer has a thickness of about 5 μm to about 50 μm.

13. The OLED display of claim 12 , wherein the intermediate layer comprises a first layer, a second layer and a third layer, and

wherein a thickness ratio of the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer is about 0.1 to about 1.2: about 0.1 to about 1.2: about 0.1 to about 1.2.

14. The OLED display of claim 12 , wherein the intermediate layer comprises a hygroscopic layer and a moisture barrier layer.
