Organic light emitting display and method of manufacturing the same
An organic light emitting display and a method of manufacturing the organic light emitting display are provided. The organic light emitting display includes a display unit including pixels coupled to scan lines, data lines, emission control lines, and power lines, a scan driver on a side of the display unit and coupled to the scan lines, an emission control driver on another side of the display unit and coupled to the emission control lines, a first power pad on a side of one of the scan driver or the emission control driver for receiving power, a second power pad on another side of the one of the scan driver or the emission control driver, the second power pad coupled to the power lines, and power buses coupling the first power pad and the second power pad to each other.
1. An organic light emitting display comprising:
a display unit comprising pixels coupled to scan lines, data lines, emission control lines, and power lines;
a scan driver on a side of the display unit and coupled to the scan lines;
an emission control driver on another side of the display unit and coupled to the emission control lines;
a first power pad on a side of one of the scan driver or the emission control driver for receiving power;
a second power pad on another side of the one of the scan driver or the emission control driver, the second power pad being directly coupled to the power lines; and
power buses for coupling the first power pad and the second power pad to each other,
wherein a first one of the power buses connects a first end of the first power pad to a first end of the second power pad, and a second one of the power buses connects a second end of the first power pad to a second end of the second power pad such that the first power pad, the second power pad, and the power buses surround the one of the scan driver or the emission control driver,
wherein the power buses are in an upper portion and a lower portion of the display unit, and
wherein the first power pad and the second power pad are not coupled to the scan driver or the emission control driver.
2. The organic light emitting display as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the power lines comprise a main power line and a sub power line, and
wherein the main power line and the sub power line are arranged in a mesh.
3. The organic light emitting display as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the main power line is coupled to the second power pad.
4. The organic light emitting display as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the sub power line is coupled to the second power pad.
5. The organic light emitting display as claimed in claim 4 , wherein each of the pixels comprises:
an organic light emitting diode (OLED) for emitting light to correspond to the amount of a driving current;
a first transistor for generating the driving current in response to a data signal;
a second transistor for selectively transmitting the data signal to the first transistor;
a third transistor for selectively supplying the driving current to the OLED; and
a capacitor for storing a voltage of the data signal transmitted to the first transistor.
6. The organic light emitting display as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a first electrode of the capacitor comprises a silicon layer and a second electrode of the capacitor comprises a gate metal for forming a gate of at least one of the first transistor, the second transistor, or the third transistor.
