Abstract

An organic light emitting display device is disclosed which includes a magnet inserted into a bottom cover. The magnet is used to combine an organic light emitting display panel with a support means which is used to support the organic light emitting display panel and includes an upper cover, the bottom cover and a side cover. A sealing member included in the organic light emitting display panel is fastened to the bottom cover by a magnetic force of the magnet. As such, it is easy to separate the organic light emitting display panel and the support means from each other when a fault is generated in any component. In accordance therewith, the manufacturing process can be simplified and the faulty component can be easily replaced with a normal component. As a result, the manufacturing costs of the organic light emitting display device can be reduced.

Claims (31)

1. An organic light emitting display device comprising:

a display panel configured to include a substrate and a sealing member;

a bottom cover disposed under the display panel and configured to support the display panel; and

at least one first magnet disposed on or within the bottom cover in order to fasten the display panel to the bottom cover,

wherein the sealing member is formed from a metal material.

2. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a side cover combined with the bottom cover and disposed around the bottom cover.

3. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

an upper cover configured to protect upper edges of the display panel.

4. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the first magnet covers the whole upper surface of the bottom cover.

5. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of first magnet cover the whole upper surface of the bottom cover.

6. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the first magnet has a shape of rectangular.

7. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein one side of the first magnet is attached to the bottom cover by using adhesive layer, and the other side of the first magnet is adhered to the sealing member by magnetic force.

8. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the bottom cover includes:

at least one first hole formed in a lower surface of the bottom cover; and

at least one second hole connected with the at least one first hole and formed in an upper surface of the bottom cover, and

wherein the first magnet is inserted into the first hole.

9. The organic light emitting display device of claim 8 , wherein the second hole is formed in a smaller size than that of the first hole.

10. The organic light emitting display device of claim 8 , wherein the first magnet is formed in a shape matching with the first hole.

11. The organic light emitting display device of claim 8 , wherein the first hole is formed in a screw shape and the first magnet is formed in a screw shape matching with the screw shape of the first hole.

12. The organic light emitting display device of claim 8 , wherein the bottom cover further includes at least one magnet cover disposed to fasten the at least one magnet which is inserted into the at least one first hole.

13. The organic light emitting display device of claim 8 , wherein one or more second magnet is disposed at a position of the upper surface of the bottom cover matching with the first magnet.

14. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the bottom cover includes at least one first concave portion formed in a lower surface of the bottom cover, and the at least one first magnet is inserted into the at least one first concave portion.

15. The organic light emitting display device of claim 14 , wherein the first magnet is formed in a shape matching with the first concave portion.

16. The organic light emitting display device of claim 14 , wherein the first concave portion is formed in a screw shape and the first magnet is formed in a screw shape matching with the screw shape of the first concave portion.

17. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the display panel is curved in a pre-determined curvature.

18. The organic light emitting display device of claim 14 , wherein the bottom cover is curved in the same curvature as the display panel.

19. The organic light emitting display device of claim 14 , wherein the bottom cover includes:

an upper surface curved in the same curvature as the display panel; and

a lower surface formed to maintain a consistent horizontality.

20. The organic light emitting display device of claim 1 , wherein the first magnet includes graphite.
