Abstract

An organic light emitting display apparatus capable of reducing a dead space for arranging wirings in a panel. The organic light emitting display apparatus includes: a panel including a screen portion on which images are displayed and a non-screen portion surrounding the screen portion; a first wiring portion and a second wiring portion formed on different locations of the non-screen portion to be connected to pixel wirings on the screen portion; and a film substrate including a plurality of connection portions connected to the first wiring portion and the second wiring portion. Thus, the dead space that is formed on the non-screen portion of the panel for forming the wirings may be effectively reduced.

Claims (20)

1. An organic light emitting display apparatus comprising:

a panel comprising a screen portion on which images are displayed and a non-screen portion surrounding the screen portion;

a first wiring portion and a second wiring portion on different locations of the non-screen portion, each configured to be connected to pixel wirings on the screen portion;

a first pad portion and a second pad portion at opposite sides of the non-screen portion facing each other across the screen portion, and connected to the first wiring portion and the second wiring portion respectively;

a single film substrate comprising a plurality of connection portions connected to the first wiring portion and the second wiring portion through the first pad portion and the second pad portion, the plurality of connection portions on the first pad portion and the second pad portion at the opposite sides of the non-screen portion facing each other across the screen portion; and

a main board configured to connect the film substrate to an electric power.

2. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

the first wiring portion is connected to the pixel wirings at a first side portion of the screen portion; and

the second wiring portion is connected to the pixel wirings at a second side portion of the screen portion separated from the first side portion of the screen portion.

3. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the pixel wirings comprise gate lines via which a scan signal to each of a plurality of pixels in the screen portion is applied.

4. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the pixel wirings further comprise data lines and driving power lines configured to be connected to the film substrate, not through the first wiring portion and the second wiring portion, to apply a data signal and a driving power signal to each of the pixels.

5. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first pad portion and the second pad portion are on a first surface of the panel, in which the screen portion is seen, and the film substrate is attached to a second surface of the panel facing oppositely away from the first surface.

6. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first wiring portion and the second wiring portion are on a first surface of the panel, in which the screen portion is seen, and the film substrate is attached to the non-screen portion of the panel on the first surface and configured to be connected to the first wiring portion and the second wiring portion via the connection portions.

7. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising a third wiring portion and a fourth wiring portion configured to be connected to the connection portions of the film substrate on the first surface of the panel.

8. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the pixel wirings comprise gate lines configured to be connected to the first wiring portion and the second wiring portion to apply scan signals to pixels in the screen portion, data lines configured to be connected to the third wiring portion to apply data signals to the pixels, and driving power lines configured to be connected to the fourth wiring portion to apply driving voltage signals to the pixels.

9. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a driving chip on the film substrate.

10. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising:

a driving component selected from a resistor and a capacitor on the film substrate.

11. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the panel is formed in a square shape or a circular shape.
