Abstract

Provided is an organic light emitting diode display including a substrate; a display unit formed on the substrate and including a thin film transistor and an organic light emitting diode; a thin film encapsulation covering and encapsulating the display unit and formed by a laminated structure made of at least one first inorganic layer, a first organic layer, and a second inorganic layer; and a protective bezel fixed to the substrate and spaced apart from the side of the substrate to surround edges of the substrate and the thin film encapsulation.

Claims (21)

1. An organic light emitting diode display, comprising:

a substrate;

a display unit formed on the substrate and including a thin film transistor and an organic light emitting diode;

a thin film encapsulation covering and encapsulating the display unit and formed by a laminated structure made of at least one first inorganic layer, a first organic layer, and a second inorganic layer;

a protective bezel fixed to the substrate by restoring force, spaced apart from sides of the substrate, and covering edges of the substrate and the thin film encapsulation; and

a protective member is provided below the substrate, and

the protective bezel includes:

a first fixing part contacting a lower edge of the protective member;

a second fixing part contacting the edge of the thin film encapsulation; and

a buffer part connected to the first fixing part and the second fixing part and spaced apart from the substrate and a side of the protective member.

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

a pad part is positioned at one of the sides of the substrate, and

the protective bezel surrounds the other three sides of the substrate except for the one side having the pad part.

3. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 2 , wherein the protective bezel has elasticity and is assembled with the edge of the substrate by deformation and then presses the substrate and the thin film encapsulation by restoring force.

4. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 2 , wherein the buffer part is formed in at least one shape of a C shape and a square, and one side of the buffer part is opened.

5. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 4 , wherein the buffer part having the C shape is spaced apart from the substrate and the corner of the protective member.

6. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 4 , wherein an air layer exists in the buffer part.

7. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 4 , wherein a sealant is formed in the buffer part.

8. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 2 , the protective bezel includes three straight parts corresponding to the three sides of the substrate and configured in combination of a rigid material and a flexible material.

9. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 8 , wherein the three straight parts includes a rigid straight part positioned at an opposite side of the pad part and two flexible straight parts connected to both ends of the rigid straight part.

10. The organic light emitting diode display of claim 8 , wherein the three straight parts includes a flexible straight part positioned at an opposite side of the pad part and two rigid straight parts connected to both ends of the flexible straight part.
