Abstract

An OLED display includes a substrate including a display area and a non-display area disposed adjacent to the display area, a pixel circuit portion disposed in the display area, and an organic light emitting diode including a first electrode connected to the pixel circuit portion and a second electrode that faces the first electrode. The OLED display further includes a common voltage portion disposed in the non-display area, connected to the second electrode, and disposed on a layer that is different from the second electrode. The OLED display further includes an encapsulation portion disposed in the display area and the non-display area and covering the organic light emitting diode, and a touch sensor disposed on the encapsulation portion. The touch sensor includes a touch portion disposed in the display area, and a connection wire disposed in the non-display area and connected to the touch portion.
