Abstract

An organic light emitting display apparatus can include a substrate including a display area and a bending area; a pixel array layer including a driving wiring in the display area, and a thin film transistor electrically connected to the driving wiring; a planarization layer covering the pixel array layer; a light emitting device layer disposed on the planarization layer, the light emitting device layer being electrically connected to the thin film transistor; a routing wiring disposed in the bending area, the routing wiring being electrically connected to the driving wiring; a wiring contact part including a contact hole for electrically connecting the driving wiring to the routing wiring; and an encapsulation layer covering the light emitting device layer and the wiring contact part.

Claims (36)

1. An organic light emitting display apparatus comprising:

a substrate including a display area and a bending area;

a pixel array layer including a driving wiring in the display area, and a thin film transistor electrically connected to the driving wiring;

an interlayer insulating layer covering the display area without covering the bending area;

a planarization layer covering the display area and the bending area on the pixel array layer;

a light emitting device layer disposed on the planarization layer, the light emitting device layer being electrically connected to the thin film transistor;

a wiring contact part disposed in the display area close to the bending area, and including a contact hole formed at the interlayer insulating layer;

a routing wiring extended from the bending area to the wiring contact part, the routing wiring being electrically connected to the driving wiring through the contact hole; and

an encapsulation layer covering the light emitting device layer and the wiring contact part,

wherein the planarization layer is absent from the wiring contact part, and

wherein the encapsulation layer covers a side surface of the planarization layer adjacent to the wiring contact part, and overlaps with the routing wiring in the wiring contact part.

2. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the routing wiring directly contacts an upper surface of planarization layer in the bending area, an opposite side surface of the planarization layer adjacent to the wiring contact part, and an upper surface of the interlayer insulation layer in the wiring contact part.

3. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting device layer comprises:

a first electrode disposed on the planarization layer, the first electrode being electrically connected to the thin film transistor;

a light emitting layer disposed on the first electrode; and

a second electrode disposed on the light emitting layer,

wherein the routing wiring and the first electrode both comprise a same material.

4. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein one side of the routing wiring directly contacts an upper surface of the interlayer insulation layer in the wiring contact part, and

wherein another side of the routing wiring directly contacts an upper surface of the planarization layer in the bending area.

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

a first bank disposed between the planarization layer and the encapsulation layer to define an emission area in the display area; and

a second bank disposed on the routing wiring in the bending area,

wherein the encapsulation layer covers a side surface of the first bank adjacent to the wiring contact part.

6. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 5 , further comprising:

a first spacer disposed between the first bank and the encapsulation layer; and

a second spacer disposed on the second bank,

wherein the encapsulation layer covers a side surface of the first spacer adjacent to the wiring contact part.

7. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising:

a coating layer disposed on the second spacer.

8. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein a neutral surface of the bending area is disposed in the routing wiring.

9. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 8 , wherein a thickness of the coating layer is configured to adjust the neutral surface of the bending area to be centered on the routing wiring for reducing stress on the routing wiring.

10. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the coating layer directly contacts the encapsulation layer.

11. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the encapsulation layer completely fills the contact hole above the routing wiring.

12. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a lowermost surface of the planarization layer directly contacts an uppermost surface of the substrate in the bending area, and

wherein an uppermost surface of the planarization layer directly contacts a lower surface of the routing wiring in the bending area.

13. The organic light emitting display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the encapsulation layer fills a portion of the contact hole above the routing wiring and terminates before an edge of the bending area.
