Abstract

An organic light emitting diodes display (OLEDD) includes means for implementing a capacitive touch position sensing panel and it (the OLEDD) is comprised of: a lower substrate; a driving element formed on the lower substrate; a first electrode connected to the driving element; an organic emission layer formed on the first electrode; a second electrode formed on the organic emission layer; a resistance lowering wire formed within the same layer as the first electrode and connected to the second electrode; an upper substrate disposed on the second electrode; and a plurality of Rx wires formed on the upper substrate and separated from each other, wherein the material of the second electrode is used to form a plurality of Tx wires separated from each other where the Tx and Rx wires define the capacitive touch position sensing panel.

Claims (34)

1. An organic light emitting diodes display (OLEDD) comprising:

a lower substrate;

a driving element formed on the lower substrate;

a first electrode formed in a first layer and connected to the driving element;

an organic emission layer formed on the first electrode;

a light-passing second electrode formed in a second layer and on the organic emission layer;

a resistance lowering wire formed in the same first layer as that of the first electrode and connected to the second electrode;

an upper substrate disposed on the second electrode;

a plurality of Rx wires formed on the upper substrate and separated from each other; and

a plurality of Tx wires formed on the lower substrate, in the same second layer as that of the second electrode and separated from each other, the Tx wires insulatively crossing with the Rx wires, at least one of the Tx wires forming a parallel resistances circuit in combination with the resistance lowering wire;

whereby a capacitive type touch panel is formed by the crossing pluralities of the Rx wires and the Tx wires.

2. The organic light emitting diodes display (OLEDD) of claim 1 , wherein

the resistance lowering wire extends overlappingly under the at least one Tx wire.

3. The organic light emitting diodes display (OLEDD) of claim 2 , wherein

the resistance lowering wire longitudinal extends in the same direction as the at least one Tx wire.

4. The organic light emitting diodes display (OLEDD) of claim 2 , further comprising:

a protective layer covering the driving element; and

a pixel definition layer covering the first electrode and the resistance lowering wire formed on the protective layer, and

wherein the resistance lowering wire is connected to the at least one Tx wire through a contact hole formed in the pixel definition layer.

5. The organic light emitting diodes display (OLEDD) of claim 2 , further comprising

a common voltage layer formed under the protective layer and transmitting a common voltage signal,

wherein the common voltage signal transmitted through the common voltage layer is coupled to the Tx wire by way of at least a portion of the resistance lowering wire.

6. The organic light emitting diodes display (OLEDD) of claim 2 , wherein

the first electrode is disposed between plural resistance lowering wires that are successively adjacent to each other.

7. The organic light emitting diodes display (OLEDD) of claim 2 , wherein

the driving element includes a switching thin film transistor and a driving thin film transistor.

8. The organic light emitting diodes display (OLEDD) of claim 2 , wherein:
