Abstract
In an aspect, an organic light-emitting display apparatus is provided, including a display substrate; a sealing substrate configured to face the display substrate; a sealing material for bonding the display substrate and the sealing substrate and surrounding a circumference of the display unit; and a bonding layer comprising a plurality of through holes, wherein the plurality of through holes comprise partition walls therein.
Claims19
An organic light-emitting display device, comprising:
- a display substrate comprising a first surface;
- a sealing substrate comprising a second surface facing the first surface of the display substrate;
- a display unit between the first surface of the display substrate and the second surface of the sealing substrate, wherein the display unit comprises a plurality of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and a plurality of thin-film transistors (TFTs) each electrically connected to a corresponding one of the OLEDs, wherein the plurality of OLEDs defines a display area;
- a sealing material disposed between the display substrate and the sealing substrate, and surrounding the display area;
- and
- an insulating layer comprising a plurality of through holes disposed in a region corresponding to the sealing material, wherein a partition wall is disposed within each of the plurality of through holes such that each of the plurality of through holes is divided into a plurality of sub-through holes, wherein each partition wall comprises a first sub-partition wall and a second sub-partition wall that comprise an insulating material and intersect with each other to form an intersection point when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the first surface of the display substrate, wherein a first intersection point of the partition wall in a first through hole and a second intersection point of the partition wall in a second through hole are arranged along a direction from an edge of the display substrate to the display area when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the first surface of the display substrate.
An organic light-emitting display device comprising a display unit and a sealing unit surrounding the display unit, wherein the sealing unit comprises:
- a display substrate;
- an insulating layer on the display substrate;
- a plurality of through holes disposed in a region surrounding the display unit, each of the plurality of through holes comprising a partition wall therein, each of the plurality of through holes is divided into a plurality of sub-through holes by the partition wall, wherein a first distance between neighboring ones of the plurality of through holes is greater than a second distance between neighboring ones of the sub-through holes of each through hole when viewed in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the display substrate, and wherein each partition wall comprises a first sub-partition wall and a second sub-partition wall that comprise an insulating material and intersect with each other to form an intersection point, and wherein a first intersection point of the partition wall in a first through hole and a second intersection point of the partition wall in a second through hole are arranged along a direction from an edge of the display substrate to the display unit when viewed in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the display substrate;
- and
- a sealing material overlapping at least a part of the plurality of through holes.
