Abstract
A flat panel display device to protect a display unit against an external shock. The flat panel display device includes a base substrate on which a display unit is formed, an encapsulation substrate combined to the base substrate to cover the display unit, and a metal sheet disposed in a space between the base substrate and the encapsulation substrate and adhered to the base substrate and the encapsulation substrate without a gap. The flat panel display device having such a structure is able to suppress an external shock from being directly transmitted to the display unit, thereby preventing the display unit, which is a key element, from being damaged by the external shock.

A flat panel display device, comprising:
- a base substrate on which a display unit is formed;
- an encapsulation substrate combined to the base substrate to cover the display unit;
- a sheet having a metal thin plate and a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film adhered to the metal thin plate disposed in a space between the base substrate and the encapsulation substrate and the metal thin plate adhered to the base substrate and the PET film adhered to the encapsulation substrate with no gap between the metal thin plate and the base substrate and no gap between the PET film and the encapsulation substrate;
- a liquefied getter for moisture absorption between the sheet and the base substrate;
- and
- an adhesive film is disposed between the sheet and the encapsulation substrate and between the sheet and the base substrate.
A flat panel display device, comprising:
- a base substrate;
- a display unit directly affixed to the base substrate;
- an adhesive film in direct contact with and entirely covering the display unit;
- a sheet having a metal thin plate composed of aluminum and a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film affixed to one surface of the metal thin plate using an adhesive layer to attach the PET film to the metal thin plate, said sheet firmly affixed to the base substrate;
- a liquefied getter for moisture absorption between the sheet and the base substrate;
- an encapsulation substrate affixed to the base substrate and entirely covering the PET film;
- and
- an adhesive film is disposed between the sheet and the encapsulation substrate and between the sheet and the base substrate,
- wherein no gaps or voids exist between the encapsulation substrate and the PET film, the metal thin plate, and the adhesive film and the display unit.
