Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the same elements has the same reference numerals for the sake of convenience in the following descriptions of embodiments.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view depicting an organic light emitting display panel in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, in which a display panel 1 comprises a deposition substrate 10, an encapsulation substrate 20 and an encapsulating material 30. The deposition substrate 10 is a substrate on which a plurality of pixels that are directed to organic light emitting diodes is arranged. Each of the organic light emitting diode is composed of an anode electrode, a cathode electrode and an organic layer disposed therebetween. Pixels form an image by receiving signals from a scanning drive unit and a data drive unit through scanning lines arranged in the column direction and data lines arranged in the row direction, and include a pad section receiving external signals. Moreover, in case of an active matrix type, circuit elements such as thin film transistors connected with scanning lines, data lines or electric voltage lines are further included on the deposition substrate 10.
The encapsulation substrate 20 is a substrate that encapsulates a pixel area, in which pixels are formed on the deposition substrate 10, on the top of the deposition substrate 10 to prevent the pixels formed on the deposition substrate 10 from being exposed to moisture or oxygen and thereby damaged. The encapsulation substrate 20 is made of a transparent material in cases of a top emission and a dual emission or made of an opaque material in case of a bottom emission. Although the present invention does not limit the material of the encapsulation substrate 20, it is desirable to apply glass, for example, in case of the top emission in accordance with this embodiment. The encapsulation substrate 20 is formed in a plate shape in this embodiment.
The encapsulating material 30 is used to adhere or seal the deposition substrate 10 and the encapsulation substrate 20. The encapsulating material 30 can be made of various materials such as inorganic or organic materials. The encapsulating material 30 is formed by surrounding the pixel array. As an inorganic encapsulating material, it is possible to use a frit, for example, for intercepting the infiltration of moisture and oxygen efficiently. The frit includes at least one selected from the group consisting of MgO, CaO, BaO, Li2O, Na2O, K2O, B2O3, V2O5, ZnO, TeO2, Al2O3, SiO2, PbO, SnO, P2O5, Ru2O, Rh2O, Rh2O, Fe2O3, CuO, TiO2, WO3, Bi2O3, and Sb22O3.
Meanwhile, the display panel is received in a bezel or backing frame 40 for reinforcing the strength of the display panel and assembled in a device which needs a display. That is, the bezel 40 is connected with an outer surface of the display panel to reinforce the display panel. Especially, if the encapsulating material is an inorganic such as frit, the display panel becomes very fragile to an external impact. Accordingly, the role of the bezel 40 becomes more important.
FIG. 2 a is a perspective view depicting a bezel in accordance with the embodiment of the present invention, in which the bezel 40 is shown comprising a lower surface or base plate 45 and three sidewalls 41, 42 and 43. The bezel 40 may be made of metal or plastic.
When the display panel is accommodated in the lower surface 45, the lower surface 45 faces the surface of the deposition substrate 10 of the display panel 1. The base plate 45 has concave-convex surfaces or elevated and non-elevated surfaces, of which a portion protrudes or elevated toward the display panel 1, thereby enhancing the impact resistance. Here, the concave-convex surface can be embodied inside the lower surface 45 in various ways. For example, as depicted in FIG. 2 b that is a sectional view taken along with a line of A-A′ line of FIG. 2 a, concaves 45 b and convexes 45 a are established in parallel by turns. The surface has a corrugated, waved or alternately arranged form. Moreover, as depicted in FIG. 2 c that is a sectional view depicting a lower surface of the bezel in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, concaves 45 b′ and convexes 45 a′ are provided inside the lower surface 45 by forming protrusions in the opposite direction to the surface where the display panel is received.
Furthermore, as depicted in FIG. 3 a, it is possible to form a bezel in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention including a concave-convex surface having convexes or elevated portions 45 a″ of a predetermined area formed on specific portions of the bottom thereof and protruding upward. Here, the shape of the convex 45 a″ may be rectangular, circular, or in any other forms. FIG. 3 b is a sectional view depicting a lower surface taken along with a line of A-A′ of FIG. 3 a. Reference numeral 45 b″ denotes a concave or non-elevated portion.
Referring back to FIG. 2 a, the sidewalls 41, 42 and 43 protrude in the direction that the display panel is mounted along with the edges of the lower surface 45. The sidewalls 41, 42 and 43 are directed to a first sidewall 41, a second sidewall 42 and a third sidewall 43 corresponding to the respective sidewalls of the display panel. The sidewalls 41, 42 and 43 may be formed on the lower surface 45 in various ways. For example, it is possible to form the sidewalls by connecting sidewalls manufactured separately with the lower surface of the bezel or by bending the edges of a plate to be included in the bezel. Here, it is not limited to the way in which the respective sidewalls are connected with each other and formed in a body; however, it is desirable that the respective sidewall be separated with each other.
Moreover, it is possible to form the sidewalls 41, 42 and 43 with at least one wall. For example, the sidewalls may be formed in a double-wall structure having an internal wall and an external wall. The sidewalls in the double-wall structure can be formed by bending the edges of the plate to be included in the bezel twice. That is, the edge of the plate to be completed as the bezel is first bent in the direction that the display panel is located and then bent again in the opposite direction to the first bending to be into contact with each other, thus forming a double-wall, and the middle portion not bent corresponds to the lower surface.
Here, the double-wall may be formed in various shapes as depicted in FIGS. 4 a to 4 f. As depicted in FIG. 4 a, the sidewall is bent twice to the outside and extends to the bottom. As depicted in FIG. 4 b, the sidewall is bent twice to the outside and extends to the middle of the height of the sidewall. As depicted in FIG. 4 c, the sidewall is bent twice to the inside and extends to the bottom. Moreover, as depicted in FIGS. 4 d to 4 f, the outer wall and the inner wall adhere closely to each other. The sidewall of the double-wall structure creates an effect that increases the second section moment in the bezel section, thus increasing the load value applied from the test conditions of 3-axix bending or 4-axix bending of the overall module to the breakage of the display panel.
Meanwhile, a sidewall is not formed on the bottom of the display panel for the purpose of the formation of a pad section 15; however, it is possible to form fourth sidewalls 44 and 44′ as depicted in FIGS. 5 a and 5 b to reinforce the strength more and more. Here, the fourth sidewall 44 is formed in a predetermined region that does not shut the pad portion 15 of the display panel to be received as shown in FIG. 5 a, or the fourth sidewall 44′ is provided on the whole region of the bottom of the display panel lower than the height of the pad section as depicted in FIG. 5 b. FIG. 6 is a perspective view illustrating the state where a display panel and a bezel are connected with each other in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The display panel is accommodated in the bezel, in which the surface of the deposition substrate of the display panel is faced with the lower surface of the bezel. Here, it is desirable that the connection between the display panel and the bezel be made with an adhesive tape or an adhesive agent of an organic material. In the structure according to the discussed embodiments, it is possible to enhance the impact resistance of the display panel sealed with an inorganic encapsulating material.
The respective sidewalls of the display panel in an embodiment correspond to a first sidewall 141, a second sidewall 142, a third sidewall 143 and a fourth sidewall 144′. The fourth sidewall 144′ is formed in a height that does not shut the pad section 114.
Meanwhile, Table 1 indicates the maximum stresses applied to the substrates during the drop tests of the display panels, in which the Comparative Example did not include a concave-convex surface on the bezel and the sidewalls 141, 142 and 143 were not formed in the double-wall structure, and the Embodiment included a concave-convex surface on the bezel and the sidewalls 41, 42 and 43 were formed in the double-wall structure.
Comparing the stress levels applied to the edges of the substrate in accordance with the test results (most cracks spread from the edges of the substrates to the insides, thus causing the breakages), in the Comparative Example, the maximum stress of 77.82 MPa occurred in the deposition substrate and the maximum stress of 147.57 MPa occurred in the encapsulation substrate, whereas, in the Embodiment, the maximum stress of 99.18 MPa occurred in the deposition substrate and the maximum stress of 79.50 MPa occurred in the encapsulation substrate. Here, the maximum values applied to the overall deposition substrates were 147.6 MPa in the Comparative Example and 99.18 MPa in the Embodiment, thus reducing about 32.7%. That is, in the Embodiment, the stress value of the deposition substrate was increased; however, the maximum stress applied all over the deposition substrate was decreased to a level of 100 MPa or less, thus bringing an effect of reducing the breakage of the panel. For example, supposed that the substrate is broken at a stress value of 100 MPa, the breakage will occur in the Comparative Example, whereas, it will not occur in the Embodiment as the maximum stresses of the deposition substrate and the encapsulation substrate are smaller than 100 MPa.
Moreover, Table 2 indicates the maximum stresses applied to the substrates during the drop tests of the display panels, in which the Comparative Example did not form the sidewalls of the bezel in the double-wall structure, and the Embodiment established the sidewalls of the bezel in the double-wall structure.
It can be seen from the results of Table 2 that the maximum stress occurring in the overall edges of the substrate was reduced 22.53% in the Embodiment.
As above, embodiments of the present invention have been described and illustrated, although not limited thereto. It should be understood that various modifications and variations of the present invention can be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and the scope of the present invention. For example, those modifications and variations may correspond to the depth, width and shape of the concave-convex portion of the lower surface of the bezel and the shape of the sidewalls. Thus, it is intended that the scope of the present invention covers such modifications and variations.
