The flexible substrate 100 may be made of a plastic material having excellent heat resistance and durability such as polyethylene ether phthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polycarbonate, polyarylate, polyetherimide, polyether sulfone, and polyimide. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various flexible materials can be used.
Next, the auxiliary layer 101 is formed on the entire surface of the flexible substrate 100. The auxiliary layer 101 prevents impurity ions from diffusing on the upper surface of the flexible substrates 100 and 10, prevents penetration of moisture or outside air, and smoothes the surface. The auxiliary layer 101 may be formed by a variety of deposition methods such as SiO 2 or SiN x in a single layer or a multilayer.
Next, at least one thin film transistor (TFT), a capacitor (not shown), and wirings L are formed on the auxiliary layer 101. According to the present invention, various devices are simultaneously formed in the first display unit 110 and the second display unit 120. [ In addition, the lines L connecting the first display unit 110 and the second display unit 120 and the pad unit PA extended from the first display unit 110 are also formed.
The thin film transistor TFT includes an active layer 102 formed on an auxiliary layer 101, a gate electrode 104 formed in correspondence with a channel region of the active layer 102 with a gate insulating film 103 therebetween, a gate electrode 104, And source and drain electrodes 106s and 106d which are insulated with an interlayer insulating film 105 therebetween and contact the source region 102s and the drain region 102d of the active layer 102, respectively. (TFT) connected to the organic light emitting device OLED and driving the organic light emitting device OLED, with the thin film transistor TFT shown in FIG. Though not shown in the figure, various thin film transistors (TFT) such as a switching thin film transistor (TFT) turned on by a scan signal and a switching thin film transistor (TFT) turned on by receiving an emission control signal are formed on the display portion .
Although a top gate type TFT is shown in FIG. 4, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may include various types of thin film transistors (TFT) such as a bottom gate type . On the other hand, the number of thin film transistors (TFT) and the type of thin film transistor (TFT) are not limited and can be variously implemented. Although not shown, a capacitor (not shown) or the like may be formed when a thin film transistor (TFT) is formed.
Various wirings L may be formed of the same material in the same layer as the gate electrode 104 of the thin film transistor TFT. On the other hand, various wirings L can be formed of the same material in the same layer as the source electrode and the drain electrode 106s, 106d of the thin film transistor (TFT). Here, the wiring L means wirings for transmitting control signals such as a scan signal, an emission control signal and various clock signals, and wirings for transmitting data signals and video signals for driving the display unit. However, the contents of signals transmitted by the wirings are not limited thereto. The wiring lines L are directly connected or coupled to the thin film transistor TFT or the organic light emitting diode OLED. The wirings L electrically connect the first display unit 110 and the second display unit 120 and transmit various signals of the common driver 400. [ On the other hand, when forming the wiring lines L, a pad portion PA to be described later can also be formed. The pad unit PA is connected to the common driver 400 and receives various signals.
A passivation film 107 is formed so as to cover the thin film transistor TFT and the wiring lines L. [ The passivation film 107 may be formed of an organic insulating material or an inorganic insulating material, and may be formed as a single layer or a multilayer. The passivation film 107 protects the wirings L from the outside, and flattenes the top to allow the organic light emitting diode OLED to be formed on the top surface.
An organic light emitting device OLED is formed on the passivation film 107. The organic light emitting diode OLED is formed in the order of the pixel electrode 108, the intermediate layer 111, and the counter electrode 112. Since the embodiment of the present invention is a front emission type in which an image is realized in the direction of the sealing portion opposed to the flexible substrate 100, the pixel electrode 108 becomes a reflection electrode and the counter electrode 112 becomes a transparent or semi-transparent electrode .
The pixel electrode 108 includes a reflective electrode. The reflective electrode may include a metal having a small work function, for example, Ag, Mg, Al, Pt, Pd, Au, Ni, Nd, Ir, Cr, LiF / Ca, LiF / Al, or a compound thereof. On the upper surface of the pixel electrode 108, a pixel defining layer 109 covering the edge of the pixel electrode 108 and exposing a center portion is further formed. An intermediate layer 111 is formed at a portion where the pixel electrode 108 is exposed.
The intermediate layer 111 includes a common layer and a light emitting layer. The common layer includes a hole transport layer (HTL), a hole injection layer (HIL), an electron transport layer (ETL), and an electron injection layer (EIL) ) May be laminated in a single or composite structure. The light emitting layer is a layer that emits light of red, green, or blue. The light emitting layer may be formed of a low molecular weight or high molecular organic material. In the case where the light emitting layer is formed of a low molecular organic material, the intermediate layer 111 is formed by laminating a hole transport layer and a hole injection layer in the direction of the pixel electrode 108 with the organic light emitting layer as a center, Layer and the like are laminated. In addition, various layers can be stacked as needed. On the other hand, when the light emitting layer is formed of a polymer organic material, the intermediate layer 111 may include only the hole transporting layer in the direction of the pixel electrode 108 with the light emitting layer as the center. Since the material used for the intermediate layer 111 is already well known, detailed description thereof will be omitted.
Finally, the counter electrode 112 may be commonly formed on the entire surface of the display portion where the intermediate layer 111 is formed. Here, the pixel electrode 108 is used as an anode electrode, and the counter electrode 112 is used as a cathode electrode. Needless to say, the polarity of the electrode can of course be reversed.
A first sealing part 210 and a second sealing part 220 formed by thin film encapsulation are formed on the counter electrode 112 as sealing means for sealing the first display part 110 and the second display part 120 Respectively. The sealing portion has a structure in which an inorganic film and an organic film are alternately laminated. The inorganic film may be composed of a metal oxide, a metal nitride, a metal carbide and a compound thereof, for example, aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or the like. The inorganic film functions to inhibit external moisture and oxygen from penetrating the organic light emitting device OLED. The organic film may be a polymer organic compound, and may include any one of epoxy, acrylate and urethane acrylate. The organic film functions to mitigate the internal stress of the inorganic film, or to complement and planarize the defect of the inorganic film.
The flexible substrate 100 includes a first region A1 and a second region A2. The first area A1 is an area where the first display unit 110 is formed. The second area A2 is the area where the second display part 120 is formed. The first area A1 and the second area A2 are arranged on the same plane of the flexible substrate 100 and a bending area BA is defined between the first area A1 and the second area A2 . The bending region is a region where the flexible substrate 100 is folded.
Each of the first area A1 and the second area A2 includes a display area DA where an image is displayed and a first display part 110 and a second display part 120 are respectively formed and a display area DA outside the display area DA And a non-display area (NDA). A non-display area NDA of the first area A1 includes a scan driver electrically connected to the first display unit 110 to apply a scan signal to the first display unit 110, 1 display unit 110, and the like. A non-display area NDA of the second area A2 also includes a scan driver electrically connected to the second display unit 120 to apply a scan signal to the second display unit 120, 120 and an emission control driver (EM Driver) for applying an emission control signal to the video signal.
As described above, the scan driver and the emission control driver of the first area A1 and the scan driver and the emission control driver of the second area A2, And the wiring L of the bending area BA. Particularly, a pad portion PA is formed at the end of the wiring L extending from the scan driver and the emission control driver of the first area A1. The pad portion PA is electrically connected to the common driver 400 and the control signal applied from the common driver 400 through the pad portion PA is applied to the first region A1 and the second region And is transmitted to the scan drivers and the EM drivers of the area A2. On the other hand, a DeMUX for reducing the number of pads which are the output terminals of the wiring L may be disposed in a portion of the non-display area NDA of the first region A1 adjacent to the pad portion PA.
3 and 4, steps up to the step of forming the first display portion 110, the sealed second display portion 120, the various wirings L, and the pad portion PA sealed in the flexible substrate 100 saw.
Next, referring to FIG. 5, the pad portion PA and the common driver 400 are connected. The common driver 400 includes a FPCB member 420 including a chip on film (COF) member 410 formed integrally with a driver IC including a data driver, a power supply, a controller, and the like. The common driver 400 is electrically connected to the pad portion PA by an adhesive containing the conductive ball. However, the configuration of the common driver 400, the method of bonding with the pad unit PA, and the like are not limited to those described above, and may be variously implemented.
The first optical film 310 and the second optical film 320 are formed on the first sealing portion 210 and the second sealing portion 220, respectively. The first optical film 310 and the second optical film 320 may be polarizing films for preventing reflection of external light as described above. In addition, various optical films for improving color reproducibility and visibility may be further attached .
On the other hand, the order of the method of manufacturing the double-side display device is not limited to the above. For example, the process of attaching the optical film or connecting the pad unit PA and the common driver 400 may be performed simultaneously with or simultaneously with the process of forming the seal.
6, the bending area BA of the flexible substrate 100 is bent, and the flexible substrate 100 is folded so that one side of the flexible substrate 100 is opposed to the other side, thereby manufacturing a double-side display device. Here, the flexible substrate 100 that is in a folded state can be fixed by providing the bonding portion 500 on one surface of the facing flexible substrate 100.
The conventional two-sided display device is manufactured by attaching two first panels and a second panel, which are separate from each other, to each other on opposite sides to display an image. Since the conventional two-sided display device uses two separate panels, it is difficult to reduce the thickness and weight of the panel. Also, since the manufacturing process is complicated and the manufacturing process is complicated because it is manufactured through a process including the steps of providing the first panel and the second panel each having the driver IC and the FPCB separately, and attaching the first panel and the second panel, It is difficult to improve the yield, and the manufacturing cost is increased. Further, the first panel and the second panel must be attached flat. Therefore, in order to facilitate the process of attaching the first panel and the second panel, the thin film transistor (TFT) array substrate of each of the first panel and the second panel has a hard organic Or a quartz substrate. Accordingly, the conventional double-sided display device can not be manufactured as a flexible display device, resulting in low practicality.
However, in the two-sided display device according to the present invention, the first display unit 110 and the second display unit 120 are formed on one flexible substrate 100, and then the flexible substrates 100 100). Therefore, thickness and weight can be reduced. Since the first display portion 110 and the second display portion 120 are formed with the wiring lines L and the pad portions PA connecting together and the common driver 400 is used, There is an advantage of low cost. In addition, since the flexible substrate 100 and the thin film encapsulation are used, the flexible substrate 100 can be used as a flexible display device.
7 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a double-sided display device and its bending area BA according to another embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 7, the double-sided display device according to the second embodiment of the present invention differs from FIGS. 1 and 2 in that the first sealing portion 210 is extended to cover the wiring lines L formed in the bending area BA. Which is different from the previous embodiment shown in Fig. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and the second sealing portion 220 may be formed to cover the wiring L formed in the bending area BA. In addition, the same reference numerals as in Figs. 1 and 2 of the reference numerals in Fig. 7 denote the same components as those in the above-described embodiment. The same components are the same in function and operation, and a duplicate description will be omitted below.
The reason why the first sealing portion 210 or the second sealing portion 220 covers the wiring lines L is to protect the wiring lines L from the outside. In particular, since the wiring lines L of the bending area BA are highly likely to receive external friction or impact, additional protection members are required. The manufacturing method is advantageous in that it is unnecessary to add a separate processing step since the one side is extended to the bending area BA in the process of forming the first sealing part 210 or the second sealing part 220.
8 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a double-sided display device and its bending area BA according to another embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 8, the double-sided display device according to the third embodiment of the present invention is different from the previous embodiments in that a protective film is separately formed to cover the wirings L formed in the bending area BA. In addition, reference numerals in FIG. 8 denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 and 2 denote the same elements as those in the above-described embodiment. The same components are the same in function and operation, and a duplicate description will be omitted below.
The reason why the protective film covers the wiring lines L is to protect the wiring lines L from the outside. In particular, since the wiring lines L of the bending area BA are highly likely to receive external friction or impact, additional protection members are required. The passivation film 107 may be formed on the wiring lines L and then a separate protective film 115 may be formed on the passivation film 107 by vapor deposition or screen coating. The protective film 115 may be formed of an inorganic insulating material or an organic insulating material, and may be a single layer or a multilayer. The protective film 115 may be made of polyimide (PI), for example.
9, the double-sided display device according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention is a backlight type in which the first display portion 110 and the second display portion 120 implement an image in the direction of the flexible substrate 100 Which is different from the previous embodiments. Therefore, the folding direction of the flexible substrate 100 becomes different from that of the previous embodiments. In addition, reference numerals in FIG. 9 denoted by the same reference numerals as in FIGS. 1 and 2 denote the same components as those in the above-described embodiment. The same components are the same in function and operation, and a duplicate description will be omitted below.
Referring to FIG. 9, since the image is implemented in the direction of the flexible substrate 100, the flexible substrate 100 must be made of a transparent material. In addition, since the pixel electrode 108 is a bottom-emission type, the pixel electrode 108 is provided as a light-transmitting electrode and the counter electrode 112 is provided as a reflective electrode. In detail, the pixel electrode 108 is formed of a transparent film formed of ITO, IZO, ZnO, or In 2 O 3 having a high work function. The counter electrode 112 may be formed of Li, Ca, LiF / Ca, LiF / Al, Al, Mg, Ag or the like having a small work function.
3 and 4, the auxiliary layer 101 is formed on the flexible substrate 100, and the first region 101 is formed on one surface of the flexible substrate 100, The first display section 110 is formed on the first area A1 and the second display section 120 is formed on the second area A2 and the wirings L are formed on the bending area BA, (PA) are simultaneously formed. The first display portion 110 and the second display portion 120 are sealed with the first sealing portion 210 and the second sealing portion 220, respectively. Although not shown, various drivers may be formed on the first area A1 and the second area A2 similarly to FIG.
Referring to FIG. 10, a first optical film 310 and a second optical film 320 are formed on the other surface of the flexible substrate 100. In detail, the first display part 110 and the second display part 120 are back-illuminated, so that the first optical film 310 is formed on the other surface of the flexible substrate 100 at a portion corresponding to the first display part 110, The second optical film 320 is formed on a portion of the other surface of the flexible substrate 100 corresponding to the second display portion 120. [ The first optical film 310 and the second optical film 320 may be a polarizing film that prevents external light from being reflected in the user direction by the electrodes of the flexible substrate 100 or the display portion to prevent the contrast from being lowered. However, it is possible to attach various optical films for improving color reproducibility and visibility.
11, by bending the bending area BA of the flexible substrate 100 and folding the first sealing part 210 and the second sealing part 220 formed on one surface of the flexible substrate 100 to face each other, A double-sided display device is manufactured. Here, the flexible substrate 100 in a folded state can be fixed by providing a bonding portion 500 on the surfaces of the first sealing portion 210 and the second sealing portion 220 facing each other. 11 is an embodiment including a display unit of a backlight type, it can be confirmed that the folding direction of the flexible substrate 100 is opposite to that of the previous embodiments including the display unit of the front light emitting type.
