An organic light-emitting display device is one of flat display devices wherein an organic light-emitting layer is positioned between electrodes opposed to each other and voltage is then applied between the electrodes so that electrons injected from one electrode are coupled with a hole injected from the other electrode in the organic light-emitting layer, and by this coupling light-emitting molecules in the light-emitting layer are once excited and returned to a base state, thereby, light-emitting the emitted energy as light.

OLEDs can be generally grouped into two basic types dependent on the arrangement with which the stimulating electrical current is provided. FIG. 5A schematically illustrates an exploded view of a simplified structure of a passive matrix type OLED 1000. FIG. 5B schematically illustrates a simplified structure of an active matrix type OLED 1001. In both configurations, the OLED 1000, 1001 includes OLED pixels built over a substrate 1002, and the OLED pixels include an anode 1004, a cathode 1006 and an organic layer 1010. When an appropriate electrical current is applied to the anode 1004, electric current flows through the pixels and visible light is emitted from the organic layer.
Referring to FIG. 5B, the active matrix OLED (AMOLED) includes local driving circuits 1012 arranged between the substrate 1002 and an array of OLED pixels. An individual pixel of AMOLEDs is defined between the common cathode 1006 and an anode 1004, which is electrically isolated from other anodes. Each driving circuit 1012 is coupled with an anode 1004 of the OLED pixels and further coupled with a data line 1016 and a scan line 1018. In embodiments, the scan lines 1018 supply scan signals that select rows of the driving circuits, and the data lines 1016 supply data signals for particular driving circuits. The data signals and scan signals stimulate the local driving circuits 1012, which excite the anodes 1004 so as to emit light from their corresponding pixels.
One problem of the organic light-emitting display device is that the device can be deteriorated when moisture contacts organic materials constituting organic light-emitting elements. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing encapsulating structure that can prevent moisture from containing organic materials. In the illustrated structure, the organic light-emitting display device includes a substrate 1, an encapsulation substrate 2, an sealing member 3 and moisture absorbent 4. The substrate 1 includes at least one organic light-emitting diode (not shown), and the encapsulation substrate 2 is attached to the substrate 1 to oppose the organic light-emitting diode formed on the substrate 1.
In order to attach the substrate 1 to the encapsulation substrate 2, The sealing material 3 is applied along the edge of the substrate 1 and the encapsulation substrate 2, and the sealing material is cured using UV irradiation, etc. The moisture absorbent 4 is included within the encapsulation substrate 2 for removing them for capturing moisture and certain gases such as hydrogen, oxygen. Even in the illustrated device, however, the sealing material 3 may not completely prevent moisture or air entering into the enclosed space. Also, there may be cracks in the sealing material 3 and in the interfacial area where the sealing material 3 contacts the substrate for various reasons.
The organic light emitting display device has a gap between the top surface of the array and the inner surface of the top substrate. Generally, the size of the gap depends on the height of the seal interconnecting two substrates. A frit seal, among other forms of sealing, allows the gap size significantly smaller than others. For example, when using the frit seal, the gap size (the distance between the array and the second substrate) can be in the order of a few μm to several hundred μm. When the gap size is in this range, dark rings called Newton rings may be formed on the display surface due to optical interference created by light incident to the display surface. More specifically, when the gap size is about or less than 10 μm, the possibility of Newton rings may increase. Thus, in packaging an organic light emitting display device with the frit seal, the configuration for avoiding Newton rings can be a design factor.
FIG. 2 is a plan view of an organic light-emitting display device according to an embodiment of the present invention and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of an organic light-emitting display device taken along the A-A′ line of FIG. 2. According to this, an organic light-emitting display device comprises a bottom substrate 100, an encapsulation or top substrate 200, encapsulating or sealing member 150 and supplement material or structure 160. For the sake of convenience, the deposition substrate 101 refers to a base, on which circuits and layers are formed, and the substrate 100 refers to an unfinished product including the deposition substrate 101 and circuits and layers formed thereon, including an array of organic light emitting pixels.
The substrate 100, which is a plate including organic light-emitting diodes or pixels, comprises a pixel region 100 a in which at least one organic light-emitting configured of a first electrode 119, an organic layer 121 and a second electrode 122 is formed, and a non-pixel region 100 formed outside the pixel region 100 a. In the explanation of the following specification, the pixel region 100 a means a region in which a predetermined image is displayed by light emitted from the organic light-emitting diode, and the non-pixel region 100 b means all regions other than the pixel region 100 a on the substrate 100.
The pixel region 100 a includes a plurality of scan lines (S1 to Sm) arranged in a row direction and a plurality of data lines (D1 to Dm) arranged in a column direction, and a plurality of pixels receiving a signal from a driver integrated circuit 300,400 for driving the organic light-emitting diode are formed in the scan lines (S1 to Sm) and the data lines (D1 to Dm). Also, in the non-pixel region 100 b driver ICs 300 and 400 for driving the organic light-emitting diode; a scan supplying line 410 and a data supplying line 310 electrically connected to the scan lines (S1 to Sm) and the data lines (D1 to Dm) of the pixel region, respectively; and a power line (not shown), etc. are formed. The data driver 300, which can be mounted on the substrate 100 by being prepared in the form of a chip, is electrically connected to a second pad Pd of a pad part 500. Such a data driver 300 receives a signal from the second pad Pd through the data supplying line 310 and transmits the data signal to a plurality of data lines (D1,D2, . . . Dm). The scan driver 400 is formed to be adjacent to one side of the pixel region 100 a and is electrically connected to a first pad Ps of the pad part 500 through the scan supplying line 410. Such a scan driver 400 receives a signal from the first pad Ps through the scan supplying line 410 and supplies the scan signal to a plurality of scan lines (S1,S2, . . . Sn) in sequence. The pad part 500 supplies a driving power to the data driver 300 through the data supplying line 310 and supplies the driving power to the scan driver 400 through the scan supplying line 410.
Meanwhile, the drawings illustrate the case that the data driver 300, the scan driver 400 and the pad part 500 are not encapsulated since the encapsulating member 150 are applied along the outer of the pixel region 100 a, however, the present invention is not limited thereto and the encapsulating member 150 can be applied along the all outers of the data driver 300, the scan driver 400 and the pad part 500 according to designs. In this case, the size of the encapsulation substrate 200 will be also prepared in size capable of sealing all sides of the substrate 100. The organic light-emitting display device is illustrated to be driven in an active matrix approach in the present drawings, therefore, the structure thereof will be schematically explained.
A buffer layer 111 is formed on a base substrate 101, and the buffer layer 111 is made of insulating material such as silicon oxide SiO2 or silicon nitride Sinx, etc. The buffer layer 111 is formed to prevent the substrate 100 from damaging due to factors such as heat from outside, etc. On at least any one region of the buffer layer 111 a semiconductor layer 112 comprising an active layer 112 a and an ohmic contact layer 112 b is formed. On the semiconductor layer 112 and the buffer layer 111 a gate insulating layer 113 is formed, and on one region of the gate insulating layer 113 a gate electrode 114 having the size corresponding to the width of the active layer 112 is formed. An interlayer insulating layer 115 is formed on the gate insulating layer 113 including the gate electrode 114, and source and drain electrodes 116 a, 116 b are formed on a predetermined region on the interlayer insulating layer 115.
The source and drain electrodes 116 a, 116 b are formed to connect to one region in which the ohmic contact layer 112 b is exposed, respectively, and a planarization layer 117 is formed on the interlayer insulating layer 115 including the source and drain electrodes 116 a, 116 b. On one region of the planarization layer 117 a first electrode 119 is formed and at this time, the first electrode 119 is connected to one region exposed to any one of source and drain electrodes 116 a, 116 b by means of a via hole 118. On the planarization layer 117 including the first electrode 119 a pixel defined film 120 having an opening part (not shown) exposing at least one region of the first electrode 119 is formed. On the opening part of the pixel defined film 120 an organic layer 121 is formed, and on the pixel defined film 120 including the organic layer 121 a second electrode layer 122 is formed and at this time, a passivation layer can be further formed on the upper part of the second electrode layer 122. Merely, the active type matrix structure or the passive matrix structure of the organic light-emitting diode can variously be modified and the respective general structures have been well known, and therefore, the detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.
The encapsulation or top substrate 200, which is attached to the substrate 100 for encapsulating the organic light-emitting diodes formed on the substrate 100, can be made of transparent material in the case of front side light-emitting type or both sides light-emitting type of the OLED device, and be made of opaque material in the case of rear side light-emitting type of the OLED device. Although not limited thereto, in an embodiment, glass can be used in the case of the front side light-emitting type. The encapsulation substrate 200 is configured as a plate-type in an embodiment, and the encapsulation substrate 200 seals the region including the pixel region 100 a in which the organic light-emitting diode of the substrate is formed.
The sealing material or member 150, which is formed in the space or gap between the encapsulation substrate 200 and the non-pixel region 100 b of the substrate 100, encapsulates the pixel region 100 a so that air or moisture cannot move into, and, in an embodiment, forms a line spaced from an edge of the side. This provides a space to form second sealing member 160 to be described later.
In some embodiments, the encapsulating member 150 comprises a first frit layer 150 a and a second frit layer 150 b integrated with the first frit layer 150 a. The second frit layer 150 b melts substantially easier than the first frit layer 150 a upon irradiation of a laser or infrared beam thereto. In one embodiment, when all other conditions are the same, the composition of materials forming the second frit layer 150 b is to melt quicker than the composition of materials forming the first frit layer 150 a. For example, the time required to start the second frit layer 150 b to melt is about 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80 or 90% of the time required to start the first frit layer 150 a to melt. In another embodiment, when all other conditions are the same, the composition of materials forming the second frit layer 150 b is to melt at a less powerful beam than the composition of materials forming the first frit layer 150 a. For example, the energy of the laser or infrared beam required to start the second frit layer 150 b to melt is about 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80 or 90% of the energy of the beam required to start the first frit layer 150 a to melt when applied for the same period of time. In an embodiment, the first frit layer 150 a may be transparent and the second frit layer 150 b may be opaque. The first frit layer 150 a, which is transparent, for example, made of silicon oxide SiO2, functions as a spacer for controlling the gap or space between the substrate 100 and the encapsulation substrate 200 and accordingly, keeps the gap distance between the substrate 100 and the encapsulation substrate 200 constant, thereby, preventing the generation of a Newton's ring phenomenon. The Newton's ring phenomenon is a phenomenon that the pattern of a concentric circle from a contact point of the substrate may be formed due to an optical interference phenomenon and such a pattern of a concentric circle may be displayed on a display surface. When the space between the substrate 100 and the encapsulation substrate 200 becomes narrow in the organic light-emitting display device, the light reflected in the respective substrate 100 and the encapsulation substrate 200 causes the interference phenomenon, generating the Newton's ring phenomenon. In one embodiment, the first frit layer 150 a prevents a generation of the Newton's ring phenomenon by providing the gap distance between the substrate 100 and the encapsulation substrate 200 greater than a certain gap distance which may generate Newton's ring.
The second frit layer 150 b, comprising absorbent capable of absorbing energy of laser or infrared rays, melts between the encapsulation substrate 200 and the substrate 100 by absorbing the irradiated energy, bonding the encapsulation substrate 200 to the substrate 100. That is, when laser or infrared rays are irradiated to the encapsulating member 150, the transparent first frit layer 150 a allows the laser or the infrared rays to pass through and the second frit layer 150 b melts and cured by using the irradiation of the laser or the infrared rays, thereby encapsulating the space between the substrate 100 and the encapsulation substrate 200.
In the illustrated embodiment, the reason why the encapsulating member 150 is configured of a double layer as above is to improve efficiency of the irradiation of laser of infrared rays. In certain embodiments, the height H1 of the first frit layer 150 a is from about 5 μm to about 100 μm, and height H2 of the second frit layer 150 b is from about 3 μm to about 5 μm, although not limited thereto. In an embodiment, it is that the width W2 of the second frit layer is formed to be smaller than the width W1 of the first frit layer. In an embodiment, the width W1 of the first frit layer is from about 0.5 mm to about 1.5 mm. Meanwhile, in one embodiment, the region on the substrate on which the encapsulating member 150 is formed is not overlapped with metal wiring. Since the encapsulating member 150 is irradiated with laser or infrared rays as described above, the metal wiring may be damaged when the encapsulating member 150 is overlapped with the metal wiring.
The supplementary material or structure 160, which is formed on the outer side, the inner side, or the both sides of the encapsulating member 150, prevents the organic light-emitting display device from easily breaking, in particular, when all the substrate 100, the encapsulation substrate 200 and the encapsulating member 150 are glass. The supplement material serves as an additional sealing member, in particular, when the encapsulating member 150 is damaged by being melted and its adhesion is weaken. The supplement material 160 can be apart from the encapsulating member 150 at a predetermined interval or contact to the encapsulating member 150. As material of the supplement material 160, resins which are naturally cured, thermally cured or UV cured by being applied in liquid state, can be used. For example, acrylate cyanide as material to be naturally cured, acrylate as material to be thermally cured at a temperature less than 80° C. and epoxy, acrylate and urethane acrylate as material to be UV cured can be used. Although the width of the supplement material is associated with the width of the encapsulating member, and in an embodiment, it is from about 0.3 mm to about 0.7 mm as described above.
Hereinafter, a method of packaging the organic light-emitting display device according to an embodiment will be explained. FIG. 4 a to FIG. 4 e are views for illustrating steps of the process of making the organic light-emitting display device. The first frit layer 150 a of transparent material is formed on one region of the encapsulation substrate 200. The first frit layer 150 a can be applied with a dispenser or a screen printing method. (FIG. 4 a) Next, the first frit layer 150 a is baked at a predetermined temperature. In one embodiment, the temperature for baking the first frit layer 150 a is from about 450° C. to about 600° C. After baking process of the first frit layer 150 a, the interfaces of the encapsulation substrate 200 and the first frit layer 150 a are bonded. (FIG. 4 b)
Next, the second frit layer 150 b of opaque material is applied to one region on the first frit layer 150 a. In certain embodiments, the width of the second frit layer 150 b can be identical or narrower than that of the first frit layer 150 a. The second frit layer 150 b can be applied in the same manner as in the first frit layer. (FIG. 4 c) Next, the second frit layer 150 b is baked at a predetermined temperature. In one embodiment, the second frit layer 150 b may be baked in the same range of temperature with the baking of the first frit layer 150 a. After baking process, the first frit layer 150 a, the encapsulation substrate 200 and the second frit layer 150 b are integrated. (FIG. 4 d)
Next, the supplement material is applied to the substrate 200 at the inner side or the outer side, or to the both sides.
