Patent ID: 8405119

Claim:
An organic light emitting diode (OLED) lighting apparatus, comprising: a substrate main body including a light emitting area and a sealing area surrounding the light emitting area; an organic light emitting diode (OLED) disposed on the light emitting area of the substrate main body; a sealant disposed on the sealing area of the substrate main body; an encapsulation substrate encapsulating the OLED, wherein the encapsulation substrate comprises first and second surfaces opposing each other, and wherein the first surface is closer to the substrate main body than the second surface; and a heat dissipating wire configured to dissipate heat generated by the OLED, wherein the heat dissipating wire includes i) a heat absorption portion disposed on the first surface of the encapsulation substrate and contacting the sealant, ii) a heat dissipating portion disposed on the second surface, and iii) a coupling portion interconnecting the absorption portion and the heat dissipating portion.
