Patent ID: 7675585

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a liquid crystal display panel having an upper substrate, a lower substrate and liquid crystals between the upper and lower substrates; an organic EL device provided under the lower substrate of the liquid crystal display panel to provide light to the liquid crystal display panel; and a cap having a plurality of protrusions on a surface opposing the organic EL device, wherein the plurality of protrusions are respectively bonded to a substrate of the organic EL device by a first adhesive agent and to a bottom of the lower substrate of the liquid crystal display panel by a second adhesive agent, and the substrate of the organic EL device is bonded to the lower substrate of the liquid crystal display panel by a third adhesive agent, wherein the plurality of protrusions project toward a bottom of the substrate of the organic EL device and the bottom of the lower substrate of the liquid crystal display panel, respectively, and are spaced apart from one another by one or more predetermined distances, and wherein one lateral face of a first one of the protrusions is located apart from one lateral face of a second one of the protrusions adjacent to the first one of the protrusions, wherein the first agent is located between the cap and a vicinity of an emitting area of the substrate of the organic EL device, the second agent is located between the cap and a vicinity of the third agent of the lower substrate of the liquid crystal display panel, and the third agent is located between the substrate of the organic EL device and the lower substrate of the liquid crystal display panel, the liquid crystal display further comprising: a getter, wherein at least the first one of the protrusions bonded to the substrate of the organic EL device by the first adhesive agent and at least the second one of the protrusions bonded to the bottom of the lower substrate of the liquid crystal display panel by the second adhesive agent are located on a same side of the getter, and wherein the first and second ones of the protrusions are spaced apart from one another by said one or more predetermined distances.
