Abstract

An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display includes: a substrate including a plurality of organic light emitting elements; an adhesive member on at least a portion of an upper surface of the substrate; a flexible circuit board adhered to the upper surface of the adhesive member and having a portion bent to be mounted to a lower surface of the substrate; and a light blocking member at the upper surface of the substrate, wherein the light blocking member is laterally offset from the adhesive member.

Claims

1. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display comprising:

a substrate comprising a plurality of organic light emitting elements;

an adhesive member on at least a portion of an upper surface of the substrate;

a flexible circuit board adhered to the upper surface of the adhesive member and having a portion bent to be mounted to a lower surface of the substrate; and

a light blocking member at the upper surface of the substrate, wherein the light blocking member is laterally offset from the adhesive member, and wherein the flexible circuit board overlaps the light blocking member at the upper surface of the substrate.

2. The OLED display of claim 1, wherein

the light blocking member is separated from the adhesive member by a distance.

3. The OLED display of claim 2, wherein

the distance is in a range of 0.5 mm to 0.7 mm.

4. The OLED display of claim 1, wherein

a length of the adhesive member is in a range of 3.3 mm to 3.5 mm.

5. The OLED display of claim 1, wherein

the substrate comprises a display area and a non-display area,

the adhesive member is at the non-display area, and

the light blocking member is at the display area.

6. The OLED display of claim 1, wherein

the light blocking member comprises a black tape.

7. The OLED display of claim 1, wherein

the adhesive member comprises a double-sided adhesive tape comprising an adhesive on opposing sides of the double-sided adhesive tape.

8. The OLED display of claim 1, wherein

the light blocking member is at a surface opposite a surface where the plurality of organic light emitting elements of the substrate are configured to display an image.
