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 a first surface of the substrate;

a flexible circuit board having a first end coupled to a second surface of the substrate; and

a light blocking member at the first surface of the substrate, wherein the light blocking member is laterally offset from the adhesive member,

wherein the flexible circuit board contacts the adhesive member on the first surface of the substrate, and

the flexible circuit board overlaps the light blocking member and the adhesive member when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the first surface of the substrate.

2. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 1, further comprising a driving IC coupled to the first end of the flexible circuit board.

3. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 2, wherein the driving IC is between the flexible circuit board and the substrate.

4. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 2, wherein the driving IC is below the first end of the flexible circuit board.

5. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 1, further comprising a driving IC coupled to a second end of the flexible circuit board.

6. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 5, wherein the driving IC and the light blocking member face each other.

7. The OLED display of claim 1, wherein

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

8. The OLED display of claim 7, wherein

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

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 1, wherein the light blocking member comprises a light blocking material.

12. The organic light emitting diode (OLED) display of claim 11, wherein the light blocking member is formed by coating the light blocking material to the first surface of the substrate.

13. The OLED display of claim 1, wherein

the light blocking member comprises a black tape.

14. 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.

15. 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.
