Abstract

An organic light emitting display device is disclosed, which enhances an adhesion between a substrate and a routing line and minimizes a crack of the routing line. The organic light emitting display device comprises a substrate having a display area and a bending area; a routing line arranged on the bending area of the substrate; and a lower layer formed between the substrate and the routing line.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An organic light emitting display device comprising:
a substrate having a display area and a bending area;
a routing line arranged on the bending area of the substrate, the routing line having a length along a first direction and a width along a second direction that is different from the first direction, wherein the routing line is separated from another routing line in the second direction; and
a lower layer formed between the substrate and the routing line, the lower layer having a length along the first direction and a width along the second direction, wherein the width of the lower layer in the second direction is less than the width of the routing line in the second direction,
wherein the lower layer has a front surface overlapped with a rear surface of the routing line.

2. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 1 , wherein the lower layer includes an inorganic insulating material.

3. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a pixel array layer provided on the display area of the substrate,
wherein the pixel array layer includes:
a thin film transistor for controlling a data current flowing to a light emitting diode;
a first planarization layer for covering the thin film transistor;
a light emitting diode layer provided on the first planarization layer and connected to the thin film transistor; and
an encapsulation layer for covering the light emitting diode layer.

4. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 3 , further comprising a second planarization layer for covering a side surface of the lower layer and the routing line, wherein the first planarization layer and the second planarization layer are formed of a same material.

5. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 4 , wherein the second planarization layer is directly in contact with the substrate.

6. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 4 , further comprising a micro-coating layer provided on the second planarization layer in the bending area without extending to the display area.

7. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 6 , wherein a neutral plane of the bending area is arranged on the routing line.

8. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 6 , wherein a neutral plane of the bending area is arranged in the routing line.

9. The organic light emitting display device according to claim 7 , wherein the routing line includes:
a first metal on the substrate;
a second metal on the first metal; and
a third metal on the second metal,
wherein the neutral plane is arranged on or in the second metal.
