Patent number: 10410580Abstract: The present invention overcomes image defects such as the brightness inclination or smears by reducing the line resistance of a power source bus line which supplies electricity to organic EL elements. A plurality of pixels which are arranged in a matrix array is connected to power source lines, and the plurality of power source lines are connected to a power source bus line. Both ends of the power source bus line are connected to a power source part via a FPC. By supplying electricity to both ends of the power source bus line from the power source part, the line resistance of the power source bus line can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2016Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Samsung Display Co., Ltd.Inventors: Naoki Tokuda, Hiroshi Kageyama, Masamitsu Furuie
