  • Patent number: 7876286
    Abstract: In a multi-display device, first and second panels, each of which has a display device, are stuck fast to each other to embody a screen. The first panel has an interface surface formed of a hard material, and the second panel has an interface surface formed of a soft material. Thus, the soft material is elastically compressed and transformed by the hard material so that the two panels are closely in contact with each other, and formation of air gaps is prevented at the joint between the panels. As a result, image cutting in a screen due to a luminance difference can be minimized so that an image can be naturally connected between the two panels.

  • Patent number: 7682851
    Abstract: An organic light emitting display and a manufacturing method thereof include an improved encapsulation layer. The encapsulation layer of the organic light emitting display includes an organic layer uniformly covering bank portions and light emitting areas on a substrate; and an inorganic layer formed thicker on the light emitting areas than on the bank portions. In the organic light emitting display, the inorganic layer is thick on the light emitting area in which a sealing ability is required and the bank portion is thin in order to provide flexibility. Therefore, the encapsulation layer can be formed more easily compared to an encapsulation layer on a device in which the organic layer and inorganic layer are alternately formed at least 10 times.

  • Patent number: 7609434
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for manufacturing an electrode of an electrochromic display. The method includes, prior to forming a porous nanoelectrode, forming a barrier rib for separating an electrolyte using a photosensitive paste as a material for the barrier rib, in which the photosensitive paste enables formation of patterns through a photolithographic process and maintains its shape at 450° C. to 500° C. The use of the electrode enables fabrication of an electrochromic display that is capable of preventing cross-talk between pixels and has advantages of fast response speed, prolonged lifespan upon repeated use and improved electrochromism, when compared to the case of metal oxide electrodes.
