The magnet is used to combine an organic light emitting display panel with a support means which is used to support the organic light emitting display panel and includes an upper cover, the bottom cover and a side cover. A sealing member included in the organic light emitting display panel is fastened to the bottom cover by a magnetic force of the magnet. As such, it is easy to separate the organic light emitting display panel and the support means from each other when a fault is generated in any component. In accordance therewith, the manufacturing process can be simplified and the faulty component can be easily replaced with a normal component. As a result, the manufacturing costs of the organic light emitting display device can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2013Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: LG Display Co., Ltd.Inventor: Gi Hyon Jung
