A multi-display apparatus includes a thin film encapsulating structure to prevent moisture penetration through sides of the encapsulating structure. Each of a plurality of unit panels of the multi-display apparatus includes a substrate, a display device formed on the substrate, an organic material layer formed on the substrate to bury the display device, an inorganic material layer stacked on the organic material layer, and a moisture barrier wall that is formed outside the display device on the substrate and has a height greater than a thickness of the organic material layer. The multi-display apparatus having a thin film encapsulating structure can realize a stable, smooth, and large image screen since the thin film encapsulating structure can reduce a width of seams between the unit panels and can prevent moisture penetration.

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.

A foldable multi-display apparatus forms a large screen by connecting housings supporting display panels in a folding manner. In the foldable multi-display apparatus, the display panels are located below a hinge axis when the display panels are unfolded. Therefore, the display panels do not contact each other during rotation of the housings with respect to the hinge axis. In this configuration, the scratching of the display panels during unfolding operations can be prevented, thereby providing the foldable multi-display apparatus with increased reliability and lifespan.

An organic electroluminescent display ('OELD') includes an organic light-emitting diode ('OLED') panel and a driving panel. The OLED panel includes an image display portion which displays an image using an OLED, and the driving panel includes a driving circuit portion which controls the image display portion. The OLED panel and the driving panel are combined into one body to complete the OELD. The image display portion and the driving circuit portion are electrically connected through pads disposed between the OLED panel and the driving panel, and the OLED panel and the driving panel are fabricated using separate processes, thus preventing the driving panel from being damaged by heat generated in the fabrication process of the OLED panel.
