Abstract
A display device includes a TFT-OLED (thin-film transistor—organic light emitting diode) array formed on a substrate and a signal line directly coupled to the substrate and a power line separately coupled to a frame that is joined to the substrate. The signal line is formed on a surface of a circuit board that is joined to the surface of the substrate including the TFT-OLED array, through an anisotropic conductive film. The power line is an electrical cable joined to the frame. When the frame is coupled to the substrate to form the display device, the signal line is peripherally disposed from the OLED power line. The display device can advantageously include a TFT-OLED array of increased dimension because the separately connected OLED power line can accommodate high currents needed for large TFT-OLED arrays without damaging the signal line or the anisotropic conductive film.
