In addition, the organic light emitting display device is capable of being driven by a DC low voltage, has a high response speed, and is particularly advantageous in manufacturing cost.

The organic light emitting display device includes a display panel including a display area where pixels for displaying an image are formed and a non-display area that is a periphery of the display area. Each of the pixels is divided by a bank and includes an anode electrode, a hole transporting layer, an organic light emitting layer, an electron transporting layer, and a cathode electrode. In this case, when a high potential voltage is applied to the anode electrode and a low potential voltage is applied to the cathode electrode, holes and electrons move to the organic light emitting layer through the hole transporting layer and the electron transporting layer, respectively.

The low resistance cathode auxiliary line refers to an auxiliary line connected to the cathode electrode for lowering the voltage of the cathode electrode. Since the lines such as the insulator-type touch lines and the low-resistance cathode auxiliary line are formed of opaque metal, it is preferable to arrange them corresponding to the banks since the aperture ratio may be lowered when overlapping with the pixels. However, in the case of a high-resolution organic light emitting display, since the width of the bank is very narrow, it is difficult to finely pattern the lines such as the insensitive-type touch lines and the low-resistance cathode auxiliary line so as to correspond to the banks.

The embodiment of the present invention can form the first and second touch lines by applying a predetermined voltage to the EHD voltage applying line and using the EHD printing method. As a result, even when the organic light emitting display device displays an image at a high resolution such as UHD (ultra high definition, 3840x2160), the first and second touch lines are overlapped with the fine pattern metal line Can be formed.

Embodiments of the present invention may also form first and second touch lines within the encapsulation film or on the encapsulation film. As a result, according to the embodiment of the present invention, a part of the sealing film can be used as an insulating film for insulating the first touch lines and the second touch lines. Therefore, mutual capacitance between the first touch lines and the second touch lines capacitance can be formed.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a view illustrating an organic light emitting display according to an embodiment of the present invention. 1, the OLED display 100 includes a display panel 110, a gate driver 120, a source driver IC 130 A flexible film 140, a circuit board 150, and a timing control unit 160. [

The display panel 110 includes a lower substrate 111 and an upper substrate 112. The upper substrate 112 may be an encapsulating substrate. The lower substrate 111 may be formed to be larger than the upper substrate 112 so that a part of the lower substrate 111 can be exposed without being covered by the upper substrate 112.

In the display area DA of the display panel 110, gate lines, data lines, and light emitting areas are formed. The light emitting regions are formed in the intersecting regions of the gate lines and the data lines. The light emitting areas of the display area DA display an image. A detailed description of the display area DA will be given later in conjunction with FIG. 2 and FIG.

The gate driver 120 supplies the gate signals to the gate lines according to the gate control signal input from the timing controller 160. The gate driver 120 may be formed in a gate driver in panel (GIP) manner outside the first side of the display area DA of the display panel 110 or may be mounted on a flexible film, Or may be attached to the outside of the first side of the display area DA of the display panel 110. [

The source driver IC 130 receives the digital video data and the source control signal from the timing controller 160. The source driver IC 130 converts the digital video data into analog data voltages according to the source control signal and supplies the analog data voltages to the data lines. When the source drive IC 130 is fabricated from a driving chip, the source drive IC 130 may be mounted on the flexible film 140 using a chip on film (COF) method or a chip on plastic (COP) method.

Since the size of the lower substrate 111 is larger than that of the upper substrate 112, a part of the lower substrate 111 can be exposed without being covered by the upper substrate 112. Pads such as data pads are formed on a part of the lower substrate 111 that is not covered by the upper substrate 112 but is exposed. Wires connecting the pads and the source drive IC 130 and wirings connecting the pads and the wirings of the circuit board 150 may be formed in the flexible film 140. The flexible film 140 is adhered to the pads using an anisotropic conducting film, whereby the pads and the wirings of the flexible film 140 can be connected.

The circuit board 150 may be attached to the flexible films 140. The circuit board 150 may be implemented with a plurality of circuits implemented with driving chips. For example, the timing control unit 160 may be mounted on the circuit board 150. [ The circuit board 150 may be a printed circuit board or a flexible printed circuit board.

The timing controller 160 receives digital video data and a timing signal from an external system board through a cable of the circuit board 150. The timing controller 60 generates a gate control signal for controlling the operation timing of the gate driver 120 and a source control signal for controlling the source driver ICs 130 based on the timing signal. The timing controller 60 supplies a gate control signal to the gate driver 120 and a source control signal to the source driver ICs 30. [

Meanwhile, the OLED display according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be implemented by an in-cell touch method including first touch lines and second touch lines. Therefore, the first touch lines and the second touch lines may be additionally formed in the display area DA of the display panel 110. [ The first touch lines and the second touch lines may be formed to intersect with each other. The first touch lines may be Tx lines and the second touch lines may be Rx lines.

The touch driver 170 supplies touch driving signals to the first touch lines according to the touch control signal input from the touch controller. The touch driver 170 may be formed as a driving chip and mounted on a flexible film and may be attached to the outside of the second side of the display area DA of the display panel 110 in a TAB manner. The second side of the display area DA may be the opposite side facing the first side.

The source driver IC 130 may include a touch sensing unit sensing a capacitance change between the first touch lines and the second touch lines. The touch sensing unit converts the capacitance change value sensed through the second touch lines into touch row data, which is digital data, and supplies the touch row data to the touch control unit. The touch control unit calculates the touch coordinates using the touch row data. The touch control unit may be included in the timing controller 130, or may be mounted on the circuit board 150 separately from the timing controller 130.

FIG. 2 is an exemplary view illustrating light emitting regions, first touch lines, and second touch lines of a display region according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. In FIG. 2, the first touch lines TL are Tx lines and the second touch lines RL are Rx lines. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

Referring to FIG. 2, the light emitting regions include a red light emitting region RE, a green light emitting region GE, and a blue light emitting region BE. The red light emitting region RE, the green light emitting region GE, and the blue light emitting region BE function as one pixel. The light emitting regions may further include a white light emitting region as well as a red light emitting region RE, a green light emitting region GE, and a blue light emitting region BE. In this case, (GE), the blue light emitting region BE, and the white light emitting region can function as one pixel.

The light emitting regions RE, GE, and BE are partitioned by the banks. That is, the banks are arranged between the light emitting regions RE, GE, and BE.

The first touch lines (TL) and the second touch lines (RL) are formed to cross each other. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the first touch lines TL may be formed in the x-axis direction, and the second touch lines RL may be formed in the y-axis direction. The x-axis direction may be a direction parallel to the gate line, and the y-axis direction may be a direction parallel to the data line.

The first touch lines (TL) and the second touch lines (RL) are formed on the banks, and may be arranged to overlap with the banks. Hereinafter, the formation positions of the first touch lines TL and the second touch lines RL according to the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. FIG.

3 is a cross-sectional view showing one example of I-I 'and II-II' of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 3, thin film transistors are formed on the lower substrate 111. In FIG. 3, the thin film transistors 210 are formed in a top gate manner in which the gate electrode is located on the top of the semiconductor layer. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, the thin film transistors 210 are formed by a bottom gate method in which a gate electrode is located below a semiconductor layer, or a double gate method in which a gate electrode is located at both the top and bottom of a semiconductor layer . Each of the thin film transistors 210 includes a semiconductor layer 211, a gate electrode 212, a source electrode 213 and a drain electrode 214 as shown in FIG.

On the lower substrate 111, semiconductor layers 211 are formed. A buffer layer (not shown) may be formed between the lower substrate 111 and the semiconductor layers 211. An interlayer insulating layer 220 may be formed on the semiconductor layers 211. Gate electrodes 212 may be formed on the interlayer insulating layer 220. A gate insulating layer 230 may be formed on the gate electrodes 212. Source electrodes 213 and drain electrodes 214 may be formed on the gate insulating layer 230. Each of the source electrodes 213 and the drain electrodes 214 may be connected to the semiconductor layer 211 through a contact hole penetrating the interlayer insulating layer 220 and the gate insulating layer 230.

A planarization layer 240 may be formed on the source electrodes 213 and the drain electrodes 214. The planarizing film 240 is a film for arranging the pixels partitioned by the banks 255 in a flat manner. The planarization layer 240 may be formed of a resin such as photo acryl and polyimide.

An anode electrode 251 and an EHD voltage applying line 252 are formed on the planarization film 240. [ Each of the anode electrodes 251 is connected to the drain electrode 214 through a contact hole passing through the planarization layer 240. The EHD voltage application line 252 is formed between the anode electrodes 251. The anode electrodes 251 and the EHD voltage applying line 252 may be formed of the same material.

When the first touch lines TL and the second touch lines RL are formed by an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing method, the first touch lines TL and the second touch lines RL The EHD voltage applying line 252 may be supplied with a ground voltage or a negative voltage so as to be formed at a precise position in the fine pattern. That is, the EHD voltage application line 252 applies a voltage only during the manufacturing process of forming the first touch lines TL and the second touch lines RL, and after the completion of the display panel 110, . A detailed description thereof will be given later with reference to FIG.

On the other hand, the EHD voltage applying line 252 may be formed on the same layer as the anode electrode 251 or on another layer disposed on the anode electrode 251. [ For example, an EHD voltage application line 252 may be formed on the bank 255 or formed on the cathode electrode 254. [ When the EHD voltage application line 252 is formed on the same layer as the anode electrode 251, there is an advantage that an EHD voltage application line can be formed without any additional process.

The bank 255 is formed so as to cover the edge of each of the EHD voltage application line 252 and the anode electrode 251.

An organic light emitting layer 253 is formed on the anode electrodes 251 and the banks 255. Each of the organic light emitting layers 253 may include a hole transporting layer, a light emitting layer, and an electron transporting layer. In this case, when a voltage is applied to the anode electrode 251 and the cathode electrode 254, holes and electrons move to the light emitting layer through the hole transporting layer and the electron transporting layer, respectively.

The organic light emitting layer 253 may include only a white light emitting layer that emits white light. In this case, the white light emitting layer may be formed on the entire surface of the display area DA. Alternatively, the organic light emitting layer 253 may include a red light emitting layer for emitting red light, a green light emitting layer for emitting green light, and a blue light emitting layer for emitting blue light. In this case, the red light emitting layer may include only red light emitting regions RE The green light emitting layer is formed only in the green light emitting regions GE, and the blue light emitting layer is formed only in the blue light emitting regions BE.

The cathode electrode 254 is formed on the organic light emitting layers 253 and the banks 255 so as to cover the organic light emitting layers 253 and the banks 255. [

The organic light emitting display may be implemented by a top emission method or a bottom emission method. In the upper emission type, since the light emitted from the organic emission layer 253 emits light toward the upper substrate 112, the thin film transistors 210 may be provided under the banks 255 and the anode electrodes 251. That is, the upper light emitting method has an advantage that the thin film transistors 210 have a wider design area than the lower light emitting method.

In order to obtain a micro cavity effect in the upper emission type, it is preferable that the anode electrodes 251 are formed of a metal material having a high reflectance such as aluminum and a laminated structure of aluminum and ITO. Further, in the upper emission type, the cathode electrode 150 may be formed of a transparent metal material such as ITO or IZO, or may be formed of a semitransparent metal material such as magnesium, silver, or an alloy of magnesium and silver.

A sealing film 260 is provided on the cathode electrode 254. The sealing film 260 serves to prevent penetration of oxygen or moisture into the organic light emitting layer 253. For this purpose, the sealing film 260 may include a first inorganic film 261, an organic film 262, and a second inorganic film 263.

The first inorganic film 261 is formed on the cathode electrode 254 so as to cover the cathode electrode 254. The organic film 262 is formed on the first inorganic film 261 to prevent the particles from penetrating the first inorganic film 261 and entering the organic light emitting layer 253 and the cathode electrode 254 . The second inorganic film 263 is formed on the organic film 262 so as to cover the organic film 262.

Each of the first and second inorganic films 261 and 263 may be formed of silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, zirconium nitride, titanium nitride, hafnium nitride, tantalum nitride, silicon oxide, aluminum oxide or titanium oxide. For example, each of the first and second inorganic films 261 and 263 may be formed of SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , SiON, or SiNx. The organic layer 262 is preferably formed to be transparent so as to allow light emitted from the organic light emitting layer 253 to pass therethrough.

The first touch lines TL may be formed on the first inorganic film 261 and the second touch lines RL may be formed on the second inorganic film 263. [ In this case, the first and second touch lines TL and RL can be insulated by the organic film 263 and the second inorganic film 263, so that the first and second touch lines TL and RL, A mutual capacitance may be formed between them. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention can sense the touch position of the user by using the first and second touch lines TL and RL.

Also, each of the first and second touch lines TL and RL may be formed of an opaque metal. In this case, each of the first and second touch lines TL and RL includes a bank 255 or a black matrix 274 to prevent light emitted from the light emitting regions RE, GE, And the width of each of the first and second touch lines TL and RL may be narrower than the width of the bank 255 or the width of the black matrix 274. [

On the other hand, when the organic light emitting display according to the embodiment of the present invention displays an image at a high resolution such as UHD (ultra high definition, 3840x2160), since the width of the bank 255 is narrow, Each of the transistors TL and RL needs to be formed in a precise position in a fine pattern in order to be arranged to overlap with the bank 255. [ To this end, each of the first and second touch lines TL and RL may be formed by an EHD printing method by applying a predetermined voltage to the EHD voltage applying line 252.

Specifically, the EHD printing method applies a positive voltage to the nozzle and applies a ground voltage or a negative voltage to the EHD voltage applying line 252 while dropping the metal material. The positive voltage may be a voltage higher than 0V and the negative voltage may be a voltage lower than 0V. As a result, the dropped metal material has a positive voltage, and therefore can be accurately disposed at a position corresponding to the EHD voltage applying line 252 having a ground voltage or a negative voltage. A detailed description thereof will be given later with reference to FIG.

Color filters 271 and 272 are formed on the upper substrate 112 facing the lower substrate 111. The color filters may include red color filters 271, green color filters 272, and blue color filters. The red color filters 271 are arranged corresponding to the red light emitting region RE and the green color filters 272 are arranged corresponding to the green light emitting region GE and the blue color filters are arranged in the blue light emitting region BE Can be disposed correspondingly.

A black matrix 274 is formed on the color filters so as to be overlapped with the bank 255. The black matrix 274 includes a material capable of absorbing light. It is possible to prevent the color mixture from being caused by the light emitted from adjacent light emitting regions due to the black matrix 274.

The lower substrate 111 and the upper substrate 112 are bonded together by a transparent adhesive layer 280. [ The transparent adhesive layer 280 may be an adhesive or an adhesive film. Specifically, the transparent adhesive layer 280 bonds the second inorganic film 173 of the lower substrate 111 and the color filters 271 and 272 of the upper substrate 112 to the lower substrate 111 and the upper substrate 112 may be joined together.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the first and second touch lines TL and RL can be formed by applying a predetermined voltage to the EHD voltage applying line 252 and using the EHD printing method. have. As a result, even when the organic light emitting display device displays an image at a high resolution such as UHD (ultra high definition, 3840 × 2160), the first and second touch lines TL and RL are connected to the banks Patterned metal lines may be formed so as to overlap with the fine pattern metal lines.

In addition, the embodiment of the present invention may form the first touch lines TL in the sealing film 260 and the second touch lines RL on the sealing film 260. As a result, the embodiment of the present invention can use a part of the sealing film 260 as an insulating film for insulating the first touch lines TL and the second touch lines RL, A mutual capacitance may be formed between the second touch lines RL and the second touch lines RL. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention can sense the touch of the user by the in-cell touch method of the mutual capacity type.

4 is a cross-sectional view showing another example of I-I 'and II-II' of FIG.

4, the second touch lines RL are formed in the sealing film 260, which is substantially the same as that described with reference to FIG. Hereinafter, for the sake of convenience of description, a detailed description of the components substantially the same as those in Fig. 3 will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 4, the first touch lines TL may be formed on the first inorganic film 171, and the second touch lines RL may be formed on the organic film 172. In this case, since the first and second touch lines TL and RL can be insulated by the organic film 263, a mutual capacitance is formed between the first and second touch lines TL and RL. Can be formed. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention can sense the touch position of the user by using the first and second touch lines TL and RL.

Also, each of the first and second touch lines TL and RL may be formed of an opaque metal.

First, gate lines, data lines, and thin film transistors are formed on the lower substrate 111 as shown in FIG. 11A. The lower substrate 111 may be glass or plastic. In FIG. 11A, the thin film transistors 210 are formed in a top gate manner in which the gate electrode is located on the top of the semiconductor layer. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, the thin film transistors 210 may be formed by a bottom gate method in which a gate electrode is positioned below a semiconductor layer. The thin film transistors 210 are formed in the display area DA.

Semiconductor layers 211 are formed on the lower substrate 111. Alternatively, a buffer layer (not shown) may be formed on the lower substrate 111, and then a semiconductor layer 211 may be formed on a buffer layer (not shown). An interlayer insulating film 220 is formed on the semiconductor layers 211. The interlayer insulating film 220 is a film for insulating the semiconductor layers 211 from other metals.

Each of the source electrodes 213 and the drain electrodes 214 may be connected to the semiconductor layer 211 through a contact hole passing through the interlayer insulating layer 220 and the gate insulating layer 230.

A planarization layer 240 is formed on the source electrodes 213 and the drain electrodes 214. The planarizing film 240 is a film for arranging the pixels P partitioned by the banks 255 in a flat manner. The planarization layer 240 may be formed of a resin such as photo acryl and polyimide. (S101 in Fig. 10)

Secondly, the anode electrodes 251 and the EHD voltage applying line 252 are formed on the planarization layer 240 as shown in FIG. 11B. The contact holes may be formed through the planarization layer 240 to expose the drain electrodes 214 before the anode electrodes 251 are formed. Thus, each of the anode electrodes 251 may be connected to the drain electrode 214 through a contact hole passing through the planarization layer 240. The EHD voltage application line 252 is formed between the anode electrodes 251.

In order to obtain a micro cavity effect in the upper emission type, the anode electrodes 251 are preferably formed of a metal material having a high reflectance such as aluminum and a laminated structure of aluminum and ITO. The anode electrodes 251 and the EHD voltage applying line 252 may be formed of the same material. (S102 in Fig. 10)

An organic light emitting layer 253 is formed on the anode electrodes 251 and the banks 255. Each of the organic light emitting layers 253 may include a hole transporting layer, a light emitting layer, and an electron transporting layer. The organic light emitting layer 253 may include only a white light emitting layer that emits white light.

For example, the first inorganic film 261 may be formed of SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , SiON, or SiNx. (S103 in Fig. 10)

Fourth, first touch lines TL are formed on the first inorganic film 261 by an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing method as shown in FIG. 11D.

Specifically, first, the EHD nozzle NZ is disposed on the first inorganic film 261 so as to be overlapped with the bank 255. Then, a ground voltage or a negative voltage is applied to the EHD voltage applying line 252. Then, a positive voltage is applied to the EHD nozzle NZ to drop the metal material. In this case, the metal material having the charge from the EHD nozzle can be accurately formed on the EHD voltage applying line 252 since it is collected by the EHD voltage applying line 252 to which the ground voltage or the negative voltage is applied. As a result, the first touch lines TL can be finely patterned to overlap the banks 255 on the first inorganic film 261.

12A, when the ground voltage or the negative voltage is not applied to the EHD voltage application line 252, the width W1 of the first touch line TL is set to a ground voltage or a ground voltage to the EHD voltage application line 252 as shown in FIG. And is larger than the width W2 of the first touch line TL when a negative voltage is applied. If the ground voltage or the negative voltage is not applied to the EHD voltage application line 252, the first touch line TL may drop or be broken in the openings of the light emitting regions RE, GE, and BE have.

However, the embodiment of the present invention forms an EHD voltage applying line 252 capable of applying a ground voltage or a negative voltage to a position where the fine pattern metal line is to be patterned by the EHD printing method. As a result, the embodiment of the present invention can form the first touch line TL by fine patterning by the EHD printing method. In addition, since the EHD nozzle EZ does not contact the first inorganic film 261 in the embodiment of the present invention, the first touch lines TL can be formed without damaging the first inorganic film 261.

In this case, the EHD voltage application line 252 of the lower substrate 111 adjacent to the lower substrate 111 may be a ground voltage or a negative voltage supplied to the pads of the lower substrate 111 Can be supplied.

Then, a ground voltage or a negative voltage is applied to the EHD voltage applying line 252. Then, a positive voltage is applied to the EHD nozzle NZ to drop the metal material. In this case, the metal material having the charge from the EHD nozzle NZ can be accurately formed on the EHD voltage applying line 252 since it is collected in the EHD voltage applying line 252 to which the ground voltage or the negative voltage is applied. As a result, the second touch lines RL can be finely patterned to overlap the banks 255 on the second inorganic film 263.

The embodiment of the present invention forms an EHD voltage applying line 252 capable of applying a ground voltage or a negative voltage to a position where the fine pattern metal line is to be patterned by the EHD printing method. As a result, the embodiment of the present invention can form the second touch line RL by fine patterning by the EHD printing method. In addition, the embodiment of the present invention can form the second touch lines RL without damaging the second inorganic film 263 because the EHD nozzle EZ does not contact the second inorganic film 263. (S106 in Fig. 10)

Seventh, the lower substrate 111 and the upper substrate 112 are bonded to each other using a transparent adhesive layer 280 as shown in FIG. The transparent adhesive layer 280 may be an adhesive or an adhesive film.

It is possible to prevent the color mixture from being caused by the light emitted from adjacent light emitting regions due to the black matrix 274.

Third, the first etch stop layer ESL1 is formed on the first metal material ML1 by an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing method as shown in FIG. 15C. The first etch stop layer ESL1 is a layer formed in a region where the first touch lines TL are to be formed to prevent the first metal material ML1 from being etched.

Specifically, first, the EHD nozzle NZ is disposed over the bank 255 on the first metal material ML1. Then, a positive voltage is applied to the EHD nozzle NZ and the organic material is dropped to form an etch stop layer (ESL). The first etch stop layer ESL1 is a layer for preventing the first metal material ML1 from being etched. Therefore, when the first etch stop layer ESL1 is formed using the EHD printing method, Less accuracy is required than when it is formed. Accordingly, the method of fabricating an OLED display according to another embodiment of the present invention can form the first etch stop layer ESL1 using the EHD printing method without forming the EHD voltage applying line 252. [ (S203 in Fig. 14)

Fourth, the first metal lines ML1 are etched to form the first touch lines TL as shown in FIG. 15D. The etching of the first metallic material ML1 may be a wetting wetting. (S204 in Fig. 14)

Fifthly, an insulating film 290 is formed on the first touch lines TL and the second inorganic film 263 as shown in FIG. 15E. The insulating layer 290 may be formed of the same material as the first and second inorganic layers 261 and 263. (S205 in Fig. 14)

Sixth, a second metal material ML2 is formed on the insulating film 290 as shown in FIG. The second metallic material ML2 is preferably formed of a metallic material that is opaque than the transparent metallic material to lower the resistance. The second metallic material ML2 may be formed to cover the display area DA. (S206 in Fig. 14)

Seventh, as shown in FIG. 15G, a second etch stop layer ESL2 is formed on the second metal material ML2 by an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing method. The second etch stop layer ESL2 is a layer formed in a region where the second touch lines RL are to be formed to prevent the second metal material ML2 from being etched.

Specifically, first, the EHD nozzle NZ is disposed over the bank 255 on the second metal material ML2. Then, a positive voltage is applied to the EHD nozzle NZ and the organic material is dropped to form the second etch stop layer ESL2. The second etch stop layer ESL2 is a layer for preventing the second metal material ML2 from being etched. Therefore, when the second etch stop layer ESL2 is formed using the EHD printing method, Less accuracy is required than when it is formed. Accordingly, the method of fabricating an organic light emitting display according to still another embodiment of the present invention can form the second etch stop layer ESL2 using the EHD printing method without forming the EHD voltage applying line 252. [ (S207 in Fig. 14)

Eighth, the second metal material ML2 is etched to form the second touch lines RL as shown in FIG. 15H. The etching of the second metallic material ML2 may be a wetting wetting. (S208 in Fig. 14)

15, the lower substrate 111 and the upper substrate 112 are bonded to each other by using a transparent adhesive layer 280. FIG. The transparent adhesive layer 280 bonds the color filters 271 and 272 of the insulating layer 290 of the lower substrate 111 and the color filters 271 and 272 of the upper substrate 112 so that the lower substrate 111 and the upper substrate 112 They can be joined together. (S209 in Fig. 14)

As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first and second touch lines TL and RL are formed on the sealing film 260 by forming the etching preventing layers ESL1 and ESL2 using the EHD printing method. Can be formed. As a result, even when the organic light emitting display device displays an image at a high resolution such as UHD (ultra high definition, 3840 × 2160), the first and second touch lines TL and RL are connected to the banks Patterned metal lines may be formed so as to overlap with the fine pattern metal lines.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.
