Abstract
A display device and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. In one aspect, the display device includes a substrate including a separation area and a plurality of pixel formed over the substrate. The separation area is formed between adjacent pixels, and a plurality of through holes are respectively defined by a plurality of surrounding inner surfaces of the separation area, and wherein each of the inner surfaces passes through the substrate. The display device also includes an encapsulation layer formed over the substrate and covering the inner surfaces of the separation area.
