Display device and method of producing display device

A display device comprising:

• a display panel including a first substrate having thin film patterns on a section of a plate surface thereof, and a second substrate that is bonded to the first substrate with sealant that is disposed to surround the thin film patterns, the display panel performing displaying;
• and
• a resin film having flexibility and configuring a section of the thin film patterns and extending outside the sealant continuously from the thin film patterns, the resin film having a section outside the sealant and at least the section having metal lines through which signals for driving the display panel are transmitted;
• and
• a lighting device supplying light rays to the display panel, wherein
• one of the substrates is fixed to the lighting device, and
• at least a part of the section of the resin film outside the sealant is fixed to the lighting device.

A method of producing a display device comprising:

• a thin film forming process of forming thin film patterns including first metal lines and a resin film on one section of a first substrate and forming the resin film on another section of the first substrate;
• a line forming process of forming second metal lines on a section of the resin film to be directly connected to the first metal lines;
• a bonding process of disposing sealant on the first substrate to surround the thin film patterns and such that the resin film is disposed inside and outside a surrounded area, and bonding the first substrate and a second substrate opposite each other with the sealant after the line forming process;
• a second substrate removing process of removing a section of the second substrate outside the sealant after the bonding process;
• and
• a first substrate removing process of separating and removing at least a part of a section of the first substrate outside the sealant from the resin film after the bonding process.
