Abstract
A display apparatus includes a substrate on which a central area having a display area and a peripheral area disposed around the central area are defined. The display apparatus includes a display area inorganic layer on the display area and extending to a portion of the peripheral area; and an encapsulation inorganic layer covering the display area, on the display area inorganic layer, and having an edge that is in parallel with or extending over an edge of the display area inorganic layer.
Claims39
A display apparatus comprising a substrate comprising a central area and a peripheral area adjacent to the central area, the central area comprising a display area, the display apparatus further comprising:
- a display device and at least one of a semiconductor layer or a conductive layer electrically connected to the display device in the display area, the conductive layer comprising a gate electrode;
- a display area inorganic layer on the display area and extending to a portion of the peripheral area;
- and
- an encapsulation inorganic layer on the display area inorganic layer and covering the display area, the encapsulation inorganic layer comprising an edge directly connecting with or extending over an edge of the display area inorganic layer and comprising a region that directly contacts a top surface of the display area inorganic layer at the peripheral area,
- wherein the encapsulation inorganic layer covers the display device, and the display area inorganic layer does not cover the display device,
- wherein the display area inorganic layer covers a top surface of the at least one of the semiconductor layer or the conductive layer, and
- wherein the encapsulation inorganic layer is smaller than the substrate, and the edge of the encapsulation inorganic layer is spaced from an edge of the substrate.
A display apparatus comprising a substrate comprising a central area and a peripheral area adjacent to the central area, the central area comprising a display area, the display apparatus further comprising:
- a display device and at least one of a semiconductor layer or a conductive layer electrically connected to the display device in the display area;
- a first inorganic layer on the display area and extending to a portion of the peripheral area;
- and
- a second inorganic layer on the first inorganic layer and covering the display area, the second inorganic layer comprising an edge directly connecting with or extending over an edge of the first inorganic layer and comprising a region that directly contacts a top surface of the first inorganic layer at the peripheral area,
- wherein the second inorganic layer covers the display device, and the first inorganic layer does not cover the display device, and
- wherein the first inorganic layer covers a top surface of the at least one of a semiconductor layer or a conductive layer.
