Display device with micro cover layer and manufacturing method for the same

A display comprising:

• an active area having a plurality of pixels;
• a non-active area surrounding the active area, the non-active area including a driving circuit area and an etched area of multiple insulating layers;
• and
• a trimmed edge at an outer periphery of the non-active area,
• the etched area of multiple insulating layers being located between the driving circuit area and the trimmed edge;
• wherein the driving circuit area includes a source voltage (VSS) line or a GIP (Gate-In-Panel) structure,
• wherein the non-active area further includes a stripe structure that comprises at least one inorganic insulating layer and a crack stopper structure configured to block potential propagation of cracks initiated at an outer edge of the non-active area and
• wherein among the stripe structure and an insulation layer etched area, the stripe structure is closer to the driving circuit area than the insulation layer etched area is closer to the driving circuit area.

A method of manufacturing a flexible display panel, comprising:

• forming an insulation layer on a base layer;
• forming a Gate-In-Panel (GIP) circuit in an inactive area of the base layer surrounding an active area of the base layer;
• and
• forming an insulation layer etched area on the base layer to obtain the flexible display panel,
• wherein the inactive area further includes a stripe structure in at least a part of the insulation layer etched area,
• wherein forming the insulation layer etched area comprises:
• etching the insulation layer between the GIP circuit and an edge of the base layer, such that the insulation layer etched area has an inorganic layer remaining on a substrate after etching, and
• the remaining inorganic layer in the insulation layer etched area has a thickness of less than 2 mm.
