Abstract
A display device is disclosed. In one aspect, the display device includes a substrate including a display area, the display area including a plurality of pixels configured to display an image and a pad area adjacent to the pad area and configured to transfer electrical signals. At least a portion of the pad area is bendable. The display device also includes an insulating layer formed over the substrate and including a bending groove in the pad area. The bending groove includes a sidewall. A plurality of peripheral wires is formed over the insulating layer, and a cutoff portion is connected to the sidewall and disposed between adjacent peripheral wires.

A display device comprising:
- a substrate including a display area, the display area including a plurality of pixels configured to display an image and a pad area adjacent to the display area and configured to transfer electrical signals, wherein at least a portion of the pad area is bent;
- an insulating layer disposed on the substrate and including a groove in the pad area, and a cutoff portion, wherein the groove includes a first sidewall adjacent the display area and a second sidewall opposite the first sidewall;
- a plurality of peripheral wires dispose on the insulating layer;
- and
- the cutoff portion disposed between adjacent peripheral wires,
- wherein the cutoff portion extends from the first sidewall to the second sidewall in a first direction, and wherein a length of the cutoff portion in the first direction is less than a width of the groove in the first direction.
A display device comprising:
- a substrate including a display area configured to display an image and a pad area adjacent to the display area and configured to transfer electrical signals to the display area, wherein a portion of the pad area is bent;
- an insulating layer disposed on the substrate and including a groove in the pad area, wherein the groove includes a first sidewall adjacent the display area and a second sidewall opposite the first sidewall,
- a plurality of display wires formed in the display area;
- a plurality of peripheral wires formed in the peripheral area and electrically connected to the display wires;
- and
- the insulating layer further comprising a cutoff portion, the cutoff portion extending from the sidewall into the pad area, wherein the cutoff portion is interposed between adjacent peripheral wires, and
- wherein the cutoff portion extends from the first sidewall to the second sidewall in a first direction, and does not contact the second sidewall.
