Method for manufacturing curved display panel, and curved display panel manufactured by same manufacturing method

A method of manufacturing a curved display panel by reducing a thickness of a flat display panel comprising a first substrate and a second substrate, the method comprising:

• polishing a portion that is to form a protrusion on an edge of at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate to a preset thickness through mechanical polishing;
• masking the portion that is to form the protrusion, polished to the preset thickness in the polishing, using a masking member so as to prevent the portion from being etched by an etchant;
• etching the display panel to a preset thickness by the etchant so as to be thinner than the portion masked by the masking member to make the protrusion protrude therefrom;
• and
• after the polishing, performing surface treatment by applying a leveling agent in order to minimize roughness of a polished surface that is mechanically polished in the polishing.

• wherein the masking member comprises a recess-forming portion, which makes a portion of the protrusion be exposed to the etchant, so that a division recess, which reduces rigidity of the protrusion, is formed in the portion corresponding to the recess-forming portion through etching using the etchant.
