Abstract
A display device may include a display panel, an input sensing unit, and a driving circuit board. The display panel includes a base substrate and a driving pad, and the input sensing unit includes an encapsulation substrate and an input pad. The driving circuit board may be provided on one of side surfaces of the base substrate adjacent to the driving pad and on one of connection surfaces of the encapsulation substrate adjacent to the input pad and may be electrically connected to the driving pad and the input pad, respectively.
Claims20
A display device, comprising:
- a display panel comprising a base substrate, in which a display region and a non-display region adjacent to the display region are defined, and a driving pad, wherein the base substrate includes a top surface, a bottom surface, and side surfaces connecting the top surface to the bottom surface, and wherein the driving pad is provided in the non-display region on the top surface of the base substrate;
- an input sensing unit comprising an encapsulation substrate and an input pad, wherein the encapsulation substrate includes a first surface facing the top surface of the base substrate, a second surface, and connection surfaces connecting the first surface to the second surface, and wherein the input pad is provided in the non-display region on the first surface of the encapsulation substrate;
- and
- a driving circuit board extending in a thickness direction of the display panel and disposed on a first side surface of the base substrate among the side surfaces that is adjacent to the driving pad, and on a first connection surface of the encapsulation substrate among the connection surfaces that is adjacent to the input pad,
- wherein the driving circuit board is electrically connected to the driving pad via a driving side electrode and is electrically connected to the input pad via an input side electrode, respectively, and
- wherein at least one of the driving side electrode and the input side electrode extends between the base substrate and the encapsulation substrate in a cross-sectional view and electrically contacts at least a portion of the first connection surface of the encapsulation substrate or at least a portion the first side surface of the base substrate.
