Abstract
A display apparatus includes a flexible panel including a first non-bending area, a second non-bending area spaced apart from the first non-bending area, and a bending area between the first non-bending area and the second non-bending area, a circuit film having an opening at a first end of thereof and disposed on the second non-bending area of the flexible panel, an anisotropic conductive film disposed between the flexible panel and the circuit film, and a protective layer disposed on the bending area and covering at least a portion of the first end of the circuit film.
Claims19
A display apparatus, comprising:
- a flexible panel including a first non-bending area, a second non-bending area spaced apart from the first non-bending area, and a bending area between the first non-bending area and the second non-bending area;
- a circuit film having an opening at a first end of thereof and disposed on the second non-bending area of the flexible panel, the opening including a plurality of via holes;
- an anisotropic conductive film disposed between the flexible panel and the circuit film;
- and
- a protective layer disposed on the bending area and covering at least a portion of the first end of the circuit film.
A method for manufacturing a display apparatus, comprising the steps of:
- preparing a flexible panel including a first non-bending area, a second non-bending area spaced apart from the first non-bending area, and a bending area between the first non-bending area and the second non-bending area;
- attaching a first substrate overlapping the first non-bending area of the flexible panel on the flexible panel;
- attaching a second substrate overlapping the second non-bending area of the flexible panel and being spaced apart from the first substrate on the flexible panel;
- attaching a carrier film on the first substrate, the second substrate and a space between the first substrate and the second substrate;
- attaching an optical film on the first non-bending area opposite to the first substrate of the flexible panel;
- disposing an anisotropic conductive film on the second non-bending area opposite to the second substrate of the flexible panel;
- forming an opening at a first end of a circuit film;
- disposing the circuit film on the anisotropic conductive film;
- and
- forming a protective layer disposed on the bending area and covering a portion of the first end of the circuit film.
