Abstract
A display device includes a substrate that includes a bending area, a display active layer disposed on the substrate and that displays an image, a polarization layer disposed on the display active layer, a protective layer that contacts an end of the polarization layer and covers the bending area of the substrate; and an adhesive layer disposed on a boundary between the polarization layer and the protective layer, the adhesive layer extends from the end of the polarization layer toward the bending area by an extension area to overlap a portion of the protective layer.
Claims39
A display device, comprising:
- a substrate that includes a first area that displays an image, a second area, and a bendable area disposed between the first area and the second area;
- a polarization layer disposed on the first area;
- a protective layer that contacts an end of the polarization layer and covers the bendable area and a part of the second area of the substrate;
- an adhesive layer that includes a first part that overlaps the polarization layer and a second part that extends from the end of the polarization layer toward the bendable area and overlaps a portion of the protective layer;
- and
- a supporting member disposed under the substrate, and that includes an opening that overlaps the bendable area,
- wherein the supporting member includes a first portion that overlaps the polarization layer, and a second portion that extends from the end of the polarization layer toward the bendable area and overlaps a portion of the protective layer, and
- wherein the second part of the adhesive layer, the second part of the supporting member, and a part of protective layer overlap each other.
A display device, comprising:
- a substrate that includes a first area that displays an image, a second area, and a bendable area disposed between the first area and the second area;
- a polarization layer disposed on the first area;
- and
- a protective layer that contacts an end of the polarization layer and covers the bendable area and a part of the second area of the substrate;
- wherein a step is disposed at boundary between the polarization layer and the protective layer,
- the step corresponds to a thickness of the protective film, and
- an upper surface of the polarization layer is disposed lower than an upper surface of the protective layer by the step.
A display device, comprising:
- a substrate that includes a first area that displays an image, a second area, and a bendable area disposed between the first area and the second area;
- a polarization layer disposed on the first area;
- a first adhesive layer that attaches the first area and the polarization layer;
- and
- a protective layer that covers the bendable area and a part of the second area of the substrate;
- wherein the first adhesive layer includes a first part that overlaps the polarization layer and a second part that extends from an end of the polarization layer toward the bendable area and overlaps a portion of the protective layer, and
- wherein the polarization layer is also disposed on an overlapped area of the second part of the first adhesive layer.
